Council to Discuss
Program of Unity
At Meeting Jan. 24

Reports To Be Given on Dis-
cussions At General As-
sembly In Cleveland

The Jewish Community Coun-
cil will hold an open meeting
Sunday, Jan. 24, at 8:30 p. m. in
the auditorium of the Jewish
Center, Woodward at Holbrook.
The discussion will center
around the new proposal for
unity among the American Jew-
ish Commit t e e, American
Jewish Congress, Bnai Brith,
Anti-Defamation League and the
Jewish Labor Committee, the na-
tional civic-protective agencies.
This proposal has been prepared
by a committee of the Council
of Jewish Federations and Wel-
fare Funds, and will be discussed
at a special session of the Gen-
eral Assembly in Cleveland this
week-end.
Reports of the Cleveland dis-
cussion will be given at the Jan.
24 meeting by Detroit leaders
who are attending the Cleveland
Assembly. The attempts to bring
about unity among the national
agencies will be outlined.
A report will also be given on
the proposed expansion of the
Community Council's program,
and or. the request for an en-
larged budget and staff

on the war-time experience of
Jewish social welfare groups in
1942 and will formulate policies
which will guide the Council's
230 member agencies in 195 cities
in mobilizing their resources to
further America's war effort.
In the interests of war-time
economy, the 1943 Assembly will
be stripped of all non-essential
activities and all meetings will
be business sessions with atten-
dance limited to delegates offi-
cially named by local communi-
ties and the representatives of
national agencies.
James Marshall of New York,
chairman of the Assembly Pro-
gram Committee, in announcing
final arrangements for the con-
ference, expressed the belief that
the 1943 Assembly would be the
most vital in the ten-year history
of the Council.
Will Clarify War Chests
Mr. Marshall voted the hope
that the 1943 Assembly would
clarify such dominant war-time
issues as the spreading war chest
movement, the effects of the new
tax program on private philan-
thropic campaigns, and expansion
of local functional services to
cope with increased demands on
the home front, and other prob-
lems now confronting Jewish
communities.
One of the highlights of the
Jewish welfare conclave will be
the address on Sunday night of
Charles P. Taft, assistant direc-
tof of the Office of Defense
Health and Welfare Services.
Another highlight of the As-
sembly will be a report on Sun-
day afternoon by the Committee
on Civic-Protective Organizations,
which has been negotiating with
the major Jewish defense agen-
cies in the United States, with
a view toward establishing a
single centralized body for the
direction of Jewish defense work.
Sidney Hollander, president of
the Council, said that a complete
report would be made to the
membership at the Assembly.
Meetings of National Agencies
The fund-raising prospects of
Jewish campaigns for local, na-
tional and overseas needs will be
analyzed and discussed from the
point of view of both Jewish
communities which have affiliated
with local war chests and corn-
munities which will conduct sep-
arate fund-raising campaigns.
Monday will be crowded with
meetings of the major national
and overseas agencies supported
by Jewish welfare funds. A dis-
cussion of the overseas and refu-
gee programs will be held in the
morning, and will be followed by
a meeting on the place of Jewish
education in the war-time plan-
ning oi: the Jewish community.
The afternoon and evening ses-
sions will be devoted to a review
of the Army and Navy work of
the Jewish Welfare Board, and
to an analysis of post-war prob-
lems which will be led by the
research institutes of the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee and
American Jewish Congress.

DR. LEON KUBOWITZHI
will include the eminent Euro-
pean Zionist leader, Dr. Leon
Kubowitzki, and Rabbi Leon
Feuer of Toledo, author of "Why
a Jewish State."
Dr. Kubowitzki is one of the
outstanding leaders of Belgian
Jewry to be rescued from the
clutches of the Nazis after the
invasion of the Low Lands. A
prominent lawyer in Brussels, he
was president of the Council of
Jewish Associations. He was a
recognized leader of the Belgian
Poale Zion and of the Belgian
Labor Party. During his activi-
ties in labor circles, he was
closely associated with the late

Judge Charles Solomon of the Municipal Court of
New York, popularly known as the Court of the Common
People, one of the most popular jurists among the under-
privileged of New York, will address a mass meeting in
Detroit this Sunday evening, Jan. 17, at the Workmen's
Circle Educational Center, under the auspices of the De-
troit branch of the Jewish Labor

Committee

the local branch of the Jewish
Labor Committee, will present a

Emil Vandervelde and Camille
Huysman who is now safe in
London.
Dr. Kubowitzki has attended
many Zionist Congresses, and is
a member of the Zionist Actions
Committee. At present he is on
the research staff of the Insti-
tute of Jewish Affairs in New
York, and is active as a member
of the Executive of the World
Jewish Congress. He has written
several important books on Jew-
ish problems.

meeting is to acquaint Detroit
Jews with the activities of the
Jewish Labor Committee in this
country and abroad, in neutral as
well as in Nazi-held countries,
and particularly in the under-
ground movement which has be-
come a nightmare for Hitler and
his cohorts. The Jewish Labor
Committee was the first agency
to recognize the importance of
extending aid to Jewish refugees
in Soviet Russia, and when the
Russian War Relief was organiz-
ed it entered into an agreement
with that organization to send
medical supplies and surgical
equipment as well as food sup-..
plies to the sufferers.
More than 1,200 writers, labor
leaders and anti-Fascists have
been rescued from the Nazis by
the Jewish Labor Committee and
have been provided a haven in
this country. Operating only in
fields to which other agencies do
not have access, the Jewish Labor
Committee has rendered other
valuable services. It helped form
the Labor League for Human
Rights in the ranks of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the
Committee for Industrial Organ-
ization, to carry on efforts in
labor ranks to counteract anti-
Semitic and Fascists agitation.
