Much 'Leg Work' Remaining
For Histadrut Drive Workers

Detroit's current Histadrut
campaign will formally close
Sunday, March 19 with the tra-
ditional city-wide Histadrut
gathering at Northwest Syna-
gogue, it was • announced by
Morris Lieberman, campaign
chairman.
There is a lot of "leg • work"
too be done in the days that re-
mained, he told members of the
campaign executive board last
Sunday. "Our current campaign
has reached 70 per cent of what
we achieved last year. Our suc-
cess or failure will depend on
the 50 organizations and lands-
manschaften that have still not
reported and the other Work-
ers who still have more than
2,000 unreported cards," he
said, urging all groups to turn
their contributions into the
weekly Thursday evening rallies
which will be held until the
campaign closing.
Louis Levine, chairman of or-
ganizations, Who is on the ar-
rangements committee for the
March 19: affair, stated that
Israel flutist Hillel Rabinadov
will highlight the musical pro-
gram. Accompanying him will
be "Aviva," interpreter of Yem-
enite songs.
Cecil Brown, noted radio
commentator, is scheduled as
the guest speaker. ,
Admission cards for the even-
ing will be distributed to cam-
paign workers, contributors and
members of participating or-
ganizations.
A special. $2,300 contribution
was turned over to the cam-
paign at the annual meeting of
the International Ladies Gar-
ment Workers, AFL, by William
E. Davis, business agent, to
Hayim Sanderson, Histadrut
representative from Kfar Blum.
The contribution represented
one-half day's work from all
Workers, Jewish and non-Jew-
iSh, employed in the industry, to
which were added contributions
from employer members of the
Detroit Cloak and Suit Manu-
facturing Association, according
to Ruben Lash, president of ther
ASsociation.
Campaign leaders also an-

nounced a special contribution
from the Jewish Women's Euro-
pean Welfare., through Mrs.
Jack Seder, president, for the
erection of a clinic by Kupat
Holim for • the special care of
children, many of whom are the
only remaining members of
their families.

ing the week which have al-
ready reached last years' goals

In a stirring addressi in which

support of the Histadrut Labor
Igrael Campaign, Congressman
Emanuel Celler of New York
outlined the achievements of
the Labor Zionists in the Jew-
ish state as he saw them during
his visit there last year.
Rep. Geller, speaking to an
audience of about 500 at-North-
West Hebrew Congregation on
Sunday evening, condemned the
shipment of arms to Arab coun-
tries by Great Britain and stat-
ed that he will continue the
fight to secure a reversal of the
policy established by the State
Department approving such
arms shipments.
Declaring that most of the
newcomers to Israel "will be
turned into workers enriching
the lifestream of Israel," Rep.
Celler said:

"Only Histadrut can bring
that acclimatization through
its education and cultural ac-
tivities, through its vocational
and training schools, through
its health and social services.
The responsibility falls upon
Histadrut as well to save and
expand the collective settle-
ments. , There is a dearth of
personnel • and equipment in
these settlements. The strength
of pioneer Israel lies in these
collective settlements to which
the chalutzim gave the years
of their lives so that one day
Israel, free and self-sustain-
ing, will march in liberty with
the free nations of the world.
If these settlements are per-
mitted to • lapse, to dissipate
themselves, an integral and
indispensable part of Israel
will be lost. The collective set-
tlement is being watched, with
singular interest by the poli-
tical and social scientists all
over the world. The collective
settlement has proven, they
believe, that communal endea-

Penicillin to Romania

TEL AVIV—USD—Israel has
exported 300,000 vials of inject-
a b 1 e crystalline penicillin to
Romania in the last. two months.

Dr. Israel Goldstein, former
treasurer of the Jewish Agency
for Palestine, who recently again
visited in Israel, told two De-
troit gatherings that the plans
for 1950 are to bring 150,000
more Jews to the Jewish state
— provided • that 50,000 more
housing units can be built at a
cost of. $2,000 each.
"If we can not build these
homes, we may have to restrict
immigration," he warned. "This
is the last thing in the world
that ought to be done in Israel.
If it will be done, YOU will be
doing it." He emphasized that
the responsibility for continued
work in Israel lies with the Jews
of the United States and made
strong appeals for increased ef-
fort for the United Jewish Ap-
peal.

ments, the laying of water pipes,
the integration of new settlers,
serve as proof that the money
raised by the Jews of America
is not unproductive, he stated.
"You have something to show
for it," he said, and added that
"Jews should show greater ex-
hilaration over the UJA cam-
paigns and the resulti they
achieve."

Purim Observance

manship of Julian H. Krolik. In
the evening he spoke to a large
gathering at the Shaarey Zedek,
under auspices of the Zionist
Organization, whose local presi-
dent, Leon Kay, presided.
Stating that "we are liquid-
ating one miserable galut after
another, Dr. Goldstein described
the manner in which Jews are
being brought to Israel and how
homes are being created for
them. He pointed out that of
the 360,000 Jews who came to
Israel in the last 20 months only
90,000 are now in camps and
that the building of new homes
is proceeding at a rapid pace.
The building of new settle-

'Israel Taxpayers Need Help

Dr. Goldstein pointed out that
there are 175,000 taxpayers in
Israel and that this small num.
ber carries on the brunt of
construction work. He declared
that there is a severe dollar
crisis in Israel, that the new
state must have gift and in-
vestment dollars to get by, that
the people .are having a -tougft
time and that the miracle Of
1948 must be repeated both in
establishing security against
outside threats and in providing
the necessary funds for state
building.
In his address to the Shaarey
Zedek audience, Dr. Goldstein
condemned the shipping of arms
to the Arabs and approval of ,
arms sales by Britain given by
the U.S. State Department. He
charged that the shipment of
heavy arms to Egypt does not
represent a security measure
but that it means preparation
for war against Israel. He urged
that Ametican citizens should
protest against such arms sales
and shipments in the best in-
terests of world peace. T h e
gathering adopted a resolution,
read by Lawrence Crohn, pro-
testing to the State Departmtnt
against its action in favor of
arms shipments to the Arabs.
