Findings on Damage
To Local Cemetary
Released by Council

Detroiters Praise Philipp's Art
In Exhibit at Davidson Home

The Jewish Community Coun-
cil has made public the follow-
ing findings with reference to, re-
cently circulated reports con-
cerning damage to a Jewish cem-
etery in one of Detroit's sub-
urbs:
•
Although the acts of vandal-
ism occurred last January, no
report of the matter was made
to the Council until the end of
May. Investigation diSclosed that
the incident involved the turning
over of gravestones and the dam-
aging of pictures on some of the
graves. The cemetery's caretaker
reported the incident to the po-
lice. authorities of the s u b u r b.
The culprits were not apprehend-
ed. However, the police provided•
special protection for the ceme-
tery, and there has been no re-
currence of the trouble.
. Members of the Community
Council staff interviewed police
officials, officerS and caretakers
of the molested cemetery and of
adjoining cemeteries. It was not
ed that the fence of the molested
cemetery is defective - in many
places, and makes the cemetery
easily accessible to vandals. The
records of the police and local
authorities show a considerable
amount of trouble with hood-
lums, and damage to much other
property in the community.
The police have pledged con-
tinued vigilance and officers of
the cemetery and congregation
are determined to erect a sturdi-
er fence, conforming to the fenc-
es surrounding other cemeteries,
Jewish and non-Jewish.
Aaron Droock; president, . de-
dares that "the' Council deplores
the fact that the officers of the
cemetery failed to report this in-
cident at the time of its occur-
rence. The Council's knowledge
of the incident at 'that time, rath-
er than five months later, may
have been helpful in apprehend-
ing the culprits and bringing
them to justice. The administra-
tion of the Jewish Community
Council takes this occasion to
urge all members of the Jewish
community not to delay report-
ing incidents which appear to be
anti-Semitic."

A group of Detroiters had the
privilege last Sunday of witness-
ing the private showing of
a number of the better known

Mr. Philipp have won commen-
dations during displays in France,
San Francisco, Palestine, New
York and at other exhibitions.
Mr. Philipp was born in 1897
in Breslau. He studied in Dres-
den and Berlin and later settled
in France where he won high
distinction.

Married in Palestine

He was in Palestine from 1934
to 1937. During his stay in Pal-
estine, where he produced some
of his outstanding works,- he was
married, in 1936, on the roof top
of a Tel Aviv synagogue, to Miss
Elizabeth Handler, a .forrner De-
troiter.
They came to San Francisco in

artists.
The miniature exhibit took
place at the home of Mrs. Ralph
Davidson, 1666 Chicago Blvd.
Included in the works display-
ed was a • striking portrait of the
late Joseph Wetsman, father of
Mrs. Davidson. This portrait
was 'made by the artist from a
photograph, • after his subject's
death and.without his ever hav-
ing met him.

Striking Likeness

To those who knew Mr. Wets-
man the likeness is so real and so
striking, that it is being hailed
as an outstanding work:
Several Palestinian pictures
drew particular acclaim. These
were made by the artist during
a three-year residence in Pales-
tine.
There were a number of other
paintings, th e outstanding • of

ish faces which the artist calls
"Yom Kippur Heads". This and
