that he will continue to sponsor
special Yiddish theatrical per-
formances in Detroit and that
during his stay in New York he
will plan to bring here the best
productions of the Yiddish stage.
"I am sincerely grateful to all
my friends for their courtesies,"
Mr. Littman said. .'`I appreciate
the respect that has been shown
me and the support I have re-
