Will Provide for Emergencies
Generous Jewish Response Helps Achieve Success of Great

Metropolitan Detroit's War Chest this week was as-
sured complete success in the. drive for $5,800,000. Con-
sequently, all the agencies, including the Jewish needs
represented by the Allied Jewish Campaign, will be fully
provided for. .
As this issue of The Jewish News was going to press,
Isidore Sobeloff, executive di-
rector of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration and the Allied Jewish
Campaign, issued the encourag-
ing news that sufficient pledges
tory dinner on Thursday night to
would be announced at the vic-
exceed the original objective in
the drive.
Palestine is Backbone
Word of the success of the War
Chest came simultaneously with
the information from the Second
Front in Africa and from Pales-
tine, that warriors who are serv-
ing in the Jewish batallions with
the British army, members of the
Palestine Auxiliary Territorial
Service (PATS), the women's
military units, and Jews engaged
in more than 1,300 industrial
plants for the manufacture of
war needs, are the backbone of
the new battlefields in French
Africa and the Middle and Near
East areas in the war.
Success of the War Chest as-
sures the continuance of the ef-
forts in which Jewish pioneers
are engaged in Palestine today.
The United Palestine Appeal, one
of the constituent agencies of the
United Jewish Appeal, will re-
ceive its full share of support
from Detroit Jews through the
united fund-raising agency in this
city.
Must Continue Effort
Leaders in the War Chest drive
have emphasized, however, that
workers must not discontinue
their efforts to reach their pros-
pects, since thousands of Detroit-
ers are yet to be solicited. Com-
plete coverage, it was indicated,
will bring the total in the cam-
paign to a sum far in excess of
the original goal and will assure
support of many emergency
needs during the war.
Jewish organizations were es-
pecially generous in their contri-
butions to the drive. The entire
set-up of the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign gave proof of its strength
in the execellent response that
came from men, women and chil-
dren. — _
The news that victims of Hit-
lerism will be cared for in full
measure by Jewish gifts, that
Palestine, as one of the arsenals
of the democracies, will be pro-
tected, and that all the local
agencies will be guaranteed funds
for all their needs, brought a
thrill of satisfaction to the lead-
ers of the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign.
Present Radio Program
. Local organizations, meeting in
conferences during the drive, con-
cluded their efforts at a gather-
ing at the Rose Sittig Cohen Bldg.
Wednesday evening. Organiza-
tions that have not yet contri-
buted are expected to send their
donations in the coming few days.
Important messages to Detroit
Jews in behalf of the War Chest
were broadcast last Saturday eve-
ning over the facilities of Hyman
Altman's Jewish Radio Hour on
Station WJLB. James I. Ellmann
was chairman of the program.
Speakers included Rabbi Leon
Fram, Philip Slomovitz and Abra-
ham J. Lachover. Cantor Robert
Tulman of Temple Israel, sang
several solos, accompanied by

USO Expands• Activities
"This afternoon, Detroit was •
privileged to witness the open- .
ing of ' the new USO Center in
the old Legion Bldg. at Lafayette
and Cass. Mr. Henry Meyers, as
president of USO of Metropolitan
Detroit, did us honor, in the im-
portant position he holds, to have
had the opportunity of officiat-
ing at such important ceremonies.
Our good friend Mr. George F.
Pierrot, director of the USO' in
Detroit, had good • reason to be
proud of the new home.
"I now turn to the home front,
