Refers to His Jewishness in Dessenting Opinion In Dpspaiet

Camp Habonim, the Center's

Home Camp, is all set to open
WASHINGTON (JPS)—Striking the first personal note
for its 14th consecutive season
of its kind since he ascended the Supreme Court bench, Mr.
on Tuesday, July 6.

Justice Frankfurter referred to his Jewishness in his dis-

A capable staff of counsellors, senting opinion in the flag salute case, in which the majority,
headed by Miss Kay Pollock, will
led by Justice Jackson, overruled the majority decision

Clara Tannenhaus, who is also
returning to Camp Habonim,
will be in charge of gymnasium
and dancing activities.

JUDGE LOUIS E. LEVINTHAL

teed to the inhabitants of this
country under the Declaration
of Independence and the Consti-
tution of the United States. We
ask for Jews everywhere the
freedom to live as they wish, to
think and worship as they de-
sire, the right to govern them-
selves, in accordance with demo-
cratic procedure, when they be-
come a majority in their ancient
homeland. And we ask of the
world that all artificial political
obstacles to the resettlement in
Palestine be removed. It is loy-
alty of the highest kind to Am-
erican ideals to seek to extend
the Four Freedoms to our own
kinsfolk who today are refugees
on the high seas, and victims of
mankind's worst scourge."

Frances Cohn will serve as as-
sistant head counsellor.
This year's camp program
promises to be interesting, with
the Center's art studio, game
room, photography room, craft
shop and music room as the
center of activities for the eight-
week season. Trips to nearby
points of interest at least once a
week will be included in the
camp program.
Because of wartime conditions
and the Center's inability to
serve a hot lunch, campers will
bring lunches from home. They
will be collected each morning,
and placed in the camp refriger-
ator. All campers will eat to-
gether at tables in the auditor-
ium, and milk will be furnished.
There are still some vacancies
for camp registration, and par-
ents are urged to make plans
immediately. Complete informa-
tion regarding fees and regis-
tration may be obtained by call-
ing the Center, MAdison 8400.

Mass Movement

dren cannot be compelled to salute the American flag if this
practice is in conflict with their religious beliefs. The case
was on an appeal by Jehovah's witnesses to a flag salute
regulation by the West Virginia Board of Education.
Says Religious Beliefs Not Involved
In a separate dissent from the new decision, Justice
Frankfurter observed that "one who belongs to the most
persecuted minority in history is not likely to be insensible
to the freedom guaranteed by our Constitution."
b
He added, however,
that religious beliefs were not in-
volved in West Virginia's regulations requiring a flag salute.
"It is self-delusive to believe that are liberal spirit can be
enforced by judicial invalidation of illiberal legislation."

THE 13LTIL I ERS OF ZION

Simon Shetzer, executive dir-
ector of the Zionist Organization
of Amercia, former Detroit com-
munity leader, joining in the
membership appeal, stated:
"Zionism, as a mass move-
ment, must articulate its object-
ives through a unified instru-
mentality if it is to secure public
recognition for its aims by the
civilized governments and peo-
ples of the world. The achieve-
ments which our movement has
recorded in the past two decades
have been made possible because
these efforts were initiated, given
stimulus and channelized by an
organized body such as the Zion-
ist Organization of America."
Mr. Cohen stated this week
that workers on his membership
committee are redoubling their
efforts to secure the new num-
ber of members set in the cur-
rent drive. Those who have not
been solicited are urged to call
Mr. Cohen, Cadillac 4352, or to
use the membership blank ap-
pearing elsewhere in this issue
of The Jewish News.

The call to American Jewry, made by the great American, Louis
D. Brandeis, 25 years ago, is valid today. Justice Brandeis ad-
monished American Jewry that

"To Be A Zionist Is To Be A Loyal American"

This is a call that strikes at the root of Jewish needs today:

At this time, as we are about to reach the greatest triumph in the
enrollment of American Jews in the Zionist movement, we repeat
this call to the Jews of Detroit.

At this writing, more than 700 new members have already been
enrolled in the Zionist Organization of Detroit.

Our goal is 1,000 new members for the current year.

It is YOUR DUTY as an American and as a Jew to enlist in the
Zionist Organization.

Dr. Berg to Head
World Surgeons

NEW YORK, (JPS)—Dr. A. A.
Berg, famous diagnostic surgeon,
was named president- elect, to
take office in 1945, of the Inter-
national College of Surgeons at
the annual meeting here. Dr.
Berg is associated with Mt. Sinai
Hospital here.
One of the papers presented to
the meeting was written by Dr.
Felix Mandl of the Hadassah-
Hebrew University Hospital in
Jerusalem. He reported that an
extract from tissues of adult ani-
mals has been found effective in
healing serious wounds and sores.
Dr. Mandl's findings are expected
to have important value for mili-
tary surgical purposes.

Justice Frankfurter Hits
Reversal of Flag Decisitn

In its reversal of the Gobitis decision, the Supreme Court,
1941, and during the latter year
by 6 to 3, has now ruled that under the Bill of Rights chil-

Mr. Cooper has received a
statement from Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann, president of the World
Zionist Organization, who ad-
dressed the following appeal to
Detroit Jewry:

"There is a relationship be-
tween American democracy and
Zionism which must not be min-
imized. Zionism is the applica-
tion to Eretz Yisrael and to the
homeless Jewish people in all
corners of the globe, of the
rights and prerogatives guaran-

Jews in the Zionist enrollment :
campaign.

"Zionism has long ceased to
be a movement of the few and
for the few. The war has ac-
centuated its indispensible ne-
cessity as an instrument for the
solution of the Jewish problem.
The Zionist Organization of Am-
erica, the parent body of all
Zionist groups in America,
should and must therefore be
strong in numbers if it is to
serve as a potent instrument for
the realization of the Zionist
program and for the building of
the Jewish National Home."
Can't Be Separated
Judge Louis E. Levinthal,
president of the Zionist Organ-
ization of America, declaring
that "Zionism cannot be separ-
ated from the currents of world
thought which whirl about us
today," addressed the following
appeal to the Jews of Detroit,
