AVING BECOME quite the
authority on flat racing, we
decided to extend our sporting
knowledge to that of the harness
horses.
One evening
last week four
of us piled re-
signedly into a
vehicle (call us
cynicists or de-
featists, the line
is too fine to
draw) and set
sail out Seven
Mile road for

Downs.
We arrived too late for the
first three races, thereby saving
six dollars.
Being rather accustomed to gal-
lant steeds barreling heaven-
bent-for-leather out of an elec-
tric starting rate with jockeys
perched high upon their necks,
the first sight of the little push-
carts behind • the trotting horses
sent us into gales of hearty laugh-

Non-Jewish patients at the Dearborn Veterans Hospital visited
the site of the JWV Memorial Home with Department of Michigan

the anti-Semitism that helped to
"all but destroy" Germany will

On Aug. 1 John J. McCloy, U.S.
High Commissioner-designate, de-

took to safeguard the rights of
Jews and other minority groups.
ASK SAFEGUARDS
An appeal to McCloy to take
steps to prevent id the future
riots similar to the one in Mun-
ich was sent from New York by
the American Jewish Committee
and the World Jewish Congress.
Jacob Blaustein, president of
the committee, charged that pub-

Nazis from Synagagues and Jew-
ish homes in Europe between
1938 and 1945 are en route to the
U. S. for re-distribution to Jewish
museums, Synagogues and com-

in the Jewish Museum of New
York.
These treasures, of great his-

are only a part of the collection
which was recovered by allied
military authorities after V-E

They were stored, together
with hundreds of thousands of
