Community Council
Reports on Its Work
The results of 13 years of growth and achievement of
the Jewish Community Council of Detroit are graphically
portrayed in "Profile 1950," the annual report to the Jewish
community released this week by Dr. Shmarya Kleinman
who has just completed his first year as president of the
Council.

Rationing List
TEL AVIV—(WNS)—Because
the country's foreign exchange
position has become worse, Is-
rael's Supply Minister Bernard
Joseph announced this week that
clothing and shoes will hence-
forth be rationed.
Since appropriations for the
raw materials that are needed for
clothing and shoes will not be
sufficient to produce quantities
at the present rate of consump-
tion, there will be shortages of
these articles and rationing will
be the only means of assuring
equitable distribution, he de-
clared.
Dr. Joseph announced this step
in a radio speech to the public.
Hitherto only food and soap have
been rationed in Israel.
TEL AVIV—(WNS)—Declaring that Egypt rather than
Israel has warlike intentions, a spokesman for the Israel
army this week refuted the Egyptian complaint to the United
Nations which charged Israel with "premeditated aggression."
Egypt has lodged a protest€
with the UN over a minor inci-
dent which occurred on June 30.
On that day an Israel patrol er-
roneously crossed the frontier
near Rafa, but withdrew when
the Egyptians opened fire, Leb-
anon has protested to the UN
against Israel over a border in-
cident involving a Lebanese
plane.
At Lake Success, Gen. William
Riley, chief of the UN Truce
Commission in Palestine, de-
clared that these border incidents
could and should be settled by
mixed armistice commissions on
the spot.
