In Story of Pontiac Restriction Case Share -of Zionist
Harry N. Nayer, attorney asso- therefore, in the court's view U.S. GI

ciated with the firm of Levin, became unnecessary to pass judg-

Levin, Garvett and Dill, in a
statement to The Jewish News
offers corrections to .the article
which appeared in our issue last
week regarding the Pontiac re-
strictive covenant. Mr. Nayer's
statement follows:
_ "As a member of the Legal
Committee of the Detroit Jewish
Community Council who actively
participated in the matter, I am
writing you regarding the story
of the Pontiac restrictive cove-
nant case which appeared in your
paper on June 27, 1947. Several
inaccuracies revealing misunder-
standing appeared in that story
and I feel it imperative that any
misconception of the effect of the
decision be clarified.
"The court did not, as stated
in the story, invalidate the prop-
erty restrictions there involved.
What the court did, hold was that
there was no adequate proof that
the defendant Was a Semite. It,

ment on the legality of the re-
strictive covenant with respect
to occupancy by persons of the
Semitic race, and the court ex-
pressly reserved judgment upon
this point. In the brief we vigo-
rously urged the invalidity of
the covenant because of its am-
biguity and uncertainty; because
it was against public policy, and
was unconstitutional. The court,
however, declined to adjudicate
any of these matters.
"The story also fails to mention
the part played in the case by
Samuel A. Barr. Mr. Barr was
the attorney to whom the mat-
ter originally came. It was
through his foresight that the
broader implications of the case
were first recognized and brought
to the attention of the Commu-
nity Council. Mr. Barr actively
participated in the trial of the
case."

`Berlin Underground' Plans Fall Wedding
Describes Anti-Nazis'
Life Under Tyranny

Berlin Underground" by Ruth
Andreas-Friedrich, published by
Henry Holt & Co., 257 Fourth
Ave.. New York, is a most re-
vealing volume.
It is the diary of an anti-Nazi
German (sister-in-law of the
eminent Christian Zionist, Prof.
Carl Friedrich of Harvard), who
lived in Germany throughout the
entire era of Nazi rule.
In a sense the volume is an
attempt to prove that not • all
Germans are bad, that many of
them worked underground dur-
ing the Nazi rule and helped
Jews and others to escape tyran .
ny. It offers a convincing argu-
ment on this score, aside from
serving as an excellent day-by-
day record of how people lived
and fought in Germany, in con-
trast to the manner in which
tyrants ruled and destroyed the
land

Bercovici's 'Exodus'
Is Stirring Record
Of Fight for Freedom

Konrad Bercovici's "The Exo-
dus," published by Beechhurst
Press, 296 Broadway, New York,
is a stirring record of the battle
for freedom conducted by the
Israelites under Moses.
The. volume is a biography of
the great prophet, as well as the
historical review of the struggle
for liberty, the reactions of the
people of that time, the tyranny
of the oppressors.
Bercovici, who lately has taken
a place of leadership in t h e
ranks of the pro-Irgunists, nat-
urally paints a militant picture
of the great liberator. Out of
the simplicity of the Man Moses
emerges a military leader as well
as a Lawgiver.
Written in the powerful style
which has distinguished his pre-
vious works. Bercovici has added
another gem to his splendid lit-
erary creations under the title,
"The Exodus."

The Louis LaMed Foundation
announces that its English .Corn-
mittee for 1947 consists of Dr.
Solomon Grayzel, chairman, Dr.
Ludwig Lewisohn and Dr. Na-
hum N. Glatzer.
The following are the rules for _
this year's contest:

JERUSALEM, (Palcor) •The

ment cancel its "gift dollar" ar-
rangement of November,, 194k,
with the Jewish Agency, whereby
the agency is permitted to use
"gift dollars" collected by Zit:this%
funds for the purchase of.,eertain
priority industrial articles outside
the empire dollar pool into which
all dollars acruing to Palestine
are automatically dumped.
The Arab firm which is peti-
tioning for an import license to
purchase a gas manufacturing
plant in the United States, con-
tends that the "gift dollar" agree-
ment with the Jewish Agency
constitutes racial discrimination.
The Arabs claim that the Jewish
Agency has $11,000,00 which
should be turned over to the pool
from which they would then
draw.
The "gift dollar" arrangement
is designed to help Jewish impor-
ters in Palestine who are unable
to obtain import licenses because
they lack dollar credits in Ameri-
ca. Such importers approach the
Jewish Agency, and if the latter
approves, he receives permission,
with the concurrence of the gov-
ernment import controller to pay
to the Jewish Agency Palestine
pounds for his goods. The agency
then utilizes the dollar credits,
allowed under the arrangement,
to pay for the goods in the US
The disproportionate allocation
of dollars, out of the empire pool,
to the Arab countries, at the ex-
pense of Jewish Palestine which
contributes more to the pool than
all the Arab beneficiaries com-
bined, was cited at a meeting of
the Jewish Chamber of Corn-
merce and Industry in Haifa, re-
ported by Palcor last April 25.
S. Nathanson, president of
the Chamber of Commerce,
pointed out that in 1946 the
Yishuv contributed a .total of
$65,000,000 to the empire pool,
but received only $36,009,000
in allocations, while Iraq, which
contributed a mere $600,000, re-
. eeived $14,000,000, and Egypt
with contribution of* $10,000,009
received a $60,000,00 allocation.
Palestine police officers, speed-
ing in a jeep through the Negev
ahead of the UN Commission's
entourage, forcibly broke up a
routine visit of Arabs to a. Jew-
ish settlement in that remote
area before the commission mem-
bers could witness it. The police
action was taken at Kibbutz Re-
vivim, where Bedouin tribesmen
and Arab villagers had gathered
as usual to draw water and have
a friendly chat with the Jews.
The police ordered all Arabs to
get out of the settlement, the
Jewish settlers later informed the
commissioners.
