His Dreams Realized

Joseph. A. Zechman, 70,
Rejoices in Success
Of Zionist Movement

At 70, after a .lifelong • interest
in Zionism and Jewish affairs, Jo-
seph. A. Zachman is one of the
happy witnesses of the drama
marking the realization of Israel's
dreain8 and aspirations.
Actually, Mr. Zechman is near-
ing. the end of his 70th year—he
will be 71 on Sept. 20. Born in
TOrogan, province of Kowno,

a press conference Tuesday by
Dr. Jorge Garcia Granados,
Guatemalan delegate to the UN,
prior to his departure for the
UN sessions. Dr. Granados, au-
thor of "The Birth of Israel," to
be published in this country next
month, emphasized that he con-
siders the Palestine case "settled
in principle." He expressed his
conviction that eleventh hour at-
tempts to revise the UN parti-
tion decision will not be success-
ful, Ithat a fundamental revision
will fail to win the necessary
two-thirds majority and said:
"There are two goals which I
consider most essential for this
sessio:i of the General Assembly:
1. That the UN achieve a lasting
peace in the Middle East and
make the Arabs understand that
any attempt to violate it will not
be tolerated; and 2. That Israel
be admitted into the world or-
ganization. Israel can survive
alone. I do not think its member-
ship in the UN is a matter of life
and death for the new state.
Nevertheless I believe that ad-
mission -to the world organiza-
tion will promote stability and
democratic progress in Pales-
tine."
Acting in conformity with
Israeli recruiting regulations, the
Israeli Consul General, Arthur
Lowrie, Tuesday announced the
recalling from the United States
of all Israeli citizens and per-
manent residents in the follow-
ing categories: Men born be-
tween 1908 and 1930 and women
born between 1920 and 1930, not
married, or married with chil-
dren. All who fall into these cate-
gories must return to Israel im-
mediately. Excluded from this
order are students who have
completed thfee years of study
in medicine, pharmacology, vet-
erinary subjects, agriculture and
engineering, or essential indus-
trise which are not taught in
Israel. Persons who wish to ap-
ply for release must address
themselves in writing to the Con-
sulate General in New York.

Community Chest
Savings Banks Aid
Red Feather Drive

The Community Chest Cam-
paign is this year inaugurating a
brand new idea to enable givers
to make their donations without
upsetting their weekly budgets.
The new idea is a Red Feather
Savings Bank for Detroit area
householders. /
Brilliantly decorated with the
symbol of the Red Feather and
describing how the nickels, dimes
and quarters dropped into the
bank can grow, the bank is to
be distributed to every home in
the Greater Detroit area by Boy
Scouts during the next two
weeks.
Banks will be given free to
householders and there is no
obligation when the housewife
accepts them. They will serve
as a reminder that the 1948 Red
Feather Drive will soon be on.
The Banks will provide a place
to drop those loose coins that
will never be missed but which
will help the 125 Red Feather
agencies serve the people of the
community for another year.
Uniformed Boy Scouts are not
allowed to handle monies of any
kind. They will only make the
deliveries. The Banks will be
picked up during the Commun-
ity Chest • Campaign between
Oct. 26 and Nov. 17 by Red
Feather volunteer workers.
The goal for the 1948 Red
Feather Community Chest Cam-
paign is $5,975,000, Edward T.
Gus he e, • chairman, has an-
nounced.
