negotiations he conducted with
Russian librarians to secure
photostats of the manuscript
from the Ginzberg Library Col-

Dr. Joseph L. Baron, the

American communities have
fallen short in educational ef-
forts. - He described recent cul-
tural accomplishments in Wis-
censin, commended Detroit's
latest undertakings and ap-
pealed for increased educa-

One of the highlights of the
Book Fair was the "Critics Call
the Author" session, Monday
night, when Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver was questioned and pre-

"Where Judaism Differed," by
a group of Detroiters, over a
telephonic hook-up to his home
in Cleveland. Participants in the
program included Dr. Richard
C. Hertz, Rabbi Jacob Chinitz,
Dr. Max Kapustin, Philip Slo-
movitz and Sidney J. Karbel.
During the discussion, Dr.
Silver's photograph was
flashed on a screen to add to
the feeling that he was ac-
tually present at the impres-
sive event.
Rabbis Hertz, Kapustin and
Chinitz each spoke for five min-
utes, evaluating Dr. Silver's con-
tributions to Jewish life and his
new book, "Where Judaism Dif-
fered." Then followed the tele-
phonic discussion and a brief
participation by the audience.
