In accordance with its tradi-
tional hospitality, the Jewish
community in Detroit opened
wide its doors to servicemen,
servicewomen, and their families
during Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur.
At temples and synagogues,
men and women in uniform
joined in giving thanks to God
for the first New Year_ in a world
at peace. Many were on furlough
prior to returning to redeploy-
ment or separation centers. The
largest number, however, were
stationed around the Detroit
area, with many from Percy
Jones hospital in Battle Creek.
Others came from Selfridge Field,
including several Free French;
Ann Arbor; and Navy men from
Dearborn and Grosse Ile.
Assured Place to Stay
Through arrangements by the
Hospitality Committee of the De-
troit Army and Navy Committee,
USO-National Jewish Welfare
Board, of which Mrs. Abraham
Srere is chairman, every Jewish
serviceman and woman and
their families were assured of a
place to stay for the Holiday.
Prior to the Holidays, contact
had been made with the Com-
manding Officers of all- army and
navy bases in Michigan by Sam
Kurzon, Army and Navy director
for the USO-JWB in Detroit, to
determine the number of men
who would be remaining here for
the Holidays. A request for co-
operation in granting leaves and
passes to servicemen to enable
them to join in observances had
been forwarded by Dr. B. Bene-
dict Glaser, state chairman of the
Religious Committee of the De-
troit Army and Navy` Committee.
The owners of the Barium
Hotel, Henry Keywell and Isidor
Kowal, again invited servicemen
and women, wives and families
to be their guests. More than 100
stayed at the Barium for Rosh
Hashanah receiving free meals
and rooms, with the same invi-
tation repeated for Yom Kippur.
Breakfast at Center
A pre-Holiday breakfast was
held at the USO-JWB lounge at
the Jewish Center on Sunday
morning before Yom Kippur.
With USO-JWB offices closed
for Rosh Hashanah and Yom
Kippur, the Downtown USO co-
operated by sending late corners
directly to Jewish families or to
the temple or synagogue from
where they were invited to
homes.
Heading the Detroit Army and
Navy Committee is Samuel H.
Rubiner, chairman. Fred M.
Butzel is state chairman for the
National JWB.

Truman Hails JWV
As 'Living Answer'
To Bigotry, Hatred
President Calls Organization
a Symbol of Patriotism
by Jewish Citizens
NEW YORK — Praise for the
Jewish War Veterans of the U.
S. as a "living answer to those
who would confuse our people
with the evil doctrine of bigotryy
and hate" was expressed by
President Truman in a letter to
National Commander Archie H.
Greenberg on the occasion of the
beginning of the 50th anniversary
year of the organization, which
with the exception of the dwind-
ling Grand Army of the Republic
is the oldest veterans organization
in the U. S.
.The full text of the President's
letter follows:
"A half century of service to
veterans is indeed cause for con-
gratulations. It is, therefore, a
pleasure for me to extend greet-
ings to the Jewish War Veterans
of the United States on their
fiftieth anniversary.
"As a symbol of patriotic serv-
ice rendered by our citizens of
Jewish faith, your organization
is the living answer to those who
would confuse our people with
the evil doctrine of bigotry and
hatred.
"Through the Jewish War Vet-
erans, may I once more repeat
the deep sense of appreciation
which the nation feels toward all
the men and women who have
served in the armed forces.
"May your organization grow
in strength, so that together with
other responsible veterans' organ-
izations, it can render service to
our fighting men as they return
to peaceful pursuits."
Commander Gerenberg recent-
ly was a White House guest of
President Truman.

Capt. Peter A. Martin, 28,
whose Detroit address is 2245 At-
kinson, was awarded the Bronze
Star Medal on Sept. 7 for meri-
torious services in connection
with military operations in Bel-
glum, Holland and Germany
from October,
1944, t o May,
1945. He is di-
vision psychiat-
rist of the 104th
Infantry Divi-
sion - which was
returned to the
States in July
for redeploy-
ment to the Pa-
cific, and is now
stationed at San Capt. Martin
Luis Obispo, California.
His citation reads in part that,
"As division psychiatrist, Cap-
tain Martin worked untiringly to
save many men for combat duty
who otherwise would have been
lost to the division. Keeping
constant contact with the front
by frequent visits to all forward
medical installations, he main-
tained a personal knowledge of
the changing battle conditions
which contributed to the battle
exhaustion of the men. This
necessitated frequent travel over
roads that were under enemy
observation and shell fire.
"His untiring efforts, over and
above the call of duty, contri-
buted greatly to the successful
treatment of an extremely large
percentage of battle exhaustion
cases and their early return to
their combat duties, reflecting
the highest credit upon himself
