Local Membership
Drive for Laborites
The Labor Zionist ° Organiza-
tion of America opened its an-
nual membership drive in De-
troit under the direction of Rab-
bi Joseph Miller of Chicago, ex-
ecutive secretary of the midwest
region.
Rabbi Miller recently returned.
from two and a half years of
service as chaplain in the U. S.
Army. In Germany and in Aus-
tria he was assigned to special
duty with Jews in displaced per-
sons camps and received high
'
commendation from Lt. Gen.
Keyes for his work.
The current drive emphasizes
the need for a strong labor Zioh-
ist movement in America to sup-
port its sister organization, MA-
PAI, the Palestine labor party
which is the strongest in Pales-
tine today, and its leader, David
Ben Gurion, who will head the
new Jewish State. In two con-
ferences with Ben Gurion, one
at Frankfurt, Germany, and the
other in Basle, Switzerland, Rail,
bi Miller discussed the needs of
the Yishuv in relation to AmeH-
can Jewry.
The quota of the current drive
in Detroit is 1,000 new members.

British Baptize
Refugee Wards
LONDON, (JTA) — Because
British Jews did not respond
fully to appeals for accepting
Jewish refugee children into
their homes at least 129* Jewish
orphans of some 9,300 who found
haven in England since 1933
have been baptized, it was re-
ported at a meeting of the Board
of Deputies of British Jews.
The children were placed in
non-Jewish homes and were bap-
tized by their foster parents. As
of July this year a new legal
guardian, a rabbi, will be appoint-
ed for the Jewish refugee chil-
dren. -
The board adopted a.resolution,
recommended by the executive
committee, denouncing the activ-
• ities of the Hebrew Legion, a
force being organized in Britain
and the U. S. to fight for the
Jews in Palestine.
Another resolution expressed
full support of the struggle of
Palestine Jewry in behalf of a
Jewish state and expressed
"amazement" at the American
reversal from Palestine partition
to international trusteeship. The
Palestine government was urged
to withdraw the Arab Legion and
the Transjordan Frontier Force
from Palestine and to open a port
for Jewish immigration.
Clergy and teachers of West
Hampstead, a section of fashion-
able Northwest London, formed
a council to combat anti-Semit-
ism and to "foster closer rela-
tionship between Jews and Chris-
* tians."

Rabbis Outline 3-Point
Civil Rights Program
ST. LOUIS, (JTA)—A three-
point program for Jewish con-
gregations to participate actively
in the movement to implement
and extend civil rights was out-
lined here at the two-day meet-
ing of the Commission on Justice
and Peace of the Central Confer-
, ence of American Rabbis by Rab-
bi Roland B. Gittelsohn, a mem-
ber of the President's Civil Rights
Commission.
Speaking at the Commission's
Institute on Judaism and Civil
Rights, Rabbi Gittlesohn urged
that the pulpit relate civil liber-
ties to the basic religious princi-
ples and point out violations of
them. Secondly, he suggested "the
formation in every congregation
of an • action' committee, consist-
ing of layinen who will translate
the pulpit exhortations for civil
liberties into specific action." Fi-
nally, he advocated "the organi-
zation of joint inter-faith civil
rights committees for syna-
gogues and' churches to serve as
of prophetic religion,
Judaism and Christianity to-
gether."
