funds for the remodeling of its
building, at Linwood and Elm-
hurst. It is planned to install
dormitories, class rooms, a li-
brary, dining rooms, kitchen—in
short, everything necessary. for a
modern institution. Funds also
are being sought for the Main-
tenance of the institution's pro-
gram and plant.
The original yeshivah, founded
in Lublin by the great Jewish
leader, the late Rabbi Meyer
Shapiro, has been transplanted
to Detroit under the leadership
of Rabbi Moshe Rotenberg, with
the financial aid of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Bookstein.
"It must be understood," de-
Clared Rabbi Rotenberg, "that
our solicitors represent every jew
in this city. Every Detroit Jew
should feel that our institution is
the project of the community at
large.
"In this way we will be doing
our share in this war toward ulti-
mate victory, by building strong
Jewish characters and future
Jewish leaders. At the same time
we shall reach the goal which we
all are so desperately striving to
attain, together with all the free-
dom loving peoples of the world."

A large number of Detroit
Jews participated in the recep-
tion held for the Polish Premier
and commander-in-chief, Gen.
Wladislaw Sikorski, on Sunday,
at the Masonic Temple. Among
the groups to greet him was a
special delegation representing
the Federation for Polish Jews,
including Rabbi Joshua Sperka,
honorary president; Isidore Mel-
lin, president; Morris Mohr,
treasurer; Harry Weinberg, sec-
retary; Benjamin Graubart, exe-
cutive director.
Gen. Sikorski pledged a peace-
ful Poland in the future, apply-
ing the principles of democracy
to her domestic and foreign
policies.
Jan Ciechanowski, Polish am-
bassador, read a message received
from the women of Poland, sent
via Poland's underground postal
system. It read in part: "What is
happening today in Poland de-
fies description and surpasses the
imagination. Tens of thousands of
innocent people are daily being
murdered by the Nazis. Men,
women and children are being
caught in the streets, thrown into
closed cars and carried off to gas
chambers for mass execution.
The Germans call this the 'liquid-
ation of the Jewish element' "
At the premier's request, the
audience rose and maintained a
minute of silence in honor of the
victims of Hitler's barbarism.
Benjamin Graubart, greeting
Premier Sikorski, emphasized
that the Jews, more than any
other people, have constantly de-
fended their right to live inde-
pendently and to develop their
own national culture and person-
ality, even as European minor-
ities are now dedicated towards
maintaining that same right.
On Friday Polish authorities
granted representatives of the
Federation for Polish Jews a spe-
cial interview and discussed with
them subjects affecting Jews,
particularly the possibilities of
providing refugees with food and
clothing.

WASHINGTON — Louis D.
Brandeis, former Associate Jus-
tice of the Supreme Court, was
lauded Monday in the forum
where he sat for so many years.
Chief Justice Stone, Attorney
General Biddle and Senator Nor-
ris were among those who spoke
in memory of "a great Ameri-
can."
"We think of him as a great
American," Chief Justice Stone
said, "because of his abiding
faith in the principles of liberty,
justice and equality of opportun-
ity which were proclaimed by,
those characteristically American
documents, the first Virginia Bill
of Rights, the Declaration of In-
dependence and the Constitu-
tion."
