Jewish Youth's
LISTENING

S
By Danny Raskin
AARON SUMITZ is among the
leaders mobilizing youth to take
immediate action in urging Presi-
dent Truman to use his influ-
ence in. demanding Great Bri-
tain's adherence to pledges re-
garding establishment of a Jew-
ish Homeland in Palestine.
Youth today has probably the
strongest word they have ever
had and it is of vital importance
that they use it in helping solve
the great issues of today and
seeing that justice is done.
The Palestine issue should be
dear to the hearts of every Jew-
ish youth. It is an issue for
which their elders have fought
for many years to make a real-
ity. Now it is up to youth to
take up where their fathers and
mothers are still fighting and
nearing their goal.
Send letters or telegrams or
post cards to President Truman
telling him to exert his influence
on behalf of the millions of Jew-
ish people without a land to call
their own.

Detroiter Author
Of Plan to Solve
Britain's Hoysing
Sgt. Ben Rosen, 23-year-old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Rosen of
7619 Byron, and two of his
buddies, Cpl. Vincent Solomite
of Brooklyn, N. Y., and Cpl.
Harold Jensen of St. Anthony,
Idaho, all stationed in. England,
have evolved a
plan which may
solve England's
acute housing
situation.
Their proposal,
which has been
studied by Sir
J o hn -Wrigley,
British deputy
minister of
health,' calls for
the conversion Sgt. Rosen
of Britain's hundreds of air-
fields and other camps into
temporary housing projects to
relieve the plight of 5,000,000 in-
adequately housed people.
The three GIs have estimated
that a rental of $5 a week over
a four-year period would return
the conversion investment, since
roads, power lines, sewage and
drainage facilities already exist
at the proposed sites.
Sgt. Rosen was a student at.
Pratt Institute of Art and was
employed by a New York ad-.
vertising firm when he entered
service. Solomite was an archi-
tect with the institute and Jen-
sen was an interior decorator's
assistant.

Refugee GI, Killed
In Action, Earns
Silver Star Medal
NEW YORK—Pfc. Gert Rosen-
zweig, a 21-year-old refugee,
sacrificed his life to provide an
opportunity for his American
buddies to take cover and pre-
pare for an attack on an enemy
stronghold during an offensive
near Schlettstadt, Germany. His
sacrifice was revealed recently
when he was decorated pos-
thumously with the Silver Star.
It was on Thanksgiving Day
last year when Pfc. Rosen-
zweig's battalion attacked. En-
countering strong enemy posi-
tions, the American unit was in
danger of annihilation. Pfc.
Rosenzweig stepped forward to
talk in German to the Nazi
guard 12 yards away. This ruse
distracted the Nazis, and gave
the battalion an opportunity to
prepare for the attack.
Pfc. Rosenzweig was brought
to the U. S. in 1937 by the
European-Jewish Children's Aid
affiliated with the . National
Refugee Service. A student at
the College of Engineering of
the University of Cincinnati one
year, he joined the army in 1942.
