With thousands of Detroiters remaining unsolicited for
the War Chest at the time of the official closing of the drive
last Wednesday, announcement was made by Edwin J.
Anderson, general chairman, that solicitations will be con-
tinued in order to offer an opportunity to all to make gifts.
Henry Ford II, a vice chairman for the 1945 campaign

and chairman of the Industrial
Unit, asked executives of indus-
trial plants in the Metropolitan
Detroit area and their War Chest
plant chairmen to continue
solicitation through Jan. 15.

Metropolitan Units, will continue
to solicit their prospects.

solicited and wishes to con-
tribute is asked to mail his con-

Chest needs help, I hereby

"In a gathering like this," he
said, "we see democracy in action
and democracy at its very best.
Here we find the assertion that
there is only one race—the
human race."
Judge Simons admonished the
War Chest workers to refuse to
doubt that they will reach the
goal and to set out to reach the
end with a determination to
secure the entire quota.
Monday's total was reported
as $415,199, boosting the goal for
the day to $5,109,232 or 60.2 per
cent of the quota of $8,490,336.
Drive in a Bad Way
On Tuesday it became appar-
ent that the drive was in a very
bad way.
Leaders reported at the lunch-
eon meeting Tuesday that the to-
tal had been boosted to only $5,-
507,599 or 64.9 per cent of the
goal.

Of Agudath Israel Young Council

NEW YORK, (JTA)—A seven-
day annual meeting of the na-
tional board of the National
Council of Jewish Women, rep-
resenting 65,000 wci-inen in 300
sections throughout the country,
concluded this week under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Joseph M.
Welt, of Detroit, national presi-
dent, after adopting resolutions
demanding the opening of Pales-
tine to unrestricted Jewish im-
migration, and assailing racial
and religious prejudices in the
United States.
The Council declared in one of
its resolutions that the "demo-
cratic institutions and the "demo-
cratic way of life in America are
being threatened by growing reli-
gious and racial tensions and dis-
criminations." The resolution on
Palestine reaffirmed the Council's
`stand in behalf of the abroga-
tion of the British White Paper
of 1939, unrestricted immigration
into Palestine, and the - upbuilding
of Palestine in the spirit of the
Balfour Declaration."
Action was also taken which
placed the Council in support of
international control of the ato-
mic bomb, continuation of OPA
and rationing; the passage, with-
out amendment of the Murray-
Patman Bill for Full Ethploy-
ment; the immediate enactment
of the FEPC legislation; the con-
tinuation and support of UNRRA

Hits Race Hatred

A strong appeal to workers to
carry on their activities was
sounded Monday at the luncheon
report meeting of workers, by
Judge Charles C. Simons of the
U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Recalling the famous steal
home from third by George
Moriarty, a play which a number
of years ago won the League
championship for Detroit, Judge
Simons reminded his audience
of a famous editorial in a Detroit
daily under the heading "Don't
Die on Third," and his admoni-
tion to War Chest workers was:
"DON'T DIE ON THIRD!"
Frank D. Eaman, president of
the War Chest, presided at Mon-
day's luncheon, at which Sams
Inc. was host. Mr. Eaman recall-
ed an address at University Hall,
Ann Arbor, by Charles Simons,
47 years ago, on the subject
"John Brown"—a speech which,
he said, remained in his memory
as one of the greatest he ever
heard.
Fight for Human Needs
Pointing to the contrast be-
tween the bestiality of European
dictators and the fight for human
needs being carried on in this
country, Judge Simons express-
ed• himself as opposed to gov-
ernment taking over causes now
served by the War Chest. If
that happens, he said, spiritual
values in voluntary contributions
will be lost.
