Mr. Krolik prefaced his an-
nual report with comments on
the evening's major occurrence—
the election contest. He pointed
out that an election by 2 per
cent of the voters is not in itself
democratic; stated that "it is
easy to criticize, much more dif-
ficult to act"; and added that
he was frankly concerned how
to induce 30,000 Federation con-
tributors to make use of their
franchise. (Commentary, Page
2, Editorial, Page 4, in this is-
sue, discuss this issue raised by
Mr. Krolik).
. Reviewing the events of the
past year, Mr. Krolik said that
the pleasantest occurrence was
the formal opening of the Dex-
ter-Davison branch of the Jew-
ish Center. He said that the
costs were met with a $50,000
grant from the United Jewish
Charities and $200,000 -from the
1948 campaign.

He disclosed that the Fed-.
eration empowered the Fresh
Air society to buy a new 600-
acre camp site, 15 miles north-
east of Pontiac, for $100,000, to
'meet the growing demand for
camp facilities in the com-
munity.

Announcing completion of
plans for the Jewish Hospital,
Mr. Krolik urged support of the
Greater Detroit Hospital Fund
and announced that drawings
for the hospital now are being
developed by the Kahn archi-
tects.

Referring to the communi-
ty's obligations to Israel and
oyerseas needs, Mr. Krolik said
he feels that "the needs for
help overseas are so desperate
that we have done well to
postpone much of our build-
ing program."

He reviewed at length the
work of the United Hebrew
Schools, the community's health
and welfare programs and oth-
er local activities.

Henry Wineman, in his re-
port as Federation treasurer,
announced that $3,800,000-
73.2 per cent of last year's
Allied Jewish Campaign con-
tributions—have been collect-
ed and that $1,435,820-26.8
per cent—remain to be collect-
ed.

• Isidore Sobeloff, executive di-
rector of the Federation, sup-
plemented Mr. Krolik's report
with commendations of the com-
munity's leaders for their devo-
tion to their tasks. He pointed
out that ft is impossible for
settlers in Israel, needy survi-
vors from Nazism in Europe and

1950

those who depend upon Federa-
tion for support to reach out to
each individual contributor and
that Federation, therefore, acts
as the medium for joint action
in behalf of all the causes it
finances.
In the principal address of the
evening, delivered by Stanley
Myers of Miami, president of
the Council of Federations and
Welfare Funds, Detroit was
praised as "one of the healthiest
and most valuable member com-
munities of the national Coun-
cil.
Myers stated that "this
year will require statemanship"
in dealing with the campaign
needs. He emphasized that the
question in 1950 is, "what can
be done about our entire agen-
da, about our overseas, national
and local needs." He defied the
pessimistic to say "on what ba-
sis has failure been calculated
in advance" and added that "no
one can say that he has given
to the limit of his ability."
Myers urged those who

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Top Is-
rael Foreign Ministry officials
were . reported to be in confer-
ence this week on details of a
new peace offer from Egypt.
The report said Egypt has re-
newed its insistence that as a
condition of peace ISrael must
not recognize Jordan rule over
any part of Palestine. In return,
the Egyptians offer to remain
neutral in the event of hostilities
between Israel and Jordan. The
Egyptians also offer a trade
pact based on the pound ster-
ling under which they would
export cotton and sugar in re-
turn for Israel medicines and
chemicals.
Meanwhile, it was reported, the
talks with Jordan are progress-
ing. Some observers interpret the
Egyptian offer as evidence of a
race between the two Arab states
to gain an earlier, and more
favorable pact.

77 Schools Teach Arabic

language is taught at 77 Jewish
educational institutions, includ-
ing 40 secondary schools, in Is-
rael.

were disturbed over the eve-
ning's election contest to "put
fears at rest that it means dis-
harmony." He praised the pro-
cedures followed and said that
"no matter how the election
turns out you'll surely accept it
in good spirit, for that is good
democracy."
Dr. I. Irving Posner acted as
chairman of the elections com-
mittee in the absence of Henry
Platt, chairman. Other mem-
bers of the elections committee
included Samuel M. Bez, Zeldon
S. Cohen, Albert M. Colman,
Jacob L. Keidan, David M. Miro,
Abe Satovsky, Mrs. Nathan
Schermer, Irving Schlussel and
David Zack, all of whom were
responsible for the counting of
the ballots.
