Grauel Meeting October 19 to Be Lev Stresses
U. S. - Palestine
Demonstration for Jewish Rights Economic Links
Arrangements are being made
to transform the public meeting
to be addressed on Sunday even-
ing, Oct. 19, by the Rev. John
Stanley Grauel, crew member of
the refugee ship Exodus, 1947, at
Central Hign. School, into a de-
monstration by Detroit Jews in
support of Jewish claims to a
homeland in Palestine.
This meeting is being sponsored
by the three American Jewish
Congress branches in Detroit—
Detroit Chapter of the Congress,
Women's Division and the Busi-
ness and Professional Group—
and the Zionist Council of Detroit
which speaks for all the Zionist
organizations in the city.
Benjamin L. Laikin, president
of the Zionist Council, and Harry
Nathan, Detroit Congress Chapter
president, announced this week
that Mr. Grauel's address will be
open to the public and that there
be no solicitations. An over-
flow audience is expected to pack
the Central High School audito-
rium.
. Born in New England, Mr.
Grauel was drawn by a passion
for justice to the great problem
affecting the Jews of Europe.
"As an American and a Christian,
I could not remain deaf to the
cries of those whb suffered most
from the Nazi cruelty and who
now seek their freedom," he ex-
plained.
Preacher, pastor, writer and
radio commentator, the Rev:
Grauel has an unusual education-
al background. Military academy,
college and seminary augmented
his interest in national and inter-
national affairs. As a liberal he
has translated his ideas into ac-
tion. His "greatest hobby is peo-
ple."
"In view of the pressing issues
confronting Jewry today, and be-
cause of the battle we must wage
to secure havens for . dispossessed
Jews who have survived Nazism
and now must struggle in search
of a home, the Rev. Grauel's ap-
pearance here is an event of
great importance," Laikin and
Nathan stated. "We expect an
overflow audience at the meet-
ing arranged for him on October
19 at Central High School, and we
look to all Detroit Jews to help
us make the gathering a great de-
monstration for Jewish rights."
