Shevitz Asks Local Jewry to Prepare For Jerusalem Fight Sidney Shevitz, president of the Zionist Council of Detroit, in a statement to the commun- ity on the occasion of Rosh Hashanah, calls upon all Jews to alert themselves in the battle for the defense of Jewish claims on Jerusalem. Calling upon Detroit Jews to be prepared for action,• Shevitz, while extending greetings on Rosh Hashanah on behalf of the Zionist Council ,declares: "Israel, with its heavy bur- dens of absorption and recon- struction, is not yet at peace. Current proposals of the UN Conciliation Commission to take Jerusalem from Israel and place in under international control is the product of a sinister con- spiracy by the enemies of Israel. Unfortunately, it seemingly has the blessings of the American State Department. "The government and people of Israel have already spoken. They will not willingly give up Jerusalem ,the heart of Israel. Its overwhelmingly Jewish pop- ulaion, with the memory of its recent • bloody and heroic de- fense of the city, will not volun- tarily submit to alien rule. "We call upon the Jews of De- troit, in unison with the rest of American Jewry, to alert them- selves in this critical hour. As the UN Assembly meets to de- bate the Jerusalem proposal we must mobilize our strength, our voices, our prestige, to protest against this planned and un- warranted rape of Israel. - We must impress upon our govern- ment that it must not permit the adoption of this plan which will subvert the American pol- icy that encouraged and helped the rebirth of Israel. We shall call upon you very soon. Be prepared." An emergency meeting of the Zionist Council has been called by Shevitz for Thursday eve- ning, Sept. 29, at the office of the Jewish National Fund, 11816 Dexter. All delegates are called upon to be present.

More than 7,000 Jews from Yemen and Aden were rescued from degradation and persecu- tion and air-lifted to Israel in "Operation Magic Carpet" by the Joint Distribution Committee. This operation was a major highlight in the year 5709, when JDC's world-wide emigration program brought 230,000 homeless Jews to Israel.

"The encouragement of new capital investments in the re- cently formed country is one of the most important aspects of the increasingly difficult prob- lem of immigration," he stated. "The absorption of immigrants into the economy of the coun- try depends largely on the speed and extent of the development of new industries, limited con- sumption in the country as a whole with a corresponding in- crease in production." The Dominion of Canada was TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Bishop established in 1876. Gustav Meinrat, of Cologne, Germany, arrived. at Lydda air- port without an Israel Visa, claiming that he was sent by Holiday Greetings the Vatican to negotiate "der- tain matters" with Israel. The German Bishop, who car- ried a Vatican diplomatic pass- port, was held up by immigra- HARRY & JENNIE tion officers until they were in- structed by the Immigration WEINBERG Ministry to approve his entry into the country.
