Sinai Hospital, the fulfillment
of a dream of Detroit's Jewish
community, has already served
more than 2,500 patients since
it opened its doors on Jan. 15.
"With the hospital in opera-
tion just a little over a -half-
year. we have made progress on
many levels including the insti-
tution itself, its staff and in the
community," Dr. Julien Priver,
Sinai's director, reported to the
hospital's board of directors.
Statistics point up the value
of the hospital to the commun-
ity and the community's use of
the institution. From the open-
ing date to the end of June,
2,655 persons were admitted as
patients. Beginning with 50
beds available, the hospital now
offers 210 beds for patients.
On April 21, the hospital
passed a great milestone when
the first child was born in the
ucation; Julien Priver, director; John Mucasy
and Lawrence Koltonow. Standing (left to

obstetrical department which
had been officially opened the
day before. Nine children were
born at Sinai that April, 56 in
May and 77 in June. By the end
of the year, Dr. Priver estimates
that 1,500 infants will be born
at Sinai. Next year, the hospital
will be able to deliver 2,200 ba-
bies, the director said.
On July 1, Sinai passed an-
other milestone when 11 recent-
ly graduated doctors reported
for duty as interns at the hos-
pital, and the training program
began in earnest.
The director reported that
Sinai is in receipt of a commu-
nication from the American
Medical Association Council of
Medical Education which he de-
scribed as "the first step" in the
hospital's program to become
recognized as a medical teach-
in.g institution.
On the Record

They Can Have Him
Is the renegade Zolli, former chief rabbi of Rome who sold his
birthright for Vatican shelter, contemplating reversion to his old
faith? His presence at South Bend, Ind., where he is giving a
summer course in Christian precepts at the University of Notre
Dame, would seem to negate that thesis. His intentions were per-
haps given away by his wife in Rome who is said to have told
reporters that the secrecy attending her husband's trip to the
U. S. was motivated by suspicion that Jewish leaders in America
might seek to influence him into reconversion. Since we can't
conceive of any responsible Jewish leader trying to bring that
meshumed back to the fold, it is reasonable to assume that Mrs.
Zolli intended to kite a trial balloon if she did not in fact mean
to slur Jewish intentions. It will be remembered that Zolli did
not embrace Catholicism while in Vatican hiding but after rtturn-
ing to his rabbinic post in Rome after the liberation of Italy, and
it would therefore be within his character to make or contemplate
the change now that he is away from Vatican surveillance, though
for our part they can have him for the rest of his life.
Some two years ago this column disclosed that Zolli was dis-
pleased with his new surroundings and that his mounting com-
plaints and demands for special favors were irritating church
circles in Rome. When the item appeared in an Anglo-Jewish
paper in a city with a sizeable Catholic population, high church
dignitaries were quick with protest. My information about Zolli,
whose conversion has been a powerful proselyting weapon in the
hands of missionaries and meshumodim, haS now been confirmed
by the reputable Jewish journalist and scholar Moshe Starkman
who, on returning from a recent tour of Israel, reported in the
Day, Yiddish daily, that he had learned from most trustworthy
sources in Israel that "Zolli's prominence in the Vatican did not
endure long" and that he had been "close Jo rejecting his new
faith and becoming a Jew again." It is Starkman's conj ecture-
and I am inclined to agree with him—that the granting of a
summer professorship to Zolli at the University of Notre Dame
was a placatory move designed to thwart intentions that might
prove highly embarrassing to the Vatican.
Though a painful one, the Zolli incident is rapidly being for-
gotten by an Italian Jewry that was at all times baffled by the
intellectual deviations and queer emotional outbursts of its Polish-
born rabbi. Incidentally, the Rome telephone directory no longer
lists Zolli with a Christian title but merely as an academician.
Scoop
The ZOA administration suffered its first serious defeat when
the ZOA administrative committee at one of its most recent meet-
ings from which the press was barred rejected a proposal that
conventions be held every other year, with elected officials hold-
ing a two-year term having the right to succeed themselves. Had
the committee voted the resolution it Most likely would have been
approved by the convention with the result that the present ad-
ministration would succeed itself for another two years . . . Rabbi
Miller, incidentally is a reluctant candidate for the office . . . Ad-
•diets to reminiscing will be unhappy about the coming ZOA con-
yention. For the first time in years a ZOA parley will lack the
dolor that derives from conflict, whether centering on personals-
'ties or ideologies. The only stirring issue may be the question of
abolishing one-year conventions if its advocates insist on bringing
the resolution before the floor.
Good for Jews
In the recent reshuffling of the Brazilian Cabinet there fell
out the name of Horatio Laufer, the Jewish Minister of Finance
whose reputation for honesty was so great that people said of him
that he ought to be tried, on charges of honesty. Brazilian Jews
are not however unhappy over the development for the simple and
:obvious reason that it might not be healthy for a Jew to run the
'country's treasury in the event of. economic strain.. Incidentally,
his Jewishness had nothing to do with Laufer's losing a portfolio
he so capably held for several yeears.

Now interning at Sinai are
the following 11 doctors: Ed-
ward Salem, Howard Jacobs,
John /vIucasey, Lawrence Kolto-
now, Hubert Miller, Eugene Per-
rin, Henry Burko, Frederick
Weissman, Gerald Mandell, Mar-
vin Brodie and Raymond Zbick.
In functioning as a cohesive
unit and in taking its place as
a member of its immediate sur-
roundings as well as the larger
community, Dr. Priver pointed
out that Sinai's personnel had
its first large scale informal get-
together when the staff picnic
was held last month. The hos-
pital is a member of and co-
operates with the Northwest Im-
provement Association, the local
neighborhood civic body.
The director also reported that
much less of the deficit fund,
which had been set aside to help
carry the hospital through its
initial stages, was used than
had been anticipated.
Dr. Priver pointed out that in
July, Sinai was carrying 11
county patients, and was ap-
proaching its goal of 30 such
patients.
