Dignified Program
b
in English Planned

The Detroit Jewish Chronicle will go on the air within
a Copy — $3 Per Year a few weeks.
Its program will be known as the Jewish Chronicle Hour.
It will be a dignified, powerful, dramatic community
family program.
It will contain narrations, spirited dramatizations, news
told in a March of Time style, a calendar. of events of Jewish
organizations and activities, moments from Jewish history,
bits from Jewish literature, poems, musical cantatas and
interviews.
• • •
In short it will be a reflection of the living Jewish com-
munity dramatically told, yet built against a fairly light
and entertaining background designed to hold the mass of
the listening audience.
The particular feature of the program will be a dramatic
salute to an individual or an organization and will be known
as a "Tribute to Greatness." It will feature an individual or
a group which has played a prominent role in the com-
munity. This feature will be dramatized .by a professional
cast.
• .• •
The program will be completely in English with some
Jewish and Hebrew music of dignity and character.
It will be of the type of program that will interest both
the Yiddish-speaking groups as well as those who are Amer-
ican born and who don't completely understand the Yiddish
or the Hebrew part of the program.
It will be the type of program that one will be proud
to listen to and which will impel Jewish listeners to invite
Christian neighbors to listen to it as well.

Israel Must Soften
Policies, U. S. Says

`Pressure'
Is Denied,
However

1

NEW YORK —(Special)— The
U. S. does not intend to "exercise
pressure” on Israel to admit a
specified 'number of Arab refu-
gees nor will the American gov-
ernment ask for the transfer of
the southern portion of the Negev
to the Arabs.
These assurances were given to
Daniel Frisch, president of the
Zionist Organization of America,
by George C. McGhee, Assistant
Secretary of State for Middle
Eastern and African Affairs.
MEET IN WASHINGTON
Frisch and McGhee met in
Washington last Friday. The re-
sults 'M their conversation were
revealed to a meeting of the ZOA
national administrative council
last weekend.
Discussing McGliee's statement,
Lincoln White, State Department
spokesman, said, however, that
both Israel and the Arab states
would probably be required to
make some concessions on terri-
tory and the refugee problem in
order to reach a peace agreement.
He added:
"As a member of the Palestine
Conciliation Commission, it would
be inappropriate for the United
States to have any specific settle-
, ment plan of its own.
"Our function, as we, see it, is
rather to seek through repre-
sentation on the commission to
narrow the area of disagreement
between the two parties in order
to reach an agreed settlement
which would contribute to last-
ing peace and stability in the
Near East."
EARLIER REPORTS
. Recent dispatches had reported
that the U. S. proposed that Israel
admit 230,000 Arabs in exchange
for certain territorial concessions
including the transfer of the Gaza
strip now held by the Egyptians.
Israel has made it clear that
she has no intention of admitting
more than the 130,000 refugees
she has offered to accept in an
attempt to expedite reconciliation
with the Arabs at Lausanne.

TWO GOOD IDEAS met last
week and the result- was a
special warmth left in the wake
of Eddie Cantor's visit here.
Although he had come to De-
troit to appear in behalf of Boys-
ville, the famous entertainer had
hoped to meet with representa-
tives of the Jewish community
during the time he was in De-
troit. And many Jewish leaders
—among them Louis Berry, chair-
man of the 1949 Allied Jewish
Campaign—were also hoping that
Cantor's busy schedule would
allow time for them to greet him.
• • •
MEETS WITH LEADERS
BERRY AND CANTOR had a
few - minutes conversation one
morning—and. Thursday evening,
70 Jewish Welfare Federation and
Allied Jewish Campaign leaders
turned out at Knoliwood Country
Club to fulfill the two hopes.
From Cantor's standpoint, it
was an opportunity to tell De-
troiters how much the Jews of
Israel and Europe appreciated
Detroit Jewry's work in the Al-
lied Jewish Campaign.
From Detroit's standpoint, it
was an opportunity to let Eddie

Cantor know how much his fel-
low Jews have valued his fine
record as a humanitarian worker
for all causes—and particularly
for the needs of Jews all over
the world, through the United
Jewish Appeal.
In alternating humor and seri-
ousness, Cantor showed the
human qualities that have en-
deared him to millions. He read
a cablegram from Jerusalem
pleading for immediate cash on
Allied Jewish Campaign pledges
previously made.
• • •
RUSHED TO W A
AND THE DETROITERS pres-
ent demonstrated their belief in
Eddie Cantor's picture of overseas
needs by an immediate cash re-
sponse totalling $260,000 in cash.
As a result of these generous pay-
ments, Berry has announced that
the Federation was able to send
a quarter of a million dollars to
the United Jewish Appeal this
week.
Speaking in behalf of the Jew-
ish community of Detroit, Berry
called the gathering "our oppor-
tunity to show Eddie Cantor how
we have warmed with pride every
time we have read of another of
his magnificent humanitarian ef-
forts."

FRISCH 'PROGRAM FOR ACTION'

Spurs ZOA Aid to Israeli Middle Class

NEW YORK—(Special)—ZOA'
President Daniel Frisch, submit-
ting his "Program for Action" to
the ZOA national administrative'
council and national executive
committee, called for a revolution
in Jewish educa-
tion and Jewish
community or-
ganization in the
United State s.
coupled with a
campaign for
large-scale assist-
ance to the mid-
dle-class or "for-
gotten man" of
a
Israel.
Frisch
Emphasizing that "it is the
small businessman who is des-
tined to hold the much needed
balance of power in Israel, keep-

ing the nation to a middle
course," the ZOA president stat-
ed that "to help the middle man
is, to my way of thinking, the
best way of helping the stability
and the success of the State of
Israel, as well as the greatest con-
tribution the ZOA could make to
the welfare of the Jewish peo-
ple."
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
The program comprises the
building of a number of colonies
based on the principle of home
ownership, on land remaining the
property of the Jewish people as
represented by the JNF; a chain
of small loan societies with their
chief purpose that of aiding the
small trader and businessman; a
building program featuring one-
or two-family houses for the

•

small man engaged in subsistence
farming; financial support through
the ZOA to institutions serving
social and medical needs of the
middle class.
Referring to the subject of
Chalutziut (Israel pioneering),
Frisch declared that "the old sys-
tem of long training in the United
States is unsuited to the Amer-
ican temperament and milieu."
LOOKS TO THE SKILLED
Instead he proposed a plan
whereby young men and women
with technical skills needed in Is-
rael would be provided with a
place and facilities for their serv-
ice in Israel proper, directly un-
der ZOA auspices.
The Zionist leader gave as his
opinion that "the crux of the
problem of the Jewish commu-

nity in the United States is or-
ganization. With proper organiza-
tion, most of the problems of
Jewish community life in the
United States must be solved;
without it, they can only multi-
ply, leading ultimately to chaos
and disintegration."
SEES ZOA DIRECTION
Stating that "the ZOA, through
its membership, must become the
spearhead in a movement to-
wards the full democratization of
Jewish community life," Frisch
proposed that " a special ZOA
community relations commission
should direct the long overdue
drive to bring about the attain-
ment of this goal."
In setting forth his plan for a
reorganized educational program,
