C arter CLIFTON AVENUE - CINCINNATI 20, 01110 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE Friday. December 22, 1950 --r-- Page 3 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.

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 Mrs. Landsman Cathedral. wrote the lyrics for the pres- ent Wayne University school song, "Green and Gold" when she was a student there. Last year she won the national award offered by the American Jewish Congress in New York for the best play on an inter- 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 been drawn up by a high official of the Chrysler Corporation. which has indicated its willing- ness to act in an advisory capac- ity and also make a contribution to the project.
