Israel Sets Up
Entry Quota

Builds Future

Council Drops
Holy City Plan

LAKE SUCCESS--(Special)—The United Nations Trus-
teeship Council is reported ready to give up its efforts to in-
ternationalize Jerusalem.
The Council probably will vote unanimously for a ye-
port submitted by Roger Garreau of France, which states
that the Council was unable to get Israel and Jordan to agree
to any plan.
The whole problem will be tossed back into the lap of
the UN Assembly.

JERUSALEM—(WNS)—At a meeting of the coordinating
board of the Israeli government and the Jewish Agency, it
was decided to limit the number of immigrants entering Is-
rael to 12,500 a month.
It was stated that financial reasons were the cause of
this initiation of a quota system in Israeli immigration policy.

Center to Terminate
Contract With Union

—

The employes of the Jewish
Community Center were threat-
ened with cancellation of their
contract, according to a letter of
the board of directors received !
by the Cenies_ensployes union,
the United Office and Profes-
sional Workers of America, Local
43.
The board announced the ter-
mination of the contract effective
June 30.
The contract was terminated
without discussion with the
union. It had been in effect since
June 1944. Though the board
offered to negotiate a new con-
tract with "the union of the em-
ployes' choice," no attempt was
ever made by the board to ne-
gotiate a new contract before can-
celling the existing contract, the
union stated.
Mrs. Frances Stein, ..aeting
president of the union chaPtef'at
the Center, stated that Center
employes have demonstrated re-
-

peatedly that the UOPWA is the
union of their choice.
At a meeting last week, they
expressed their determination to
continue the fight for a better
contract with salary increases
and real collective bargaining.

ELECTION WORKERS
URGED TO DECIDE
At the request of City Clerk
Thomas D. Leadbetter, chairman
of the City Election Commission,
the Jewish Community Council
urges all election board personnel
to report immediately on their
availability for duty on primary
day, Sept. 12 which, this year,
falls on Rosh Hashana.

The Jewish Community Coun-
cil, on behalf of its 266 affiliated
organizations, has informed the
members of the Michigan con-
gressional delegation that it sup-
ports the principle of the separa-
tion of state and church and
therefore backs the Barden bill
which would extend public funds
only to schools which "belong to
and serve all the people."
The Council's letter reads in
part:
"The Jewish Community Coun-
cil of Detroit, reaffirms its ad-
herence to the American principle
of separation of church and state.
In the light of this principle it
firmly supports the public school
system open to all children, ir-
respective of church affiliation or
color, as an indispensable ex-
pression of the democratic spirit.
"The right of a group to main-
tain and conduct schools for the
perpetuation of an instruction in

its doctrines for those who volun-
tarily enroll within them is guars
anteed both by American tradi-
tion and law.
"The public schools, however,
being the only schools that belong..
to and serve all the people, alone
have the right to public funds
contributed by all the people. Any
proposal which permits support
in any form out . of public funds
to be extended to, other than
public schools runs counter to
the basic American principles re-
stated above."
The letter was signed by Dr.
Shmarya Kleinman, president;
Harry Yudkoff, chairman of the
Community Relations Commis-
sion, and Rabbi Morris Adler,
chairman of the Cultural Com-
mission.

LOAN TO ARABS
NAZAR ETI I—(IS1)—The min-
istry of labor has approved a
loan to the Arab town of Naz-
areth for a public works pro-
gram, mainly to improve the
water supply.

At a joint meeting of official
representatives from all the
affiliated organizations of Con-
gregation Beth Abraham, an ed-
ucational board of the congrega-
tion was formed.
Presiding on behalf of the
officers of the congregation was
Rabbi Israel I. Halpern. The fol-
lowing officers of the board of
education were elected for 1950-
51; chairman, Nathan J. Kauf-
man; vice-chairman, William F.
Opperer; treasurer, Herman
Greenbaum and secretary, Mrs.
Nathan J. Kaufman.
Announcement was made and
plans formulated for the estab-
lishment of the Beth Abraham
Religious school to conduct its
classes on Sunday mornings be-
ginning with the Fall term of
1950.
Modern equipment for the kind-
ergarten and the other grades,
as well as a principal and teach-
ing staff will be provided.
Although the limited facilities
of the synagogue building make
it necessary to make room for
the children of the synagogue and
its affiliated memberships first,
registration will be open to the
community and the neighborhood
at large.

Almost a million dollars in
potential pledges is still in the
hands of workers, an analysis by
Isidore Sobeloff, executive di-
rector of the Campaign, dis-
closed. Workers in the seven
trades and professions divisions
were holding emergency confer-
ences this week to spur solicita-
tion and to reassign prospect
slips when necessary.
Solicitation will continue until
June 26, date of the Campaign
victory rally at the Jewish Com-
munity Center.
Professional division, led by
Dr. Charles Lakoff, retained its
lead with 85 percent of their
1949 money reported. Real
Estate, under Barney Smith and
George D. Seyburn, co-chairman,
had 83 per cent of last year's
total reported. Mechanical trades
had raised the largest dollar
total, $907,400 or 78 per cent of
1949.
