Complete Needed Hospital FuRds

Wineman Accepts
Honorary Position
In 1951 Campaign
By MELVILLE S. WELT
Campaign Chairman, Jewish Hospital D:vision
I have met with the representatives of the Greater De-
troit Hospital Fund, and have been advised that they are
about $1,000,000 short of their goal.
In our conversations, they indicated that
Continuing a history of ser-
their only source of additional funds would vice to the Allied Jewish Cam-
be the Jewish Hospital Division and the paign, unbroken since he headed
Oakland Campaign. Their records show that the first united Jewish corn-
, our Jewish community of Detroit has con-
tributed $710,000 toward our quota of $1,-
000,000, and they are depending a great deal
on our raising the additional $300,000 to
complete our portion of the Campaign. ,Re-
m. S. Welt member : the Jewish Hospital will receive a
$2,500,000 allocation from the Greater Detroit Hospital Fund
when it completes its drive.
I have discussed this problem with Max
Osnos, president of our board, and it is our•mutual feeling
that the responsibility to make our phase of this Campaign
a success lies with the entire community. We cannot afford
failure.

NCRAC Condemns Communation
Of Nazi Criminals' Sentences
Direct JTA Teletype Wires
to The Jewish News
The recent
clemency actions by U. S. auth-
orities in Germany, resulting in
the commutation of the sent-
ences of 89 Nazi war criminals,
represent a "mistaken tender-
ness toward the perpetrators of
mass murder and other heinous
crimes against humanity and
democratic society," major Jew-
ish organizations declared in a
letter to Secretary of State
Acheson.
The letter was released to the
press by the National Commu-
nity Relations Advisory Council,
the coordinating body for the
American Jewish Committee,
American Jewish Congress, Bnai
Brith, Jewish Labor Committee,
Jewish War Veteran s, the
Union of Amer i c an He-
brew Congregations and 27 local
Jewish community councils
throughout the country, includ-
ing Detroit's.
"In granting these commuta
tions," the. Jewish organizations
wrote, "expediency appears to
have been a factor in seeking
the appropriation of these Ger-
man elements whose devotion to
democracy is justifiably sus-
pect." The commutations are
"dangerous," the letter to Sec-
retary Acheson says, in that
they "tend to throw into doubt
the entire basic procedure, and
judgments of the 12 trials con-
ducted by six U. S. Military tri-
bunals at Nuremberg."
Declaring that the commuta-
tions were "obviously intended
to placate German opinion in
the effort to make Western
Germany a bulwark against the

Edison Progress Report
Southeastern Michigan's busi-
est year is reflected in the De-
troit Edison Company's 1950 re-
port to stockholders.
Unprecedented industrial pro-
duction volume has in 1950
brought high employment and
accelerated commercial enter-
prise throughout the metropoli-
tan Detroit area, the newly-
issued annual report notes.
In it, Prentiss M. Brown, Edi-
son board chairman, and James
W. Parker, president, point out
that this large volume of busi-
ness has brought new high re-
quirements -for electric service
from the Edison Company. They
predict still greater power use
as the result of industrial plant
conversions arising from the
Korean crisis.
Brown and Parker also em-
phasize that the company is
proceeding rapidly to provide for
all foreseeable electricity needs,
both for peace and defense.

the letter warned that such a
policy of "expediency" does not
"accomplish its purpose and us-
ually leads to other evils." The
United States "cannot safely
copy the Soviet Union's tech-
nique of currying favor with
former Nazi leaders," the Jewish
groups added.
