Maybe Lou has something
there, too. Without a doubt, the

outstanding in his sport.

Incentive Needed
DETROIT IS NO different. The
ball players are around, all that
is needed is an incentive. An all-
Jewish federation squad would
inevitably promote spectator in-
terest.
Federation ball is always given
good play in the local dailies, that
in itself is an excellent advertis-
ing medium for a prospective,
sponsor.
The expenses entailed would
buy uniforms (good for approx-
imately three seasons), jackets
for the players and standard
equipment.
The advantages to such a set-
up would be two-fold: good pub-
licity for the sponsor; and an in-
centive for a re-emphasis of sport
in the Jewish community.
We would be glad to pass along
any further information to any
person or concern interested 'in
financing such an arrangement.

14-2.

Rebels Urge Ouster
of Congress Leaders
NEW YORK — Charging be-
trayal of the "proud traditions of
the American Jewish Congress"
by the present leaders, the Com-
mittee for a Democratic Ameri-
can Jewish Congress called for
for their ouster at the forthcom-
ing national convention. The
conclave opens in New York on
Nov. 9.
The Committee for a Demo-
cratic American Jewish Congress,
a newly organized national com-
mittee of Congress members, is
headed by Rabbi Shepherd Z.
Baum of New York, former na-
tional director of organization
for the Congress and, at present,
a member of its national execu-
tive committee
ACCUSE PROFESSIONALS
The committee statement de-
clares that, "an autocratic few
have seized control of the Amer-
ican Jewish Congress. Expulsions
and threats of expulsions are the
order of the day. Top profession-
als brazenly intervene in division
and chapter elections.
"The express mandates of the
1948 convention are shamefully
violated. A handful of officers,
aided by ruthless professional
bureaucracy, attempts to en-
trench itself in office by dicta-
torial and authoritarian methods."
HAS DETROIT LINK
(Similar charges have been
made in Detroit by the Metropol-
itan Chapter of Congress which
was suspended recently by the
national executive committee.
The chapter is awaiting a hearing
before the administrative com-
mittee before it will recognize
the suspension, Morris Gleicher,
president, said.)
Sharply criticized by the New
York committee are the follow-
ing four leaders of the organiza-
tion: Rabbi Irving Miller, chair-
man of the executive committee;
Shad Polier, vice-president; his
wife Justine Wise Polier, presi-
dent of the Women's Division;
and Di.. David Petegorsky, exe-
cutive director.
The end of the JWV base ball
season found three teams tied for
first place. The trio involved
were Lt. Eli Levin Post, Lt. Ray-
mond Zussman Post and Lt. Roy
F. Green Post. A playoff has been
scheduled to break the deadlock.
• • •
Auxiliaries of Lt. Roy F. Green
Post, Lt. Eli Levin Post and Lt.
Raymond Zussman Post are look-
ing forward to August 10, at
which time they will have 29 pa-
tients from the Dearborn Veter-
ans Hospital as guests at the ball
game and later at a supper party
at the home of Rose Cantor. This
will mark the first time that the
boys will enjoy themselves as
guests at a supper at a private
residence.

Lt. Raymond Bloch Post has
requested that each post and
auxiliary have representatives at
the re-burial services of Lt. Ray-
mond Bloch.
Lt. Raymond Bloch, fur whom
the post was named, enlisted in
the army in 1941. He served with
the 77th Division and fought on
Guam, the Philippines, and Okin-
awa. Lt. Bloch was killed in
action on the island of Iwo Shima
April 18, 1945. He was a graduate
of Northeastern High School and
Wayne University. While at
Wayne University he served as
editor of the university paper,
the Collegian. He is survived by
a brother Irwin, and sister Edith.
