More than 750 friends of the
Detroit Palestine Histadrut Labor
drive filled Brown Memorial
▪
Chapel of Temple Beth El to over-
flowing on Sunday evening to
herald the opening of the 1948
Gewerkshaften drive, and demon-
strated their solidarity with labor
Palestine by subscribing in ad-
vance a $65,000 emergency loan
to Histadrut. - The loan will be
repaid -with gifts to the drive in
the next-60 days.
The spontaneous response came
after a stirring appeal by Isaac
Hamlin, national secretary of the
Gewerkshaften drives, who called
for mobilization of -American
Jews in the war against the forces
of reaction in the Middle East in
the same fashion that Americans .
mobilized for war after the Pearl
Harbor attack. He exposed the
Mufti's war of reaction against
world Jewry and the Jewish state
and declared that Histadrut youth,
constituting from 80 to 90 per
cent of Haganah's -manpower,.
have "left the plow with which
they conquered the Negev to
take up the gun to defend every
outpost."
Mr. Hamlin challenged Amer-
ican friends of Histadrut W sup-
ply the funds necessary for the
purchase of armored . cars and
trucks to protect the lifelMes to
the Jewish settlements; for planes
, to bring food to the colonies; for
the 'building of a new Histadrut
hospital in the Negev 'and to care
for surviving relatives of Histad-
rut members who fell in battle
in defense of Jewish positions.
In addition to the $65,000 sub-
scribed as a loan, Morris Schaver,
honorary chairman of the drive,
presented Mr. Hamlin with a
check for $25,000 as an advance
from a small group of Histadrut
friends.
• It was announced that an
emergency Histadrut - confer-
ence has been called for Jan:
18 and Detroit delegates are be- -
lug assigned to attend the par-
ley. It is expected that $1,000,-
000 will be sent to Palestine by
Histadrut from that confer-
ence to be held in New York.
Harry Schumer, campaign
chairman, gave assurance that the-
1948 Detroit Campaign would
raise no less than $250,000, an in-
crease of $100,000-over the previ-'
ous year. He • reported that ad-
vance . contributions to the Cam-
paign were double and three
times, last year's.
Miss Helen Waren, former
Broadway actress, an official. of
Americans for Haganah, told the
audience that in, the present vio-
lence, Great Britain is actually
hampering the defense efforts of
Haganah. She continued, "We
must show them that we have
covered our hearts with steel and
that we -stand shoulder to shoul-
der with . the Haganah"; and de-
clared that "Histadrut gave birth
to Haganah. Haganah defends
( - what belings collectively to the
Jews." •
