DOROTHY. BACKER,
PUBLISHER

By becoming publisher of the
New 'York Post, Dorothy Schiff
Backer reached the apex of an
interesting career. In succeeding
her husband in that post, she
merely adds to the heavy res-
ponsibilities she had carried
from the first day that the
Backers purchased the afternoon
daily from J. David Stern, the
Philadelphia publisher and
friend of the President.

At 39, Mrs. Backer begins the
most fascinating period of her
life. Originally, this daughter. of
Mortimer Schiff and grand-
daughter of Jacob H. Schiff was
married to a non-Jew, Richard
Hall, with whom she had two
children. Her divorce in 1931 was

and the New Deal.
The trusteeship of- wealth is
one of the fixed views of Dor-
othy Backer as it is of her equal-
ly charming husband. She has
been a member of the Board of
Child-- Welfare but also of the
League of Women Voters and
the Women's Trade Union Lea-
gue. Her wealth has been used
to promote many liberal econom-
ic and political causes, not least
the New Deal itself. While she
was married to Richard Hall, she
followed the political faith of her
fathers—Republicanism. But in
the preside .tial election that fol-
lowed her divorce she became a
vigorous supporter of Franklin
D. Roosevelt, whose cause she
has espoused warmly ever since.

Both of them began to display a

the same time. In the last ten
years there have come to the
surface those qualities of char-

conviction and interest which

Jewish Leader

A Tribute to Detroit's
Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich

By MARTHA NEUMARK

In all the land there are few
women who are so active in
both the local and national Jew-
ish fields as Mrs. Dora Ehrlich
of Detroit. That Hadassah, the
Women's Zionist Organization of
America, is able to do as con-
sistently able a constructive job
as lies to its credit, is due to the
fact that it is women like Mrs.
Ehrlich who constitute its lead-
ership.
Recently the city of Detroit
came into the Jewish headlines
because it was credited with do-
ing the best job of Jewish fund-
raising this year. Mrs. Ehrlich
is typical of the spirit which
made that achievement possible.
Unreservedly Zionist in , her
views, Mrs. Ehrlich is known to
be a moderate who has won
many other people to her point
of view because it was temper-
ately presented.
Daughter of a Jewish scholar,
Mrs. Ehrlich has
retained
throughout the years a keen in-
terest in Jewish education. A
graduate of the University of
.Michigan, she taught in the De-
' troit schools for a number of
years until her marriage to the
late Joseph H. Erhlich, a jeweler,
who was one of the most highly
regarded Zionists in the nation.

In the early years when Henri-
etta Szold was establishing the
nucleus of Hadassah, she found
an eager associate in Mrs. Ehr-
lich, who helped found the De-
troit Chapter and who has been
for many years one of the most
important and influential mem-
bers of the National Board of
Hadassah.

At a time when women's par-
ticipation in Jewish communal
affairs was still restricted to
serving the cookies to men who
had gathered for a meeting at
the local Jewish center, Mrs.
Ehrlich was already respected for
her rounded knowledge of the
Jewish scene. She is probably
the only woman in America who
was for almost a decade the
head of the budget committee
of a Jewish Welfare Fund. Her
acquaintance with Zionist the-
ory has not made her any less
effective as a practical fund-rais-
er among both men and women
in Detroit. Her husband's death
left her in charge of his busi-
ness. Her son's departure for
the United States Army long be-
fore Pearl Harbor added to her
responsibilities. All of these
she has taken in her stride,
demonstrating to the Jewish
women of America that, with pa-
tience and effort, they can serve
the Jewish community as its
leaders in war as well as in
peace.
