Helen Waren, the guest speak-
er, who left the Broadway hit,
"The Searching Wind" to play the
leading role in the overseas com-
pany of the play, "Ten Little
Indians", has just returned from
a year's tour of Italy, Sicily,
France and Germany. The corn-
pany was reputed to be the most
• successful unit of entertainment
overseas.
Radio, Theater Star
Miss Waren is well known to
both radio and theater audi-
ences. She appeared in a number
of Broadway plays, such as
"Stage Door", "Alien Corn", had
the comedy lead in "Having
Wonderful Time" and the lead
in the George Coulouris produc-
tion of "Richard the III." as well
as in a number of other success-
ful plays.
Simultaneously Helen Waren
was being starred by NBC in
several radio dramas. She was
cited by Movie-Radio Guide Mag-
azine as having given the best
feminine performance ever heard
on the air in a psychological
drama "The Next is Always a
Waltz" which was repeated three
times over the NBC network by
popular request.
While with the USO in Italy
Miss Waren came in contact with
the Jewish Briaade and was very
much inspired by their heroic
work.
Miss Waren was one of the
first civilians to enter Germany
immediately after V-E Day. The
grim horror which. she found
there especially the plight of
homeless Jews who had been
part of the large army of slave
labor brutalized by the Nazis
forced her, despite an utter lack
of resources, into single-handedly
smuggling Jews out of Germany
into Italy, obtaining food for
them from all available sources
and exhorting army aid for them.

mittee of the Center and the
Jewish Community Council.
The program will begin
promptly at' 9 p.m. Mr. Lehrer
will speak in Yiddish.
Abe Kasle, president of the United Hebrew Schools, ex-
pressed great satisfaction over the interest shown by these
men in the needs of the Hebrew schools and the efforts to
assure a Jewish education for hundreds of boys and girls in
the northwest section of the city.
"The type of men who have shown this interest and the
rising needs of JewiSh educational efforts encourage us to
carry on our work," Mr. Kasle stated. "We sincerely hope
that many who are concerned that a building should be erect-
ed by the United Hebrew Schools in the northwest district
of Detroit will call either the office of the United Hebrew
Schools or the men who have voluntarily banded together
to sponsor the building project."

Hungarian Leaders Thank
J.D.C. For. Relief Work
NEW YORK—The recent open-
ing of cable connections between
this city and Budapest brought
thanks for the work of the Joint
Distribution Committee in provid-
ing relief and rehabilitation for
Hungarian Jews from Dr. Fred-
erick Gorog, leader of local Bud-
apest relief activities.
According to Dr. Gorog, 180,000
Jews are now living within the
decreased frontiers of Hungary,
of whom 75,000 have recently re-
turned from concentration camps.
Sixty thousand Jews are from the
Budapest ghetto and the rest
were saved in different hiding
places.
