73, 750 i n Israel Bonds at Sponsors Luncheon

A plea to Detroiters to guar-
antee Israel's achievements in
Sinai was voiced by Col. Ben-
jamin Givli, commander of the
Israeli Infantry Brigade and
hero of the Sinai operation, at
the sponsor's luncheon of the
Women's Division, Israel Bond
Organization, at the home of
Mrs. Arthur Fleischman, Tues-
day.
Col. Givli underlined the im-
portance of strengthening Is-
rael's army and economy. To
effectively defend its borders,
the country must establish set-
tlements along its frontiers, he
declared.
Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Mar-
shall, military analyst for
The Detroit News, who with
Mrs. Marshall was honored
guest at the luncheon, de-
clared that "an investment in
Israel is an investment in
the American ideals we be-
lieve in and wish to main-
tain." Himself a purchaser
of Israel Bonds, Gen. Mar-
shall believes the investment
in Israel to be as beneficial
to Americans as to the Jew-
ish State.

Polish Anti-Semitism
Increasing in Spite of
Government's Action

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Despite
all Polish government efforts to
check anti-Semitism, it con-
tinues to increase, Dr. Arieh
Tartakower, chairman of the
Israel executive of the World
Jewish Congress, reported upon
his return from a visit to War-
saw.
The chief sufferers in the new
wave of Polish anti-Semitism,
he declared, are the schoolchil-
dren.
Dr. Tartakower, who was in
Poland on behalf of the WJC,
praised Polish authorities for
their "liberal attitude" toward
Jewish values and culture. He
reported that the Jewish Cul-
tural and Literary League had
decided to introduce Hebrew in-
to the curriculum of the coun-
try's seven Jewish schools.
He said the Polish Jewish lit-
erary publication, Bletter, is
now printing works by Russian
Jews -which otherwise would not
be printed because there are
no Jewish publications in the
USSR.
Polish Jewry, approximately
50,000 strong, Dr. Tartakower
said, will shortly affiliate with
the Congress. The WJC leader
said that 25,000 more Polish
Jews are expected to be re-
patriated from the USSR, with
the assistance of Jewish organi-
zations in Poland.
Details about the maltreat-
ment' of Polish Jews who have
been repatriated by the Soviet
Union trickled through to Vi-
enna from a special conference
of district secretaries of the
Lower Silesian Association of
Jewish Cultural Organizations,
held in Wroclaw (Breslau), Po-
land.

shall spent many hours with
Col. Givli and watched his
campaign. The noted military
analyst came to the luncheon
to be with the colonel, whom
he now considers his good
friend.
Col. Givli commanded the
infantry brigade which cap-
tured the Arab towns of
Rafah and El Arish during
the Sinai campaign. During
Israel's -War of Liberation, he

dents of Petach Tikvah. He is
37 years old.
Mrs. Max Stollman, chair-
man of the National Sponsors
group, presided at the meet-
ing, at which $73,750 worth of
Bonds were purchased. The
meeting brought at least 45
new national sponsorships and
three "Builders for Israel,"
purchasers of $3,000 bonds to
finance one unit of housing for
new immigrants.
T h e additional sponsor-
ships, when combined with

71 previously pledged ones,
put the Women's Division
well on the way to the goal
of 300 national sponsors for
this year.
Lester Blickstein, new city
manager for Israel Bonds, con-
ducted the pledging session at
