Welcome to Detroit, Rabbi Maimon

JERUSALEM,—Tension mounted between Israel and Jor-
dan as the Jewish state lodged protests of armistice violations
with the Israel-Jordan Mixed Armistice Commission.
One of the protests concerned the landmining of an Israeli
truck on Israeli territory by Arabs. The vehicle was demolished
by a blast near Beit Jibrin, in southern Israel, and its driver, a
civilian, was seriously injured. The second protest grew out of
the capture on Israeli territory of an Arab who carried docu-
ments asking Jordan officers to assist him in infiltrating Israeli
territory. The documents said that assistance was requested in
the name of the Jordan Minister of Defense.
In a 10-hour debate on religious education, started in the
Knesset, Moshe Shapiro, in a lengthy address, accused the ti
Mapai of religious coercion, declaring: "We (the religious
bloc) want no crises. We propose compromises which any,
reasonable party must accept." His statement was regarded in
Knesset circles that there won't be any government crisis on 'j
the religious issue, but circles close to Premier David Ben- IJ
Gurion maintained that general elections will have to take
place within the next three months in order to stabilize the
government. (I
Ben-Gurion's intervention in the metal industry dispute,
seconded by Cabinet Minister Geri, has borne fruit. Histadrut

to the workers' claims for higher wages. Settlement of the con-
flict now seems more feasible, particularly as the manufacturers
are reported ready to consider higher rates for lower paid work-
ers. The lockout of metal workers is said to have cost the metal
products industry $1,500,000.
Criticized for Indecision in Settling Israel's Boundaries
LONDON—The United Nation's indecision in settling Is-
rael's boundaries and the future of Jerusalem was severely criti
icized here by Lord Herbert Samuel, the first British High Com-
missioner for Palestine, speaking at a dinner which marked the
launching of the Joint Palestine Appeal in England.
"As a strong partisan of the United Nations," he said, "I
am bound to say that their handling of the problems of the Mid-
dle East with so much hesitation and continuous delay does not
do any credit to the United Nations Organization. He announced

With thanks to the Almighty, with a tremor of profound emotion,
I take this opportunity to greet your Excellency, Minister and leader in
Israel, Rabbi Judah Leib Hakohen Maimon. Our generation has been
especially privileged to witness the rebirth of the State of Israel in our
day, and your visit in our midst evokes the threefold blessing : The bless-
ing that He hath imparted of His glory to men, the blessing that He
hath given of His wisdom, and the blessing that He hath kept us alive
and sustaineth us to this period.

To us you symbolize the s i 'rit of our people, fighting to sustain its.,
loftiest and noblest ideals and traditions through all the generations.

We pray that you may continue to be strengthened in your holy
work,
IRVING W. SCHLUSSEL,

Truman Orders Eliminatiou
Of Bias in Defense Plants

WASHINGTON (AJP)—In a sweep-
ing directive aimed at eliminating
racial and religious discrimination in
all defense and war plants, President
Truman, in an executive order, direct-
ed military authorities in placing war
and defense orders with industrial
firms to include in all contracts a
written provision that all contractors
and sub-contractors shall not dis-
criminate because of race, creed, or

color.

The executive order to the mili-
tary was not an FEPC as such but it
gave the Department of Defense the
authority and responsibility of en-
forcing fair employment practices in
all industrial plants producing under
war contract.

Detroit Leaders to Launch Allied Jewish Campaign
At Special Miami Beach MeelingsTod ay and Sunday

Detroit's Allied Jewish Campaign will be given
its initial push today, at a special meeting of larger
contributors to be held in conjunction with the na-
tional United Jewish Appeal sessions in Miami
Beach, Fla.
The pace for liberal giving is expected to be set
At this meeting by the chairman of the drive, Abe
Kasle; his pre-campaign co-chairmen, Louis Berry
and Joseph Holtzman; the chairman of the Women's
Division, Mrs. John C. Hopp, and the following De-
troiters who are expected at the Miami Beach meet-
logs, today and Sunday:
Abraham Srere, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Tabashnik,
Nathan Epstein, Morris W. Zack, Max Kogan, Sidney
J. Allen, Nate S. Shapero, Jason L. Honigman, Harvey
Goldman, Louig Robinson, Ben L. Silberstein, Wil-
liam Fisher, Morris L. Fruman, Louis Hamburger,
Samuel Hamburger, William Gershenson, Daniel A,
Laven, David Goldberg, Joseph Slatkin, Fred Sim-
mons, Adolph Slatkin, Harry Slatkin and many others.

Vacationists in a number of communities in

Florida are expected to come to Miami Beach for
these advance pre-campaign meetings. The Winemans
and several others are expected from Palm Beach.
Mr. Wineman conferred in Detroit recently with Dr.
Joseph Schwartz, executive vice-chairman of the UJA,
and William Rosenwald, a national chairman of UJA,
and pledged his wholehearted support to the drive
and to the meeting in Florida.

A special committee of Detroiters who are in
Florida has been formed to assure good attendance
at the campaign meetings away from home. Isidore
Sobeloff, director of the Allied Jewish Campaign, has
been asked by Dr. Schwartz to come to Florida to as-
sist in national campaign planning, in addition to
arranging the meeting of Detroiters.

Detroit Campaign Plans

At a meeting of key leaders held on Feb. 7 at
the Jewish Center under the chairmanship of Mr.
Kasle, plans were made to enlist all elements in De-
troit Jewry for participation in the Allied Jewish

Campaign. A conference of Detroiters, patterned aft-
er the noteworthy National Planning Conference held
in Washington in October, will be convened soon
by the planning committee that was organized at this
meeting.
The plans formulated provide for more exten-
sive solicitations, to enlist every Detroit Jew as a con-
tributor; to extend the percentage of coverage and to
assure an increase in the amount of gifts; to line up
all organizations and congregations for special mem-
bership meetings for the drive; to solicit treasury gifts
from organizational funds and to assure concentration
of interest on the Allied Jewish Campaign to the ex-
clusion of other appeals.
At the midwest conference of the UJA held in
Chicago Feb. 4, more than $3,000,000 was raised from
300 leaders who came for the meeting from 16 mid-
west communities. These gifts represent initial in-
stallments in advance of the launching of the 1951
UJA national drive at Miami Beach, Feb. 16-18.
