Supplementing the president's
report, Isidore Sobeloff, Feder-
ation executive director, spoke
of the "comprehensive and bal-
anced homogeneity" that has
developed on a communal basis
in Detroit through the Jewish
Welfare Federations
"Our successful task has
been to find room in our pro-
gram to deal adequately with
the UJA and at the same time
to provide fairly for our local
needs," Sobeloff said. "We shall
continue the orderly develop-
ment of our agencies at home
while fulfilling our obligations
to overseas needs."
Sobeloff announced plans for
an expended community cul-
tural program through the
Jewish Centers. He foresaw a
"well-equipped city club under
community auspices - that will
undertake many educational
programs," in the new Center
to be erected on Curtis and
Meyers.
"The problems of education,
health, welfare and related
fields are ours to grapple and
we shall face them with cour-
age while not overlooking
Israeli and overseas needs," he
concluded.
Judge Levin, making the
presentation of the annual
award to Justice Butzel, paid
tribute to the memory of
"that great man and inspiring
leader," his brother, the late

COL. MICKEY MARCUS
Ainerican, Col. David
"Mickey" Marcus—by his wife,
Emma Marcus, as told to Ralph
Schoenstein, under the title
"The West Pointer Who Built
Israel's Army," ,
Mickey Marcus died in Israel
on June 10, 1948, the victim of
a stray bullet by an Arab sni-
per on the Jerusalem front. It
was the night truce was to take
effect, and only a short time
after he had told a photogra-
pher, "I' feel my luck is running
out."
Emma Marcus tells a drama-
tic story about how her much-
decorated husband. had just
swapped his army 'Uniform for
civilian clothes and was be-
ginning a successful law prac-
tice on New York's Fifth Ave-
nue when he received a call to
help organize Haganah's gueril-
la fighters into an army.
He went because he "had seen
Dachau and smelled the stench
of burned flesh still in the air"
after World War II, but he re-
turned to "Israel, after coming
home briefly, because he liked
the people and their spirit.
And in Israel, too, they liked
Mickey Marcus--ifrom Premier
Ben-Gurion to the soldier at
the front to the housewife in
Tel Aviv.
The tribute of a woman best
tells of this affection. In a letter
to Mrs. Marcus, she wrote, 'We
knew him but a short time, but
he belonged to those rare peo-
ple whose purity brings out the
best in others . . . The thous-
ands who loved your husband
do not cry easily, Death is
common with them. But this
time they were not ashamed to
cry . . ."
Col. David "Mickey" Marcus,
is buried at West Point, the
only American who gave his
life for an alien cause to be
given the honor.
