CAMP McCOY, Wis.,—This is
the close of our first day here as
civilian members of the "Michi-
gan Newslift," a group chosen to
view military operations of the
United States Army Reserve.
Yet, in one day, it is under-
standable why the Army is both
proud and pleased to open this
47-year-old installation in cen-
tral Wisconsin to observers.
There are 20 of us here from
Michigan, including George Or-
ley, president of Orley Bros. of
Detroit; C. Frazer Clark, Mum-
ford High School principal; and
other representatives of school,
government service, newspaper,
business, radio and television.
We are here for three days
at the Army's invitation to learn-
how the reserve program func-
tions. In the words of Brig. Gen.
Lester S. Bork, chief of the
Michigan Military District op-
erating out of Detroit, who
headed Wednesday's tour, the
purpose of the reserves "is to
provide a strong enough fight-
ing force to resist any aggres-
sion, therefore preventing any
aggression."
Another purpose of our vis-
it here is to meet with Michi-
gan servicemen, to learn how
they feel about the value of
Reserve training.
Most of the men we are to
see are assigned to the 309th
Military Government unit.
From a distance, we were able
to observe the intensity with
which they train.
Assigned to the 309th, an all-
Detroit outfit, are Capt. I. J.
Adelson, 1st Lt. Brooks Hier-
stemn, •M/Sgt. William Isenberg,
Sgt. William F. .Berard, Cpl.
Harry C. Sorg and Pvt. Marvin
H. Wolff.
These men began their train-
ing Sunday. It will continue
through Aug. 26, when they will

receive two weeks of concen-
trated study and actual practice
in the assignments they learn at
Fort Wayne throughout the
year.
Later 'in the day, we met
Col. Ervin Greenbaum, of
16500 Birchcrest. In civilian
life a consulting engineer, Col.
Greenbaum is in command of
the 5906th U. S. Army Reserve
Schools where Army Reserve
officers from Georgia to Min-
nesota are "upgraded in mili-
tary proficiency."
Col. Greenbaum, a reservist
since 1928, commands the De-
troit Army Reserve School at
Fort Wayne.
During World War II, Col.
Greenbaum was Assistant Chief
of the Industrial Division, De-
troit Ordnance District, working
on tank and automotive produc-
tion.
He started his military career
at the University of Michigan.
While attending school for four
years, which led to his earning
a BS in Civil Engineering, he

also was a member of the ROTC
Training Program, from which
he was commissioned a Second
Lieutenant.
Greenbaum has been assigned
to a variety of duties, includ-
ing two months at the Army
Command and General Staff
College at Fort Leavenworth
and Fort Riley, Kan.
Only last year, he attended
the National Resources Confer-
ence of the Industrial College
of the Armed Forces—a defense
department project to determine
the industrial mobilization pos-
sibilities of manpower and re-
sources in an overall mobiliza-
tion effort..
Col. Greenbaum, a graduate
of the United Hebrew Schools
in Detroit, is a member of the
education committee of Con-
tregation Shaarey Zedek and of
numerous engineering and pro-
fessional organizations.
He is married and the father
of four children, Alice, 19;
Maryann, 16; Ruth, 11; and
James, 5.

Dr. Sachs, in U. S., Explains Findings
on Fingerprint Patterns of Jews

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Dr. Leo
Sachs, head "of the genetics sec-
tion of the Weizmann Institute
of Science, arriving here, said
that the results of research by
himself and Dr. M. Bat-Miriam
on fingerprint patterns had re-
vealed that Jews of all parts
of the world had certain com-
mon genetic similarities and
spring from an ancient Mediter-
ranean people.
He did not mean, Dr. Sachs
said, that "all Jews were ex-
actly alike." In his statement,
intended to Clarify reports of
the research presented at the
first Congress of Human Genet-
ics at Copenhagen, Dr. Sachs
said that what the study re-
vealed was that all Jews "have
certain strong similarities in

certain characteristics such as
the fingerprints, which indicate
ancestral origin in the Eastern
Mediterranean."
The study involved the finger-
prints of 4,000 recent immi-
grants to Israel who came from
Iraq, Yemen, Morocco, Turkey,
Bulgaria, Poland and Germany.

Church and Synagogue
Erect Joint Building

• -•.•••••••---

MIAMI, (JTA)—A Jewish con-
gregation and a Protestant Epis-
copal mission parish made reli-
gious history when they de-
cided to build a single house of
worship to be used by both con-
gregations. The ohurch and the
synagogue will later construct
and use a joint community
center.
The situation came about
when the Holy Angel Episcopal
Mission and the Dale Heights
Jewish Community Center,
which found that they could
not afford individual sites and
buildings, heard about each
other. A proposal by Harold
Samuels, of the Jewish center,
that the two groups buy a site
jointly and build separately was
matched by the Rev. James W.
Rice's suggestion that they not * •••:'
only buy the site jointly but
that they build one structure
and use it jointly. Mr. Samuels
and the Rev. Rice consider their
solution "very practical" and a
"new high in brotherhood."

Veterans Denounce .-
Syrian Envoy in U.S.

MILWAUKEE, (JTA) — The
Jewish War. Veterans of the
United States, at its 61st annual
convention here, urged the State
Department to declare Farid
Zeineddine, Syrian Ambassador
to Washington, persona non
grata for "meddling in the in-
ternal affairs" of the U.S.
The veterans charged that
Ambassador Zeineddine had
slandered American Jews in a
speech last June in which he
said that "the American Jew is
not an American emotionally
or even ultimately." The dele-
gates also urged the United
Nations to guarantee safe pas-
sage of the Suez Canal for
Israeli shipping.
William Carmen, of Newton,
Mass., was elected national com-
mander of JWV.
