Junior Mizrachi
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver and Dr. Stephen S. Wise, joint
ghairmen of the American __Zionist Emergency Council, hail-
ed the passage by both houses' of Congress of the Palestine
Resolution calling on the U. S. to "use - its good offices with
the mandatory power to the end that Palestine shall be
opened for free entry of Jews into that country to the maxi-
mum of its agricultural and econ- 0
omic potentialities."
In telegrams sent to President
of the Senate McKellar (D.,
Tenn.) and Speaker of the House
Rayburn (D., Texas), Dr. Silver
and Dr. Wise declared that adop-
tion of the resolution "has served
notice on those who would de-
liberately scrap the historic inter-
national pledge made by the na-
tions of the world a -quarter of
a century ago, and who would
stifle the cry of agony that comes
to us from the ruins of Europe,
that the American people con-
tinue to regard that pledge as
morally and legally compulsive
and will seek its fulfillment."
Pro-Zionist Appointed
To Inquiry Committee

resigned from the committee.

commission will commence its

Jewish Agency Hails
Passage of Resolution
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Official
spokesmen for Palestine's Jews
hailed passage by Congress of the
Palestine resolution urging free
entry of Jews into this country
and unrestricted land settlement.
A Jewish Agency representa-
tive told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that the action of Con-
gress would be "a powerful
counterblast to the anti-Zionist
designs. As against the bogging
down of the issue in fact-finding;
the Congressional resolution re
establishes the cardinal principle
that Palestine is the solution of
the Jewish problem," he added.
Raids on Jews Resumed

of • searching for 100 Jewish
"illegal" immigrants who are al-
leged to have landed here.
Police and British troops lined
all roads in Northern Palestine,
stopping all vehicles, including
buses, and checking on each
Jewish passenger. Only Jews
were requested to show identity
documents; Arabs were not mo-
lested. A number of Jews were
taken.off several buSes and trans-
ferred to a military camp near
the Jewish settlement of Rosh-
Pinah.
It is the responsibility and duty
of the British Government to act
against the proposed 'Arab boy-
Cott of Jewish goods manufactur-
ed in Palestine, it was stated
here at a meeting of representa-
tives of the Jewish Agency, the
Anglo-Palestine Bank, the Jew-
ish Industrialists Association, the
Jewish Chambers of Commerce
and the Histadruth.

Major Portion of 34-Acre Site Is Available for Building
Construction; Conveniently Situated in
Fast-Growing Jewish Settlement
An ordinance to rezone the Jewish Hospital site from resi-
dential and business to hospital use was passed unanimously by
the Detroit Common Council on Dec. 18 and sent to Mayor Edward
Jeffries for his signature.
Council's action followed the announcement by Max Osnos,
president of the Jewish ,Hospital Association, that the Albert Kahn
organization, architects, and Dr. J. J. Golub, hospital consultant,
already have begun_ designing of the hospital, and makes available
the major portion of a 34 acre site bounded by West McNichols
Road, West Outer Drive, Lauder and Whitcomb. Avenues for build-
ing construction, with the remainder to be utilized for landscap-
ing, recreation, and parking.
Selection and purchases of the land which - Council has re-
zoned came after months of study by the Jewish Hospital Associa-
tion's committee on site, of whiCh Frank A. Wetsman was chairman.
Take All Factors Into Consideration
Facing the. problem of choosing a location that would serve
the community tomorrow as well as today, the committee took
into consideration such factors as size, shape, and contour of land;
character of .soil; water supply and pressure (a hospital consumes
from 300 to 500 gallons a day per bed); adequacy of sewage dis-
posal; . accessibility to patients and physicians; exposure to sun,
wind, noise, sightly and unsightly surroundings; trends in popula-
tion - movements; trends in shifts of commercial and industrial areas;
and needs for future expansion.
Numerous properties were studied before the committee recorn-
mended, and the Association approved and bought, the present
34 acres.
Located conveniently to the fast-growing new northwest area
of Jewish settlement, the _site provides generous area for ultimate
development of the initial 200-bed unit into a comprehensive Jew- .
ish medical center for the acutely and chronically ill, out-patient
service, convalescent care, research and education.
•
Three Other Institutions to Be Erected
With three other institutions—Catholic Central High School,
the Evangelical Home for Orphans and the Scovel Memorial Pres-z
byterian Church—planning construction directly to the east and
north of the Jewish hospital site, it is anticipated that the hospital
will take its place as a _major unit in one of the most impressive
neighborhood center developments in Detroit.
