Reunited After 15 Years
Danny Raskin's Israeli Women 'More Feminine,'
and 'Men Don't Mind It One Bit'
LISTENING
P
Victor Mohacsi, 47, Hungarian dental technician, wears a
happy smile as he is greeted by his wife, Ethel, and his son,
George, whom he has not seen in 15 years, on his arrival in
New York recently. Mrs. Morgenstern (Mohacsi is Hungarian
for Morgenstern) and her son, then only 18 months old, were -
separated from her husband in 1942 when the Nazis placed
them in different concentration camps.. He escaped from
Hungary during the revolution, and was assisted to come to
the United States by United Hias Service, the global Jewish
migration agency. His wife and son were brought to the
United States by United Hias in 1949.
Community's Citizens to Enter
Election Polls This Tuesday
Detroit community members
will enter the polls this TueS-
day to vote on civic proposals
and candidates for City office.
The community has held heat-
ed debate on proposals one . and
two, urging building, at a cost
of $9,500,000 of a modern ma-
rine terminal on the Detroit
River. The terminal, to be built
between the Detroit News ware-
house and the Detroit Harbor
Terminals, Inc., would meet the
initial increase in - foreign trade
expected when the St. Law-
rence seaway opens in 1949.
The 1,100 feet of frontage
would provide two berths for
500-foot freighters, two transit
sheds, rail and truck access
routes, cargo handling, equip-
ment and storage area in its
27 acres.
The first proposition author-
izes the Fort Commission to bor-
row the money for port con-
struction through issuance of
general obligation bonds;` the
second proposal would raise
property taxation by 16 cents on
one thousand dollars of assessed
valuation to meet interest and
amortization on the loan. Re-
venues from leases and rentals
of port facilities will be ap-
plied against the loan, and it
is unlikely that full tax assess-
ment will be necessary; the com-
mission stated.
The commission feels that De-
troit can expect to handle
300,000 tons of foreign cargo
in 1959. Less than 100,000 tons
are . being handled , here now.
Additional tonnage can be re-
ceived only if facilities are
provided, it says.
Opposition to the proposal
has been voiced by the North-
west Detroit Federated Civic
Associations, who say that the
proposed expenditure is too
great.
Among candidates for De-
troit's Common Council are Ed-
ward Connor, Eugene I. Van
Antwerp, Del Smith and Bill
Rogell, incumbents.; George • H.
Edwards, who has been a mem-
ber of the Michigan State legis-
lature; and William T. Patrick,
Jr., Wayne County 'assistant
prosecutor.
Connor espouseS improve
DSR service and residential
housing, and building more ex-
pressways and low-cost parking
facilities. Van Antwerp, who
helped plan arterial highways
for increased traffic, has backed
the city's' program for extensive
industrial and residential re-
building.
Smith supports the express-
way plans and urges provision
of more - parking area conven-
ient to working and shopping
centers. He wishes to acceler-
ate slum clearance to provide
sites for industrial re-deVelop-
ment.
Rogell, who augurated the
city "Baseball' school" which
trains some 15,000 boys annual-
ly, has battled for better driv-
ing conditions.
Edwards, who served on the
state judiciary, public utility,
transportation and private cor-
poration committees, helped
pass the FEPC law and aided
broadening of the state civil
rights law.
Patrick has been president of
the Detroit Cotillion Club,
which he guided in "registered
voters" and "wake up business"
campaigns. He serves on the
boards of the Wayne County
Civic League and the NAACP.

EVERY SO OFTEN, the
serious side of Milton Berle
saunters out . . as it did last
week while he was in Detroit
for the day to promote his new
record album, • "S o n g s My
Mother Loved" . . . At the
cocktail- party in his honor at
the Book-Casino during the eve-
ning, there was a moment when
for one of the rare occasions
in his life, "Uncle Miltie" was
at a loss for words . . . hard
to believe but true . . . It was
while presenting an album to
Bea Fealk, president of the
Greater Detroit Bnai Brith
Women's Council, who repre-
sented the local Jewish mothers
in Detroit . . . When sur-
rounded by women, Berle
usually pecks away with quick-
witted rapidity . . . Not this
time, however, as a photog-
rapher snapped _pictures of his
presentation to - Bea, while on
both sides of Berle stood Mrs.
David Grosberg, first vice-
president of the Women's Coun-
cil, Mrs. Philip Edelheit, second
v.p., Mrs. Sidney Eidelman,
third v. p. and Mrs. Julius Droz,
past - president of Bloch Chapter
. . . The gals lost no time later
in asking Berle to be the guest
star at their star-studded revue
_next year.. . . The one coming
up, Nov. 12, at the Fox Theater,
is the BB Women's Council's
11th annual fund-raising cul-
mination affair . . . with the
lassies taking over the entire
Fox Theater for the evening.

ARDENT SUPPORTER Joe
Lee tells of his recent trip to
California where he werit 'as a
delegate to the annual City of
Hope convention . . . While he
and some fellow Detroit dele-
gates were present at the medi-
cal center, a sneak thief ran-
sacked his hotel room . .. The
Los Angeles police responded
quickly and the investigating
officer and Joe Lee spent much
time together . . . discussing
the policeman's hometown, De-
troit, Michigan ... Cookie
Spoon is paying better attention
to transportation tickets these
days . . . especially after attend-
ing the City of Hope conven-
tion . . . While there, he and
several other delegates decided
on a sid-e.trip to a not-too-far
city . . . His train ticket called
for a chair car, but when
Cookie found his seat, he dis-
covered it occupied by an at-
tractive girl . . . Seeking out
the conductor, he noted the
number on his ticket and then
pointed out his occupied seat
. . . Sure enough, the conductor
acknowledged, it was Cookie's
rightful seat . . . However, he
should have been on the train
the day before!

LATE ONE EVENING, re-
cently, the non-Jewish next
door neighbor of shoeman Mur-
ray Maisel saw a flickering
light in the house next door to
hers, and called the fire depart-
ment . . . Three fire wagons
came roaring to a halt with
sirens blaring . . . The lady of
the house wasn't home, so the
firemen forced their way in
through the kitchen window
and came out looking a bit
sheepish . . . with one of them
carrying what turned out to be
a yahrzeit light!

PHILADELPHIA, (J T A) —
Plans for a new medical school
under Jewish auspices, an-
nounced recently by, the Feder-
ation of Jewish Agencies, were
endorsed by the Albert Einstein
Medical Center.
Paul J. Johnson, president
said the medical center's board
of trustees .and members of its
medical board gave unanimous
approval to a resolution urging
Great Lakes $500,000 Exhibition the Federation to carry through
with its study to explore the
feasibility of a non-secretarian
medical school under Jewish
auspices.
The need for additional medi-
cal school facilities `was empha-
sized in Johnson's statement.
He said that if the populatiOn
of the United States increased
to the anticipated 220,000,000
persons by 1975, "at least 24
more medical schools must be
developed." He said this would
