OVERSEAS

Ex-Reichsmarshal Herman Goering, Number

virtually barred German Jews from earning a
living.
Five hundred men and women carrying anti-
Fascist placards and shouting "We must get
rid of the rats," broke up a mass meeting in
London of the new anti-Semitic British Fascist
Vigilante Active League, in Albert Hall, larg-

states in a dispatch from London. The hall was
littered with anti-Semitic literature.
Ten large villas in the seashore resort town
of Astia, former week-end residence of Musso-

An estimated 1.500,000 to 2,000,000 Ger-
mans in the United States zone will be subject
to classification by German courts as Nazi
offenders, with punishments ranging from ten
years' imprisonment and loss of property to
temporary loss of civil rights, to be meted out
at the courts' discretion, the American Military
Government disclosed in Berlin.
A three-day national Zionist Conference,
which began with a mass demonstration for a

other notables, closed in Paris March 12, with
a celebration commemorating the fiftieth an-
niversar,7 of the publication of Theodore
Herzl's - "Judenstaat," (Jewish State) source
book of political Zionism.
A black market in "Jewish grandmothers,"
which sells forged German documents attest-
ing that holders are not Aryan and therefore
are entitled to preferential treatment as vie-
aims of Nazi persecution, is flourishing in the

United States and British zones of Germany.
The price of the documents, which are sought
mainly by former members of the Nazi Party,
ranges from 7,000 marks upward.
Karl Raddatz, director of the Department of
Victims of Fascism, has been arrested by Sov-
iet authorities in Berlin on charges of spread-
ing anti-Semitic propaganda against Jewish
members of the Department and discriminating
against Jews in distribution of relief.
More than 150,000 Algerian Jews partic-
ularly youths, now wish to emigrate to Pal-

on a visit in London.

officers received sentences of from five years
to life.
Eighty Jewish patients in the UNRRA tu-
bercular hospital at Freimand, Bavaria, have
been refused treatment by the German Chief
Surgeon, Dr. Schpet and his assistants who are
Germans, Lithuanians and Ukrainians. Jewish
patients in the hospital reportedly are mis-
treated by the 'staff.
British Foreign Secretary Bevin's warning
to Jews "not to push to the head ' of the
queue," made during his declaration on Pal-
estine, last Nov. 13, has been used by a new
British Fascist organization calling itself
"Briton's Vigilantes," in an open letter warning
the Jewish people that anti-Semitism is rapidly
increasing in England.

North End Clinic Expands
Work as Doctors Return

.During the first half of 1945 the
North End Clinic continued its
restricted program of medical
services necessitated by the war.
The need for care continued at
approximately the level of the
previous year.
The wa.r's end in August
changed this general situation and
certain trends were observable
early in the Fall. Two factors
were responsible; the first was
the abrupt industrial or economic
change; the second the return of
North End Clinic medical veter-
ans. While statistics for the year
as a whole do not reflect this
shift, a glance at figures on the
number of visits for the last quar-
ter of 1945 does. In October, 1945,
3,394 visited the clinic, as com-
pared with 2,962 during the same
month a year earlier, and this in-
creased figure of approximately
400 per month was maintained in
November and December.
Physicians Returning
Reconversion, layoffs and
strikes have not, however, precip-
itated the marked increase in pa-
tients that at first was expected.
Unemployment insurance and
bonds have helped many individ-
uals to meet current expenses. In

made it possible to replace old
diagnostic and treatment proce-
dures with new ones and im-
proved types of service became
available to patients.
Post Graduate Work
Plans are under consideration
for reviving and expanding the
program of post graduate experi-
ence for physicians. North End
Clinic expects to continue to offer
opportunities to all qualified phy-
sicians who wish to affiliate with
it and is mindful as well of its
obligation to assist the Jewish
Medical Veteran of this commun-
ity in re-establishing himself in
practice in Detroit. For example,
the services of the Laboratory,
the X-ray and the Physical Ther-
apy Departments are made avail-
able at reduced cost to their mar-
ginal income patients.
Questions pertaining to the
Clinic's expanding service to De-
troit's growing Negro population
must be further explored. There
are other matters too which will
call for consideration as they tend
to impinge on the Clinic's future
development. They include: the
Clinic's relationship to the new
Jewish hospital, the present inac-
cessibility of ambulatory services
to Jewish families, both indigent
and those with marginal incomes;
the plans of labor and industry
which deal with the physical and
mental health of the worker and
his family; the development of
large scale medical care programs
both voluntary and governmental.
All these offer a compelling chal-
lenge in social planning to those
under whose auspices North End
Clinic operates.
For the period covered by the
report, David Wilkus was presi-
dent of the North End Clinic and
Selma J. Sampliner was director.

Jewish Vocational Service
Meets Veterans' Demands

The Jewish Vocational Service
is one of our important adjuncts -
in contributing to the occupation-
al adjustment of the Jewish com-
munity. This agency provides
careful and scientific assistance
in job placement in line with a
person's abilities and interests,
as well as, skillful and thorough
vocational and educational guid-
ance, to assist persons in mak-
ing sound and satisfying plans
for careers, schooling, and train-
ing.
The agency is equipped with
those resources necessary to the
accomplishment of its functions,
having full facilities for aptitude
testing, and an extensive voca-
tional library for the use of its
clients. The agency also pro-
vides group counseling for youth,
parent and adult organizations,
and uses sound films and slides
in many of its group programs.
The agency is being used in-
creasingly by all segments of the
Jewish community. In 1945,
new and renewed cases seen in
the job placement department
were 55% higher than in 1944,
1064 as compared with 686; job
openings received were 39% high-
eri, 1100 as against 693; and 64%
more job placements were made,
554 compared to 338.
In the counseling department
a similar trend was shown with
a 42 percent increase in new and
renewed counseling cases in 1945
as compared with 1944, 337 as
against 238. Total new and re-
newed cases seen in the agency
during 1945 were 1401, as com-
pared with 924 in 1944, an in-
crease of 52%:
In 1946, it is likely that a fur-
ther rise in the activity of the
agency will be necessary, as is
indicated in part by the activity
in the agency in the first two
months of 1946. Increasing num-
bers are likely to come to the
agency for assistance in making
the best vocational adjustment
possible under less secure em-
ployment conditions than exist-
ed during the war. This will be
especially true of job-shifters
and the job-maladjusted, the
handicapped and displaced, the
very old, and the very young,

women, and many of the veter-
ans.
One recent change in the agen-
cy's policies should be highlight-
ed. In the past few years the
agency has not accepted clients
for service Who were below the
11A grade in high school, or of
equivalent age, with few excep-
tions. In response to community
demand, the agency now accepts
students below the 11A grade,
for educational counseling on the
choice of school courses, advis-
ability of changing courses, and
problems o f performance i n
school. This policy has been
adopted on an experimental basis.
Vocational counseling, is such, .
continues to be confined to those
above the 11A grade.
One of the major projects of
the agency in the coming year
will be to develop a group of rep-
resentatives of the various trades,
industries, and professions, to
serve as consultants to the
agency's staff and clients, in lo-
cating job opportunities, career
and educational planning, ques-
tions of starting a business or
practice, and related matters.
This project is expected to be
developed in cooperation with
the Detroit Service• Group of the
Jewish Welfare Federation.
. Harvey H. Goldman was presi-
dent of the JeWish Vocational
Service during 1945 and Albert
Cohen was executive director.
