Baratz, Dr. Heller Guests
Of Histadrut on March 23

Palestine and American Zionist Leaders to Address Closing
Festival; Emma Schaver to Be Featured with Choir
of 75 and Orchestra in DP Camp Songs

Two world famous Zionist leaders—Yosef Baratz of Pal-
estine and Dr. James G. Heller of Cincinnati—will be the
guest speakers at the closing festival of the annual Histadrut
(Gewserkshaften) campaign on Sunday evening, March 23, at
Music Hall, Harry-Schumer, 1947 campaign chairman, an-
nounced this week.

A sensational musical program

will feature the event. It will con-

sist of a choir and symphony
orchestra of 75 people. under the
direction of George Sebastian of
New York, one of the outstanding
of the country's young conductors,
with Emma L. Schaver as vocalist.
The singers and orchestra will
present a program of ghetto and
concentration camp songs which
have been brought to this country
by Mrs. Schaver from DP camps.
Songs of Faith. Hope
"These songs," Mrs. Schaver
said, "are so powerful, people
will be stirred to their very
depths, as I was, upon hearing
them. These people had faith
and hope that redemption would
come for them—redemption and
salvation in their own home-
land, Palestine."
Members of the orchestra will
be selected from the Detroit Sym-
phony.
Yosef Baratz was the leader of
16,000 Histadrut members of the
Jewish Brigade during the war.
He was the special Welfare Of-
ficer of the Jewish Agency for
Palestine to the armed force dur-
ing World War II and visited on
the battle fronts in the Middle
East, North Africa and Europe.
He was in close contact with men
of the underground who, after
the war, were responsible for the
movement of survivors into Pales-
tine.
Founder of Dagania
Baratz came to Palestine as a
pioneer 40 years ago and rose to
leadership in the Yishuv. Coming
to Eretz Israel in 1906 as a Halutz,
he helped drain the marshes that
preceded the founding of Hedera,
was one of the founders of Da-
gania—which became known as
the "Mother of Kvutzot"—in the
Jordan Valley, setting the pattern
for collective colonization; and he
became the leader of Agricul-
tural Workers' Union. He is a
member of the board of Kupat
Holim, the workers' sick fund,
and has served on the World
Zionist Acitons Committee. His

Council's Survey
Reveals Variation
In Prices of Meat

Wide variations in prices
charged by Kosher butchers are
revealed by the current survey
of the Jewish Community Coun-

cil.

Stores in the 12th St., Linwood,
Dexter and McNichols Rd. areas
are being checked to determine
whether Kosher meat prices are
actually excessive, as recent com-
plaints to the Council have in-
dicated. .
Variations in meat prices from
five to 30 cents per pound have
been discovered in the survey.
Most butchers label the meat in
their showcases, and some even
place price tags on it, the in-
vestigators report further. The
Kosher Butchers' Association has
promised the Council that all
Members will price-tag all meats.

mittee of the Council, under
whose auspices the investigation

The DPs employed in the projects
will be paid in goods, rather thap

a system of points based on the
hours of work and productivity.
Dr. Schwartz emphasized that
participation in work projects
will be entirely on a voluntary
basis. Those who stay away from
work will not be penalized eithe
by the JDC or by the army au

cated its willingness to see that

NEW YORK (JTA)—The re-
ported plans for the establish-
1
ment of a large-scale work proj-
ect for displaced Jews in the
American zone of Germany were
elaborated upon by Dr. Joseph
Schwartz, European director of
the Joint Distribution Committee,
who has just returned to this
country.
At a UJA press conference Dr.
Schwartz stated that 32,000 Jew-
ish men and women are expected

dertaken by the JDC in cooper-
ation with the Central Jewish
Committee, the Jewish Agency,

Final details of the program
await approval by the Army, he
said, adding that at present about
30,000 Jews are employed at serv-

Windsor Center

Plans Under Way
After Conference

Plans for a community center
in Windsor will get under way
shortly, as d result of the week-
long community planning confer-
ence sponsored Feb. 23 to March
2 by the Windsor Jewish Com-
munity Council.
At the final session of the con-
ference, the community approved
the project and appointed a rep-
resentative committee of 100 to
begin work on it. Heading the
coordinating committee are Harry
M. Cherniak, Community Council
president, and M. M. Sumner.
The most striking result of the Rabbis Glazer, Adle
community conference, according Address Civic Group
Dr. B. Benedict Glazer
to Cherniak, was the indication
of an awareness, on the part of Temple Beth El, will
all community groups, of the sented by the Detroit Ro

differences in the common effort
to evolve a total plan.

Birthrate Tops Quota

If the Palestine immigration
rate remains at the present 18,00G
a year the birthrate in camps...-
about 1,000 per month—woulc
make the quota barely sufficient
to absorb the natural increase
of the camp population, Dr.
Schwartz declared. Other pros-
pects for emigration are equally
dim, he stated.
The influx of Jewish refugees
from Poland has subsided some-
what, reaching a low of 1,000
during January, he asserted. HE
attributed this to a relative stabi
lization of the situation in Poland
to a decrease in number am
