Friday, March 12, 1948 THE JEWISH NEWS Detroiters Study Dachau Marker Did Truman Use Bevin Language?

During his absence his daughter, Ruth, and her friend, on Jews' of New York NEW YORK (Palcor)—Wash- ington columnist Drew Pearson reported the following incident in the White House: "President Truman was talk- ing to a New York publisher about Palestine. Pounding the desk he made the following re- marks about 'the ... New York Jews'. ' " 'They're disloyal to their country. Disloyal!! he. cried. `Would you explain that further, Mr. President?' interrupted the publisher, whose wife happens to be Jewish. " 'When you speak of New York Jews are you referring to Dachau, which was the site of a concentration camp where such people as Bernard Baruch?_ hundreds of thousands of the victims of the Nazis were tortured and Or are you referring to such died, was visited by the United Jewish Appeal delegation which New York Jews as my wife?' studied the conditions of Jewish 'life in Europe and Palestine in con- Truman glared, assured his vis- junction with the $250,000,000 "Destiny Campaign" of the UJA. itor he did not mean to include Joseph Holtzman (left) and Louis Berry of Detroit are shown at a Baruch or the publisher's wife— marker to those who died at Dachau.

I Our Letter Box I Rep. Isacson Described As a Devoted Zionist Editor, The Jewish News: That was an excellent piece you did in your Purely Com- inentary column on the Isacson election—courageous and exhib- iting a deep insight into the back- ground of the entire political picture vis-a-vis the Palestine situation. I would like to take this op- litwrtunity to bring to your atten- tion a few facts concerning Isacson, with whom I had the pleasure of working while I was associate director of the Bronx Zionist Region. Although Al- fange, the Liberal Party candi- date, was a leader of- the Amer- ican Christian Palestine Commit- tee, Isacson was president of the Moshulu Zionist- District during the past year and co-chairman of the Young Zionist Committee of the Bronx Zionist Region. In both capacities he was tremen- dously helpful to the moveme_nt in the Bronx. He devoted a great deal of time and energy io the formation of Young Zionist Dis- tricts, of which there are now 12 in the Bronx, more than in any. other single community in the United States. Isacson was always available for speaking engagements, and in several cases was instrumental through his talks in salvaging groups which were about to disinte- grate. As a result of a great deal of personal association with him, I can state categorically that he is not a Communist; on the con- trary, he is the very epitome of what an independent candidate should be, cutting across all party lines to take the position he feels that he and his con- stituents most favor. I personally feel that it was his Zionist background, plus his independence, an established fac- tor in the Bronx, which won him the election. As you stated, the voters felt that Isacson would most effectively represent their protest on the Palestine issue. With Zion's Greetings, SAUL GOTTLIEB, Regional Director, Michigan Zionist Region. .

Irving Grant, in his book "James Madison," a Bobbs publica- tion, relates that Haym Solomon, the Jewish financier who financed Madison in the inflation of 1781 obstinately rejected all recompense ... Madison once said of Solomon: "The price of money is so usurious that he thinks it ought not be extorted from none but those who aim a‘profitable speculation. To a necessitous delegate he gratuitiously spares a supply out of his private stock." ... Quite a slap at those who would question the patriotism of the Jewish financiers in the days of the Revolution. - James N.
