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."
