Widay, April 12, 1957 -- THE D ETROIT JEWISH NEWS

to Head Michigan Comnnmity UJA

An interesting innovation has
been introduced by Ann Arbor's
Jewish community in its fund-
raising efforts.
For the first time in the his-
tory of any Jewish community
in Michigan, a Jewish woman
has been named chairman of the
campaign for the United Jewish
Appeal — and, from all indica-
tions, it may turn out to be the
most successful drive ever con-
ducted in Ann Arbor.
Mrs. Fannie Haber, wife of
Prof. William Haber, the dis-

MRS. WILLIAM HABER

tinguished economist and world
president of ORT, assumed the
chairmanship of the Ann Arbor
campaign with enthusiasm.
It is her task to reach not
only the 168 Jewish families in
the university city but also the
Jewish students and faculty
members. Her aim is to raise
at least $30,000 this year.
Already, she reports, the
students have raised $1,700 by
staging the annual Show "Hil-
lePz-a-poppin' ". The students
plan to raise an additional
similar sum from direct con-
tributions, according to Nata-
lie Godnik and Dobby Shrie-
ber, student chairmen.
The community's largest con-
tributors are Osias Zwerdling
and Thomas Cook.
Ann Arbor's. campaign started
Sunday evening, with a dinner
at the Hillel Foundation. The

the success of the event, Mrs.
Haber also supervised the din-
ner; and to make certain that
the kashrut provisions required
by Hillel are adhered to, she
and several of the women man-
aged also to give personal at-
tention to the dinner. Mrs.
Haber came to the Outlet POul-
try Co. to select the turkeys,
then she assisted in actual prep-
aration of the meal that pre-
ceded the campaign talks and
solicitations.
Prof. Haber remained in
Aim Arbor, to be a participant
in the dinner, prior to his de-
parture on Tuesday for a four-
day meeting of the World
ORT Executive in Paris,
France.
A total of $21,000 was raised
at the after-dinner meeting, at-
tended by 100 people. Contribu-
tors responded to a speech by
Leo Lania, who declared, "This
is no time to get tired of giving.
No soldier in an army, no moth-
er in a household can desist
from carrying on in time • of
such need." Though thousands
of young, strong Egyptian Jews
have recently been added to the
Israeli . population, they are
overwhelming t h ^ country's
economy rather than adding to
the strength of its people, Lania
stressed.
Mrs. Haber received her Bach-
elor's and Master's degrees in
economics at the University of
Wisconsin. Following her aca-
demic training she did person-
nel work and became personnel
director of a large department
store. During World War II she
was a member of the War Labor
Board. A past vice-president of
the State League of Women Vot-
ers, she has been on the league's
ers, she has been on the

years. She is faculty advisor to

Mrs: Haber has accompanied

ADAS SHALOM SYNAGOGUE

Biblical Research for
`Ten Commandments'
Abuses 'Poetic License'

SAN FRANCIS CO (JTA ) —A
Baptist clergyman and a lay
official have made a series of
visits to San Francisco news-
papers to document charges
that the scriptural background
in Cecil B. DeMille's "Ten
Commandnients" represents a
clear case of abusing "poetic
license."
Representatives of Jehovah's
Witnesses in New York have
similarly attacked the relia-
bility of DeMille's Biblical re-
search. Jewish reactions have
ranged from criticism by rabbis
to an award from the Bnai
Brith to the producer.
Rev. James L. Anderson of
the Baptists' Biblical Founda-
tion at Lodi, Calif., and A. J.
McDonald, of the same organi-
zation, have presented news-
paper editors with specific ex-
amples to back their com-
plaint that DeMille "has been
grievously misled" in handling
Jewish Scripture in his film.
Among the errors they have
listed are these:
Moses spent 40 years in the
wilderness. When he , returns to
lead the Children of Israel to
the Promised Land, he finds his
girl as fresh and young as be-
fore his flight;
Moses and Joshua are pic-
tured as contemporaries;
The woman who found Moses
in the bullrushes was Hatslep-
sut, not Bithiah.
In his conversations with edi-
tors, Rev. Anderson summed it
up this way: "Why, any Sun-
day school kid could have in-
formed Mr. DeMille better."
