Labor Ziomsts Greet Schumer Gallup Finds B-G
onoestoAd World's
at Histadrnt Testimonial Event ,m
mired

Greetings from all segments
of the Labor Zionist movement
—from the rank and file to the
top leadership — were extended
to Harry Schumer at a testimo-
nial event Thursday night cele-
brating the Detroit leader's 60th
birthday.
The program, postponed from
an earlier date by Mr. Schu-
mer's illness, was sponsored by
the Histadrut Campaign, along
with the Labor Zionist Or-
ganization, Farband, Pioneer
Women, United Jewsh Folk
Schools, Habonim and Labor
Zionist Institute.
A major part of the evening
was an avalanche of checks
which were contributed to the
Histadrut Campaign as a spe-
cial honor to Schumer.
Morris Schaver, who was
chairman of the program and
read the announcements from
the floor, mentioned that with=
the proceeds from the testimo-
nial the Histadrut Campaign
was now well ahead of last
year, with approximately $125,-
000 already subscribed,
The Schumer Testimonial
marked the close of the Far-
band and LZO phase of the
active campaign, and mem-
bers of the divisions will now
enter the mop-up stages.
• Greetings were brought from
the national movement by Pin-
chas Caruso, editor of the Yid-
disher Kempfer; Isaac Hamlin,
former executive secretary of
the National Committee for
Labor Israel, and his successor,
Dr. Dov Biegun.
Hamlin, now a resident of
Israel and that country's His-
tadrut representative to the
United States, called attention
of Israel's "desperate need" for
economic .assistance. He stressed
the urgency of meeting the
established quota set for Detroit
of $250,000.
The presentation of a scroll
to Schumer was made by Dr.
Biegun who cited the Detroiter's
active participation in the Labor
Zionist Movement and in His-
tadrut for nearly 30 years.
He also lauded the Detroit
community and the Schumer
family for the establishment of
the Harry Schumer Cultural
Center at Acco, Israel.
In his response to the greet-
ings, Schumer called on all
workers in the Histadrut
Campaign to solidify their ef-
forts for Israel during the
present crisis that threatens
her existence.
Another spokesman for the
family was William Schumer,
son of the honor guest, who
has followed his father to
achieve prominence in the
Labor Zionist ranks.
Mrs. Emma Schaver, guest
artist, was introduced by Morris
Lieberman, Histadrut chairman,
and sang a medley of Israeli and
Yiddish numbers. She was ac-
companied by Rebecca Froh-
man.
In the campaign itself, a
number of programs are sched-
uled for the coming week, most-
ly in the ranks of the Pioneer

T raditional

Women. Meetings are planned
by Hanita Chapter on Monday;
Kinneret Chapter on Tuesday;
and there will be a general rally
on Jan. 31.
_Honorable mention in the
campaign this week went to
Morris Coleman and Isaac Lit-
wak in the trade union division,
with special thanks to James R.
Hoffa, AFL Teamsters presi-
dent.
Honorable mention also went
to Sol Kanat, Bereznitzer Soci-
ety; L. Shrodeck, Furniture Di-
vision; J. Kahn, Poale Zion
Branch 2, Club I of Pioneer
Women and the Korostichever

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The
American Institute of Public
Opinion has listed Israel Pre-
mier David Ben-Gurion as a
personality regarded by a cross-
section of Americans as one of
the world's most admired men.
A national public opinion poll,
directed by Dr. George Gallup
showed that
Mr. Ben - Gu-
rion ranked
higher in Am-
erican public
estimation than
Secretary of
State John
Foster Dulles.
The poll also
showed that
Premier B e n-
Guri on was
more admired
by the Ameri-
can m a n n- Ben-Gurion
the-street than Indian Premier
Nehru, British Prime Minister
Eden, who resigned Thursday,
or American Henry C a b o t
Lodge, chief U. S. delegate to
the United Nations.
The survey was aimed at de-
termining which men living in
the world today the public ad-
mires the most. Premier Ben-
Gurion has become widely
known to Americans because of
his strong stand against Arab
aggression and the impression
he created on a number of na-
tional television interviews.

UJA Agency Aids
Egyptian Refugee

Driven out of Egypt, Nisim
Cohen, his wife and three chil-
dren arrived in Israel recently.
An Italian subject, he spent all
of his life (37 years) in Cairo
where he was born.
Accused of spying for Israel
after receiving a letter from
his mother there, he got off
with severe warning with inter-
vention by Egyptian friends.
From that day he was on a
black list.
Nov. 17 an Egyptian secret
police officer informed him and
his family they must leave the
country within three days. For-
bidden to sell property, includ-
ing furniture, he had to sign a
statement that he left Egypt at
his own request. He was denied
3:50 Egyptian pounds which his
firm wanted to give him in
severance pay.
Egyptian customs officials
confiscated all new clothing
with which the Cohens boarded
an old cargo boat to Naples.
They were stripped of all per-
sonal jewelry except wedding
rings.
The captain warned passen-
gers not to talk with "the Jew-
ish dogs." Crowded into a dor-
mitory with 200 people, the
Cohens trembled with fear until
disembarking.
During the Sinai defense ef-
forts, they were chased from air
raid shelters when recognized
as Jews. Their grocer was
threatened with losing his li-
cense if he sold food to Jews.
The Jewish Agency, backed
by United Jewish Appeal funds,
financed the Cohens' Naples-to-
Israel trip and conveyed them
to Beersheba, where Nisim has
relatives. A two - room apart-
ment with basic furniture was
also provided by the Agency.
The Agency and Egyptian
residents of Beersheba now sup-
port him -vvhile he studies He-
brew. Unafraid of the future,
he says, "Now we are really
where we belong and do not
have to tremble for our lives."

filiate of the Union of American

WASHINGTON—Former Nazi
SS officials are now adminis-
tering an anti-Jewish program
in Egypt, the Bnai Brith an-
nounced it had learned from a
reliable correspondent. A com-
prehensive report on the estab-
lishment of the new program
was submitted to the State De-
partment by Bnai Brith presi-
dent Philip M. Klutznick, who
appealed for investigation by
both the United Nations and
the United States.
The establishment of five con-
centration camps in Egypt with
capacity for all that nation's
Jewish inhabitants was .re-
ported. The Bnai Brith report
said a systematic campaign
against Egyptian Jewry has
been launched by the so-called
State Security Agency, directed
by former Nazis now in Egypt
under assumed names.
The agency is responsible for
anti-Jewish measures, accord-
ing to Bnai Brith, and consti-
tutes a 70,000-man force, in-
cluding 6,249 Nazis operating
under "Arabized" names. This
agency is organized along the
lines of the Nazi security serv-
ice, the Sicherheitsdienst. Com-
manding the State Security
Cadre is Lt. Col. Al Nacher
who is identified by Bnai Brith
as SS-Grossaktionsleiter Leo-
pold Gleim, one-time chief of
the Nazi SD-Geheimgarde (se-
cret guard).
Anti-Jewish laws were in-
spired by Lt. Gen. Ben Salem,
the report said, identifying this
officer as former SS Bann-
fuehrer Bernard Bender. The
chief of the Egyptian Secret
police, charged with anti-Jew-
ish strategy, is a former Ges-
tapo chief, Heinrich Sellmann,
who now goes under the alias
of Lt. Col. Ham id Suleiman.
Other SS and Gestapo men
were named as intended con-

_

centration camp commanders
and in other. capacities.
The Bnai Brith report said
that 4,000 Jews holding Egyp-'
tian citizenship have been im-
prisoned "with common crim-
inals in unspeakable places,"
and other Jewish .Egyptians,
estimated at 23,000 and 25,000
stateless and foreign Jews are
under virtual house arrest.
