fight on Anti-Semitism

Congressman George D. Sa-
dowski of Michigan (Dem.) is
serving on the Congressional
steering committee which was
selected to aid in the Passage of
national legislation to outlaw
anti-gemitism, it was announced
in New York by Leonard E.
Golditch, secretary of the newly,
formed National Committee .to
Combqt Anti-Semitism.

News received this week of the
death of First Sgt. William Sey-
mour in the Asiatic area came
as a distinct shock to his Detroit
friends. This news was received
from the War Department by his
sisters and brothers — Sadie,
Betty, Rosalind, Samuel, Jules
R., Maurice and Lt. Harvey
Schubot.
'1st Sgt. Seymour, whose death
occurred on Jan. 18, was 35. 'He
had flown more than 300 hours,
delivering food and ammunition
to the Chinese. Three weeks ago
he was reported- missing, but last
week's wire to the family, ad-
dressed to his brother, Jules R.
Schubot, 18624 Wild erner e,
brought the • tragic news of his
death in action.
. A memorial service in tribute
to Sgt. Seymour will be held at
Temple Beth El; preceding the
Sabbath Eve services on Friday,
March 3.
In service two years, Sgt. Sey-
mour was overseas a year. A for-
mer Detroiter—son of the late
Mr. and Mrs. Emil Schubot—he
was a jeweler in California be-
fore entering the Army.

Letter

On Jan. 11 he wrote an inter-
esting letter to his family in
which he staltd:
"All my boys are now able to
wear- wings as they have com-
pleted over 50 hours combat fly-
ing. It is funny that they come
over here as truck drivers and
finish up wearing wings in the
Air Corps."
Of particular interest is the
letter he wrote on Dec. 23, 1943,
in which he said: -
"Our work has really been
very important and we have been
cited for a great many honors;
however it has cost us quite a
bit. After all we came here to
fight a war and wars cannot be
won unless losses are expected.
The morale of the boys in face
of this has been wonderful and
no matter what happens they are
more than anxious to keep going
and do the job.
