SUNDAY, MAY 8th
Says Harry Cohen
"The Zionist Organization is
Israel's mighty political bul-
wark," declared Harry Cohen,
chairman of the .1949- "Z" Day
in his appeal to the Jewish com-
munity to mobilize and be
ready for Zionist action.
Cohen pointed
out that there
is still no peace
with the Arab
states; the
boundaries a r e
not yet fixed;
there is need for
American gov-
ernmental sup-
port and that
these are some
Harry Cohen of the problems
that require the
full efforts of the Zionist Or-
ganization.
Zionist members are asked to
report for duty Sunday morn-
ing, May 15, at the Rose Sitting
Cohn Auditorium, Lawton at
Waverly, for a mobilization
'breakfast, then to set out on a
house - to - house membership
campaign. Each worker will be
assigned membership prospects.
Michigan, addressed the confer-
ence. Dr. Morton Robbins spoke
in behalf of the ZOA national
executive committee. Consider-
able discussion was aroused by
the proposals made by Lawrence
W. Crohn for reorganization of
the ZOA. Advocating the estab-
lishment of one over-all organ-
ization to include all parties, as
an "attempt to compromise with
the problem of complete Zionist
unity."
He urged presentation of a
plan to the next World Zionist
Congress for reconstitution of
the Zionist structure and to
strengthen the•historic and cul-
tural ties which created the
Zionist ideal.
He also urged the following:
Unity among Zionists in the
political and fund-raising
spheres to be "followed by over- Housing For Baby Supplies?
all control of economic aid to
reconstruction in Israel."
Advancement of Hebrew cul-
ture in this country through the
establishment of Chairs in He-
braic culture in American uni-
versities, fostering of Palestinian
art and music, interchange of
students and the spread of the
Hebrew language.
The strengthening of demo-
cratic processes in American
Jewish communities through
Community Councils.
American youth to be encour-

Service Group Seeks
New Home for Stores
Is there an empty room in
Detroit, centrally located, which
could 'house baby foods, layettes,
cribs and carriages for needy in-
fants and mothers?
Detroit's Infant's -Service
Group, long recognized for its
impressive record of aid and ser-
vice to indigent mothers and
children, is seeking s t o r a g e
space for its backlog of supplies.
For many years, the Service
Group's supplies were stored at
the Philadelphia-Byron branch
of the United Hebrew Schools.
That building has been sold,
however, and a new home for
the stores must be found im-
mediately, Mrs. Ben Rochlen, of
the Service Group, declares: Any
room, approximately 10 feet by
12 feet, which is accessible to the
case workers, would be appre-
ciated, Mrs. Rochlen said.
Anyone knowing of such faci-
lities - is asked to contact Mrs.
Rochlen at UN. ,2-5126.
