1k. Kleinman Confers With Haber
In Munich on Conditions of DPs
MUNICH—DR. SHMARYA KLEINMAN (left), member of the
Board of the Jewish Welfare Federation of Detroit and a representa-
tive of the Jewish Labor Committee, discusses the problems and
conditions existing for the Jewish displaced persons with SAMUEL
HABER, director of Joint Distribution Committee operations in the
U. S. Zone of Germany. Dr. Kleinman is on a tour of DP camps in
Germany and Italy. The JDC is a major 'beneficiary of the 1948
Allied Jewish Campaign and a large percentage of the funds col-
lected in the Detroit drive are used to aid the DPs in Europe.
The immediate necessity for
rapid liquidation of the DP camps
in Germany was stressed by Dr.
Shmarya Kleinman, board meTh-
ber of the Detroit Jewish Wel-
fare Federation, who is touring
the DP centers of Germany and
Italy, in a letter to the Jewish
News.
"One reason (for the' liquida-
tion) I must mention," Dr. Klein-
man wrote, "and that is that due
to the international political situ-

gram chairman of the Junior
Service Group and chairman of

of the newly-elected board held
Wednesday evening, June 16.
Also recognized for their out-
standing work for • the group

William Shapiro who were

ation and to our American policy
in Germany the DPs becarrie a
sore eye for our military com-
mand and for the Germanpopula-
tion.
"Whether we agree with it or
not, a central German govern-
ment will be established in the
near future and one of the things
that will probably happen is that
the DP camps will be under the
control of that German govern-
ment. No matter what good inten-
tions this government will have,
it will be a tragedy for those who
will remain in the, camps, if they
will be controlled-by the German •
government."
Like many other visitors to
the DP. camps, Dr. Kleinman re-
ports that the remnant of Euro-
pean. Jewry is "very alert and
very active, and a naturally,' in-
telligent lot. They are agressive,
rather quarrelsome, but physi-
cally, mentally they represent
people who, in the opinion of
sociologists and psychologists, as
well as medical men, can be inte-
grated in any community and
become an active part of it."
"The creation of the state of
Israel -brought a new wave of
enthusiasm," Dr. Kleinman wrote
further. "The registration for
Palestine is naturally very high
and the demobilization brought
a large figure of volunteers for
the Army of Israel." Many DPs
still wish to come to the United
States, Dr. Kleinman stated, add-
ing that "there are many . . .
whose patience is coming to an
end. Their emigration. into other
countries outside • of Palestine
should be facilitated at any
costs."
Dr. Kleinman, in his letter,
also commented on the- passing
of Fred Butzel. "We lost a leader
and a wonderful man," he said.
"There isn't anybody who can
replace him."

Juniors to Clean Up Final
Prospect Slips on Sunday
Anyone who has not had an
opportunity before this to par-
ticipate as a worker in the 1948
Alilied Jewish Campaign and
who would like to make an im-
portant contribution to two or
three hours is invited to join in
`Operation Completion,' the one-
day campalgn sponsored by the
Junior Division in an effort to
cover remaining slips in the Di-
vision, according to Shirley.
Simoils, chairman of the one-
day drive.
Although the slips are in the
Junior Division, many of them
represent people in trade, and
professional groups who for one
reason or another cannot be
reached through their trade ; or-
ganizations, Miss Simons said,
and the worktrs would welcome
the help. of senior division men
or women who would like to
cover anywhere from two to ten
slips on Sunday.
Beginning with a breakfast at
9:30 a. m. \at the Rose Sittig. Co-
hen building when 'Operation
Completion' workers will hear a
talk by Joseph Holtzman, Real
Estate and Building Council
leader who toured Europe and
Palestine this winter, the "cam-
paign on foot" will be directed
toward Jewish population neigh-
borhoods — near Twelfth St.,
Dexter, Linwood and the north-
west section. • Workers will be
asked to take slips which are
located near one another so that
•no one will have to cover a large
area on Sunday.
Nearly 200 young- adults have
already registered for participa-
tion in the drive, but there are
many slips to cever and as many
yeople who are willing to work
will be needed, Miss Simons em-
phasized. In order, to facilitate
arrangements for the day, inter-
ested volunteers are asked to call
Helen Alpert' at Allied Jewish
Campaign headquarters, WO.
5-3939. Last-minute participants
will be welcomed at the Rose
Sittig Cohen Buildinfi Lawton at
Tyler. .
Tillie Feinbloom is in charge
of refreshments and other ar-
rangements for the day.
