THE JEWISH NEWS
A. M. Lang Discharged
After 2 Years in Navy;
Reopens Law Office
Capt. H. Pliskow
Returns to States
Arthur M. Lang has been dis-
charged from the navy after two
years of service and has resumed
the practice of law at 1013 La-
fayette Bldg.
A pharmacist third class, sta-
tioned at the U. S. Naval Hos-
pital, Oakland, Calif., Lang
served as legal aide for the pro-
vost marshal, did legal work for
the Navy Relief Society and was
instrumental in establishing in-
ter-racial relations among the
personnel.
He has received commenda-
tion from his district medical
officer for efficiency, and was
been recommended for a com-
mission but was rejected for poor
eyesight.
He was awarded a tallis by
the district chaplain for his work
with the Jewish personnel and
patients, having supervised ser-
vices, and performed the duties
of unofficial Jewish chaplain
whom the men called "Doc."
He recalls two incidents which
stand out in his navy career.
Once he sat at the bedside and
prayed for a Jewish lad, a battle
casualty for whom no hope was
held out. He recovered. Another
time, a Jewish child was born in
the hospital's dependency ward
and he officiated at the brist.
Lang was selected to appear
in the inspection party during
a visit by Adm. Nimitz to the
hospital.
Lang resides with his wife
and son, Paul, at 2648 Rochester.

rabbi emeritus of Beth Elohim
Congregation, Charleston, S. C.,

you're offered a part in it . . •
But why would a gal want to
show-off the same kind of coat
which 15 or 20 others are wear-
ing . . . Then again, maybe the
food is good.

HATS OFF .. . to the gals of
Infant Service Group . • . for
their Cafe Society show at the
Book-Cadillac . . . All the lovely
persons connected with it hit a
top note in amateur presentation
in the community . . . Eleanor
King, president of the group and
producer of the show, deserves
the plaudit she is still receiving
. . . The 15 member of the actual
cast have an aggregate of over
30 children . . . and getting away
for rehearsals was many times
impossible.
Capt. Harold Pliskow, of the
Army Medical Corps, recently
was transferred to the U. S. from
India, arriving in New York on
Jan. 21. He entered service in
October, 1942, being stationed at
Peoria, Milwaukee and Chicago,
and then was sent to a station
hospital near Dacca, India, in
May, 1945.
Recently he spent some time
taking a concentrated course in
diseases of the eye at the Uni-
versity Hospital in Calcutta.
When he returned to his unit
he was just in time to receive
his orders to return home.
Capt. Pliskow soon will join
his wife, who resides at 19149
Steel. They have two children,
Raymond, 5, and Judith, 3.
