Our Letter Box

Thanks from JWV Women
Editor, The Jewish News:
My deepest appreciation for
your wonderful support in our
recent fund raising drive. I hope
I can express to you the feelings
of the over 600 members of JW V
Ladies Auxiliary who are grate-
ful for the part your newspaper
played in making our affair
known to the public.
The second annual donor lunch-
eon sponsored by the Michigan
Department • Ladies Auxiliary of
the Jewish War Veterans in con-
junction with its 16 units on Nov.
17 at the Book Cadillac was an
overwhelming success. The 850
women, who attended the affair,
were moved deeply as they
listened to Presbyterian minister,
the Rev. Richard Evans, extoll
the cause of human rights for the
Jewish people.
Without the wonderful space
and publicity you afforded us, I
feel certain we could never have
amased such wonderful support
and attendance at our donor.

Community Chest Thanks
Editor, The Jewish News:
We of the 1948 Red Feather
Community Chest Campaign wish
to thank you for your fine coop-
• eration given to the Red Feather
during the entire fall season.
Never has the coverage of what
the Chest and its 125 Red Feather
agencies have been doing been so
complete. Prior to the drive 'in
October, during the campaign,
and after the close of the drive
last month the space that yoli
gave to the work of the Chest
has been large.
I think that everyone who
knows what the Chest is and
what work is being done by the
Red Feather agencies, approves
of the businesslike methods of
raising money and the very real
need for that money. As long as
publications like yours continue
to inform the public of what the
Chest is, we can continue to sup-
port our Red Feather agencies.
Although we did not reach 100
per cent of our goal we did reach
97.8 per cent—a percentage which
exceeds the average for other
Community Chests in the nation.
In addition, Greater Detroit rais-
ed mere money for its local social
service agencies than has ever
before been raised in its history.
Again let me thank you, for
myself, the campaign organiza-
tion of • 20,000 volunteers and the
hundreds of thousands of our citi-
zens who use Red Feather serv-
ices each year for your assistance
in putting the Red Feather in the
public eye.

Questions Scholarships
Editor, The Jewish News:
Webster's defines discrimina-
tion as "A distinction, as in treat-
ment; marking a difference."
We have the ADL and other
agencies to fight discrimination
against Jewish people.
The Jewish News carries a
story about a prominent Jewish
attorney who has established nine
four-year scholarships for Negro
students at Wayne University.
How many scholarships are avail-
able to deserving Jewish youth
of Detroit?
It would have been a gratify-
ing gesture had a similar number
of university scholarships been
awarded to nine Jewish boys and
girls of Detroit.
We are constantly telling our
Jewish youth to be proud of be-
ing Jews. How do we expect our
Jewish youth to carry on when
We endow them with the failures
we have not solved?
It would be of great value if
the entire Jewish community fo-
cused its attention on the 'prob-
lems of Jewish youth right here
in Detroit. A big job could be
done to rake life a bit more
pleasant.
NATHAN A. HUDSON
Editor's Note: Wayne Univer-
sity has available 50 scholarships
open to all students; one scholar-
ship restricted to Jewish students,
and a wide list of student loan
funds.

Warning Against New Year
Observances on the Sabbath
Editor, The Jewish News:
New Year's Eve this year
comes on Friday night, and we
understand that some Jewish
organizations are sponsoring af-
fairs that night for fund raising
as well as diversion.
There could' not be a more
flagrant violation of the sacred
tradition of our people. Even as
individuals we should refrain
from celebration and revelry on
Friday, night.
Most sincerely,
WOMEN'S LEAGUE FOR
SABBATH OBSERVANCE

Secretary.
Legion Exposes Hate Sheets
Editor, The Jewish News:
Over the signature of its Amer-
icanism Commission chairman,
Elliodor Libonati, the American
Legion, Department of Illinois,
has circulated a report on "reg-
ularly published hate sheets, is-
sued to _gullible readers in many
parts of the country."
Listed as examples of the hate
sheets are Showers of Blessing,
published by Rev. William Bless-
ing, Point Pleasant, W. Va.; Ilea-
con Light Herald and America
Speaks, both 'published by Will-
iam Kullgren, Atascadero, Calif.;
The Defender, published by Rev.
Gerald B. Winrod, Wichita, Kan.;
The Individualist, published by
Guy C. Stephens, Danville Va.;
The Kingdom Digest, published
by J. A. Lovell, Fort Worth, Tex.;
The Methodist Challenge (not an
official publication of the Meth-
odist Church) published by Rev.
Robert P. Shuler, Los Angeles,
Calif.; The Western Voice, pub-
lished by Haryey H. Springer,
Englewood, Colo.; The White
Horse,- published by J. A. Dennis,
College Park, Ga.
Typical references to the hate
sheets in the American Legion re-
port are as follows:
Showers of Blessing—"violent-
ly attacks Jews, Negroes, Catho-
lics, the Federal Council of
Churches, and other chosen ene-
mies."
Beacon Light Herald and Am-
erica Speaks—"have printed vit-
riolic attacks against Catholics
and Jews."
The Defender—"known as one
of the most vicious anti-Semites
in the country, his (Winrod's)
attacks against the Catholic
Church have been equally as
wicked . . . He expresses more
sympathy for the defeated Nazi
leaders than for the victims of
Hitler. A personal friend of
most of the anti-Semitic leaders
in the United States."
The Western Voice — "attacks
the usual victims of un-American
bigotry. Beside the Jews and
Catholics . . . inveighs against
labor unions, Negroes, and im-
migrants."
The editors of all the hate
sheets would probably tell you
in stentorian tones that they are
opposed to communism. But what
you have to detect for yourself
is that they oppose communism,
not in order to strengthen Am-
ericanism, but for the sole pur-
pose of attracting a following to
themselves for popularizing a
native brand of fascism with all
the usual trimmings of racial
and religious hatred.
The American Legion, well
aware of this tricky device
employed by the fascist-mind-
ed for establishing fascism
while pretending to fight com-
munism, has reminded its

MOSHE KLEINMAN DI:
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Moshe

itor of the Zionist Encyclopedia,
which is now being prepared for
publication, died here.

members and friends, in this
report by the Department of
Illinois, of the Legion's oppo-
sition to all kinds of subversive
activity.
Citing the Legion's resolution
against intolerance, passed at
the National Convention in
Boston in 1940, Mr. Libonati's
report asks, "What are you per-
sonally doing to carry out this
resolution? What are you per-
sonally doing to heal your
country of the malignant dis-
eases — prejudice and intoler-
ance?"
These are pointed and timely
questions to be asked of all
Americans. And with them may
properly go a few suggestions-
1. Accept people on their in-
dividual worth. 2. Don't listen to,
or spread, rumors against a race,
a religion, or a class. 3. Speak
up, wherever you are, at home,
in business, in school, labor,
church, or social groups, against
prejudice, for understanding.
Remember — that's acting like
an American.
