The response to the brunch in- vitation has been encouraging to the members of the steering com- mittee, elected at a preliminary meeting last spring, who have been at work on plans for a per- manent organization of 'young adult groups, Baruch declared. At Sunday's meeting, presi- dents will be informed of the pro- gress to date, and will be asked to send delegates to a forthcoming "constitutional convention." Members of the steering com- mittee are Sol. Schwartz, chair- man; Marilyn Adler, Baruch, Natalie Gaines, Ruth M. Levine, Bernie Schiff, Tybie Schneider and Miriam Schwartz.

PAUL, Minn.—The solu- tion of the problems of hunger and suffering in Europe "is a pre- requisite to the establishment of lasting peace," President Truman told the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America in a message read at the opening ses- sion of its 52nd annual encamp- ment on Thursday. J'he message, read by National Commander Milton H. Richman of Hartford, Conn., declared that "our nation is pointing. its every effort towards a solution of the grave problems engendered. by the second World War." The convention, which will run through Sunday, will be high- lighted by the National Comman- der's banquet, at which Harold E. Stassen, Republican presidential aspirant, will be the principal speaker. o (In his broadcast on Sunday, Drew Pearson predicted that the Jewish War Veterans' encamp- ment will volunteer to raise an army for the protection of the projected Jewish state in Pales- assistant to the group. • • I tine.) 4/E)e r eife WEEK: 5I- CFW Character, Not Color, Counts, Butzel Tells 12th St. Residents At a meeting on Oct. 9 at Hutchins School, attended by nearly 300 property owners and residents of the 12th St. area, the Jewish Community Council reiterated its desire to promote harmonious relations among all people in the neighborhood. Rab- bi Max J. Wohlgelernter presid- ed. Speakers included Fred But- zel, honorary president of the Jewish Community Council, Aaron Drook, Council president, and Oscar Cohen, executive di- rector. Mr. Drook struck the keynote of the evening with a vigorous pronouncement in favor of a democratic approach to the prob- lem presented by the movement of Negroes into the area. He stressed the desires of the Coun- cil that Jews refuse to give in to artificially stirred-up panic. Rabbi Wohlgelernter pointed out that the area involved con- tained about 40,000 Jews, nearly half of the Jewish population of Detroit, and that the Jewish community has an important stake in the area because of the location of synagogues, schools, businesses, etc. More important, he said, is he fact that a great many Jews live there together preserving cultural values. It would be difficult to move the people to another neighborhood and retain these values. "We want no ghettos for Jews or for Negroes either," he de- clared. Butzel, in personal reminis- censes, gave the story of the neighborhood in which he now lives which is entirely occupied by Negroes. "You can have all sorts of neighbors," said Mr. But- zel, "but it is possible to get along with all of them. It is character that counts, not color." In the ensuing discussion some told of their experiences with Negro householders on the same block. Nearly all agreed that the newcomers were making a con- scientious •effort to improve the property and are putting a good deal of money into its upkeep. The question of property val- ues came in for a good deal of discussion. A few people wished tc sell because they were afraid that the coming of Negroes would cause property to depreciate. The experience of others, however, showed that property values were rising and that most houses could now sell for considerable more for them. A good deal of paid for resentment was expressed about the practice of some real estate dealers who persuaded property owners to sell to them at a mod- est profit and then turned around and sold at a much higher price.. It was pointed out that besides costing the householder a sub- stantial sum of money, this prac- tice also helps to spread false stories about Negroes. Cohen emphasiked that the purpose of the meeting was ed- ucational and expressed the hope that a Neighborhood Council could be formed. He said that the Jewish Community Council is in- terested in helping to form such a group and invites inquiry. Report Liberal Response to JNF Synagogue Appeal Irving W. Schlussel, president of the Jewish National Fund Council of Detroit, reported at the last meeting of the Council that local synagogues responded liber- ally to the tradition of append- ing JNF stamps to admission cards issued for services during the Holy Days. In addition, Schlussel reported, several synagogues made appeals for funds to augment the income of the JNF. In response to an appeal made at Congregation Ahavath Achim by William Hordes, chairman of the board of the JNF Council, a sum of money was allocated for division between JNF, Hadassah and the Gewerkshaften. Schlussel spoke for the JNF at Congregation Shaarey Zion on Yom Kippur, and at Congregation Beth Moses on Shemini Atzeret. At the latter, through the efforts of the synagogue's president, Emil Kahn, $100 was raised for Holy Day stamps and an addi- tional sum of $100 after Schlus- sel's adress. The. JNF is planning several educational and. holiday events for the coming months to en- lighten the community on latest progress in land redemption in Palestine and on future needs for the development of colonies for the settlement of large numbers than the original owners had of Jews.
