$75,545 Donated to Med. School
As Tribute to 'Our Dora' Ehrlich

Young Palestinian
To Address Masada,
Hadasscth Meeting

Our community's love and affection for our recognized
outstanding woman leader—Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich—was
expressed., Monday, in the form of impressive testimonials
and in contributions amounting to $75,545 towards the Hadas-
sah-Hebrew University Medical School in Palestine.
Towards the close of the dinner given in honor of "Our
Dora" Monday night at • Shaarey.

Daniel Brisker, Jewish Agency
messenger to the General Zionist
youth of the United States, will
be guest speaker at the Jr. Ha-
dassah-Masada* meeting at 8:30

Zedek, Leonard Simons • an-
nounced in behalf of the commit-
tee that the $75,000 Detroit goal
was oversubscribed by $545.
Rabbi Morris Adler, who pre-
sided at the dinner, presented
Mrs. Ehrlich with a testimonial
on parchment, prepared by the
committee.
In addition, Mrs. David deSola
Pool, national - vice-chairman of
the medical school campaign,
gave Mrs. Ehrlich a Jewish Na-
tional Fund Golden Book certifi-
cate in the name of Hadassah's
national board.
Dr. Haim Yassky of Jerusalem,
director of the Hadassah Medical
Organization, in a striking ad-
dress, outlined the achievements
of the Hadassah movement and,
declaring that "we almost hear
the footsteps of the Messiah"
with reference to happenings at
the UN, called- for preparation
for greater efforts in the impend-
ing arrival of tens of thousands
of Jews in Palestine.
Dr. David D. Henry greeted
Mrs. Ehrlich hi the name of
Wayne University. Other speak-
ers were Dr. Emil Rothman and
Fred M. Butzel. Cantor J. H. Son-
enklar, • Mrs. Abraham Cooper
and Mrs. S. Q. Kesler presented
the musical program.
Deeply moved by the testimon-
ials, Mrs. Ehrlich, in her re-
sponse, announced that she was
contributing $1,000 to the fund as
a memorial to her husband. Out-
lining the progressive rise of
Zionism, she pointed to the move-
ment's rapid "development into
larger horizon of service in Pal-
estine." ,

EMDEN, Germ-any, (JTA)—The
continued failure of local British
officials at this camp , housing
some 2,300 Exodus refugees to
heed Jewish requests for more
adequate accommodations forced
the camp committee to 'appeal to
higher British authorities.
As a result of the British fail-
ure to supply an ambulance to
take patients to the nearest hos-
pital 20 miles from the camp, two
women were forced to give birth
in the 'wretchedly-equipped camp
infirmary. When this condition
was again pointed out to the Brit-
ons, they said gnat they were
"sick of hearing Jewish com-
plaints."
Sarcastic and flippant replies to
requests from the members of the
camp committee are •normal pro-
cedure among the local officials.
Answering_ a complaint over the
delay in bringing the food ration
to even the low level of 1,500
calories daily promised by the
British, one official countered
with the - question: "Do you think
food grows on trees?"
Reports froin' the Wilhelmsha-
ven camp where the remainder
of the 4,400 Exodus refugees are
living state thNt conditions there
have also worsened since the fuel
supply ran out and no action was
taken to repl,gnish the coal stocks.
