Allied Campaign's Triumph
Continued from Page 1
Mr. Blumberg, who called
for the evening's reports sub-
mitted by the division chair-
men, pointed to the tremen-
dous task involved in reaching
30,000 contributors during the
drive. Thanks were expressed
by Mr. Goldman to the 4,000
volunteer workers. He express-
ed gratitude for their efforts
to George Stutz and Gus New-
man, who headed the trades
and professions, and to Milton
Mahler, president of the De-
troit Service Group. A word of
special welcome was extended
to Henry Wineman, honorary
chairman of the drive.
Mr. Lurie, who reported pre-
campaign pledges totalling $2,-
586,150, gave assurances that
from the remaining 160 pros-
pects to be contacted an addi-
tional large sum will be raised
soon.
Mrs. Joseph . H. Ehrlich read
a list of family participants—
p a r ents and children who
worked together in this cam-
paign. She expressed satisfac-
tion over "the wonderful thing
of children following in the
footsteps of their parents."
Symbolizing the continuity
of community service from
generation to generation are
Samuel Markowitz, his son,
David C. Markey, and his
granddaughter, Mrs. Leo Ship-
ko. Between them they rep-
resent three gneerations of
workers in the 1953 Allied Jew-
ish Campaign. Markowitz has
been active in the food divi-
sion for many years, and to-
gether with Philip °lender, is
co-chairman of the baker's
section. Markey is a worker in
the insurance section of the
services division while Mrs.
Shipko is a general solicitation
worker in the Women's Divi-
sion.
A list of two generation par-
ticipants appears on this page.
In his concluding remarks in
which he analyzed the results of
the campaign, Mr. Sobeloff made
special mention of two out--
standing workers—Harry Cohen
and Julian H. Krolik.
Mr. Sobeloff pointed out that
a year ago the campaign was
$1,000,000 behind the present
figure and that the similar clos-
ing event last year was not held
until June 30. He expressed sat-
isfaction over the fastness with
which the drive operated this
year.
Mr. Sobeloff and the co-
chairmen joined in commend-
ing the campaign staff—Wil-
liam Avrunin, Miss Esther
Prussian, Al Goodman and
their associates—for their ef-
forts in making the drive a
success.
Rabbi A. M. Hershman gave
the invocation at the closing
campaign rally Monday.
The Women's G-Day chorus,
under the direction of Mrs.
Charles Briskman, was featured
on the program.
Monday's reported total was
secured from 24,263 contribu-
tors. In the 1952 campaign,
27,502 people were registered
as contributors. William Avru-
nin, associate director of the
Federation, pointed aut after
Monday's meeting that of the
•,300 needed to bring the total
number of contributors to last
year's 2,000 must be reached in
the trades and professions.
"We have no doubts," he said,
"that we shall surpass last
year's achievement both in the
number of pledges and in the
amount of money raised."

der the chairmanship of George
Keil, backed up by vice-chair-
men Herman Levine, Morey L.

Mrs. Freeman _Tells
How Her Father
Aided Ford's Venture
The recent publication of the
personal diary of the late auto-
mobile magnate, Henry Ford,
has prompted Mrs. Alexander
Freeman to reveal the relation-
ship between Ford and her
father, the late Abraham Jacobs.
It was Jacobs, Mrs. Freeman
asserts, who brought together
Ford with his two backers,
James Couzens and Alex Y.
Malcomson.
When Ford invented his en-
gine he was working for Jacobs
at 50 cents an hour repairing
sewing machines in Jacobs' Gra-
tiot Ave. men's clothing factory.
Before selling his East Side
Electric Co. to Detroit Edison,
Jacobs a 1 s o employed Ford
there.
Since Jacobs did not believe in
speculating, he referred Ford to
Malcomson, a coal dealer who
supplied his electric firm with
coal, when Ford sought backing
for his engine.
Couzens, ao bookkeeper with
Malcomson, said he would back
F o r d, and Malcomson, too,
agreed to sponsor the venture,
and the Ford Motor Co. was
born.
Mrs. Freeman lives at 20 W.
Chicago Blvd., with her hus-
band, a director of the Bank of
the Commonwealth.

Churchill versus Naguib
One For, the Other Against Israel,
With Peace at Stake in Middle East
(An American Jewish Press Feature)
Who stands in the way of peace in
the Middle East? Will Gen. Mohammed
Naguib, the Egyptian Premier, be helpful.
or antagonistic in effecting amity be-
tween Israel and the Arabs? Statements
on the record may provide the answer to
these questions. And a great measure of
revelation may be contained in the state-
ment of the British Prime Minister, Win-
ston Churchill, and the attack upon it
by Naguib.
Here is an excerpt from the stem-
graphic r e p o r t, quoting Churchill's
speech in the House of Commons, May
11:
"The most important factor in the
Middle East is the State of Israel. Ever
since the Balfour Decloration of 1917 I.
have been a faithful supporter of the
Zionist cause. I have, of course, had
periods of deep pain when shocking
crimes were committed against our of-
ficers and men by extremist factions in
Churchill
the intense and complex Jewish com-
munity. But when I look back over the
work they have done in building up a
nation, in reclaiming the desert, and in
receiving more than 500,000 refugees,
hunted by terror from Europe alone, I
feel it is the duty of Britain to see they
get fair play and that the pledges made
to them by successive British Govern-
ments are fulfilled. (Cheers).
"Fortunately for them, they have
formed the best army in the Levant and
they successfully repulsed the combined
attack made upon them by their neigh-
bors and Egypt four years ago. It is very
unfortunate that no peace has been
made between them and the Arab states,
with whom their fortunes are inter-
woven. Nothing we shall do in the sup-
ply of aircraft to this part of the world
will be allowed to place Israel at an un-
fair disadvantage. We earnestly hope
that the problem of the Arab refugees
Naguib will receive considerable attention and
that the unforunate and peculiarly untimely bickering which has
broken out between Israel and Jordan will be brought to an end
with mutual advantage to both sides.
"I had a lot to do with the interests and formation of both
of those States more than 30 years ago, and I believe they have
both great services to render each other by living together as good
neighbors. I had hoped very much that King Abdullah and Mr,
Weizmann, two men whom ,I knew and honoured greatly, might
have come together, but death has removed one and assassination
the other. Still, perseverance and good neighbourliness are not
policies with which anyone can find fault. Therefore I hope and
trust that the Arab states will come to peace with Israel and I
earnestly pray that the great Zionist conception of a home for
this historic people, where they live on the land of their ancestors,
may eventually receive its full fruition. (Cheers).
According to a JTA report from London, May 13, Naguib at-
tacked Churchill for his pro-Israel declaration. Gen. Naguib,
JTA reports, asserted that Sir Winston's remarks constituted a
"threat to Egypt and the Arab world" and added that "I believe
Sir Winston's wishes concerning Israel are neither earnest nor
sincere." He charged that the British Prime Minister, "stunned"
by the Arab world's support of Egypt's stand at the negotiations
for British evacuation of the Suez Canal area, immediately re-
acted "by praying for the Zionists." Premier Naguib also accused
Sir Winston of attempting to divert "over-whelming Arab hatred
for imperialism to Israel."

WJC Official States Vatican Must
Carry Responsibility in Finaly Case
Responsibility for the solution
of the Finaly affair, the case of
two young children of . a Jewish
refugee family in France who
were irregularly baptized and
abducted by Catholic authori-
ties and spirited to Spain in de-.
fiance of an order of the French
courts, now rests squarely on the
Vatican, declared Dr. Maurice L.
Perlzweig, international affairs
director of the World Jewish
Congress.
The case, which has been com-
pared with the Dreyfus Affair
of the last century in its impact
on Church-State relations in
France, arose from the irregu-
lar baptism and abduction by
Catholic officials in Grenoble,
France, of the two sons of Dr.
and Mrs. Fritz Finaly, Jewish
refugees from Austria who, dur-
ing the Nazi occupation of
France, were shipped east by the
Nazis and never again heard
from.
A Catholic woman, Mlle.
Antoinette Brun, took charge of
the children while they were
young infants. When, at the con-
clusion of the war in 1945, the
boys' aunt, Mme. Fischel, then
living in New Zealand, sought
their return, the children were
baptized, placed in a Catholic
institution, then moved from one
such institution to another in
violation of a French court rul-
ing ordering their return, and
then taken across the Pyrenees
into Spain.
Pointing out that the baptism
was irregular under canon law,

vened with French civil authori-
ties seeking restoration of the
boys to their family, pursuant to
the stated wish of their father
