'Detroit Is My Home Town'
Tribute Pays to Jurist
Malcolm W. Bingay, editorial
director of the Free Press, author
of the very popular column "Good
• orning" and creator of "Iffie the
Dopester" character and
stories, all 11is life was interested,
only in journalism and in this
pursuit, he says, he has "done
everything on a newspaper."
During his long and distin-
guished journalistic career he has
learned to know a lot about De-
troit, its history, its lore, its great-
ness and its shortcomings. He
came to know many of the men
who made Detroit "Dynamic" and
a "Wonder City," the automotive
and industrial giants, men of vi-
sion, common sense and know-
how; and he has also learned to
know those who fomented hate
and blind bigotry and who were
"wielding a poisonous influence
over our politics."
"Detroit Is My Home Town" is
not a history of Detroit as an his-
torian would like to portray it;
neither is it a book full of sta-
tistics about Detroit's growth and
industrial greatness. It is instead
a collection of extremely inter-
esting and fascinating stories and
portraits of the "personalities,
queer characters and heroic men
who, through two and a half cen-
turies, have given our town its
tang."
There are stories and anecdotes
about Henry Ford, Bill Knudsen,
the Dodge brothers, Walter Chrys-
ler, Alfred Sloan, K. T. Keller,
C. F. Kettering, and other giants
of the.automobile industry. There
is a story about James Couzens, a
study of one of the richest men
in America, but one of the loneli-
est.
Mr. Bingay also knows how to
pay tribute to other gallant "fab-
ulous fellows" who made Detroit
known for virtues other than au-
tomobiles and mass production.
There . was Father Richard, who
labored-among other things-for
the adequate educational and cul-
tural needs of the growing city;
Edward J. Jeffries, the father, an
enemy of all vested interests, a
defender of labor,_ and a scorner
of society, whose son Detroiters
voted into the mayor's office
"from the force of habit;" Edgar
A. Guest, Detroit's own poet; our
eagles, Jimmie Doolittle and Eddie
Rickenbacker; Detroit's great ar-
chitect axd builder, Albert Kahn,
a thin, hungry Jewish immigrant
boy who grew to revolutionize
"the industrial system of the
world by making once horridly
ugy factories things of light and
beauty;" and Harry Keidan, a
devout, sincere, courageous Jew,
trusted and respected by members
of all faiths in a city that was
"literally torn apart with religious
and racial hatreds" after the
banks' crash in the early thirties.
Characteristic of the late Judge
Harry Keidan is the story which
Mr. Bingay quotes as being told
BUSINESS
by the Judge to Peter Monaghan,
a devout Catholic and his lifelong
friend. The story merits retelling:
"As I was . taught to understand
it," said Judge Keidan, "Abraham
as the 'friend of God' and the
`father of the faithful' was the.
real father of the Jewish faith.
Now, God was worried becauSe
pagan religious rites were intrud-,
ing upon true religiOn .. . These
wicked cults were influencing the
people of Israel, and God wanted
to make them understand the evil
of their ways . . . He did not pick
out an ordinary fellow, like my-
self, born over a store on Gratiot
Avenue by the railroad tracks
. . . He picked • the best beloved,
the most highly respected man in
all Israel-Abraham. And He told
Abraham that he must sacrifice
his only son Isaac, (on) a moun-
taintop where all the people could
see ... But, when Abraham raised
the knife to do God's bidding, an
angel came down from heaven
and stayed his hand, and God
spoke - to Abraham and told him
the wickedness of such sacrifices,
so that all could hear." (Incident-
ally, this story was told for the
benefit of his friend in order . to
ease his pain and heartsickness
caused him by Coughlin's shame-
less and unjustified attack upon
his honesty and integrity. The
friend understood Judge Keidan's
allegorical implications.)
Mr. Bingay's "Detroit Is My
Home Town" is a must reading
for every Detroiter. Probably by
the time these lines are read, this
book will be first on the best-
seller list in this area. It honest-
ly deserves such a well accorded
honor.
Transjordan Troops
Remain in Palestine
By J. L. TELLER
Editor-in-Chief, Independent
Jewish Press Service
JERUSALEM (JPS) - Indica-
tion that the Transjordan Arab
Legion will remain in Palestine -
iridefinitely, despite Jewish pro-
test, was contained in a reply on
behalf of the Palestine Govern-
ment, through its Public Informa-
tion Officer, to a question by this
correspondent as to whether the
independence of Transjordan im-
plies automatic removal of the
Legion from Palestine, as troops
of a foreign power.
The reply, received several
days after the question was filed,
stated that the Legion remains
under command of the Middle
East General Headquarters for
such disposition as the High Com-
mand sees fit.
The Arab Legionnaires are re-
garded as a constant anti-Jewish
irritant. They are posted a short
distance from Tel Aviv and in
northern Palestine where alleged-
ly they are helping illegal Arab
immigration. A small. group is
stationed in the Negov, near Beth-
sheba, in southern Palestine,
where the grave of 20 Jews,
killed during World War I, was
desecrated by unidentified van-
dals . •
