Free Loan Fund to Honor Bernstein's 75th Birthday A big 75th birthday present is being prepared for Joseph Bernstein, veteran Detroit lead- er and Detroit Manager of the Jewish Daily Forward for 40 years, when he achieves that mark on Jan. 29. Instead of the customary testimonial dinner or banquet prepared on such occasions for outstanding individuals, a corn- JOSEPH BERNSTEIN mittee, formed for the Joseph Bernstein 75th Jubilee, is seek- ing to raise funds to establish a Free Loan Foundation in Tel Aviv, Israel, to bear his name. It, was Mph Bernstein's own idea to celebrate his birthday in this fashion. Because of the tragic death of his wife in an automobile accident last year, he wished to have no major celebration. Quietly, yet efficiently, • the Jubilee committee has set about the task of providing the spe- cial fund, which is tied up with the I general annual campaign of the Jewish Labor Commit- tee.; Mr. Bernstein has been chairman of the Detroit JLC since 1934. Although Bernstein's name has been inextricably connected with the labor movement and the newspaper world, he almost became a rabbi. He was born in Grodno Prov- ince, White Russia, the son of a writer of the Scrolls. His early education was obtained in the usual chedo- rim, and at the age of 11, he entered the Yeshivah in Slo- nim. A year later he entered the Ruja.ny Yeshivah and was the youngest of the graduates, ages 17 and 18. Bernstein almost continued- religious studies at the famous. Yeshivah of Mir, but the suf. fering and humiliation of beg- ging, of eating nothing at all or of sleeping on the hard wooden benches of the Yesh- voth caused him to change his mind. Leaving for Bialysok, Bern- stein began secular studies, paying his way by teaching Hebrew to private students. This he continued for three years, until he was called to the army at 21. He escaped from the train that was taking him for train- ing, and arrived in Bremen. Penniless, he went to London, and a short time later arrived in America, also without a penny. It was now February of 1902, and, like so many other immi- grants at the turn of the cen- tury, Bernstein found work in New York's growing garment industry. Working a 12-hour day, he eked out $4 a week as a skirt operator. . In July of 1903, Bernstein was married. His wife bore him two children, Betty Wolfe and Gertrude. After much ad- versity, Bernstein came to De- troit in 1911, and soon after a son was born. He is now Dr. Eli N. Bernstein. Before coming here, Bern- stein had become active in the Workmen's Circle in New York. He continued this activity in Detroit, and has served five terms as a board director of the Circle. After little success operating a book store with his brother, Lawrence, he joined the Detroit staff of the Forward, a post he has held without interruption since. He worked with the United Hebrew Charities until 1925, and since then has been a member of the board of gov- ernors of the Jewish Social Service Bureau, served the Jewish Vocational Service, the budget committee of the Jewish Welfare Federation and as organizational chair- man of the Allied Jewish Campaigns. Assisting in organizing the Jewish Community Council, Bernstein has been a member of its executive committee since its formation. In the early years he served as a vice-president. He also is president of the Workmen's Circle Educational Center and honorary chairman of the Circle Schools. Since the opening of. the Home for Aged in 1937, Bernstein has been a member of the board and exec- utive committee, and is now chairman of the admissions Committee. Tito Reports 'Egypt Does Not Want War' NEW YORK (JTA)---Address- ing 60,000 persons at a public rally upon his return to Yugo- slavia from Egypt, Marshal Tito said "Egypt wanted peace" and is not threatening anyone, the New York Times reported in a cable from Belgrade. Simultaneously, the official Yugoslav newspaper "Borba" took sides for the first time in the Arab-Israel conflict, sup- porting the Arabs, the cable added. "Egypt," Tito said, "does not want war. She is saying through us to our people that she wishes to live in peace, that she wishes to preserve her independence, and she is strongly determined not' to return to the past, that is, foreign • domination. She wishes to manage, herself and establish relations with all coun- tries that best correspond to her interests on an equal basis." There was nothing in Marshal Tito's address to indicate that he believed that Israel might be such a country, the New York Times report stated. Boston Leader to Plant 20,000 Trees in Israel.

Sun's Rays Changed Into Steam With Mirror NEW YORK (JTA) — Dr. Harry Tabor, director of Is- rael's National Physical Labora- tory, has invented a one-way mirror which will convert solar energy to steam, thus bringing solar electric power within the range of technology, he stated in an interview. Dr. Tabor, who does not fore-. see use of his method for the production of low cost elec- tricity, believes that it can be used for heating or cooling homes, for making fresh water from salt and for providing low pressure steam for paper production and other industrial uses.
