Is Acclaimed to Honor Eban,
Mrs. F.D.R.

A large gathering of his friends
assembled at Temple Beth El for
a reception to honor Aaron
Droock, past president of the

the philosophy which governs the

had achieved recognition as the
organization through which the
. Jewish community carries on a
constructive program of commun-
ity relations, and in which all
members of the Jewish commun-
ity have learned to know and
understand each other.
Speaking on behalf of the
Mayor's Interracial Committee,
Edward M. Turner hailed the
contribution of the Council under
Droock's leadership to the im-
rovement of relations between
.
he races in Detroit, and lauded
he
e Council as "a Detroit pioneer
in the field of making our democ-
racy work and in the field of bet-
ter understanding between all
groups of Detroit's population in
the best American tradition."
