Jewish Youth's
LISTENING
0
By Danny Raskin
WHOEVER HAD the misfor-
tune of not attending the confer-
ence of the League of Detroit
Jewish Youth last week, missed
one of the finest youth rallies
presented in a long while .. . It
was one to make every member
of the League proud of a great
achievement . . . Every panel of
discussion had large participat-
ing audiences and was carried
out in admirable fashion.
* * *
THE MANY resolutions passed
upon were vital to the good and
welfare of both young and old
... Emphasis was strongly
placed upon better inter-racial
relationship and minority group
benefit . . Postwar problems
were discussed and panel reso-
lutions for solving them met
with enthusiastic approval.
* * *
AT THE evaluation meeting,
Martha Gleicher, co-chairman
with Lou Rosen, hit a high spot
of the conference with a mag-
nificent speech from ad-lib
which brought a thunder of ap-
plause from all present . . . Our
heartiest congratulations to Mar-
tha, Lou, Bertha Belkin and ev-
eryone who worked on the con-
ference for a great job.
* * *
HERE 'N THERE . . . The
A.Z.A. dance held annually at
Eastwood Park is set for May
14 with Mike Falk's rhythms
. . . Bill Ross ('twas Rosenberg)
was inducted recently and is
stationed in Texas . . . He is the
former editor-in-chief of the
Wayne Collegian . . . The gals
of Junior Hadassah proved their
weight in gold as cooks for the
League's dinner . . . As wait-
resses, they were actually cour-
teous!
* * *
IN TRAINING at Keesler
Field, Miss., Pvt. Jay Goldberger
was released from the hospital
after spending two weeks for a
break-out on the back of his
neck . . . Asking him what pre-
cautions should be taken to pre-
vent any recurrences, the doc-
tor advised him to stay away
from army food . . . And Jay
doesn't know whether the medic
was only kidding or actually
meant it! . . . Phil Brestoff and
his fine music will play for the
Club Caliphs dance at the Book-
Cadillac, April 28, and Bill Gail
is scheduled for the eighth and
last Holiday Hop of the current
series at the Jewish Center, May
21 .. The Center's Club Pa-
triots are holding theirs April 29.
CONDOLENCES . . . To the
wife and two sons of Bill Chat-
man, vice-president of Louis
Marshall Lodge, who passed
away last Sunday.

THE JEWISH NEWS
JEW Views Heroism of Jews
In 'Fighting for America'
Page Ninefeee
Name Levy Director
of UAHC-HUC Drive
Jewish Participation in War, From Pearl Harbor to Italian
Campaign, Dramatically Told in New Book; Number
in Service Found Above U. S. Population Average
Announcement is made of the
unveiling of the tombstone ever
the grave of the late Samuel
Kramer of Lansing at 2 p. m.
Sunday, April 30, at Bnai David
Cemetery on Van Dyke Aye,
Rabbi J. Eisenman and Cantor
J. H. Sonenklar will officiate,
Relatives and friends are invited •
to attend the service.
Authentic facts on Jewish participation in the war, as
complete as it is possible to issue at this time, are available
in book form, "Fighting For America," an account of Jewish
men in the armed forces from Pearl Harbor to the Italian
campaign, published this week by the National Jewish
Welfare Board.
Answering the "whispered
and the outspoken statement
based on so-called 'facts,' circu-
lated to create schisms among
us," the hook reveals incontro-
vertibly that Americans of Jew-
ish faith are not only fully rep-
resented in this war but that
"thousands have performed great
and heroic deeds for American
victory.".
"Fighting For America" con-
tains a revealing chapter on sta-
tistics and surveys, reports on
percentages of refugees in serv-
ice, discusses the distribution of
Jews in various branches of the
armed services, including a sec-
tion on the medical corps.
Stories of Heroism
Another section of the book is
devoted to 10 first-hand accounts
of battle action by topflight
heroes of Jewish faith, among
them Sgt. Barney Ross, Lt. Mor-
ton Sher, Lt. Cmdr. Samuel Is-
quith and Capt. Harry Schreiber.
The last pages of "Fighting
For America" are devoted to an
impressive listing of some 2,500
American heroes of Jewish faith.
hundreds of whom have been
killed in action, others wounded.
and other awarded medals and
citations for valor under fire
"above and beyond the call of
duty." Accompanying the name
of each hero is a notation of his
exploits.
"Fighting For America" offers
statistical proof that, in all com-
munities surveyed thus far, the
Jewish community has contri-
buted to the armed forces as
many sons, in proportion to their
numbers in each community, as
the general Population.
Over All Percentage
- The over-p 1 1 Percentage of the
national pop' • on now in uni-
form is approximately seven and
a half percent.
In the section dealing with ref-
ugees who have come to this
country from Central Europe,
"Fighting For America" discloses
that, of 1,103 refugees who have
settled in 17 representative cities
in the East, Mid-west and South,
"10 percent have entered the
armed services. Men between 18
and 45 numbered 319, of whom
109 were in service, or 34 per
cent of the entire Jewish male
refugee population in these cities.
This percentage is the same as
that for all American males in
the 18-45 age category in serv-
ice."
The chapter covering the dis-
tribution of Jewish men in the
various branches of the army in-
cludes the results of a test survey
conducted in Pittsburgh, Pa.,
showing that 25.2 per cent of the
inductees surveyed were in the
Air Forces; 9.5 per cent, in the
Medical Corps; 9.4 per cent in the
Infantry; 7.4 per cent in the
Field Artillery; 7.3 per cent in
the Quartermaster Corps; 5.5 per
cent in the Coast Artillery and
5.4 per cent in the Engineers; 4.8
per cent in the Signal Corps and
3.3 per cent in the Armored
Forces, while only 0.7 per cent
were in Army Administration
and 1.2 per cent in Army
Finance.
1 of 4 in Air Force
The remaining 20.3 per cent
were distributed through the
other branches of the army, in-
cluding Cavalry, Chaplain s'
Corps, Chemical Warfare, Mili-
tary Police and Paratroopers.
One out of every four, in other
words, was found to be serving
with the Air Forces, popularly
regarded as the most dangerous
of the services.

the medical branches of the arm-
ed forces, "Fighting For Amer-
ica" reports that in a survey
covering aproximately one fourth
of America's physicians of Jew-
ish faith, 32 per cent were found
to be in the armed forces. The
survey covered Brooklyn and the
Bronx. The percentage of doctors
of other faiths in these boroughs
serving with the armed forces is
27.5. The report also includes ac-
counts of 14, doctors of Jewish
faith, of whom several are cas-
ualties, who have performed
unusual feats of bravery and sac-
rifice in the line of duty.
Many Casualties
In the final section of "Fight-
ing For America" are the names
of thousands of Jewish fighters,
many wounded, many killed in
action, the rest "brave men who,
without heroics, fought in this
war above and beyond the call
of duty" to earn • Distinguished
Flying Crosses, Air Medals, Sil-
ver Stars, Distinguished Service
Crosses, Navy Crosses, Purple
Hearts and Oak Leaf Clusters.
Brief accounts of individual ex-
ploits accompany each name on
the roll of honor.
In addition to the names listed
in "Fighting For America," the
Board's Bureau of War Records
has in its files the names of hun-
dreds who have received Soldier
Medals and citations for heroism
under non-combatant conditions.
The "Honors and Awards" list-
ing will be brought up to date
from time to time and, according
to the Jewish Welfare Board, "at
the conclusion of the war an
over-all, inclusive presentation of
this dramatic story will be made
available."
