American Legion Urged to Act in
Israel's Behalf at Dinner of JWV
A testimonial dinner given by
the Jewish War Veterans' Mich-
igan Department in honor of J.
Addington Wagner, of Battle
Creek, national commander of
the American Legion, Tuesday
evening, at the Veterans' Mem-
orial Building, was utilized by
Detroit Jewish leaders to ap-
peal for American aid to Israel
in the Jewish State's defensive
struggle for existence.
• Harry T. Madison, past na-
tional commander of the Jewish
War Veterans, introduced the
subject in an address in which
he presented a point-by-point
analysis of the Middle East's
crisis, Israel's struggle to sur-
vive and the infiltration of
Communists into the area.
His appeal to Mr. Wagner
that he should let -his voice
be heard in Israel's behalf
was seconded by subsequent
speakers Rabbi Morris Ad-
ler, Dr. Richard C. Hertz and
Walter Klein, who presided.
Greeting Mr. Wagner in be-
half of tens of thousands of De-
troit Jews, since he was speak-
ing as vice-president of the
Jew is h Community Council,
Rabbi Adler pointed out to the
American Legion's commander
that "the Middle East is a test
case," that it is "a moral ques-
tion testing the fiber of the free
world."
"Those who fought in the war
should speak out positively that
the battle for freedom is always
our battle," Rabbi Adler de-
clared. "There need be no war.
God grant that there will be
no war. If this country speaks
out, the dangers will be less-
ened."
Dr. Hertz, who presented -Mr.
Wagner with an Israel - made
Menorah as a gift from the
Jewish War Veterans, stated
that "there can be no peace for
the world as long as there is
no peace for Israel, and vice
versa, there can be peace for
Israel as long as there is no
peace for the world." He ex-
pressed the hope that Mr. Wag-
ner will raise his voice in Is-
rael's behalf.
In his reply, Mr. Wagner
told of the satisfaction he had
of working closely through
the American Legion, with
the Jewish War Veterans. He
described the richness of the
ideals of the two organiza-
tions, their objectives for the
advancement of the finest
principles of Americanism
and their efforts to combat
Commu n i s m. Referring to
President Eisenhower's hope
that there will be no war in
the Middle East, he supported
it with a similar hope and
with the declaration that
"America will continue to
light the way for freedom-
loving people everywhere."
Participants in the program
included, in addition to the
toastmaster, Walter Klein, who
introduced the scores of dis-
tinguished American Legion
and other community leaders
who were in the dinner gather-
ing of 250; were: Jack Kraiz-
man, commander, Michigan De-
partment, JWV; Joseph New-
mark, president, Gold Star Par-
ents; Joe Jones, past comman-
der of this district of American
Legion.
A surprise feature at the
dinner was the appearance of
David Rubinoff "Rubinoff
and his Violin"—accompanied
by Homer Phillips. Mr. Ru-
binoff's medley, a combina-
tion of classics and the Davey
Crockett song, brought an
ovation from the gathering.
A life membership certificate
presented to Joe Jones by the
Learned Post of American Le-
gion was read to the gathering
by Mr. Klein. Mrs. Bernard
Hoffman led in the singing of
the national anthem and the
opening and closing prayers
were given by Rabbis Hertz and
Adler.
Arabs Agree to Open
Lands to Soviet
WASHINGTON (JTA)—
Egypt, • Syria and Saudi Arabia
decided at their recent confer-
ence in Cairo to open their
territories to Soviet armed
forces should the Western
Powers carry- out any plan for
military intervention in the
affairs of the Arab countries,
it was reported from Beirut,
Lebanon.
The report said that the de-
cision has been communicated
to the Western Powers and
"constitutes the reason which
induced President Eisenhower
to bring the question of the
dispute b et w e en the Arab
states and Tel Aviv before the
Security Council. Reports from
Ankara say that the Soviet
authorities have recruited in
Tiflis, Moslem volunteers from
Northern Asia and China and
that planes are ready to trans-
port them to airfields in Syria
and Egypt in case of need," the
Arab broadcast stated.
