THE JEWISH NEWS

McLeod Pledges
Support to FDR

Bnai Brith Bowling
Congress is Postponed

Makes His Position Clear In
Letter to William Friedman

Former Congressman Clarence
J. McLeod, candidate for a return
to Congress on the Republican
ticket, in the 13th District, this
week declared that he will sup-
port President Roosevelt in his
foreign policies.
Mr. McLeod's statement was
made to William Friedman, prom-
inent Detroit Jewish leader. His
letter to Mr. Friedman reads:
"I am pleased to have had a
talk with you and want to re-
iterate my stand that this is no
time for partisan politics. We are
Americans first. If I should be
returned to Congress this fall, I
shall feel it my duty to support
our Commander-in-Chief on his
foreign policies. Our first con-
sideration is winning the war.
After that job is done there will
be time to think of other things."
A group of prominent Detroit-
ers have organized a committee
to support the candidacy of Con-
gressman McLeod. Among them
are war veterans, manufacturers,
professional men, sales managers
and others. Prominent in the list
are Joseph Jones, Attorney Ar-
thur Fixel, Samuel Zussman and
many others.

A statement was issued by this
committee quoting a resolution
introduced by Congressman Mc-
Leod—the first of its kind—in
the U. S. Congress, on April 6,
1933, calling for protest by our
government against the persecu-
tion of Jews in Germany. This
is referred to as one of the rea-
sons for his return to Congress.

Praises Impartiality
Of Atty.-Gen. Rushton

Administrator by appointment of
Attorney General Herbert J.
Rushton, has issued a statement
urging Mr. Rushton's re-election.
Praising the Michigan Attor-
ney General for his conduct in

ship to all races and creeds, Mr.
Burdick refers to Mr. Rushton as
a liberal Republican whose legal
opinions are marked by impar-
tiality and a sense of justice.

God As Stockbroker
It seems that the first Roths-
child, called Amschel, had a
good Jewish sense of humor. He
lived to the ripe old age of 81.
In his last days, when illness
had knocked him out, the doctor
assured him that he would re-
cover and would live to be a
hundred.
"Don't be silly," chuckled the
founder of the house of Roth-
schild. "If God can get me at 81,
He's not going to take me at
100."

Greater Reich After the War!
Zorach meets Baruch and tells
him the story he has heard of two
Swiss friends who met; one said
to the other:
"What will you do as soon as
the war has ended?"
The other replied: "I intend to
visit the Greater Reich."
The first asked: "But what will
you do in the afternoon?"

stationed somewhere in England,
which you may think to be a
broad statement, but that's all
I'm permitted to say. The place

I mean by inviting us to shul on
