DoriAcelaimedbyLocalLeaders,Educators to Spark Histadrut Workers' Rally

Gen. Yaacov Dori, who di-
rected Israel's defense army
during the War of Liberation in
1948, and who now heads the
Israel Institute of Technology-
Technion—at Haifa, as its pres-
ident, was given an enthusiastic
reception here at the annual
dinner of the Detroit Technion
Society, Saturday evening.
The 300 guests at the dinner
responded. heartily with volun-
tary gifts to the Technion's
campus building fund and a
number of guests enrolled as
participants in the Technion
program.
Announcement was made
by Benjamin Wilk, a former
president of the Detroit Tech-
nion Society, that Detroit's
contributions for the past four
years to the Technion build-
ing fund, for the construction
of 10 buildings on the campus
located on Mount Carmel at
Haifa, had risen to $365,000
as a result of gifts of more
than $40,000 received at Sat-
urday night's dinner.
New contributions made at
the annual event were volun-
tary and in honor of Gen. Dori.
Murray Altman and Julis Lev
shared honors in presiding at
the dinner. Dr. Joseph Epel,
president of the Detroit Tech-
nion Society, in a brief address,
announced that two scholarships
were contributed last month
by friends of Mr. and Mrs. Alt-
man who honored them on theft'
40th wedding anniversary.
The gathering was deeply
moved by the brief talks of
spokesmen for Wayne State
University and the University'
of Detroit.
Dr. Clarence B. Hilberry,
president of Wayne State Uni-
versity, addressing himself to
Gen. Dori, expressed joy over
the distinguished I s r a el i's
presence in our community
and commended him for giv-
ing leadership to educational
institutions that are answer-
ing the perplexity of numer-
ous problems facing the
world.
Dr. Hilberry commented on
the "incalculable understand-
ing" that Gen. Dori's work
brings to the field of science
and added: "Those who advance
science and general knowledge
can bring understanding and
peace and can forge links for
a peaceful world."
Dr. John Mulroy, vice-pres-
ident of the University of De-
troit, spoke glowingly of the
Technion's work and com-
mended "the magnificent ef-
fort on the part of a people
to bring technological ad-
vances to those who need
them." He declared that his- _
tory will record as "the most
amazing development of all
times the re-establishment of
the homeland of the Jewish
people."
A guest speaker at the dinner
in addition to Gen. Dori was the
president of the American Tech-
nion Society, David Rose of
New York, who described how
Technion is rapidly becoming
"the MIT of the Middle East."
He revealed that the Ford
Foundation had given a sub-
stantial sum for research activi-
ties at the Technion. Describing
the burdens of the Technion,
Rose pointed out that while tui-
tion covers nearly 50 per cent
of operating costs of American
colleges, Technion receives only
10 per cent of its budgetary in-
come from tuitions.
Benjamin Wilk's report on
the status of the Technion
building fund drive in Detroit
included an analysis of na-
tional activities. He reported
that the sum of $6,000,000 has
been raised thus far in this
country towards the $10,-
000,000 needed to complete
the Technion buildings.
Leon Kay, a national vice-
president of the American
Technion Society, introduced
Gen. Dori and .expressed cer-

Mr. and Mrs. Altman

tainty, in a review of the he-
ro's career, that histpry will
honor him as "the George
Washington of Israel."
Gen. Dori, who said he was
happy to be "in this wonderful
community," said that unless
the state of Israel is made suf-
ficiently powerful economically,
socially and politically, it will
not have achieved the desired
ends.
He emphasized that there
can be no end to the flow of
immigration because Israel is
the only country left that of-
fers asylum to persecuted
Jews and because the state
needs them for its develop-
ment and security.
He pointed out that while Is-
rael does not have a constitu-
tion, one rule that has been
adopted is that every Jew who
wishes to go there can settle in
Israel.
So far, he said, only half of

Israel has been settled, and
with proper technological guid-
ance the other half of the land
is being made habitable.
Emphasizing that Technion
aims to train high class tech-
nicians and engineers, Gen.
Dori declared that "our prob-
lem can not be solved by me-
diocrities." "Our problem is
not only economic," he said,
"it is political and social. We
aim -to develop our major re-
sources — to educate our
youngsters to become first
class people."
He expressed confidence that,
given the barest chance, the
contributions made by Technion
will benefit not only Israel but
all her neighbors, and he said
that the major hope is for peace
that will bring prosperity and
security to that entire area.
Jules Lev, introducing the
speakers of the evening, men-
tioned the presence of several
noted guests, including Dr. Hen-
ry Gottlieb of the University of
Michigan, Dr. Jacob Goldman
of the Ford Research Labora-
tories and William H. Schwartz,
national executive director of
American Technion Society.
Murray Altman commended
the efforts of the women's com-
mittee which, under the chair-
manship of Mrs. I. E. Goodman,
assisted in arrangements for
the dinner.
Rabbi Leon Frani gave the
invocation.

The first report rally of the
year is planned by the Detroit
Histadrut Campaign this Sun•
day, when Itzhak Zuckerman, a
leader of the Warsaw Ghetto
Uprising, is guest speaker.
Zuckerman, now a member of
a pioneer settlement in Israel
named for fighters of the Ghet-
to, was known as Captain Antek,
when during the Ghetto strug-
gle, he took
over the lead-
ership of the
revolt follow-
ing the death
of Mordecai
Analevich, its
organizer.
After hold-
ing out as long
as possible
against the
Nazi hordes,
Zuckerman led
the few surviv-
ors through
subterranean
canals and Zuckerman
water pipes to safety.

He remained in Poland
throughout the war and was a
Polish Underground leader.
Later he and his wife, Zivia
Lubetkin, another leader of the
Ghetto revolt, settled in Israel.
Zuckerman will speak at 2
p.m., Sunday, in Cong. Ahavas
Achim.
Workers are urged to bring
cash and completed cards to the

rally or to a special breakfast
with Zuckerman at 11 a.m., Sun-
day morning in the Hayirn
Greenberg Center. Another ral-
ly is scheduled for Jan. 26.
Meanwhile, a special commit
tee, headed by Harold Berke, is
planning arrangements for a
dinner honoring Morris Lieber-
-man, chairman of the Detroit
Histadrut Campaign for several
years.
The tribute to Lieberman will
be held Feb: 6, in the Morris
L. Schaver auditorium, begin
ning with a cocktail hour at 6
p.m. Reservations are now be-
ing taken at UN. 4-7094.

Hungarian Paper Says,
Jewish Bias 'Rampant'
VIENNA (JTA) — Anti-
Semitism is still rampant in
Hungary despite the "modern
democratized form" of the
Communist regime, it was re-
ported in the Hungarian paper,
Hadju Buhari, just received
here from Budapest.
The newspaper blamed the
former leadership which made
concessions to "bourgeois anti-
Semitically tinged tendencies."
Governments before the pres-
ent Kadar regime never con-
ducted adequate propaganda
against anti-Semitism, the news-
paper asserted. Today anti-
Semitism still exists among
workers, farmers and intellec-
tuals.
