In Queen

Elizabeth's Honor

Select Two Orthodox Jews
As Coronation Magistrates

To hold the position of chief
magistrate in the year of Queen
Elizabeth's coronation is per-
haps one of the greatest honors
that can be attained by a sub-
ject of the Crown.
Such an honor has been be-
stowed upon two Jews. They will
assume leadership • of two dis-
tinct, yet indissolubly linked
cities, Manchester and Salford,
which are marked off from each
other by nothing wider than a
line of dark cobblestones.
The Lord Mayor elect in Man-
chester is Alderman Abraham
Moss, and the Mayor-elect in
Salford is Joseph Shlosberg. In
both cities resides the largest
Jewish community in England
outside of London.
Both men are orthodox Jews.
They pay each other's city an
implied compliment — for the
Lord-Mayor elect of Manchester
is a pillar of the Higher Brough-
ton Synagogue in Salford—and
the Mayor-elect of Salford is an
Elder of the Higher Crumpsall
Synagogue in Manchester.
First elected to the Manches-
ter City Council in 1929, Moss
attained the post of Alderman
in 1947. Although extremely busy
in his public duties, Moss has
paralleled them closely by ac-
cepting and earning high posi-
tions in the Jewish community.
He was elected president of the
Council of Manchester and Sal-
ford Jews, and still maintained
the chairmanship of the Man-
chester Victoria Memorial Jew-
ish Hospital and of the Gov-
ernors of the Manchester Jews'
School.
Under his chairmanship also,
the Nathan Laski Memorial
Fund has collected over L50,000

U. S. Zionist Organizations Issue
Strong Call for Maximum WA Support

The pressing need for full sup-
port of the 1953 United Jewish
Appeal campaign "to save lives
and to strengthen Israel's free
and democratic people" was
stressed in an urgent call to
their members by leaders of 15
American Zionist organizations.
In a statement emphasizing
that the United Jewish Appeal
is "the main channel of philan-
thropic aid for Israel and en-
dangered Jews," the presidents
of the organizations declared
that "American Jewry must as-
sume the obligation of assuring
a safe and productive haven in
Israel for all who emerge into
freedom from oppression."
They urged all Zionists and
Zionist groups "to assume the

ly aware of the extraordinary
obligations to give priority in
thought and in deed to the 1953
campaign of the United Jewish
Appeal."

role of pacemakers and to set
an example to others both in
the generosity of their giving
and the zeal of their labors
on behalf of the United Jew-
ish Appeal."

Mr. Rosetti emphasized that
"the people of Israel are especi-
ally sensitive to events in Eas-
tern Europe because so many
have relatives in that part of
the world and, therefore, con-
tinue to be deeply concerned
about the fate of both the 2,-
000,000 Jews in the USSR and
the more than 500,000 in the
satellite countries."

Pointing out that recent man-
ifestations of a change in the
official attitude toward the
Jewish people behind the Iron
Curtain have created the hope
that emigration from those
countries may become possible,
the call to action stated: "We
must grasp this historic oppor-
tunity so that those Jews who
can emigrate may find open
doors and hearts in Israel."
The Zionist leaders told their
members that "as Americans

a prominent part in the work
for the Hebrew University, and
has on several occasions visited
Israel.
The son and grandson of rab-
bis, Alderman Joseph Shlosberg
acquired an engineering degree
before he was 20. He obtained
a job with a world-famous en-
gineering firm, but because of
his Orthodox upbringing creat-
ing problems in his profession
(he insisted upon time off to ob-
serve the Sabbath) he resigned
from the firm.
Upon the advice of his older
brother, Jacob, he returned to
his studies—this time to study
medicine. He is esteemed by his
patients, perhaps because of his
great understanding of their
problems brought about by a
serious illness he suffered.
Only a short time after • he
was married, he was stricken
with a deadly disease. Not only
were synagogue prayers recited
for his recovery, but Masses were
also said for him by well-wish-
ers in the Roman Catholic
churches in his district, and
prayers recited in the Protestant
churches and chapels.
He recovered and, in 1933, was
elected to the Salford City
Council. As Mayor of Salford this
year, he will be the third Jew to
be honored in like manner by

Although the people of Israel
welcome all developments
which point to a repudiation
by Moscow of incitements
against the Jewish population
of Eastern Europe, Israel will
not feel , free to relax its vig-
ilance until the Soviet and
Satellite governments permit
full and free Jewish emigra-
tion to the new State, Moshe
Rosetti, Secretary-General of
Israel's Knesset (Parliament),
declared at offices of the
United Jewish Appeal.

The first Jewish refugees
from Soviet-occupied Germany
to emigrate to Israel sailed
from Naples, Italy, last week
in a movement financed by
the United Jewish Appeal, ac-
cording to information re-

headquarters.
