For Jews' Dead

Off the Record

What's In a Name?
George C. Messersmith, former Assistant Secretary of State and
Ambassador to Argentina, Mexico and Cuba, is a master at diplo-
matic reminiscing. His favorite story, one he recently told at a private
gathering, is about a diplomatic mission which brought him to a very
small town which had no hotel . . . He was quartered in one of the
finest homes, which belonged to a Jew. During the dinner conversa-
tion Mr. Messersmith spoke admiringly of the building, the library,
the art and the surroundings. "Yes, yes," replied the embarrassed
host as he fumbled for words, "but for an American diplomat, and a
Jew at that,•even our best isn't good enough" . • . Quickly grasping
the situation, Mr. Messersmith decided not to disillusion his host, and
for three days he lived in a Jewish home as a Jew.
Variations and Predictions
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, we unhesitatingly predict, stands the best
chance of being chosen the first president of the Jewish republic if
his health holds out when popular elections are held ... Mrs, Goldie
Meierson, astute chief of the Agency's political department in Pales-
tine, will be rewarded with a cabinet portfolio for her brilliant work
. . . Palestine's Arabs will jump on the partition bandwagon rather
than risk jeopardizing the gains they made through Jewish initiative
and investment.
Few people know that Arthur Krock, of New York Times fame,
is Jewish . . . And fewer people still know that the original name of
Samuel Grafton, brilliant New York Post columnist, was Samuel
Lifshitz . . . Walter Lippman, another Jew, has for the past 10
years been writing a column three times a week for the New York
Herald-Tribune without once taking up any Jewish problems ... The
6,000,000 Jewish dead, 10 times the British and American losses,
didn't raise a ripple in the ways of Lippman's fertile mind .. Right
now he is advocating a dangerous thesis—the removal of the British.,
American and Russian armies from Europe at a time when, in the
opinion of the best observers of the European scene, such a course
would lead to pogroms on Jews.

new art gallery — Cyril's
Studio — has opened in De-
troit, under the alert guidance
of Cyril Aronson, and is located
at 2340 Davison, near 14th. St.
The gallery is open every eve-
ning from 7 to 9, and on Satur-
day _and. Sunday afternoons, 2
to 5.
This new gallery gives every
indication of being one of De-
troit's most interesting and taste-
ful show rooms, where the ex-
cellent judgment and discrimi-
nation of Cyril Aronson will in-
sure lively and attractive dis-
plays of art merchandise, along
with well chosen selections of
oils, watercolors and drawings.
The gallery imports from Eu-
rope and New York, the work
from abroad being that of artists
whose gallery connections have
been - severed due to chaotic
conditions there. Detroit crafts-
men are liberally represented
with original ceramics and jewel-
ry and the collection for holi-
day purchase is so reasonably
priced, that already many fine
pieces have been sold.
Here is the opportunity , so
many people have been looking
for, as gifts of quality can be
purchased here for a nominal
sum.
The policy of this intimate and
attractive gallery is to present
objects of art and paintings,. of-
fering time payment, to give
space 'to artists who could not
afford, connections with estab-

.

lished galleries, and to create
an all-round interest in art and
creative enterprises. This gal-
lery will afford the young home-
maker an excellent opportunity
to purchase articles and paintings
of lasting value.

Beautiful designed watercolors,
temporas and drawings by Law-
rence McKinin • (now holding
a scholarship at Cranbrook), are
now on view, along with the
work of Dorethea Mackenthun.
Thad Brykalski and Bernard
Goldman are scheduled for ex-
hibit, and the work of both young
men promises a most outstanding
show. From time to time, this
gallery plans unusual and lively
features in the realm of art and
should provide a real interest
for Detroiters.

Charles Culver is opening the
first of the one man shows at
the Artists Market, Tuesday
afternoon, Oct. 28. This collec-
tion is highly original and imag-
inative and defies categories.
Culver has the ability to de-
scribe crisply and richly the
essence and core of his subject,
with a force and impact seldom
reached in watercolors. The
strength and beauty of his work
is in its unique pattern and color
and his delightful humor makes
for one of the Most refreshing
and stimulating exhibitions of
the coming year.
