Won Fight in Federal Court Against Unfair Michigan Alien Registration and Fingerprint-
ing Act; Has Long Been Outstanding Com munity Leader; Is President of United Jewish
Charities and Vice-President of Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit

By submitting the name of Theodore
Levin in nomination for the Federal Judge-
ship in the U. S. District Court for Eastern
Michigan, President Truman has conferred
an outstanding honor on the Jewish com-
munity of Michigan and the community generally

which already has seen fit, during the last 25
years. to entrust his nominee with important com-
munity positions.
Born in Chicago, Feb. 18, 1897, the 49-year-
old attorney, head of the law firm of Levin,
Levin, Garvett and Dill, has had an interesting
career and a lifetime of experience, qualifying him
for the high judicial post.
In his youth, when he lived with his family
in London, Ont., he sold newspapers. Later, work-
ing in a machine shop, he paid his way through
school.
Alumnus of U. of D.
He received his LL.B. degree from the Uni-
versity of Detroit in 1920 and his Alma Mater
conferred upon him the degree of Master of Law
in 1924.
Since 1920, Mr. Levin has practiced law in
all local, state and Federal Courts.
The Detroit Bar Association selected him for
various committee posts, and at present he is a
member of the grievance committee of the Mich-
igan State Bar Association.
A law suit which drew Mr. Levin into national
limelight was his fight against the Michigan Alien
Registration and Fingerprinting Act of 1931. In-
clusion in this act of cruel provisions directed
against aliens stirred Mr. Levin, together with
Fred M. Butzel, the late Max Kohler of New York
and Judge Patrick H. O'Brien of the Court of Pro-
bate of Wayne County, to lead the battle on the
constitutionality of the bill in the Federal Court.
He charged that the bill was an invasion of Fed-
eral powers, and his argument was upheld by a
three-man court, sitting in Detroit, which ruled
the Michigan bill unconstitutional.
Investigated Bank Crash
Appointed by the then State Attorney-
General Patrick H. O'Brien, Mr. Levin served as
Assistant State Attorney-General in 1933, in con-
nection with the Grand Jury which investigated
the reasons for the Michigan bank holiday.
He has been a member of Selective Service
boards since the inception of the draft, and has
served successively as chairman of a local board
and as a member of an appeal board. He is now
a member of the Appeal Board of Miclfigan.
Since 1920, Mr. Levin has been actively in-
terested in immigration and naturalization mat-
ters. He has served for many years as a member
of the Michigan State Council on Immigrant Edu-
cation. He has represented sectarian and non-
sectarian groups in connection with special cases
before the U. S. Immigration and Naturalization
Bureau and Federal Courts.
For many years idenified with community and
social service activities, Mr. Levin is president of
the United Jewish Charities and vice-president
of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit, both
agencies being affiliated with the Detroit Com-
munity Fund. He is a member of the executive
board of the Jewish Community Council and of
the board of directors of The Jewish News. He
also is a member of the board of directors of
National Refugee Service, Inc.

CHICAGO — Marching on the
British consulate, 50 Reform rab-
bis staged an unprecedented dem
onstration here to protest against
mass arrests of Jews in Palestine
and "other acts of violence and
terror by the British tantamount
to war."
Placards carried by the rabbis
read: "Jewish Chaplains Protest,"
"Friends of - Democracy Jailed by
Gestapo Tactics—Release Them,"
"Hitler Comes to Palestine" and
"Imperialistic Brutality Must
End."
The temper of the rabbis,
aroused by British operations in
Palestine over the vveekend, was
indicated in the final session of

the Central Conference of Amer-
ican Rabbis. Rabbi David Philip-
son of Cincinnati, 84-year-old
dean of the Ametican Reform
rabbinate and in the past a con-
sistent anti -Zionist, received an
ovation when he associated him-
self with the resolution terming
the latest British action as 'tant-
amount to the inauguration of
war."
In a moving speech, Rabbi
Philipson suggested that the res-
olution be presented to President
Truman by a delegation and off-
ered to serve on the delegation,
Dr. Julian Morgenstern, president
of Hebrew Union College, had
seconded the resolution which was
passed unanimously.
