By Danny Raskin

SEVEN YEARS AGO, Gerald
Freedman left his parents and
a 12-year-old brother in London,
England, and came to America
to stay with his uncle, Barrish
Freedman, the Hamtramck furni-
ture man. . . . After graduating
from the University of Detroit,
he became a dentist and entered
the U. S. Army as a first lieu-
tenant. . . Then came a trek
from camp to camp, a promotion
to captain and his • overseas or-
ders. . . . Enroute via the trans-
port, one guess was as good as
another as to their destination
and when they did -land, it was
still a mystery. . . . However,
the darkness of night and a dense
fog which completely covered,
-the waterfront could not dispell
the faint air of familiarity. . . .
An exciting glitter came to Ger-
ald's eyes and- his heart began
to pound in relentless fury. . . .
Who could mistake it!• . . This
was London-home! . . . His re-•
turn was, of course, unexpected,
and his mother and father, their
eyes filled with tears of joy, were
given t h. e greatest surprise of
their lives. . . . As they stood
there, a tall handsome English
Tommy came in and Gerald re-
turned his salute. . .. Then the
father said, "Boys, I want you
both. to meet each other. You're
M. different armies but fighting
on the same side and for t h e
same cause. What's more-you're
both brothers!"
* * *
WAR WORKERS GROUP at
the- Jewish Center were to meet
for a scrap collection, recently,
and all were asked to come in
their oldest clothes. . . . But, the
scrap collection didn't material-
ize. - . . They had a big. party
and worked up their appetites
by dancing. . . . Seems that al-
Most everyone had mistaken the
instructions and came wearing
the _best 'Sunday clothes.
* * *
HOLIDAY HOP number five
at the Jewish Center will be held
this Sunday nite, in the form
of a Washington-Lincoln celebra
, tion. . . By popular request, the
Social- Committee h a s obtained
Leroy 'Smith . and his colored
Victorrecording artists to furnish
the rhythms again. . . • Morrie
Gyuskiii,_ barrister, is h a v.i n g
great . success with his rejuvenat-
ed - Main Street nitery. . . . The
ork boasts one of the city's finest
pianists in Hy Goldman and
Dave Feinstein is a terrific drum-
nier-)aoy.

Born in Bilgoroi, Rusdian-
Poland, the son of a rabbi, his
first book in 1921, a collection
of short stories, titled - "Pearls,"
for the first story in the volume,
appeared in Warsaw. The book
came to the attention of Abra-
ham Cahan, editor of the Jewish
Daily Forward of New York,
who sought out the young au-
thor who, at that time, disap-
pointed with the state of the
Yiddish writer, had decided to
forsake his vocation. Mr. Cahan
engaged him as a correspondent
and also encouraged him in con-
tinuing creative work as a fic-
tion writer. In 1934 Singer came
to U. S. and became a member
of the Forward's editorial staff.

Arabs, cited figures showing that
the Arab population has doubled
since the last war and that no
other Arab country can show a
comparable increase. Mr. Rosen-
wald, Dr. Silver said, "is back
in 1917 with that group of people
who - opposed the Balfour Decla-
ration." On protest from Mr.
Rosenwald, this comment was
.stricken from the record.
Dr. Goldstein, presic?ent of the
Zionist Organization of America,
pointed out that the Rabbinate
opposed the viewpoint of Rosen-
wald and Rabbi Wolsey.
The Jews are a historical peo-
ple- who have lost the physical
basis of nationality, but h a v
continued their identity," Dr.
Goldstein said.
Dr. James G. Heller, president
of the United Palestine Appeal
and former.preSident of the Cen-
tral Conference of American
Rabbis, stated that the opposition
to a Jewish Commonwealth con-
stitutes only an infinitesimal per
cent of the Jews in America. He
pointed out that at the American
Jewish Conference, attended by
delegates representing over 90
per cent of American Jewry, a
resolution favoring a Jewish
Commonwealth passed by a vote
of 400 to 4.
Representative Sol B 1 o o m,
chairman of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, stated after.
Mr. Rosenwald's testimony that
the many. telegrams and letters
coming to the Committee show
that sentiment among Jews and
non-Jews favors ,passage of the
resolution.

dressed to Reuben Guskin, chair-
man of t h e United Hebrew
Trades, which represents t h e
Jewish labor unions, declared
that everything possible will be
done to save Jews from occupied
Europe.
"I am very grateful for the
interest of your organization in
my new program to help the
perseeuted minorities in EurOpe,"
President Roosevelt wrote. "I -as-
sure you that we shall do every-
' thing in . our power to see- to it
that constructive action be taken
to carry out the policies of our
government to rescue the victims
whose life is in danger tinder the
persecution of the enemy."
