Local War Chest Leaders
Mrs. Samuel G-logower, Srere and Wineman are Members

of Pledges in 1943 Highly Successful
Frank D. Eaman was re-elected president of the War
Chest of Metropolitan Detroit at the luncheon meeting held

Mrs. Samuel R. Glogower,
Abraham Srere and Henry Wine-

Robert H. MacRae, managing
director of the War Chest, re-
porting on the financial status
of the fund,
pointed out
that • the collec-
tion of pledges

ministration has

Campaign Cost Low
Mr. MacRae stated:
"It had been estimated that
shrinkages would reach 5 per
'rent of the amount pledged, but
on June 15 only 3.14 per cent of
the 1943 pledged amount was
still outstanding. The cost of
the campaign of last year, and
administrative expense, for 12
months is only 3.45 per cent of
i the total pledged. •
Our campaign goal in 1943
' was $8,250,000. There was
pledged , a total amount of
48,427,595. The 1944 quota has
not yet been determined."
In his report, Mr. Eaman made
the following significant state-
ment:
"The people of this commu-
nity have been participants in a
great adventure in human friend-
liness. The USO—to mention
some of the highlights—with
3,030 service units in the nation
has had an estimated to 30,000,-
L 000 visits each month from the
fighting members of our forces.
American Generosity
"American generosity plays its
part in ministering to .the over-
whelming burden of human mis-
ery in prison camps, and to the
40,000,000 victims of total war.
"At home we have continued
to shoulder the responsibility of
maintaining our essential serv-
ices to old age, to family life and
to restless youth. Here in De-
troit we have not neglected the
more than 80,000 youngsters who
find wholesome and creative
recreation in our youth-serving
agencies, nor the 4,000 children
for whom we act as parents be-
cause their own homes are
broken."
"We may not expect easy go-
ing in the campaign this fall,"
Mr. Eaman said. "Already, the
shadow of cutbacks on war con-
tracts, and the uncertainty as to
the volume of employment in
1945. are having their effect
among workers and management
with respect to support of the
War Chest."

Slovakia Seized All
Jewish Wages in '43
ZURICH, (JTA) -- Jewish
forced laborers in Slovakia earn-
ed 48,000,000 crowns (nominally
$1,632,000) during 1943, all of
which was retained by the gov-
ernment, according to Anton
Vasek, a leader of the Hlinka
Guard, Slovakian storm-troop
organization, quoted in Slovakian
newspapers received here.
Vasek said that part of the
money earned by the Jews went
for maintenance of the camps in
which the Jews are confined,
while the balance "went to the
State for additional investments."
Before the war there were
90,000 Jews in Slovakia. There
remains less than 20 per cent.
The Bucharest radio has an-
nounced that all Jews in Roma-
nia between the ages of 16 and
17, as well as those between 51
and 55, have been ordered to en-
list in units doing rescue work
during Allied air raids on Ro-
manian cities.

Argentine Catholics
Told Not to Incite
Against the Jews
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay,
(JTA) — Anti-Semitism in the
public schools in Argentina,
which culminated in the segrega-
tion of Jewish children on sep-
arate benches as a result of the
government decree making the
teaching of the Catholic religion
compulsory, this week brought a
sharp warning to school teachers
in Buenos Aires to abstain from
inciting Catholic children against
Jewish.
The warning, published by the
Buenos Aires Catholic daily
newspaper El Pueblo, is believed
to be inspired by church authori-
ties who are said to fear public .

olic spirit now prevailing in the
Argentine school system follow-

sory teaching of Catholicism.
Thousar is of copies of this warn-
ing are u. ing reprinted from the
newspaper for distribution among
school teachers.
Pointing out that \" history
knows of despots who tried to
impose "unity of faith" upon
others, the article says: "To pur-
sue such unity today in Argen-
tina would be impossible, since
we opened our doors during the
last century to people of all races
and religions. It is necessary that
all officials in our school system
realize this. Intolerance in po-
litical life and lack of under-
standing in religious life are the
major enemies of the patriotic
motives which underly- our -pres-
