United Jewish High School Merges with United Hebrew's Program After three years of plan- ning, the United Jewish High School will be merged with the United Hebrew Sch' _pis in time for school opening this fall, it was announeed by Abe Kasle, president of the United Hebrew Schools. The affiliation is considered a milestone in Jewish educa- tion in Detroit, the merger be- ing effected in the interest of a sounder Jewish educational effort and more efficient oper- ation of both schools. The identity of the United Jewish High School will be preserved by maintaining its Dr. Seltzer's Book Highly Regarded "Interest as a Source of Eco- nomic Research," by Dr. Lawr- ence H. Seltzer, published by the National Bureau of Eco- nomics, has risen to a high place as an authoritative eco- nomic source book, and has be- come highly regarded in indus- trial and economic circles. Dr. Seltzer's latest work deals with current trends in the American economy. The "pudgy gentleman who makes his liv- ing with a pair of scissors, clip- ping coupons, is now a figure of American folklore," it re- ports. The pri- vate mortgage holder with the handlebar mus- tauche is also a vanishing Dr. Seltzer type, the De- troit scholar points out. The book reveals that most interest income is received by persons of modest means. Fur- ther, only about a quarter of the interest income received by individuals shows up in income tax returns. Dr. Seltzer is chairman of the Department of Economics atWayne State University, He has taught economics for 36 years. Receiving _his A.B. from the University of Mich- igan in 1920, he began there as an instructor of economics. The following year he as- sumed an assistant professor- ship at Wayne University. He has since been honored with assistant, associate, and full professorships. In 1925 he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Aside from academic posi- tions, Dr. Seltzer has held other posts of professional leadership. In 1933 he was technical advisor to the Labor Advisory Board, NRA. The next year he was expert assistant to the deputy governor, for the Farm Credit Administration. For five years he was head economist of the U.S. Treasury. He was consult- ing expert for the_ Federal Re- serve Bank of New York. For 11 years (1942-53) he was con- sulting expert for the U.S. Treasury. He has written numerous periodical articles and seven other books. Dr. Seltzer has also been ac- tive in Detroit's Jewish com- munity. He was president of the Jewish Social Service Bureau and for four years served on the JSSB board. He was a member of the board of gover- nors of the Jewish Welfare Fed- eration until last year. He has been chairman of the teachers' division of the Allied Jewish Campaign. Dr. and Mrs. Seltzer have two children, Mrs. Ruth Harrison and Ronald, a freshman at Wayne's College of Medicine.
