Israel which have been issued by both candidates for the Presidency of the United States serve, to ,strengthen the conviction that the friendship between. America and Israel will become even closer and stronger in the months and years to come. - _ • "Our country's support for Israel has always been bi-parti- san in character, and the declarations made during the past week by General Eisenhower and Governor Stevenson have pro- vided striking evidence that this bi-partisan policy will be con-- tinued in the future.- There is clearly no difference' of opinion between the RepubliCan and DemocraticParties on the question of friendship and assistance for Israel." . , This, of course, tallies with the - position of the American Zionist Council, It reprebents the over-all non-partisan attitude of national Jewish movements whose leaders are concerned that aid to Israel should not be curtailed, that the pro-Israel attitude of our Government should remain the offiCial policy of American leadership. •-• ,• Jews, in Ali Camps A study of the Jewish press will prove that we were correct in stating,- weeks before the election, that Jews were to be found in all political camps. There are Jewish Republicans and Dezno- crats and you'll find Jews who backed the Progressive, Socialist and Socialist Lab& Party tickets. Study the advertisements that were inserted in behalf of both parties, and you'll find that Jewish names were appended to the lists of supporters of both Stevenson' and Eisenhower. Locally, the president of the Michigan. Zionist . Region backed Stevenson and the president of the Zionist Organization of Detroit sup- ported Eisenhower, but many Labor Zionists were in the Stevenson camp. The president of a leading Reform Temple was for Eisen- hower, but presidents of other Temples and synagogues were in the Stevenson camp. It is as.we had indicate early' in the cam- paign; the division among Americans is not on racia? but on the same lines as those that divide all voters. That's how all Ameri- cans were divided: that's how Jews were lined up. Dr. Sachar to Address Brandeis Women's Tea- Detroit Women's Committee, Brandeis University, will present Dr. Abram L.

By NATHAN Z I PRI N (Copyright 1952, Seven Arra Feature Syndicate) Preserving a Treasure The announced formation of a committee of scholars to corn, pile, with a view to publishing, an academic dictionary of the Yiddish language marks a major step in preserving the national treasure developed by our perished pebple in Europe over a period of creativity dating _back as long as eight centuries or mere. The decimation of six million of our people in Europe is a calamity which will torture every sensitive Jew to the very end of time. We of this generation who were painfill witnesses to the slaughter have felt its impact in flesh and in heart, but because of that very proximity perhaps we are lacking both the strength and vision to grasp the enormity of the tragedy in. terms of its effect on our future course alongside the world's path. • What has been lost — 10 centuries of Jewish life and creat- ivity on the European continent can neither be reprieved nor replenished. The unique pattern will never be recaptured. A civilization has passed into *the- ages, to live only, even as the dead,• in memory and in monument and in inscription. The dead will not return.. Nor will the culture they built with hand and tongue and piety. .Their song. and legend and heritage, lie buried in the myriads of untombed graves, Devil '.Quotes Scripture • Only this time it was not the Bible he quoted but William Zukerman's "Jewish Newsletter."
