Center Rejects
Plea for Raises

The State Mediation Committee
has appointed Dr. Rex P. Cran-
son as conciliator in the differ-
ences between the employes of
the Jewish Community Chapter,
I c•2a1 43, Social Service Em-
ployes Union, UOPWA, and the
board of directors of the Jewish
Community Center.
On April 12 the union mem-
bers engaged in a work stoppage
when they met at Union Hall
where an affirmative strike vote
was taken.
The board of directors passed
a resolution, in which it stated
"that it is in sympathy with the
request for increased compensa-
tion and that such sympathy has
been demonstrated by its sub-
mission of a budget to the Coun-
cil of Social Agencies calling for
increases in salaries."
Frances Stein, acting president
of the union chapter, stated,
"This resolution offers nothing
but sympathy,
"The Union demands that the
board cane forth with concrete
proposals for salary increases."
Mrs. Stein expressed the indig-
nation of the union members who
are complaining that instead of
offering salary increases, Herman
Jacobs, executjve director, pro-
poses wage cuts for time spent
in the work stoppage.

By HAROLD S. COVEN
S EGYPTIAN PLANES pum-
meled Tel Aviv and six Arab
armies pierced Israel's territory,
a simple, brief proclamation sent
a thrill to the hearts of Jews the
world over on a Friday evening
in 1948.
"We have decided, relying on
the authority of the Zionist
movement and the support of the
entire Jewish people . • . that
the governing body of the Jew-
ish State shall come into being

"Right is on our side. With us
are the hopes of the past genera-

THAT DOCUMENT which con-
tained the fulfillment of the hopes
and prayers of 60 generations of
Jews over 2,000 years of desola-
tion and persecution, moved the
Jewish community of Detroit to
prepare and carry out the great-
est demonstration of solidarity of
belief and purpose ever seen
here.
More than 20,000 persons, chil-
dren, grand parents, youth and
liddle-aged, came by bus, street-
car, automobile and on foot to
the rairl soaked turf of Roosevelt
Field at Central High School.
The rain which had poured in
torrents all week, stopped Sun-
day morning, as if in response to
divine command. It did not begin
again until the Hatikvah was
sung to end the rally.
Rabbi Leon Fram of Temple

While Detroit Jewry was greeting the birth of the state of
Israel, DPs in Europe were holding their own celebrations for the
land which for many was to be a new home. Shown above is a
demonstration of DPs near Munich, held in May, 1918.
