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." Food Council's Leaders The food council division, un- der the chairmanship of George Keil, backed up by vice-chair- men Herman Levine, Morey L. Rosenthal, Abraham Borman and Max Shaye, was among the campaign. leaders. Charles Milan was associate chairman who assisted Keil. Tom Borman and Paul Zucker- man are pre-campaign associate chairmen.

Friday, May 22, 1953 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.

Legation Opened hi, Finland Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News 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."

Levine 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, Dr. Perlzweig, who has inter- vened with French civil authori- ties seeking restoration of the boys to their family, pursuant to the stated wish of their father 8—DETROIT JEWISH N EWS I Rabbi Adler to Conclude Congress Institute; Shevitz Is Election Speaker Honor Roll, Family Participation In 1953 Allied Jewish Campaign
