Continue to Buy War Bonds
By CLARENCE H. ENGGASS
For a hundred and fifty years bur Constitution has been the safeguard of
the American people, guaranteeing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The time is here when we Americans must pay to keep those sacred rights. One
of the means by which we have contributed to the forces
which are fighting to maintain those rights is by the purchase
of War Bonds. •
The shells for our artillery, the bombs for our planes,
the torpedos for our P. T. boats must be paid for either
through taxes or through voluntary investment in 'Govern-
ment securities. The more we invest, the less will have to be
raised through taxes.
There are other good reasons why one should continue
to buy War Bonds. Income invested in War Bonds, instead
of being used for the comparatively few civilian goods and
C. IL ENGGASS
services that will still be available to us, will do much to
combat the trend toward higher prices. We must all do our part to help keep
the cost of living within bounds. Then, too, the more we save now, the more
we'll have after the war.
Up to now we can all take pride in our country's record for war savings.
But we have oily just begun to fight. The months ahead will be critical ones,
and we must continue to save for our country in ever increasing amounts. This
is one way we can show our gratitude to the men now fighting for the free-
doms that will mean so much to all. The price we are willing to pay to defeat
a power hostile to all sacred rights of civilization cannot be too great.
Much misunderstanding exists concerning the 20% withholding tax,
which becomes effective on July 1st. In the first place, the amount deducted is
not 20% of your salary or wages, but a deduction on the amount that you
receive after the specified exemptions have been credited to you. In the second
place, it is not an additional tax, but is simply a means provided by your
government as an easy way to save for the amount of taxes that you will owe
for this year. So please understand this, and do not in any way reduct the
amounts which you have been saving regularly for the purchase of War Bonds.

Declaration of a state of emergency in Wayne, Macomb
and Oakland Counties by Gov. Harry F. Kelly has compelled
cancellation of all assemblies, including the annual election
meetings of the Jewish Community Council and the United
Hebrew Schools of Detroit.
The election meeting of the Jewish Community Council
which was to have taken place Tuesday evening, was post-
poned to Tuesday evening, July 6, at the Jewish Community
Council.
Election of officers of the United Hebrew Schools, which
was to have taken place on Thursday evening, has been post-
poned to Tuesday, June 29.
Installation of officers of Pisgah Lodge of Bnai Brith,
which was scheduled for last Monday evening, at Temple
Beth El, was postponed to the coming Monday evening, pro-
vided the curfew is lifted.
Numerous other meetings were cancelled, and many or-
ganizational and private celebrations were called off.
While the state of emergency, which is tantamount -to
martial law, is believed to have ended the race riots, the
cancellation of all public meetings and' assemblies and the
establishment of curfews is expected to last for a week.
The outrageous riots have caused havoc in many quart-
ers, and the destruction of property may run into the
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Hundreds of Jewish merchants literally were ruined as
a result of the riots. Stores in the entire Hastings St., Oak-
land and Westminster Ayes. and adjacent streets were de-
stroyed, their windows smashed, goods looted.
A meeting of Jewish merchants who suffered from the
rioting and looting will be held at the Beth Yehudah Syna-
gogue, Pingree and Woodrow Wilson, at 10 a. m. Sunday:
An inter-racial commission formed for the purpose of
coping with the problems of racial understanding in Detroit,
has been called together by the Detroit Council of Churches
of which the Rev. Benjamin Jay Bush is president and
Thoburn T. Brumbaugh, executive secretary.
Among those who have agreed to serve on this com-
mission are Rabbi Morris Adler, Fred M. Butzel, Dr. Leo M.
Franklin and Dr. B. Benedict Glazer.
Demands are coming from all quarter that a Federal
investigation be ordered and that those who were responsible
for the bloodshed, rioting, murders and lootings should be
held to full accountability.
