Ghandi, Mussolini and others.
Prominent in the collection
are Mr. Grossman's etchings of
Jewish leaders, such as Chaim
Nahman Bialik, Albert Einstein
and Chief Rabbi Herzog of
Israel; Jewish faces .in attitudes
of prayer and study, and scenes
of Jewish interest.
One of his best-known works
is "The Wailing Wall" which
was awarded the Pennell Prize
of the Library of Congress._
His son, Allan, at 15, is follow-
ing in his father's footsteps on
the road to artistic fame, al-
though his work, rather than
being drawn from life, is com-
pletely imaginative. He gave his
first one-man show in New York
before his 13th birthday and has
since had solo exhibits at the
National Academy of Art and
the Brooklyn library. -
His work, like his father's,
hangs in the print departments
of many American museums,
including the Boston Museum,
the Fogg Museum and the New
York Public Library. He has ex-
hibited with the Society of
American Etchers since he was
12, and anticipates being ac-
cepted soon as a full-fledged
member of this professional so-
ciety.

Final plans are underway for
the opening of M-Week, to be
conducted by the Detroit Sec-
tion, National Council of Jew-
ish Women, beginning Monday,
June 6, under the chairmanship
of Mrs. Samuel Wilis and Mrs.
Arthur Rice.
Mrs. Joseph Fenton, who has
just completed a handbook of
Council's projects, and is in
charge of the speakers at the
home rallies, is holding her final
meeting with the group at the
home of Mrs. Jerome Grossman
on Friday, June 3, when ar-

Pittsburgh. Dr. Aronstam and
Rabbi Ashinsky were class-

cine was the late Dr. B. Ba-
ruch, a noted scholar who had

American Imperialists
Eye Israel, Reds Charge

MOSCOW, (JTA)—The cur-
rent issue of the Soviet review,
"New Times," renews the charge
of an Anglo-American "Conspir-
acy" in the Middle East designed
to create a "strategic spring-
board' aimed against the Soviet
Union." The publication charges
"American imperialists, through
their agents in Zionist circles,
are attempting to take into their
hands the economy and policies
of Israel."

Israel welcomes 1,000 refugees
daily. Detroiters must give gen-
erously to the Allied Jewish
Campaign, that the newcomers
may be resettled rapidly.
