NEW YORK-In an interview
with the editor of The Detroit
Jewish News, Rabbi Ferdinand
M. Isserman of St. Louis, who
returned Saturday from a spec-

D.R.

F. M. ISSERMAN

ial mission for the American
Red Cross in North Africa and
the Middle-- EaSt, stated that Am-
erican . trooPs in 'Palestine _are
impressed with Jewish achieve-
ments in Eretz Israel.

. Dr. Isserman said that the
Americans are elated to find a
highly cultural center in Tel
Aviv. He pointed out that serv-
icemen who are unable to get
furloughs in Palestine are dis-
appointed. Those who secure
such furloughs visit Tel Aviv,
Jerusalem and the Jewish col-
onies.

These visits, Rabbi Isserman
stated, establish a spirit of good
will. He expressed the view that
the friendship between Jews and
non-Jews in the United States
will be strengthened as a result
of the experiences of American
soldiers in Jewish settlements in
Palestine.

Herbert L. Raskin
Now 1st Lieutenant

Returning for duty after
spending a 15-day furlough at
home, 2nd Lt. Herbert L. Raskin,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Moe Raskin
of Tyler Ave.,
discovered a pro-
motion to First

NEW YORK (Religious News
Service)-Sixty leaders of the
Roman Catholic, Protestant and
Jewish faiths are among the
signers of a statement appealing
to the nation to create an atmos-
phere in which no future race
riots can occur.
The appeal, directed to the
President, to federal:, state, and
local governments and to the
American people generally, was
released here by Dr. William
Allan Neilson, president-emeritus
of Smith College and a member
of the board of directors of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People.
The statement was signed by 138
eminent Americans.
Declaring that "every Ameri-
can who loves our nation and
respects the principles upon
which it was founded must have
been shocked and dismayed by
the recent race riot in Detroit,"
the appeal said:
"The Detroit riot embodied
many of the practices which have
been associated with Nazi Ger-
many and her partner, the Jap-
anese Empire. Here race was
pitted against race. Bloodshed
and destruction ruled one of our
.great cities for days. Hatred held
sway. Not until Federal troops
were brought in was order re-
stored.
"We know that decent Ameri-
cans abhor riots. We believe that
our country, engaged in. a war
to uphold decency and humanity
and democracy throughout the
world, does not intend that these
things shall be denied any Amer-
ican, Negro or white.
"We call, therefore, upon our
President and our Governments,
Federal, State and local, to use
all wisdom to prevent a repeti-
tion of . the horrorsi of Detroit
elsewhere in our country. We
call upon our people of every
race, color, station and section
to use all foresight in creating
the atmosphere in which no bat-
tles between our people can
occur."
Among those who signed the
appeal were Rabbi Milton Stein-
berg, New York City; Rabbi Ab-
ba Hillel Silver, Cleveland; and
Dr. Stephen S. Wise, New York
City.

Melvin Moss, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Sidney Moss of 18281 Penn-
ington Drive, received his com-
mission from the Adjutant Gen-
eral's School, Fort Washington,
Maryland.
