Detroit police are beginning
an intensive refresher course- of
training in methods of combat-
ing five traffic law violations re-
sponsible for causing 75 per cent
of the traffic fatalities in De-
troit last year.
Under a training plan an-
nounced by Police Superintend-
ent Edwin Morgan, uniformed
officers in each of Detroit's 15
police precinct stations will re-
ceive instructions in three viola-
tions of the Pedestrian Protec-
tion Ordinance, which took the
lives of 79 persons in 1949, and
in the violations of reckless
driving and speeding, which
took a combined toll of 57
deaths.
The Traffic Safety Association
has prepared a full-scale educa-
tional attack on the five viola-
tions to support the training and
enforcement program. This in-
eludes a movie trailer on pedes-
• trian safety scheduled to appear
in 160 theaters, radio and televi-

and street-corner posters, which
point up the hazards of pedes-

ists and persons afoot.

Judaism Council
Slurs Halutziut
CINCINNATI—(JTAl— Zionist
efforts to stimulate the emigra-
tion to Israel of Americans of
Jewish faith was condemned by
delegates to the sixth annual
conference of the American
Council for Judaism.
In a series of resolutions
adopted at the closing of the
three-day session, the Council
termed "especially undemocrat-
ic" the Hechalutz campaign to
increase the population of the
state of Israel by creating a
sense of insecurity among Jews
in the United States.
Another resolution described
as "unwarranted and undemo-
cratic" the attempts by the Na-
tional Community Relations Ad-
visory Council and the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee to "re-
strain the Council from publicly
expressing its views, especially
in the general press.
The delegates expressed their
dedication "to the universal in-
sights which are the heart and
soul of Judaism," in the fields of
politics, economics, international
relations and in daily life. In
taking their stand on the struc-
ture and policies of the United
Jewish Appeal, the Council dele-
gates reiterated their recogni-
tion of "the need to contribute
generously to humanitarianism
and philanthropic causes in Is-
rael and elsewhere." They noted
that "the present structure of
the U.J.A. and . of many local
fund-raising organizations is
such that those who desire to
support philanthropy are com-
pelled also to contribute to Jew-
ish nationalist causes, both in
this country and abroad."
Lessing J. Rosenwald was re-
elected to serve a seventh term,
as president of the Council.
