Parents Receive
Posthumous Honors
For Captain Iden

Posthumous honors, in mem-
ory of the heroism of 26-year-
old Captain Ruben Iden, United

ceived this week by his parents,

medals, all in
addition to a unit presidential
citation for the First Marine
Division signed by Franklin D.
Roosevelt which Captain Iden's
parents received in 1944.
Iden was killed when he vol-
untarily attacked a Japanese
landing party, Sept. 20, 1942, `fat
Guadalcanal, while returning
from an observation flight. His
daring exploit was later re-
corded by Lt. Col. W. J. Bayler
in his book, "Last Man Off
Wake Island."
Enlisting in the Marine Corps
in 1939, Iden was commissioned
a lieutenant at Pensacola, and
saw duty at Pearl Harbor dur-
ing the initial Japanese on-
slaught. At the time of his
death he held the rank of Cap-
tain and commanded a squad-
ron at Guadalcanal.
Prior to his enlistment he was
a student at Detroit Institute
of Technology and had grad-
uated from Northern High. At
both schools he distinguished
himself as an athlete, figuring
prominently in football a n d
boxing.
Besides his parents, he is sur-
vived by three brothers: Sam,
Isadore and Jack, all of whom
were in service.

Mrs. Stanley F. Fleischaker of
2771 W. 8 Mile Rd., daughter of
the late Dr. Leo M. Franklin,
last week was named Red Feath-
er "Volunteer of the Week" by

the Council of Social Agencies
for her outstanding volunteer
services.
Mrs. Fleischaker is a member
of the board of North End Clinic,

Rugged South African Alfred Katzin
Suited for International Assignment

By DAVID NUSSBAUM

Recommendations for the allocation of a sum up to
$875,000 to the local beneficiary agencies of the Allied Jew-
ish Campaign will be submitted for approval to the Board
of Governors of the Jewish Welfare Federlation at its final
meeting before the summer vacation, Friday, June 14.
The recommendations are made by the Federation's
three Budget and Planning
visions
Health and Welfare, cil, Jewish Folks Schools, Jew-

Educational and Cultural, and
Community Relations — whose
nearly 100 members have been
meeting for the last six weeks.
The figure of $875,000 to cover
local services is part of the
formula established at the 1950
pre - campaign budgeting con-
ference held in January and
approved by t h e Federation
board. It represents an increase
of five percent over last year's
local allotment.
Milton K. Mahler is chairman
of the Health and Welfare Di-
vision, whose members include:

'A Jew Goes to Korea'

During its peak days, the camp
sheltered about 3,000 persons on
a day-to-day basis, fed them,
clothed them, nourished them
emotionally as well as physical-
ly, and sent them on their way
to Israel "on the wings of
eagles."
Directing this immense pro-
ject is Detroiter Max Lapides,
Reconstruction Finance Corpor-
ation attorney on loan to the
Joint Distribution Committee,
which operates the camp.
Although Gaeulah-Hashed is
the size of a medium-sized small
town, and has a constantly
transient population, it is so
efficiently administered that it
functions with almost clock-
work precision.
Last March, the Israel Broad-
casting Service sent a special
correspondent to Gaeulah-Hash-
ed to interview Lapides and to
prepare a broadcast on the
camp. The result of his trip was
a 35 minute Hebrew radio fea-
ture, followed by a 20-minute
English program. In a letter to
Lapides, the Israel correspon-
dent revealed that efforts were
being made by JDC to have the
program aired in the United
States.

LAKE SUCCESS—Colonel Alfred George Katzin, O.B.E., has

of Col. Katzin, his career begins to symbolize the world's ordeal to
find peace.

Resettlement Service Explains
New Features of Revised DP Law

Judge Theodore Levin, presi-
dent, and Harold Silver, execu-
tive director, of Resettlement
Service, in a statement regard-
ing the new Displaced Persons
Act, pointed out that there are
a number of changes of which
immigrants and sponsors should
be aware.
One feature has to do with
the adjustment of the status of
certain immigrants who are in
the U. S. on temporary visas.
Such persons, provided they
have been lawfully admitted to
the' U. S. before April 30, 1949,
may now apply for permanent
visas. The qualifications are:

1. They must be persons displaced from
their home countries as a result of events
subsequent to the outbreak of World War

II.

2. They must be unable to return to
their home countries because of fear of
persecution on account of race, religion,
or political opinion.
3. They must be admissible under the
immigration laws.

The procedure calls for the
filing of an application on a spe-
cial form before June 16, 1952. If
the Immigration Service finds
that the applicant is qualified,
they so report to Congress. If
both Houses of Congress pass a
favorable resolution, the appli-
cant will upon the payment of
a fee of $18, be recorded for ad-
mission for permanent resi-
dence. If either house of Con-
gress fails to pass the resolution,
the alien will be deported.
The law fixes a maximum of
15,000 for these cases. Almost
half of that number have al-
ready applied and it is there-
fore advisable for others to file
their applications as quickly as
possible.
Application may be filed at
the Immigration and Natural-
ization Service, 3770 E. Jeffer-
son, Detroit, or through an at-
torney. Persons unable to afford
an attorney's services may re-
quest the help of Resettlement
Service, 5737 Second Ave., an

agency of the Jewish Welfare
Federation ' financed by the Al-
lied Jewish Campaign.
A second innovation of the
new D. P. law is the advance-
ment of the date line. Displaced
persons are eligible to come to
this country if they came into
Italy or the western zones of
Austria and Germany before
Jan. 1, 1949 (instead of Dec. 22,
1945 under the old law.
The third innovation of the
law is the "good faith oath."
This is an oath required of
every DP before he will be
given a visa. This oath is to be
to the effect that the alien "ac-
cepts and agrees in good faith
to abide by the terms of em-
ployment provided" for him in
the sponsor's assurance. This
provision is not intended as a
device to control labor-man-
agement relations, but as proof
that the immigrant at the time
of signing, intends to take and
keep the job the sponsor prom-
ises him.

Ahavas Achim Has
Cornerstone Rites

Cornerstone-laying ceremonies
for the new synagogue of Cong.
Ahavas Achim are scheduled for
11 a.m. Sunday, July 16, at the
building site, Schaefer Rd. near
Cambridge, just north of W.
Seven Mile Rd.
Organized in 1914, Cong. Aha-
vas Achim's synagogue was lo-
cated on Delmar St. for 25 years.
Many residents of the Oakland
St. area during that period are
expected to attend the cere-
monies.
In recent years, the congrega-
tion has held services at the
Rose Sittig Cohen Bldg. The
public is invited to the corner-
stone ceremonies.
