Building Trades Council Launches Jews Want to Leave
Russia, Harvard Student Earlier Deadline for Our
3-Year Drive for Israel Trade Schools Finds During Festival
5718 Bosh ilashanah Issue
GREGORY BARDACKE, labor relations director, Mayor
LOUIS C. MIRIANI and MORRIS LIEBERMAN, chairman of
the Detroit Histadrut Campaign, meet informally before the
dinner of the Detroit Building Trades Council, which was held
to establish a series of trade schbols in Israel.
* * *
Over 700 members of the De-
troit Building Trades Council,
several representatives from
the construction industry and
many city dignitaries were pres-
ent last week at the kick-off
dinner of a three-year program
to sponsor trade schools in Is-
rael's three major cities of Je-
rusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Over $100,000 will be raised
by the series of annual dinners,
with funds raised here to be
matched by Histadrut, Israel's
General Federation of Labor to
erect the trade schools.
Midway through the dinner,
Louis C. Miriani, president of
the Detroit Common Council,
who was chairman for the eve-
ning, rose to tell the audience
that Mayor Albert E. Cob() had
just died, and a moment of si-
lent tribute passed before the
program continued with greet-
ings by Sen. Patrick V. McNa-
mara.
The Senator, brother of
Thomas McNamara, secretary-
treasurer of the Building Trades
Council, who was toastmaster,
stated that the Council had been
aiding, for many years, "a strug-
gling democracy to gain a foot-
hold in an area of the world
where there is no democracy."
In saying that American
unionism is drifting away from
the moral basis upon which the
union movement was founded,
Sen. McNamara said, "We could
now take a lesson from Israel
where labor unionism is such a
vital force to the growth of the
country and its general wel-
fare."
Gregory Bardacke, of New
York, director of the American
Trade Union Council and a rep-
resentative of Histadrut, was the
evening's guest speaker. After
paying tribute to Mayor Cobo,
he said Detroit was fortunate
that it had a man of Mayor
Miriani's courage to replace
h Tn.
Bardacke was referring to the
recent action of the new De-
troit Mayor in refusing to attend
an Arab rally in Detroit, which
was to have been addressed by
Syrian Ambassador Farid Zein-
.
nedine, the spreader of anti-Is-
rael and anti-Jewish propagan-
da who was declared persona
non grata by the U. S. Govern-
ment shortly after Miriani's
action.
Bardacke responded to the
"generosity of trade unionists"
who have worked to make pos-
sible the erection of the new
trade schools in Israel. He also
explained that Israel not only
was a trade union country, but
had the first trade union gov-
ernment in the history of the
world.
He condemned U.S. shipment
of arms to Iraq, Jordan and
Saudi Arabia and charged that
the U.S. GIs who delivered these
free arms were not permitted to
wear their uniform in Jordan,
while U.S. planes delivering the
arms were forced to pay $75
for each plane landing with the
free arms shipments.
Bardacke concluded by urging
the union members to work for
peaceful solutions to the settle-
ment of the Middle East prob-
lem—not by arms but by eco-
nomic and cultural exchanges
with Arabs and Israel alike.
Rabbi Moses Lehrman, of
Cong. Bnai Moshe, gave the in-
vocation.
Dr. Lowdermlk Lauds
Israel for Progress
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(JTA)—Israel is making "tre-
mendous" progress in its gen-
eral economy, and its advances
in agriculture are particularly
"striking," Dr. William Clay
Lowdermilk, outstanding
American agricultural author-
ity, declared upon his return
from a two-year stay in Israel
as a technical assistance expert
on behalf of the United Na-
tions Food and Agriculture Or-
ganization.
He made his observations at
a press conference arranged
by the FAO at which he sum-
marized his experiences in Is-
rael. He had been assigned by
FAO to help the Haifa Tech-
nion develop a new depart-
ment of agricultural engineer-
ing.

BY INF BAKERS OF "OVEN CRISP" (UNSALTED) MATIONS
BOSTON (JTA)—The young
Harvard law student who
spoke. 10 to 12 hours a day to
the Russian crowds in the
street during. the recent Mos-
cow World Youth Festival has
returned with a report that
"almost every Jew I spoke to
over the . age of 25 expressed
the desire to leave Russia ,--and
go to Israel."
New-
George S. Abrams of New-
ton, Mass., told the Jewish Ad-
vocate of Boston that the Jews
in the crowds he talked to in
Moscow besieged him with
questions about Jewish life in
America. He said they wanted
to know what Reform Judaism
was, whether every American
Jewish family attended syna-
gogue services and about many
other aspects of American
Jewish life.
Abrams said that the three
synagogues in Moscow were
well attended and that at the
central one, where he went for
worship, many Jews told him
of the horrors experienced un-
der Stalin and of their fear
that, while conditions had im-
proved under the post-Stalin
leadership, life would return to
what it had been under Stalin.
The law student said that
Moscow Jews were "intensely
curious" about Israel and that
the older Jews wanted "des-
perately to leave Russia and
go to Israel, but had no hope
that they -would ever be al-
lowed this privilege." Citing
Prime. Minister David Ben-
Gurion's speculation that 1,500,-
000 Russian Jews would emi-
grate to Israel if they had the
opportunity, Abrams said he
felt the number would be even
greater.

SOME
QUESTIONS
and
ANSWERS
ABOUT
VOSHIlt
L
Mar-Pare may be used where non-animal
fat or non-milk fat diets we recommended.
AR-PARV
What is MAR-PARV?
MAR-PARV is a Kosher and Pareve, Margarine — it
was the first of its kind on the market.
What is the advantage of MAR-PARV?
Because - MAR-PARV is Pareve, it may be eaten at
Jewish meat or dairy meals. See the "U" on the package—
that "U" is the seal of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Con-
gregations of America. They supervise the making of
MAR-PARV from beginning to end.
Why Have Persons of the JEWISH FAITH
So Enthusiastically Received MAR-PARV?
As stated, no d'airy products can be served with meat
meals. Therefore, with meat meals, bread must be eaten
dry — likewise dry potatoes, dry vegetables, etc. BUT —
MAR-PARV Margarine can be used at meat meals! So, now,
no more dry bread and "flat" vegetables at Kosher meat
meals.
How Does MAR-PRAV Differ from
Other Margarines?
For one thing, other margarines contain milk — This
makes other margarines a dairy product. Also most mar-
garines contain glycerides, which generally come from an
animal source. This mixture of the "animal" and the milk
makes it impossible for the common margarine to be Kosher.
What Is MAR-PARV Made of?
The ingredients used in the making of MAR-PARV
are pure soybean oil, a mixture of ground soybeans and
water, and lecithin. Each pound is enriched by the addition
of 15,000 units of Vitamin A and 2,000 units of Vitamin D.
What Doe's MAR-PARV Taste Like?
MAR-PARV has a fresh, sweet taste.
Can MAR-PRAV Be Used in
Cooking or Baking?
Now, baked goods made with MAR-PARV will be par-
eve! But they couldn't be, if made with a dairy shortening
or regular margarine.
Where Can I Purchase MAR-PARV?
at your favorite neighborhood
Grocer or any Super Market
