0 Years of Local Mizrachi Activity
uhninates in Jan. 19 Jubilee Banquet

In 1914, when a small group
f communityites organized the
troit Mizrachi, they hardly
reamed that one day it would
grow into a well-organized chap-
,er of the Mizrachi Organiza-
ion of America.
Back in those days when the
etroit group was one of the
rst Mizrachi organizations in
he nation, these visualizers did
of foresee that eventually there
ould be a full time office. But
his was organized in 1948, can-
er the direction of Zvi Tomkie-
icz, who has continued to serve
s its director.
With the establishment of Is-
ael, intensified efforts and ac-
ivities in the local office have
ained for Detroit world - wide
ecognition as a leader in this
ation in aiding the new state.
Much of the success in De-
roit is due to the splendid co-
peration among synagogues
nd organizations who have
oined hand in hand with Miz-
achi for so many years.
In traditional collections, De-
roit Mizrachi is a leader in con-
tributions to the Jewish Nation-
al Fund, having planted two
forests in Israel in the past three
years. It also leads in the local
bond drive, accounting for 25
ercent of the total sales.
In its offices_ at 12244 Dexter,
there are hundreds of requests
for aid, most of them attached
to thank you notes which were
eceived when the requests for
aid were met. Each application
is carefully checked, however,
before action is taken.
One of the most important
Mizrachi projects is the estab-
lishment of Bar-Ilan University
in Ramat Gan, Israel, which is
the first such university there
fashioned after American col-
leges. The local group has
played an important role in the
planning and development of

this university, now under con-

struction.
In consideration of the many ;
important contributions ema-
nating from Detroit in the past -1
decades, Detroit Mizrachi will
hold a 40th jubilee banquet on
Jan. 19, at the Latin Quarter.)
Dr. Emanuel Rackman, of New

Cong. Gemiluth Chassodim

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
United States Government is in-
clined to give military aid to
Saudi Arabia and Iraq which
are considered potential targets
of Soviet attacks, but has no
immediate plans to provide such
aid for Israel, Lebanon or Syria
since these countries are not in
danger of a sudden Soviet in-
vasion, it was indicated here by
a State Department spokesman.
The question of supplying free
munitions to individual Arab
states outside of the framework
of a Near Eastern Defense Com-
mand is "under active considera-
tion." the spokesman said. How-
ever, he emphasized that no
final decision has yet been
reached.
The State Department official
pointed out that there is avail-
able for munitions for the Near
East the sum of $30,000,000 from
Mutual Security Administration
legislation for the current fiscal
year. but none of this has yet
been allocated.
While it is "known that a
military aid agreement may be
concluded by the State De-
partment very shortly with
Saudi Arabia and later with
&rag, it was reported that
State Department officials in-
dicated they are not consid-
ering any arms aid to Israel
at this time because they be-
lieve "the Israeli armed forces
are fairly well supplied."
The State Department was re-
ported close to an agreement
with Egypt on arms shipments,
but it was indicated that this
project has been temporarly de-
layed owing to violent protests
from Britain. The British want
Egypt to first conclude its nego-
tiations on the precarious Anglo-
Egyptian Suez Canal issue in-
volving British evacuation of
the Canal Zone.
In the British view the Egyp-
tian position would be strength-•
ened by any shipment of arms
from the United States at pres-
ent. In order to arrive at a
solution favorable to British in-

In recognition of his contribu-
tions to the development- of the
profession of executive secre-
taries, he was elected honorary
president of NATS for life.
He was the first executive sec-
retary in the country to lecture
on synagogue administration to
rabbinic students at the Hebrew
Union College in Cincinnati, and
the first such officer to address
the Central Conference of Amer-
ican Rabbis and speak at the
national conventions of UAHC.
Since his arrival in Detroit,
Katz has done research on the
history of the Jews in Michigan.
He has contributed many arti-
cles to various historical publi-
cations.
He is secretary of the Detroit
Branch of the American Jewish
Tercentennary, co-chairman of
its publications and exhibits
committee and was recently ap-
pointed editor of a contemplated
History of the Jews of Michigan.
Prior to his coming to De-
troit, Katz was affiliated with
congregations in Cleveland and
Youngstown, O. ., for 12 years.
