Benjamin Levinson
Forms Mortgage Co.
Benjamin Levinson, Detroit
mortgage banker for over 20
years, announces the formation
of his own company, Franklin
Mortgage Corp. with offices in
the National Bank Building.
The company will go into of-
ficial operation on Tuesday.
Beginning in 1936, during the
early days of FHA, he started
work for a small mortgage com-
pany.
In 1945, Levinson founded,
and was made president of the
Michigan Mortgage Corporation.
He successfully directed this
company from a small one-office
affair, until today, it is ranked
as one of the major corpora-
tions in the country, servicing
over $100,000,000 in government
insured and guaranteed mort-
gages.
With him in his new business
will be long=time associates
from the Michigan Mortgage
Corp. Richard H. Lee has been
appointed vice-president a n d
Larry L. Guttenberg, secretary-
treasurer.
Lee, a Detroit resident of 40
years, attended Wayne State
University and was previously
associated with the Massett In-
vestment Corp., Greater Detroit
Building Co. and Michigan
Mortgage Corp., where he is
presently secretary of the cor-
poration.
Guttenberg is a graduate of
Detroit Institute of Technology,
and has been an accountant
with various Detroit firms. He
has been affiliated with the
General Discount Corp. and was
treasurer of the Michigan
Mortgage Corp.

Start talking about people,
and Sgt. 1/C Jim Coleman
knows them all; speak about
places and he's been there.
Sgt. Coleman, a Detroiter
from way back, has been many
things and seen a great deal of
the world since his graduation
some 20 years ago from North-
ern High School.
And, nearly all that he's ac-
complished has been during the
161/2 years he's served with
the U.S. Army. The sergeant is
now a public relations man,
serving with the recruiting di-
vision here in town.
But at various times, he
has been a sparring partner
of Rocky Marciano, fought
Tony Zale, the ex-middle-
weight boxing champion,
been a bodyguard to Lt. Gen.
"Vinegar Joe" Stilwell in
Burma and was doubles
champion in handball for the
VII Army Corps in Europe.
His partner—Lt. Gen. James
M. Gavin.
It wasn't always Sgt. Cole-
man, for the rugged soldier
earned a field commission dur-
ing World War II to the rank
of second lieutenant. When he
later served as aide to Gen.
Gavin in Europe, he was a
first lieutenant. And up to last
year, he had his bars as a
captain.
Then came the Army's eco-
nomy program, and all Reserve
officers were forced to sur-
render their commissions. Al-
though he had a number of
offers to get into public rela-
tions or advertising, Coleman
decided that with only four
more years left to become a
20-year man and retire he would
re-enlist—this time as a ser-
geant first class, the new
classification for a technical
sergeant.
"That's an example of how
the Army can work for you,"
Sgt. Coleman says. "Sure, it's
a man's patriotic duty to serve
his country, but if it can serve
you, too, so much the better."
That's the Army's new con-
cept, Sgt. Coleman suggested, to
make Army service as valuable
as possible for boys who are
aware they will have to serve
at one time or another.
For that reason, the Army
veteran is enthused about a
special program which offers
high school and college grad-
uates an opportunity to attend
a technical school of their
choice to further their personal
ambitions in civilian life.
There are about 250 schools
from which to choose, Sgt. Cole-
man says, and the recruit can
choose whichever he prefers,
and often he can select the
places he wants to go.
The only catch is that a
recruit signs for three years
instead of the two he would
serve if drafted; however, since
he gets to pick the duty he
wants rather than leaving it to
chance, it's worth the extra
year's service, Sgt. Coleman
insists.
The Army has changed in Sisterhood of Cong. Bnai Moshe

Appointment of Translloyd,
Ltd., of Tel Aviv, as the Israel
representative of the Railway
Express Agency was announced
in Detroit this week by W. A.
Meyers, general agent for the
latter firm.
Israel entered the interna-
tional shipping network of the
Railway Express, which ex-
tends to 31 overseas nations,
on Jan. 2. The service goes
direct to Haifa, Tel Aviv and
11 other Israel cities.
According to Donald L. Roe,
commercial agent in charge of
the Royal Oak office, which is
responsible for the South Oak-
land County suburbs and a
great part of the Northwest
section of Detroit, the arrange-
ment will have several advan-
tages.
He said that now packages of
all sizes and weights may be
sent directly from Detroit to
the Jewish state with no delays
in transfer. Average time from
point to point, he said, is about
17 days to three weeks.
A second feature is the
elimination of special overseas
packing, which is required by
other shipping agencies, Roe
said. Railway Express has
water-tight cartons, in which
all parcels are sealed before
transport.
Roe added that there is only
one shipping document and a
single inclusive shipping charge
based on published rates. For
complete information, contact
Roe, 710 E. 11 Mile, Royal
Oak, LI. 7-6655.
