Rabbis Ask Probe
Of Detroit Riots

NEW YORK (By Religious. News Service)—A
plea to "men of good will," both white and Negro,
to uncover the evils and injustices which led to the
Detroit- race riots, was voiced iTere' in a resolution
Unanimously adbpted by the 54th annual convention
of the Central. Conference of American Rabbis.

Demanding that "all . thcise guilty of this horri-
ble crime be brought to justice and that the forces
of our government be called upon to ferret out
those organized groups or individuals who have
been responsible for inciting these race riots," the
I resolution added:

"The spirit of Hitlerism has achieved a triumph
on American soil, and in this tragic outbreak has
scored a victory against the forces of democracy.

"Justice to the Negro, who has been the chief
victim of these uri:American riots, is as indispensa-
ble to winning the war against Fascism and tyranny
as are planes, tanks and guns. Without the protec-
tion or the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness to our fellow-citizens of every race, creed,
and color, our victories on the battle-fields will
prove to be hollow shells of substance.

"In the name of all that is dear to the hearts of
all of our people, we call upon all Americans to
eschew all racial violence and hate, and to unite in
the defense of our common heritage of good will,
equality, and freedom for all."

Mots in Sermons

NEW YORK—Basing last week's sermons on 'the D
troit race riots, leading .New York rabbis' said:
"No single act of domestic policy will so redound to
the moral credit of the United States abroad, especially
the Axis, as the righting of the wrongs which we have
perpetrated upon our Negro fellow-citizen•." — Rabbi
Israel Goldstein, Temple Bnai Jeshurun. •

"While our boys are fighting this kind of evil abroad
we I, h o are civilians at home must overcome this adver-
sary within our own backyards." — .Rabbi Hyman J.
Schachtel, West End Synagogue.

"The lawlessness that is so rampant in certain sections
of this country 'must be regarded as the germs of a dis-
ease that seeks to destroy the fruits and blessings of our
great government.--Rabbi Joseph Zeitlin, Temple Ansche•
Chesed.

"There are too Many New Yorkers who fail to see that
what has been happening in Beaumont, Tex., in Los
Angeles and in Detroit is part of some national disturb-
ance which is being fomented for their own particular
interests by certain subVersive groups." — Rabbi William

F. Rosenblum, Temple Israel.

"What true American would not rejoice to see fulfillment of Brandeis' vision
that men of his stock should resurrect the life and culture of the people of the Bible
in that little land where our faith was founded?" declared SUPREME COURT JUS-
TICE ROBERT H. JACKSON before 1,800 union leaders, representatives of trade
associations and figures prominent in American Zionism, meeting in New York to
celebrate another milestone of 'progress in the realization of the plan for a Louis D.
Brandeis agricultural settlement in Palestine. Left to right: LOUIS SEGAL, secre-
tary of the Jewish National Workers' Alliance and chairman of the Jewish National
Fund's department on contact with labor organizations; ISIDORE NAGLER, toast-
master of the evening; Justice Jackson, and DR. ISRAEL GOLDSTEIN, president of
