Friday, September 6, 1957—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEW S-1 6 Grant 'Immediate Aid' Eight Candidates for City Council to Nazi Survivors Win Backing of Local Leaders in Rhine Westphalia Six incumbents and two newcomers to posts on the De- troit Common Council in next Tuesday's Municipal Primary Election this week received the support of leaders in the local community. They are: Charles N. Young- , blood, Bill Rogell, Eugene I. Van Antwerp, Del A. Smith, Edward Connor and Mrs. Blanche Parent Wise, all incum- bents, and Ed Carey, presently the Democratic minority leader in the Michigan House of Rep- resentatives, and C. V. Velas- quez. Charles N. Youngblood, born and educated in Detroit, is a graduate of Assumption Col- lege and Wayne State Uni ver- sity law school. He has been a public official since 1935, and served in the State Senate from 1943 to 1947. He was elected to the Coun- cil in 1953 to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of Charles G. Oakman, and was re-elected later that year for the full term. Councilman Roge 11 has served 14 years on the Coun- cil, since ending his colorful baseball career with the De- troit Tigers. Among his acts on the Council, Rogell in- augurated a baseball school which trained 15,000 Detroit children. He also led the fight to pre- vent government housing units in the Northwest section, spon- sored a proposal to provide 60 parcels of land for playfields in the area and combatted plans to build an airport in 1944 between Meyers and Greenfield. Eugene I. Van Antwerp, a native Detroiter, is a Council- man of long standing and a former Detroit Mayor. He is `She is more precious than a graduate engineer and a rubies."--Prov. 3:125 former instructor at Gonzaga University, Spokane, Wash.

Service Bureau Now seeking his fifth con- 13327 Linwood secutive term as Councilman, DUESSELDORF, (JTA)—The state of North Rhine Westphalia has issued instructions to pay a $1,425 "immediate-aid" in- demnification allowance to Ger- man Jews who were shipped to such Nazi concentration camps outside Germany proper, such as Auschwitz, Theresienstadt or Mauthausen, and who returned to Germany after the war to settle here. All German states but one have now abandoned the speci- ous reasoning previously em- ployed in this connection. The l956 version of the Federal In- demnification Law contains a clause providing an "immediate- aid" award to Nazi victims who were former residents of Ger- many. If they emigrated from Ger- many due to Nazi persecution; if they were deported or ex- pelled, they are entitled—once they have returned to Germany on a permanent basis—to a $1,425 allowance, half of which is later deducted from other, indemnification grants. By dint of strained leg al argumentation, some German indemnification author Ales ruled that Jews whom the Nazis shipped to concentration camps outside Germany, and who re- turned to Germany after the war, had not been "deported" or expelled within the mean- ing of the law and therefore had no claim to the "immediate-aid" gr ant. The state of Rhineland-Palati- nate still adheres to this inter- pretation, and has now appealed to the German Supreme Court against a decision of the Neu- stadt Superior Court which affirms that a Jewish com- plainant is entitled to the "im- mediate-aid" allowance. No. 38 on Your Voting Machine Friendly — Informed Effective March of Dimes Se eks Polio Patients More than 10,000 former polio patients in Wayne County are being mailed questionnaires in a census conducted by the Wayne County Chapter of the March of Dimes. William J. Young, Jr., chapter chairman, has announced. The local canvass, part of a nationwide program, is to serve as a basis for an intensive study of the current medical needs of all former' polio pa- tients both paralytic and non- paralytic. It has been found that some polio patients originally diagnosed as nonparalytic de- velop weakness and even de- formities after a lapse of years. "We want the names and addresses of everyone who ever had polio now living in Wayne, County. Many former patients have moved here from other parts of the nation, and there were many persons stricken by polio before the March of Dimes was incorporated 20 years ago," Young said. "We want to know how many former polio patients, regard- less of age or when they had the disease, can be helped by modern rehabilitation tech- niques and thereby gain more useful lives," he added: Young urged that all polio victims — whether disabled or not — send their names and addresses to: Wayne County Chapter, March of Dimes, 153 E.
