Dodgers Fail in Effort
To Sign B-G as Pitcher

NEW YORK (AJP) — The

Judge Friedman

James Wineman

The Allied Jewish Campaign
report meeting last Friday, at
the Book Cadillac Hotel, struck
a new note in campaigning in
Detroit.
Added to the tributes that were
paid to the "old-timers" — cam-
paigners of a quarter of a cen-
tury and more, the meeting was
marked by the presence of one
of America's most distinguished
fund-raisers—David A. Brown.
Judge William Friedman, in
an illuminating address in which
he reviewed community develop-
ments, referred to the prominent
men and women who shared in
building the present structure—
the Jewish Welfare Federation
and its fund-raising arms.
Then there was a third in-
teresting angle: the deep im-
pression left on the audience
by the presiding officer—James .
Wineman. His chairmanship at
that session represented partici-
pation in Jewish community af-
fairs here by a third generation
representative of the Wineman
family.
"Jimmy" Wineman spoke of
his role at the meeting as being
the day he has been looking for-
ward to for many years—"one
of the proudest moments of my
life." He said a few things that
proved deeply moving—his sense
of pride at being "one of many
who have grown" with the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation and the
Allied Jewish Campaign. He de-
scribed the progress that was
attained, the foundations that
were laid by "campaign pio-
neers," t h e important causes
that have been and are being
helped.
"Jimmy's" chairmanship was
thrown into additional focus
when he called upon his

mother, Mrs. Henry Wineman,
to report on the results of soli-
citations of the women's divi-
sion. The mother's pride gen-

erated warmth among the
campaign leaders.
Judge Friedman pointed out
that, in addition to himself,
there were three other living
past presidents of the United
Jewish Charities — the relief
movement that preceded the
Federation — Michigan Supreme
Court Justice Henry M. Butzel,
Julian Krolik and Henry Wine-
man. He referred to many of
those present—Judge Charles C.
Simons, Mrs. Joseph H. Ehrlich,
Sidney Alexander, and many
others, who shared in creating
the Federation •and other com-
munity agencies.

Without naming name s,
Judge Friedman recalled cam-
paign experiences. The "old-

David A. Brown

timers" knew that when he
mentioned the man who gave
the first large contribution 40
years ago, in the amount of
$500, it was the late Leopold
Wineman, father of Henry and
Andrew Wineman and grand-
father of James Wineman. He
told how these gifts began to
grow, how Leopold Wineman
(without mentioning the
name) led the way, how his

sons assumed leadership.
And he related how David
Brown led the first large cam-
paign for $250,000—and succeed-
ed; how one man gave 10 per
cent of the goal and another 5
per cent.

Among the amusing stories
told by Judge Friedman was
one about a large mass meet-
ing for relief at which Dr.
S t ep h e n S. Wise was the
speaker. At that time there
already were gifts for $10,00
and $5,000—and they were an-
nounced. And as the gifts
were offered a man rose in
the rear of the hall and of-
fered: "A halben toiler ohn a
nomen"—"half a dollar with-
out a name."

There were some excellent re-
ports at last Friday's meeting.
The women reported that they
had reached 95% of the 1950
amount, the juniors 96 per cent
of last year's income and Joseph
Gendelman reported that me-
chanical division oversubscribed
last year's by more than 3 per
cent.
Abe Kasle, general chairman
of this year's drive, expressed
pride in the work of the cam-
paigners. Rabbi Benjamin Gor-
relick gave the invocation.

first ball at a Sunday twin-
bill at Ebbets Field.
The "deal" for the "valu-
able player" fell through,
however, because Ben-Gurion
will not be in New York dur-
ing the Dodgers' schedule at
home. There remained a
possibility that units of the
visiting Israeli Navy might
parade across Ebbets Field in
a pre-game review.

Padover Decries Lack of U.S. Propaganda

A serious shortcoming of
American political propaganda
abrbad is the "lack of a drama-
tic formulation of an over-all
ideal," Saul K. Padover, dean of
the School of Politics, N e w
School for Social Research, a
former Detroiter, declared in a
pamphlet published by the For-
eign Policy Association.
Dean Padover wrote:
"The Soviet Union's propa-
