Next Year's UM Campaign Given Good Chances
SELL the 1951 UJA campaign short. No doubt
D ON'T
it will have a tough time competing with the Israeli
bond drive but there are good chances
that it will get mighty close to the
figure set for its quota.
One of the things in its favor is
the winning personality of Dr. Joseph
Schwartz who is succeeding Henry
Montor as the executive head of the
UJA (Montor is taking charge of the
bond sales).
Schwartz, although identified for a
number of years with the Joint, is a
good Zionist. He commands respect in
Biron
Zionist and non-Zionist quarters alike.
Before accepting the job he received assurance from
the tot, Jewish leadership that it would give him united
suppoi t to carry out his difficult task.
Joseph or rather "Packy" as his friends call him may
not have Montor's determined drive and fantastic ca-
pacity for work but on the other hand he has the gift
of diplomacy.
Where Montor pushes through, "Packy" achieves
results by negotiated reciprocal consent.

"IUD SUESS," the Nazi film, was based on a novel
written by a Jewish author. It was not intended as anti-
Semitic propaganda just as Charles Dickens "Oliver
Twist' was written primarily as a study of London's
underworld and not as a portrayal of a Jewish villain.
Transplanting these works to the screen, the pro-
ducers created powerful weapons for anti-Semitism.
Hitler's film of "Jud Suess" unquestionably helped to
create the Nazi state of mind which made the Buchen-
walds possible.
"Oliver Twist" whenever it was shown in Europe
produced an atmosphere of intolerance and prejudice
against the Jew.
The other day when Werner Kraus, a gifted actor,
but a collaborator with the Nazis who was the star of
the movie "Jud Suess," tried a comeback in an Ibsen
play the Jewish community protested so effectively that
the authorities prohibited his appearance.
Center Orchestra and Pianist
Mark Beethoven Anniversary
By ROBERT IV. MILLER
An all-Beethoven concert pre-
sented by the Jewish Community
Center last Sunday commemor-
ated the composer's 180th birth-
day—an occasion remembered by
none of Detroit's other musical
organizations.
Julius Chajes conducted an en-
semble of young . enthusiastic
players who made up for their
lack of orchestral polish by show-
ing a great deal of elan and
promise.
The concert (in unconventional
order) began with Beethovan's
First Symphony, a refreshing
work that only hints at the com-
poser's later symphonic achieve-
ments. The orchestra proved
that the current repertory of pre-
romantic symphonic literature
will soon present no serious prob-
lems to this group.
The first movement of the Fifth
Plano Concerto featured Donche
Dikova, a pianist from Bulgaria,
as soloist in a technically discip-
lined performance. Her brilliant
finger work with excellent phras-
ing and a well molded orchestral
accompaniment added up to a
most satisfactory interpretation
of this cornerstone of piano liter-
ature.
It is to be regretted that the
remaining two movements were
not included, for such an inter-
ference with a composition's
structure affects to no small de-
gree the basic logic of its musical
contents.
Miss Dikova's two encores
(Bulgarian Folk Dances by M.
Bensussan) showed the artist's
impressive technique and re-
sourcefulness.
The final Egmont Overture was
perhaps the most successful pres-
entation of the evening, especially
its well played triumphant clos-
ing section that displayed the real
essence of the group's sincere
enthusiasm.
CARE Introduces
New Israel Parcel
Prize Helps Vet
to Replace Limb
NEW YORK — (Special)—
Jacob Bloch, veteran of the
wars for Israel's independence,
is assured of a prosthetic re-
placement for the right arm he
lost to an enemy land mine 9
years ago.
Living at 1741 Clay avenue,
the Bronx, on a visitor's visa,
Bloch won $310 as a partici-
pant on CBS' "Strike It Rich"
to finance the project.
Bloch and his co-contestant
and mentor, Seymour Hurwitt,
president of the Bergen Coun-
ty Bnai Brith in New Jersey,
told M.C. Warren Hull that the
Israeli veteran was here to
undergo prosthetic surgery at
the Hasbrouck Heights Hospi-
tal, N. J., but that the money
for the artificial limb, costing
$450 presented a considerable
problem.
The Bnai Brith chapter had
raised $150.

OUR OWN NATIONAL Council on Freedom from
Censorship, an affiliate of the American Civil Liberties
Union, is now arguing that the Motion Picture Associa-
tion of America did wrong when it withheld its approval
for the American showing of "Oliver Twist."
In the name of democracy the A.C.L.U. demands
that this anti-Semitic propaganda piece be sponsored
by the American motion picture industry. Fair play for
anti-Semitism is not democracy.
It means a visa for discrimination and mass hysteria.
If the A.C.L.U. brand of democracy is correct then
why should not an "enterprising" promoter import the
Nazi film "Jud Suess" for exhibition in America?
Zionists Plan
Auto School
for Israel
The board of the Michigan
Region of the Zionist Organiza-
tion of America will meet at 12
noon, Sunday, Jan. 7, at the Bel-
crest Hotel to hear plans for
establishing the first automotive
training school in Israel. It is
expected that the board will ap-
prove the project.
Though still in blueprint stage,
the project has been lauded by
ZOA president, Benjamin G.
Browdy, Dr. Israel Goldstein, and
Dr. Emanuel Neumann. In their
talks with Morris Jacobs, regional
president, they emphasized the
necessity for establishing trade
schools in Israel to prepare
MRS. HARRY LANDSMAN Israeli youth for the skilled
of 2G37 Fleet, well-known trades. Jacobs declared that "we
who live in the automotive
author and playwright, has
written a new three-act play
called "Ilere We Go Again"
which will be presented to the
Detroit Women's Division of
the American Jewish Congress
on Jan. 17 at the Scottish Rights

national theme.
capital of the world are in the
best position to supply this dire
need and to bring American
know-how to Israel in a practical
way."
A list of the equipment and
technical manuals necessary has

ness to act in an advisory capac-
ity and also make a contribution
to the project.

German Jewish leaders knew only too well the in-
herent dangers in publicly forgiving the inexcusable
sins of even so great an actor as Kraus. They know
that there can be no compromise with anyone who even
indirectly had a share in creating the public climate,
which resulted in the murder of millions of innocent
people in Hitler's gas chambers.
