dependent on our handouts.
"The citizens of the State of
Israel must defend their new-won
freedom. They ask us to help
purchase the weapons and the
anununition for their war of self-
defense. They are providing the
home for our homeless ones and
the soldiers for its defense. We
are asked only to help pay some
of the cost.
"Our celebration today must
therefore consecrate us to the only
form of enlistment in the war for
the Jewish State of which we
are capable. An American, De-
troit, demonstration for the Jew-
ish State is a rally to give money
in place of blood. For this re-
cruitment of giving we are al-
ready well organized. The Allied
Jewish Campaign now being held
in Detroit is our instrument for
building the Jewish State, and
our weapon in its defense. To
build the State of Israel in Pal-
estine, we must raise and over
subscribe the Allied Jewish Cam-
paign goal of $6,200,000.00 in De-
troit.
Mr. Shevitz urged the sending
of telegrams to Washington urg-
ing the lifting of the embargo and
several hundred dollars was given
voluntarily for that purpose. In
addition, voluntary offerings were
made for Haganah.
Among the numerous messages
received at the great demonstra-:
tion were strong telegrams from
Senator Homer Ferguson, Gov-
ernor Kim Sigler, who named Ben
Burdick to represent him at the
the rally; Mayor V an Antwerp,
Judge Patrick H. O'Brien, Judge
John V. Brennan, Judge Carl M.

U. S. Jewish Birth Rate
Declining, Intermarriages
Increase, Survey Shows

NEW YORK, (JPS) — The
Jewish rate of natural increase
in the United States lags behind
the general population, and
American-born Jews have smal-
ler families than either Jewish
immigrants or native white non-
Jews, Dr. Nathan Goldberg,
noted writer on Jewish demogra-
phy, asserts in his pamphlet
"Population Trends among
American Jews," published by
the Office of Jewish Information,
American Jewish Congress, in its
Jewish Affairs pamphlet series.
The fact that the Jew is de-
nied the same economic, educa-
tion and social opportunities ac-
corded the members of the ma-
jority groups in society,
Intermarriage, the author finds,
is another important factor. The
rate of Jewish intermarriage has
increased.
Other conclusions reached by
Dr. Goldberg's pamphlet are that
Jews marry at . a later age, and
Jewish mothers generally have
a shorter child-bearing period;
that native-born Jews have only
98 males per 100 females, which
indicates a decrease in the mar-
riage rate of Jewish women; the
proportion of elderly people is
increasing; and the tendency to
intermarriage is highest among
Jewish college youth.

. . From Free Zion'

Cable from Haganah
Trio Reflects Spirit
Of Youthful Israelites

A cablegram depicting the en-
thusiastic spirit of the Haganah
vas received this week by Rab-
bi Moses Fischer of Cong. Bnai
Moshe from his nephews and
niece in Tel Aviv.
Dated May 16, the cable reads:
''Who sows blood, harvests
freedom. Due to the martydom
of our saints, and the self-sacri-
fice of our heroes, and not to
the mercy and gifts of other na-
tions, our country has awakened
to new life with boundless hap-
piness and unutterable joy. We
send our love and greetings from
free Zion."
It was signed by Bela, Joseph
and Olga Singer, children of
Rabbi R. Singer who, with his
wife and son, perished in the
crematorium at Auschwitz. Al-
though their American relatives
were anxious to have them come
to America after the war, the
young people insisted on going
to Palestine, Rabbi Fischer said.
Arriving in Palestine two years
ago. Bela, Joseph and Olga's hus-
band immediately joined Haganah
and have been active in the
struggle for Israel's freedom.

IRO Commission
Scores U.S. Role
In DP Admission

GENEVA (JTA) — The insig-
nificant role which the United
States is playing in admitting
European displaced persons was
emphasized at the 14-nation
meeting of the Prepraatory Com-
mission of the International Ref-
ugee Organization.
A report submitted to the con-
ference revealed that during the
past eight months more refugees
were admitted to Britain, France
and Belgium than to the United
States, NNF lane Canada permitted
the entry of 11,500 displaced per-
sons as compared with 12,200
who were admitted to the United
States. The number of DPs who
entered Britain during the same
period was more than 45,000.
William H. Tuck. American
executive secretary of the com-
mission, charged the democratic
nations with hampering the solu-
tion of the refugee problem in
Europe by failing to accept a
plan calling on each country to
receive a "fair share" of DPs, re-
gardless of age, sex, nationality
or working status. He bitterly
criticized the policies of some gov-
ernments which permit the ad-
mission of former prisoners of
war but bar refugees, most of
whom, he said, are allies of the
democracies.
The World Jewish Congress
submitted a memorandum to the
IRO meeting strongly objecting
to any expansion of administra-
tive control by German author-
ities over Jewish displaced per-
sons. The memorandum, signed
by Dr. Leon Kubowitzki and
Kurt Grossman, urged the parley
to call for an open door into
Palestine "as the only practical
solution of the problem of the
displaced Jews."

KKK Again Trying
Michigan Revival

Mid-west Klan organizers, cen-
tered chiefly in Michigan, are en-
gaged in one of their periodic ef-
forts to build up the organization
to a point where it may function
effectively, and even openly, it is
reported by The Home Front. an
American Jewish Committee pub-
liCation. In this connection, the
Klan projects an open campaign
of fund solicitation for ostensible
purposes of combatting commun-
ism and for other patriotic objec-
tives. Chief among those sponsor-
ing this campaign are John M.
Dill of Saginaw, Mich., and Roy
S. Palmer of Kalamazoo, Mich.

Anti-Semite Dies
Henry Hamilton Beamish of
South Africa died on March 27.
Beamish, who was interned dur-
ing the war because of his sup-
port of Nazism, was an indefatig-
able anti-Semitic propagandist.

Detroit Acclaims Judge Picard's
Message on Liberation Day

The vast audience on Central sage from Judge Frank A. Pic-
High School Athletic Field was ard, chairman of the Michigan
deeply moved Sunday, May 16, Chapter of the American Chris-
tian Ptlestine Committee:
"Any American not filled by
the magnificent struggle of the
greatly outnumbered Jews fight-
ing to save Palestine fails to re-
member our own 1776. Two thou-
sand years of wandering, un-
fairness, homelessness, pity and
abuse culminate in at least one
victory—beginning of the fulfill-
ment of the prophecy. There is
no defeat for that kind of cour-
age. All true Christians rejoice
with you."

FRANKFURT. (JTA) — A re-
port published in New York al-
leging that the majority of the
displaced Jews in Germany have
lost interest in Palestine because
of the "uncertain future" there,
and that about 80 per cent of
them prefer to emigrate to the
Unied States, was denied here.
In a statement to the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency, Dr. -Wil-
liam Haber, advisor on Jewish
affairs at the U. S. military head-
quarters, declared that he is con-
vinced that even under the ex-
isting unsettled conditions, the
vast majority of displaced Jews
in Germany and Austria would
emigrate to Palestine when legal
immigration is authorized.
"They are tired of endless
waiting in DP camps and would
gladly sacrifice temporary se-
curity in. these camps for the
hazards of life in Palestine," Dr.
Haber stated.
