Wednesday, March 27, in the Brown Memorial Chapel of Temple Beth El on "The Jewish People of Europe—Will They Live or Die?" The meeting is being held in behalf of the Allied Jewish Cam- paign. Mrs. Joseph H. Erlich, presi- dent of the Women's Division, will preside. Mrs. Alexander Sanders, vice-president in charge of education, will report on the progress of her department. Name Other Officials Mrs, Oscar Zemon, one of the chairmen of general solicitation, will announce the names of the vice-chairmen, area chairmen and secretaries who will coordin- ate the work of the campaign in her sector and in the sectors of her co-chairmen, Mrs. Samuel S. Aaron and Mrs. John C. Hopp. The meeting, to which all Jew- ish women in Detroit are invited, is expected to attract a record crowd to hear Mr. Brown, globe- trotting reporter, one-time cap- tive of the Nazis and expert ob- :ierver on the vast problems fac- ing the Jewish survivors of Eu- rope. Achieved Fame in 1939 Former European correspond- ent for International News Serv- ice, Brown achieved fame in 1939 with a world beat on the death of Pope Pius XI. In 1940, with a series of international radio broadcasts from Rome for the Columbia Broadcasting System, he ran into serious trouble with the Mussolini censors and was ex- pelled from Italy. His expulsion came just in time for him to wit- ness the Nazi invasion of Yugo- slavia, during which he was cap- tured by the Germans and later released. After assignment to Cairo as CBS correspondent, to cover the Syrian campaigns, Mr. Brown was sent to the Far East. His radio reporting from that theater brought two journalistic awards; the Overseas Press Club's prize for radio reporting and the award of Sigma Delta Chi, national jour- nalism fraternity, for the best news reporting of 1941. Aboard Torpedoed Ship Mr. Brown was aboard the British battleship Repulse when that warship was torpedoed by Japanese aircraft and witnessed her sinking and that of the HMS Prince of Wales. His story, re- ported from Singapore by radio Leveral hours later, made journal- istic history. After this feat, he stayed on in Singapore where his broadcasts or the progress of the war brought him into conflict with British censorship. The British felt that his broadcasts, though factual and true, ‘vere too "pessi- mistic." When the British banned his broadcasts, he went to the Neth- erlands East Indies and was there during much of the fighting against the Japanese. Mr, Brown is now a regular commentator for the Mutual Broadcasting System and is a fre- quent contributor to the nation's leading magazines. His wide ex- perience in Europe, the Middle East and the Orient especially qualifies him as an analyst of Jewish distress in these sections of the world. Palestine Mandate Transfer Urged LONDON, March 15 (JTA)— Transfer of the Palestine Man- date •from Britain to the United Nations Organization is urged by the Soviet trade union publica- tion, "Trud," the Moscow radio said today'. The newspaper de- clared: "British Foreign Secretary Bev- in's statement that a decision on the future status of Palestine would have to await the results of the Anglo-American Commis- sion of Inquiry satisfied only a few people at the UNO Assem- bly. Surely the appointment of a commission from two countries does not exempt the British Gov- ernment from transferring Pales- tine to the UNO," Trud concluded. UHS Pupils Begin Study of Passover According to tradition, the study of a holiday is to precede it by 30 days. This tradition is fol- :o wed in the United Hebrew Schools in connection with Pass- over. The study is not limited to the history, laws and regulations of the holiday, but it includes the study of that portion of Chumosh which deals with Passover, the learning of the Haggadah and everything pertaining to Pesach. The Hebrew Schools are pre- paring to accommodate new pu- pils during this period. The pe- riod of Passover has always been known as a Be'n-Hazmanim, a period when pupils were admit- ted to the various places of learn- ing. Classes for beginners will be open in every branch of the Unit- ed Hebrew Schools. Accommoda- tions also will be made for more advanced pupils. ❑ scattered communities . of Michigan, THE JEWISH NEWS expresses its hearty !hanks. of gratitude for the encouragement of the supporting communities in helping us achieve our purpose.
