H. M. Seldon Co. Planning
Special Listing Contest

While announcing that the H.
H. Seldon Co., Detroit realtors,
had in 1951 a total of 1,228 sale
and loss transactions amounting
to $15,701,362, Howard H. Robin-
son, vice-president in charge of
sales, stated that because of
tightness of mortgage money
market and the scarcity of
building materials, fewer hoines
will be built this 'ear.
Robinson stated that "realtors
are faced with a reduced supply
of residential properties and an
increased demand for homes,
which makes the number of sal-
able residential listings more
acute than ever."
The Seldon Co. h a s started,
because of this situation, a spe-
cial listing contest, in conjunc-
tion with Cappel, MacDonald
and Co., Dayton, 0., to obtain a
large number of property list-
ing's to offer customers a good
variety of worthwhile property.

A column ago we were the first to break the news about the
appearance of an article by Merwin K. Hart in Brigadier General
Julius Klein's Newsletter. We questioned how a former national
commander of the Jewish War Veterans of America could in good
conscience have given space in his newsletter to a reputed anti-:
Semite. We remarked that the General, one of the top public
relations men in the country, had made one of his worst blunders.
Since then he has issued a statement to the effect that the
inclusion of the article was the fault of an editor who has since
been relieved of his job. There is no doubt that the former head
of the JWV abhors everything Hart represents. We are glad to
note that he intends issuing a special bulletin on the matter.
There is a Talmudic dictum to the effect that an error is
never irretrievable. We are glad that the General is showing the
proper spirit. A person with lesser courage might have defended
his original course of action.

New Light on Jewish Youth

A development that took place recently at a convention in
Atlanta, Ga., of the fraternity of Tau Epsilon Phi has unfor-
tunately been overlooked by the Jewish press. Delegates from
chapters in almost every state in the Union and from Canada
met for the first time in two years to consider legislation and
resolutions for the welfare of the fraternity. Among the resolu-
tions was one which would have divorced the fraternity from
everything Jewish. The young proponent of the resolution was
no doubt influenced by the current movement to eliminate all
sectarian aspects froth fraternities. He also argued that Tau Ep-
silon Phi was a non-sectarian fraternity.
In the course of the debate, marked by intelligence and logic,
the opponents of the resolution pointed out that Tau Epsilon Phi
has always been a predominantly Jewish fraternity and that to
effect the proposed separation would constitute an unconscion-
able attempt to conceal the Jewishness of its members. As a re-
sult the delegates reaffirmed the non-sectarian nature of the
fraternity and at the same time refused to deny the predominant
Jewishness of its members. This incident, T believe, tends to prove
that the assimilationist forces have no hold on our youth. The
delegates—and I am sure they spoke for the Jewish youth of
America—were strongly in favor of maintaining their Jewish
heritage - while at the same time reaffirming their desire not to
be discriminatory toward other people. This development merits
the attention of our national bodies who are groping with the
problem of Jewish survival in America.
