Garage- nouses Collection Ranging
From 'Superman' to Tot's Classics

By ROSE BIEHL

"Why don't we have a library
to get the kids off the street?"
This was said recently by Fran-
cine Ruzumna, 12, to Joan Rose,
11. The result of their conver-

Right now the main problem
of these junior librarians is win-
ter quarters to supplant the un-
heated garage. They are con-
sidering the offer of Mrs. Parsky
of the use of her basement for
the cold months, on a guarantee
of cleanliness and quiet.
Both girls sum up their hopes
for the library with, "All we
want is the appreciation of the
block and the approval of the
children's parents."
They have that — and their
blessing!

John Dingell — True Liberal

FRANCINE and JOAN

By MORRIS L. SCHAVER
John Dingell has earned it
that every resident of the Michi-
gan 15th Congressional District
should remember him and
should recall the good deeds of
his splendid career in Congress.
There is no better liberal than
Rep. Dingell. He has supported
and continues to support all
worthy causes. He has defended
and continues to defend the
under-dog. He is in the forefront
in every fight for social ad-
vancements.
The Jews of Detroit link his
name with the finest ideals. He
has supported the Zionist cause,
was always ready to go to the
highest places in defense of the
Jewish position, and he has.been
given an honor that is accorded
to the very greatest: his name
has been inscribed in the Golden
Book of the Jewish National
Fund in Jerusalem.

Beilinson Hospital Director Asks
More Support for Histadrut; Warns
Against Rise of German Militarism

Few realize that Germany is
already the winner in the pres-
ent "cold war," Dr. Zalman
Grinberg, former president and
founder of the Central Commit-
tee for liberated Jews in Ger-
many, warned at a press con-
feren.ce at headquarters of Is-
rael Histadrut Campaign, 45 E.
17th St., New York.
Dr. Grinberg arrived from Is-
rael as a special delegate of His-
tadrut, Israel's labor federation,
to aid the Israel Histadrut Cam-
paign. He is presently medical
director of the Histadrut's Beil-
inson Hospital, a member of the
Controls Committee of Mapai
(the Israel Labor Party), and an
adviser to the Israel Health
Ministry'. He will leave shortly
on a speaking tour of the U. S.
and Canada.
"Few realize that Germany is
already the winner in the pres
ent cold war," Dr. Grinberg
stated. "Therein lies the great-
est threat to the world. The
Germans don't believe that they
were responsible for the last war.
They regret World War II only
because they were not the vic-
tors. Sooner or later they will
try again unless we prevent
them from doing so."
Dr. Grinberg called for the
continuance of German disarm-
ament and the subjection of
Germany to a long period of
"re-education according to
American democratic standards."
Dealing with problems facing
Israel, Dr. Grinberg said that the
reason why Israel has no formal
peace with the Arab states as
yet is the lack of greater eco-
nomic help from the "outside"
to strengthen and to speed the
industrialization of the country.

Dr. Grinberg said that one of
the problems Israel faces today
is that of the proper distribu-
tion of population. He said that
this becomes more complicated
when Israel's population con-
tinues to increase at the rate of
20,000 each month.
He said that since the procla-
mation of Israel as a - sovereign
state, the Histadrut has - estab-
lished 256 new agricultural set-
tlements in various parts of the
country.
Dr. Grinberg declared that the

of the immigrants could not be

said that one of the most im-

upon which rests the health of

ing out-patient clinics, hospitals
and maternity clinics all over the
country and now ministers to
the health needs of over 50 per-
cent of the population.
