passed unanimously by the ex-
ecutive committee
In passing this resolution the
delegates authorized the execU-
tive committee to implement the
decision with practical measures
which may be necessary, such
as sending a delegation to Wash-
ington to appear at Congression-
al hearings on this matter. Or-
ganizations were called upon to
ask their Congressmen to support
the measure in Congress.
The delegates also went on
record in support of the Lynch
Bill, H. R. 2328, which would
make it unlawful to use the
mails for the distribution of
"hate literature" of any kind. It
was reported that this bill has
been buried in committee for
many months, and that action is
now needed to have the bill dis-
charged from committee and
brought to the floor of the House
of RePresentatives.
Individuals and organizations
in Detroit are urged to write
their Congressmen requesting
them to sign this Discharge Peti-
tion No. 21 so that the Lynch
Bill may be debated in Congress.
Abraham Cohen, internal re-
lations director of the Council,
reported on plans for the spe-
cial meeting of Council delegates
and electors to discuss the work
of the American Jewish Confer-
ence, to be held Nov. 21 at the
Jewish Center.
Reports were given by Rabbi
Leon Fram and Isaac Franck on
the last meeting of the National
Community Relations Advisory
Council, which is engaged in
coordinating and uniting the na-
tional fight against anti-Semi T
tism. They indicated that prOg-
ress is being made in the direc-
tion of uniting the work of the
national organizations, and gave

illustrations of these develop-
rnents. They also reported on the
work' which has been done local-
ly to keep anti-SemitiSm out of
the political campaign..
Isaac Franck reported on the
background, method and results
of the study of Negro-Jewish
relations in Detroit, sponsored
by the Community Council, Na-
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People
and Wayne University. A sum-
mary of the study, which lists
20 major conclusions, is being
distributed widely throughout
the city and to other communi-
ties. The study serves to prove
the falsity of many popular no-
tions as to the relationship be-
tween Jews and Negroes.
An appeal for support of the
War Chest was made by Judge
Charles Rubiner, who empha-
sized the fact that the United
Jewish Appeal is a major bene-
ficiary of the War Chest, and
that agencies like the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee and United
Palestine Appeal are already
carrying on vital relief and re-
habilitation work in liberated
areas of Europe and in Palestine.
Gerson B. Chertoff, research
director, reported on several
cases of discrimination in em-
ployment which have been
handled with gratifying results
in recent - months.
Isidore Sobeloff was .unani-
mously elected to fill a vacancy
in the executive committee
caused by the resignation of
Herman Pekarsky.
Reporting on the perennial
problem of mushroom syna-
gogues which spring up for the
High Holy Days, Eabbi Max J.
Wohlgelernter proposed that the
president of the Council appoint
a standing committee to deal
with this and other synagogue
problems which might arise from
'NATIONAL WAR. UND time to time. 44
Joseph Bernstein presided at
this conference in the absence of
President James I. Ellmann.
Upon adjournment, some of the
delegates remained to hear the
rebroadcast of the first Jewish
services from liberated Nazi soil,
which was carried by Station
WWJ at the request of the Jew-
ish Community Council.

FOR OUR OWN - FOR OUR ALLIES

"Your gift packages reached
us on the front, before the bat-
tle of Kiev, for which our bri-
gade received the proud Order
of Suvoroff," a Czech corporal
wrote to American Relief for
Czechoslovakia. "After five years'
without letters or news from
ow families we
fingered each
•
article again and again, moyed
by the fact that somebody re-
membered us. The sewing . kit,
razor blades, shaving cream;
soap, socks and cigarettes—how
pricesless they are to men at the
front!
"My uncle's family, in a
Czechoslovak refugee settlement,
survived this winter because of
clothing, powdered milk, soups
and fats you sent.
"There is strength and comfort
in this knowledge that America
is caring for our people, scatter-
ed through many countries, or at
internment camps."
One for all and all for one. A
gift to the War Chest of Metro-
politan Detroit is a gift to Czech-
oslovakian relief and scores of
other important causes included
in the Allied Jewish Campaign,
the Detroit Community and the
agencies which serve our allies,
our neighbors, our fighting men.
"They'll never forget that you
remembered!" Give as generous-
Ay as you can to the Community
War Chest, 51 W. Warren Ave.

Advice to Swimmers

By JOSHUA BORODKIN
Swimming Director at Jewish
Community Center
A lot, of people ; consciously or
unconsciously, have trouble with
their breathing in synchronization
to their stroke. It is for those
people who are unconscious •of
this trouble, that my article is
written.
Some people, who are fairly
good swimmers, all of a sudden
get a... "gulp" of water in their
mouth. This is due to an in-
complete breathing cycle.
The correct breathing cycle is
as follows: Inhale on the side,
roll over, face down, exhale in
the water. Sometimes, however,
when a swimmer speeds up his
stroke, he continues his inhala-
tion in the water, breathing in a
mouthful of it.
Special drills were de-
signed several years ago by a
NeW York swimming coach, • by
which the synchronization of the
stroke to the breathing cycle is
made easier. It is relatively
simple to master the correct
technique, and anyone who has
mastered it derives a new gained
pleasure out of swimming.

CARD OF THANKS
The children of the late Mrs.
Fannie Ruskin of Winnipeg,
Manitoba, wish to thank relatives
and friends for the kindnesses
shown them in their xecent ber-
eavexnent.
