Reveal History of Unionism
in 'World of David Dubinsky'
- "The World of David Dubin-
sky," by Max D. Danish, pub-
lished by World Publishing Co.
(2231 W. 110th, Cleveland 2),
is more than a biography of the
eminent labor leader. It is a
study of the labor conditions of
our time and of this able man's
influence upon labor relations.
It is an outline of the history
of one of the strongest labor
unions in the world, the Inter-
national Labor Garment Work-
ers' Union. It is an analysis of
the changes that had taken
place in the thinking of labor
leaders and their unions on the
question of Zionism.
Dubinsky got his first in-
spiration in the Bund in Rus-
sia. There followed a period of
Socialist activities with the re-
volutionaries, and a prison
term before he was smuggled

Rabbi Criticizes
Resigned Chaplain
LOS ANGELES (JTA) — A
San Francisco rabbi who re-
signed as chaplain at San
Quentin prison in protest
against a social view on crime
which "puts men in prison, in-
stead of hospitals" was criti-
cized by another Jewish chap-
lain for both the resignation
and _the reasons for it.
Rabbi E u g en e Gruenberg,
chaplain of the California State
Department of Mental Hygiene,
declared that the resignation
statement of Rabbi Julius A.
Leibert could leave "an al-
together wrong and unfair pic-
ture" with the "Jewish and
non-Jewish taxpayer."
Declaring that a chaplain's
job "is above all to serve the
spiritual needs of his congre-
gants," Rabbi Gruenberg asked
what would happen "if every
doctor, nurse, psychologist and
social worker would throw in
the towel and leave the job
because he or she did not
agree with the managerial and
administrative methods."
Judaism Attacked
in Soviet Ukraine
NEW YORK (JTA)—Judaism
is again under attack in the
Ukraine, where more than half
the Soviet Union's 2,500,000
Jews live, the United Press re-
ported from Moscow.
The attack is made in a
pamphlet called "The Judaic
Religion—Its Origin and Es-
sence." The author, T. K.
Kichko, complains that atheistic
propaganda is being neglected
among; religious Jews.
"The booklet is being dis-
tributed for mass circulation
by the Ukranian Society for
the Dissemination of Political
and Scientific Knowledge," the
UP report said. "It has been
reviewed favorably and promi-
nently by Pravda of the Uk-
raine, the republic's most im-
portant newspaper."
The report stressed that
while attacks against Judaism
are not new in the Soviet
Union, this pamphlet is distin-
guished from others of its kind
by the effort to link the an-
cient religion of Judaism with
modern Zionism and the State
of Israel.
out of the country across the
German border. As an immi-
grant in the East Side of New
York, he acquired a knowledge
of the working class' needs
while cutting cloaks. Then be-
gan his career as a union labor
leader. He made his grade in
the ILGW and rose to top lead-
ership, becoming also a power
in New York politics.
He was a friend of Franklin
D. Roosevelt and a staunch
supporter of the New Deal. He
was an avowed anti-Communist
and fought the Reds wherever
they made themselves felt.
He fought the racketeers in
the labor movement and always
was in the forefront in the
fight in behalf of the down-
trodden.
His biographer describes Du-
binsky the Jew, the man who
declared that he was "not a
professional Jew" but a Jewish
worker. But Dubinsky came
forward in support of the
worthiest Jewish causes, he was
a leader in the battle against
Nazism, he became a devoted
adherent of the Israel Hista-
drut m o v em en t. As Danish
writes about him:
"In his heart and mind,
David Dubinsky has remain-
ed through the years a warm
Jew, as keenly responsive
to the bruising agonies of the
people he left behind, as to
the rebuffs and frustrations
of his fellow Jews in the
bursting ghettos of the new
world."
It was under Dubinsky's lead-
ership that the ILGW "pledged
$1,100,000 in gifts to Israel for
a hospital, a stadium and a
trade school.
The Dubinsky biography
relates how President Roose-
velt confided in Dubinsky
that every time he wanted
to appoint a Jew to office
Jewish leaders tried to dis-
suade him out of fear that
it would be detrimental to
Jewish interests. FDR con-
fided in Dubinsky that he
appointed Felix Frankfurter
to the Supreme Court be-
cause he was "highly quali-
fied for that post," and he
added: "Jews need not be so
apprehensive, for this is their
country no less than that to
any other citizens."
Dubinsky emerges in his bio-
graphy in all his genius—as a
man who not only knows how
to build a strong labor move-
ment, but who also is able to
enlist the cooperation of man-
agement for the common good.
He is one of the strong men in
America today, and his story
is fascinatingly told by an able
writer in "The World of David
Dubinsky."
Soviets Depict Israel
as 'Land of Suffering'
NEW YORK (JTA)—A lead-
ing Soviet newspaper, Kom-
somolskaya Pravda, has printed
a number of letters purporting
to have been written by Rus-
sian immigrants to Israel, de-
picting Israel as a land "full
of suffering and sorrow," where
unemployment is rife, people
"go out gf their minds" and
immigrants "are dying of heat
and hunger," according to the
New York Times.

Bonds Accelerate Housing Program
•
•
Israel is accelerating construction of housing for new
immigrants with the assistance of State of Israel Development
Bond proceeds. With more than 100,000 newcomers from Egypt,
Hungary and other countries arriving this year, Israel must
build a minimum of 30,000 housing units (similar to the ones
shown above) at a cost of $90,000,000 to provide permanent
dwellings for them. In addition, Israel must create new em-
ployment for these immigrants in agriculture, commerce and
industry, so that they may become self-sufficient citizens as
quickly as possible. Investment capital derived from the sale
of Israel Bonds provides a major share of the funds which
enable Israel to build homes and find jobs for her immigrants,
and to strengthen her economy.
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Con-
siderable deposits of aluminum-
bearing ores have been dis-
covered in the Negev, includ-
ing an estimated one million
tons of flint with a 45 percent
concentration of the light
metal, Prof. M. Ben Dor, heard
of a government • geological
survey of the desert region, re-
ported.
Aluminum-bearing flint is in
great demand in the world
market, Prof. Ben Dor ex-
plained, because it is highly
heat resistant and is used to
line furnaces. He also revealed
that the Negev contains baux-
ite, an ore with a more than
50 percent aluminum content,
from which pure aluminum is
obtained commercially.
