Israel Excavations
Reveal Remains of
Ancient Civilization
Dr. Lowdermilk
Sees Israel as
Model for Asia
NEW YORK—Dr; 'Walter Clay
Lowdermilk, f or m e r assistant
chief of the United States Bu-
reau of Soil Conservation, has
returned from an e:.;.ensive
study of British Colonial Africa's
soil problems and a sui..vey of
Israel's agricultural and irriga-
tion possibilities. He will return
to Israel in OctOber to serve
for a year as adviser on soil
conservation to the Gov.?.rnment
of . Israel.
Dr. Lowdermilk is convinced
that Israel can and will become
a model for Asia and the world
in full use of conservation.
Coming to Israel from Africa,
Dr. Lowdermilk was impressed
most forcibly by the creativeness
of Israel, "the most exciting place
in the world as far as I am
concerned," he says. "In Africa
the native aspires to be like the
white man and evade manual
labor. In Israel manual labor,
s c ie n t i fically and efficiently
done, is the national ideal. Value
—human and economic—is con-
stantly being created.
"Cooperative villages which
numbered 70 to 80 members a
decade ago and lived a poor life
.on rocky slopes fit only for a
few goats, today number 350,
430, 500 members, and have built
up- agricultural and industrial
wealth evaluated at a million
dollars or more.
"The economic problems of
Israel are many and grave—as
are those of many countries
today. But Israel is determined,
open - minded, idealistic. T h e
calculations of the Jordan Val-
ley Authority are now being
carefully restudied on the basis
of present cost levels and of the
boundaries of the country. The
entire plan, • envisaging exploi-
tation of the Jordan waters, de-
pends, obviously, upon agree-
ment with Jordan.
"Actually water is now going
to waste in Israel. There is a
far greater abundance than even
experts had thought, and Israel
has turned out to be much bet-
ter watered than southern Cali-
fdrnia. Underground water is
now escaping into the sea from
the coastal plain near Haifa—
going completely to waste. These
waters and winter flood waters
can all be used.
"It is my hope and belief that
Israel should and can become
a model for its neighbors, for
Asia, and even the world at
large, in the full and planned
use of conservation."

On the Record
By NATHAN ZIPRIN
(Copyright, 1950,
Seven Arts Feature Syndicate. Inc-)
Believe It or Not
A brother of Nazi Field Marshal von Mannstein, recently sen-
tenced to a long prison term as war criminal, was a Jew by con-
version . . . Authority- for the story is eighty-year-old Professor
H. Levi now chief beadle of the "Shaarei Zion" synagogue at Tel
- Aviv . Levi was a townmate of the Mannstein's . . . As a young
boy Levi staged a Biblical pageant depicting the life of the Jews
in their ancient homeland . . . Mannstein's brother, then a boy of
ten, participated in the spectacle with the result that he was
drawn to Judaism . . . So serious was his attachment to the faith
he now admired that, while preparing for a teaching career, he
nevertheless found time to make a deep study of Jewish history,
Jewish practices, customs, traditions and folklore . . . He was al-
ready a married man when he decided on entering the fold . .
And the young wife joined the husband in his new path.
In time, Levi relates, Mannstein became an extremely pious
Jew . . . Wrapped in a talith, he would spend nights and days over
sacred tracts in the synagogue . . . And frequently he would lash
out against liberal Jews for deviating from ancient customs and
traditions . . . Later Mannstein became an instructor of mathe-
matics at Wuertzburg . .. When Hitler rose to power Mannstein
-was not touched by the foul Nazi hands . . . They dared not touch
a brother of a Field Marshal . . . Mannstein - however was too
sensitive to the agonies and indignities to which his adopted
brethren were subjected by the Nazi regime .. . He brooded over
their fate until his health gave way and he died of a broken
heart on the eve of the outbreak of the war.
German Jews in the Hapoel Hamizrachi kibbutzim in Israel
speak with reverence when reminiscing about the remarkable
convert who was their teacher and guide in Germany . . . It is
interesting to note that when the Nazi Mannstein was on trial he
denied committing crimes against Jews, claiming he was "related"
to Jews and that he had a non-Aryan brother.
Silver Defines Assistance Policy
Community Follows for Refugees
To give proper service and
guidance to the 4,000 Jewish re-
fugees who have come to De-
troit in the years since Hitler
first took power, there are two
major policy questions to be an-
swered, Harold Silver, executive
director of Resettlement Service,
points out.
Detroit had to define "whom
shall we help" and "what form
of help shall we give." This help
is made possible by funds con-
tributed, through the A 11 i e
Jewish Campaign, to Resettle-
ment Service.
Most of the people who re-
ceive support came to this coun-
try on community assurance,
with the United Service for
New Americans acting as spon-
sor. Community assistance is
also given to people who came
here on private assurances, un-
der the sponsorship of the rel-
atives, when, because of changed
circumstances, the relatives are
genuinely unable to provide for
the former DP's.
A list of any family's basic
necessities would spell "what
kind of help we give," beginning
with temporary housing in three
congregate shelters. As soon as
it can be located, permanent
housing is provided for family
units, of three or more people,
since single people and couples
can managed in furnished
rooms.
"Housing is of course the
greatest primary need of new
Detroiters," Silver said, "and
we would be grateful to hear
about any vacant or soon-to-
be-vacant apartments or flats
that are fairly low cost. Right
now we urgently need housing
for' 36 families. Anyone who
knows of possible housing
should call Esther Adler, at
TRinity 2-4080."
So that the family does not
have to begin its new life in
debt, a standard package of
furniture is presented, with the
family's promise not to dispose
of the furniture within two
years.
By means of vouchers issued
by the agency, the new Ameri-
cans select their own initial out-
fit of clothing.
