JCC Opposes Detroit Common Council
Attempt to Rezone Schoolcraft Gardens

Dr. B. Benedict Glazer ap-
peared as Jewish Community
Council spokesman at a stormy
hearing befnre the Detroit Com-
mon Council last Friday on the
question of rezoning the site
planned for development by the
Schoolcraft Gardens Coopera-
tive.
Dr. Glazer, a vice-president of
the Council, spoke following a
statement in opposition to the
proposed rezoning which the
Community Council had sub-
mitted to the Common Council.
The area in question, a 70-
acre tract in the vicinity of
Schoolcraft and Telegraph
Roads, had been zoned three
years ago to permit multiple
dwelling unit construction on
the recommendation of the City
Planning Commission.
On Feb. 15, in response to de-
mands made by the leaders of
the Telcraft Civic Association,
a neighborhood improvement
group, the Common Council in-
structed the corporation counsel
to prepare a rezoning ordinance
and set last Friday as the date

for the public hearing on the
rezoning.
Members of the Cooperative,
in accordance with FHA re-
quirements, were accepted with-
out discrimination on a racial
or religious basis, and among
the 54 member families sign-
ing up for the first units, ap-
proximately three were Negro.
The fact. that a "bi-racial co-
op" was to be erected in the sec-
tion was prominently featured
by a neighborhood newspaper,
and it became evident that op-
position to the scheme was
prompted by race bias.
Dr. Glazer stated that it was
"a matter of deep regret" to
him that the Council should be
conducting such a hearing,
"since it represents a retreat
from a previously reached deci-
sion . . . a surrender to the de-
mands of bigots .. . "un-Chris-
tian and un-Jewish."
Among others appearing with
Dr. Glazer to speak against any
change in zoning were repre-
sentatives of labor, church, bus-
iness and other civic groups.

Relatives Host Israel
Girl, Nazi Victim

KOSHER

Rachel Ganz, a victim of Nazi
persecutions who lost her par-
ents in the Auschwitz camp, is
being- made happy by American
hospitality, during her visit here
with her uncle and aunt, Mr.
and Mrs. Israel Pollack of 4030
Richton.
Rachel, a victim of the Hitler-
ite terror, lost a leg during her
stay in. Auschwitz. More than
that, it was so mutilated that
an artificial limb could not be
fitted.
American soldiers and Israelis
took an interest in her. One of
the Israelis adopted her when
she was 15 and took her to Pal-
estine four years ago.
-
She learned to be a seamstress
and while in Israel scraped pen-
nies and managed to come to
this country, at her -own ex-
pense, three months ago. During
the past weeks, she was treated
for an artificial limb and the
doctors have succeeded in fit-
ting one for her.
Her uncle, a watchmaker, met
her in New York when she first
arrived in this country.
Thoroughly imbued with the
Israel spirit, Miss Ganz says she
is impatient to get back to her
home and to share more fully in
the upbuilding of the Jewish
state. She said she will take
back with her recollections of
marvelous hospitality shown her
in Detroit.
