Fr;dey, November 11, 1946
Rabbi Leon Fram, chairman of
the .Council's community relations
committee, will report on prog-
ress of the campaign. Petitions
will be distributed to delegates
for circulation among constituent
organizations in the community.
In issuing the call for the meet-
ing, Aaron Droock, president of
the Jewish Community Council,
stated "The battle against em-
ployment discrimination is one in
which every minority group has
a yital stake. In a period of re-
adjustment, discrimination may
well prove to be of the most
vicious phenomenon with which
we must deal. Experience in other
states where legal safe-guards
have been adopted leads to our
conviction that an effective state
law is one of the essentials in our
over all campaign to eliminate
the wasteful, uneconomic, and
un-American practice of discrim-
ination in the field of employ-
ment."
One of the few medals for valor
to be awarded since hostilities
ceased has been recommended for
Cpl. Gerald L. Swaab of Detroit,
a member of Rosenwald Post, it
was announced in Washington.
His commanding officers rec-
ommended award of the Soldier's
Medal because of the 19-year-old
Detroiter's heroism during a ty-
phoon on Guam last Sept. 21.
In a letter to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Irving Swaab, 3219
Glendale, the corporal mentioned
he had been scratched by flying
timber during a 120-mile-an-hour
windstorm.
Not until last week did his
parents learn that the former
Highland Park high school stu-
dent had led 500 men out of their
barracks to safety a few minutes
before all of the buildings col-
lapsed.
The Soldier's Medal, a peace-
time award, is the only award
that carries with it a gratuity
payment of $5 a month for life.
