Launch Israel

Dinner at Sheraton Cadillac
To Be 'Eddie Cantor Tribute'

Bond Programs
In Synagogues
Net $165,000

An imposing committee of Detroiters, under the chairmanship
of Joseph Holtzman, is completing arrangements for the dinner,
to take place Monday evening at the Sheraton Cadillac Hotel, to
launch the fall Israel bond drive.
With Eddie Cantor originally scheduled to feature the pro-
gram, the dinner will serve as a tribute to the noted comedian
in the event he is unable to be present. If he should fail to ap-
pear, on doctors' orders, noted stars will pay tribute to him in
"get-well" performances.
Reservations for the dinner are being taken at WO, 2-5091. The
complete list of the arrangements committee, including the honor-
qiry members—the city and state officials—appears on Page 11.

The civic committee on Wednesday telegraphed a message of
good wishes to Cantor, expressing the hope that he will recover
speedily to be able to continue his humanitarian activities.

Cantor Hopes to Be i n Detroit
Next Monday; Dinner to Go on

.

Joseph Holtzman, chairman of
the Eddie Cantor dinner com-
mittee, on Tuesday made known
the receipt of the following wire
from the famed comedian:

-

ond Drive Monday

"Hope doctors will let me go
to Detroit. In any case, the
Israel Bond Drive is so impor-
tant that I urge you with all
my heart to go full steam
ahead with your October 6th
dinner. The best medicine for
me will be to hear the good
news that your campaign is
doing well. Good luck to you
and to all associated with you."
In a statement accompanying

this text, Mr. Holtzman said:
"As you have all read, our
great friend, Eddie Cantor, is ill
in a Los Angeles hospital, where
he is convalescing following his
collapse Sunday evening. It is our
fervent hope that he will recover
in sufficient time to appear here
at the dinner in his honor Mon-
day evening, Oct. 6. His doctors
will decide) later in the week
whether or not the trip is pos-
sible for him.
"Whether Mr. Cantor can be
present or not, the dinner in his
honor must be all the more suc-
cessful. His tireless and dedicated
work on behalf of those great
. causes with which his name has
become identified has obviously
contributed to his exhaustion,
"We must now demonstrate
our deep love and sincere - grat-
itude for all that he has done.
"Our dinner will be, in effect,
a" huge get well party should
Eddie fail to recover in time, to
attend himself—and .while none

can fill Eddie Cantor's shoes, ar-
rangements are being made to
have as his stand-in some per-
former second only in reknown
and popularity to the great Eddie
himself."

Better Business Bureau Seeks
Information on Ad Racketeers

Advertisers as Bait in
Racketeering Swindle

The most shocking example of .misrepresentation and
fraud continues in American Jewish communities which
have been invaded by racketeering . advertising solicitors
who are billing unsuspecting advertisers for insertions they -
did not order.
As a result of warnings published in the last three issues
of the Jewish News, a Detroit merchant, who was "taken
in" by the racketeers into permitting them to use his • name
and his Wyoming address for return, of checks for the unso-
licited advertisements, has disassociated himself from the
scheme. Immediately, hoWever, Humphrey and Tyler ad- ,
dresses have been substituted for the Wyoming address and
the racket continues.
Several merchants who have sent their checks have .
stopped payinent. A number of non-Jews who have been
billed now blame the Jewish community for permitting
this outrage which has turned into a Chilul. HaShem,
The Jewish News again warns the community against
this racket.' We urge merchants to refuse to honor such bill-
ings, to withdraw checks already issued and to report ap-
proaches to .them by racketeers to us and to . the 13.etter
