Twelve Michigan men are in-
cluded in the close to 1,000 Amer-
ican Rabbis from all sections of
the land who have joined in ad-
dressing an appeal to the "con-
science of America" as well as to
world statesmen gathered at San
Francisco, demanding the opening
of the doors of Palestine to the
Jews of Europe and "the fulfill-
ment of the pledges of the Bal-
four Declaration and the League
of Nations for the reconstitution
of Palestine as a free and demo-
cratic Jewish Commonwealth."
The 12 from Michigan are: Dr.
Selig S. Auerbach, Port Huron;
Rabbi Jacob M. Brown, Detroit;
Rabbi Moses Fischer, Detroit;
Rabbi Leon Fram, Detroit; Rabbi
Alfred L. Friedman, Benton Har-
bor; Rabbi Irving Ganz, Bay City;
Rabbi Joseph E. Krickstein, Mt.
Clemens; Rabbi Arthur B. Le-
bowitz, Lansing; Rabbi Jacob J.
Nathan, Detroit; Rabbi Israel T.
Notis, Saginaw; Rabbi Edward M.
Tenenbaum, Saginaw; Rabbi Max
J. Wohlgelernter, Detroit.
71 Chaplains Included
The signatories to the appeal,
comprising Conservative, Ortho
dox and Reform Rabbis, and the
appeal were made public by Dr.
Felix Levy of Chicago, chairman
of the Committee on Unity for
Palestine of the Zionist Organi-
zation of America. The list of
signatories includes 71 Chaplains
serving in all branches of the
U. S. armed forces. Rabbi Arthur
J. Lelyveld of New York City,
executive director of this corn-
inittee, announced that additional
signatures are still coming in.
The appeal is headed by the
following leaders of the American
Rabbinate, Rabbis Philip S. Bern-
stein, Barnett R. Brickner, Israel
Goldstein, Robert Gordis, Julius
Gordon, gim
on Greenberg, James
G. Heller, Mordecai M. Kaplan,
Jacob Kohn, Arthur J. Lelyveld,
B. L. Levinthal, Israel H. Levin-
thal, Louis M. Levitsky, Felix A.
Levy, Joshua Loth Liebman,
Joseph H. Lookstein, Jacob R.
Marcus, Irving Miller, Abraham
A. Neuman, Louis I. Newman,
David de Sola Pool, Abba Hillel
Silver, Milton Steinberg, Samuel
Thurman and Stephen S. Wise.
Speak for Millions
Declaring that "we speak for
millions of Americans, Jews and
non-Jews alike," the appeal em-
phasizes the plight of the
"hundreds of thousands of Jews

who have survived the Hitler
slaughter" adding that "the future
holds little promise."
"They are naked, hungry, sick.
The poison of anti-semitism
which the Nazis left behind has
made them literally homeless."
Dare Not Ignore Pleas
"Their eyes—the call says—are
turned to the ancient homeland
of their people—Palestine. This
is the land the Jews have rebuilt
and reclaimed from the desola-
tion and barrenness in which they
found it. This is the land which
has given freedom to 600,000
Jews and which promises the op-
portunity for normal, creative
living to the hundreds of thou-
sands in Europe who look to it
longingly."
Declaring that "the land which
has been designated as their home
is now closed to men and women
who desperately need and are
justly entitled to it," the call
signed by the Rabbis states:
"The United Nations dare not
ignore the plea of these victims
of one of the most heinous crimes
in history. The gates of Palestine
must be opened—and opened now
—not tomorrow when it may be
too late."

PALESTINE EXHIBITION
ISTANBUL (ZOA)—A Pales-
tine industrial exhibition was
opene'd here on May 1. The ex
hibits have been arranged by
the Department of Trade and
Industry of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine in cooperation with
the Palestine Manufacturers As-
sociation.
