trations.

sided in Tel Aviv, contributing
his talent and good taste in
printing, thereby uplifting Is-
rael's standards in press work
and composition. Formerly a
distinguished printer in Ger-
many, he now is considered the
dean of typographers in Israel.
His New York representative,

pondence has developed.

Young Pianist to Solo

As the Detroit Histadrut Cam-
paign enters into its third week
of activity, a full executive board
meeting was called by Morris
Lieberman, chairman of the
drive, for 2:30 p. m., Sunday, at
the Labor Zionist Institute, 13722
Linwood.
In addition to regular weekly
reports of the Campaign's prog-
ress, the group will be addressed
by Moshe Bitan, member of the
Israel Histadrut delegation cur-
rently visiting this country.
A second campaign rally to
promote the local drive for
$300,000 is scheduled for Feb. 1
when David Wertheim, long-
time leader of the Labor Zionist
movement, will be principal
speaker. •
At last week's report rally,
well over 100 delegates and
workers paused to pay tribute
to the memory of the late J.
L. Wolok, whose work for His-
tadrut served as an inspiration
to Detroit leaders.
In a short ceremony, Lieber-
man presented a memorial scroll
to members of Mr. Wolok's fam-
ily, who were present on this
occasion.
A summary of reports pre-
sented by division heads indi-
cate that the campaign has al-
ready reached a figure of $42,-
610, including $10,000 received
from a number of landsman-
shaf t en.
Over $2,000 of the landsman-
shaften figure was raised in one
Week by the newly-formed scrap
metal division, under the chair-
manship of Sam Schwartzberg.
In last week's edition, The Jew-
ish News erroneously listed A.
Weinstein as a mernber of this
group. It - should have read A.
Weintraub.
Early reports from the La-
bor Zionist •division, which in-
cludes all branches of Far-
band, LZOA and Pioneer
Women, indicate a 20 percent
increase in pledges from .its
Membership. . . • -
Nachman Tamir, head of the
cultural department of Hista-
drut in Israel, was guest speak-
er, both at the " afternoon rally
and at a preliminary meeting of
the scrap metal division.
Tamir spoke of the vital neces-:
sity for more hospitals, clinics,
mobile medical units in the new
state. New communitieS; • he
pointed out, can not be formed
until prospective inhabitants
are assured of adequate medi-
cal attention. This, he ex-
plained, is the reason so much
emphasis is being placed on the
expansion of Kupat Holim, the
medical arm of Histadrut.

Funds from this year's Hista-
drut campaign will go almost
entirely to the new Eliezer Kap-
lan Memorial Hospital 'at the
gateway to the Negev, for the
construction of a surgical pa-
vilion.

Fourth Verse of 'America' 'Replaces
Formal Prayer in New York Schools

NEW YORK, (JTA)—A com-
promise proposal under which
children attending the New
York City public • schools will
start off each day with the oath
of allegiance and the singing of
the • fourth stanza of "Anierica"
instead of a prayer, - as recom-
mended* by the New York State
Board- Of Regents, was adopted
by the New York City Board of
Education.
- The compromise ended a pro-
tracted conflict in the board on
the Regents'. proposal. which
many educators opposed in fear
that a formal prayer would open
the door to religion in the
schools. Jewish organizations
were among those strongly ap-
posing the recommendation on
the ground that it would have
a decisive effect among the
school children.
Only about 300 school boards
of the 3,000 in the state have

thus far accepted the recom-
mendation of the Board of Re-
gents, first advanced in Novem-
ber, 1951.
The city also" instructed the
Superintendent. of Schools to re-
view the curriculum of the
schools to insure that it includes
"appropriate programs" empha-
sizing "the spiritual interest and
patriotic.rnativations of our pio-
neering ancestors; the devotion
and self-sacrifice of. the Found-
ing -Fathers and their abiding
belief in • the _principles of de-
niodracy."
The fourth. verse of "America"
reads: -
Our Fathers' God, to Thee,
Author of Liberty,
To Thee we Sing;
Long may -oUr land be bright
With freedom's holy light; •
'Protect us by Thy might,
Great God; our. King."
