Sports' Group Idea Would Send
Bats, Balls to Israel, Not Bullets
- Baseballs instead of bullets,
bats instead of bombs."
This basic philosophy of the
United States Committee for
Sports in Israel was outlined
before an audience of 100
prominent Detroiters at the
first annual outing of the De-
troit Chapter of USCSI, held
Tuesday. at Tam O'Shanter
Country Club.
Col. Harry Henshel came here
from New York. where he is
vice-chairman of the board of
Bulova Watch Corp., to be the
guest of honor. More than any
other person, Col. Henshel, as
chairman of the USCSI, has
aided in the upbuilding of a
solid sports program for the
Jewish state.
At the dinner Tuesday, which
capped an all-day golf outing,
Col. Henshel explained that the
work of the Sports for Israel
group was a second priority
item, compared to the burdens
assumed by the United Jewish
Appeal and State of Israel
Bonds.
"Yet," be added, "Israel is
sports hungry, and our job is to
provide the Israeli people with
things other than the necessities
off life. No matter how poor we
were as kids. we always had a
bat and ball. We expect no less
than that for the Israelis."
Speaking of the work ac-
complished by the committee,
Col. Henshel pointed with pride
to the achievements of men like
Elmer Ripley, Nat Holman and
Abe Sapperstein who have made
basketball the most important
sport among Israel's teen-agers,
boys and girls alike.
"Our committee wants to get
all of the great Jewish stars—
in football, baseball, basketball,
swimming and all sports — to
teach the Israelis how to play
and how to compete without
using weapons.
"By teaching football to the
army, - he added, "we will make
them secure through competi-
tion. Our help is what the UJA
can't give them."

ing contributions to sports in
America and Israel" was pre-
sented to Col. Henshel by the
Detroit Chapter. The group
also gave a gift to the other
principal speaker, Sid Luck-
man.
The former Columbia Uni-
versity All-American football
player who for 12 years was
quarterback for the Chicago
Bears, is the founder of Sports
for Israel in Chicago, where he
is now an executive for a truck-
ing firm.
Luckman told the audience
that "sports is the greatest thing
we have in America. If we do
whatever we can here, we will
see sports in Israel grow."
The dinner program was pre-
sided over by Dr. Henry Ber-
ris, chairman of the local chap-
ter, and Herman Fishman, its
founding chairman. Bob Mor-
rison, a Detroiter who had the
distinction of kicking 17 suc-
cessive field goals while playing
football at Ohio State Univer-
sity, introduced Col. Henshel.
Several hundred dollars in
funds toward the committee's
work in providing instructors,
equipment and playground areas
was contributed by the guests
and an initial check from the
Detroit Chapter was given to
Col. Henshel to go to the USCSI.
The first major program of
the Detroit Chapter, it served
to emphasize the group's goal
of "seeing a baseball field in
Israel that we have helped to
build, equip and furnish with
instructors to aid the growth of
sports in the Jewish state."
Among the guests at the
outing were Detroit Tiger coach.
Jimmie Dykes; Red Kelly, of
the Detroit Red Wings; Nick
Kerbawy, of the Detroit Pistons;
and Leo Sullivan, executive
with the DSR.

To The Jewish News
WASHINGTON—Sen. Hubert
H. Humphrey (D., Minn.) de-
clared on the Senate floor that
the United States Government
should not "condone discrimina-
tion" through Saudi Arabia
pressure on American firms.
Sen Humphrey referred to
charges by the "highly re-
spected American Jewish Con-
gress" that Saudi Arabia "has
influenced hiring practices of
Aramco not only of employes
who are to be assigned to that
country but also of those who
will be employed in the United
States.
"This raises a fundamental
issue which we cannot close our
eyes to," the Senator asserted,
emphasizing that "there is no
room for second class citizen-
ship in the United States." He
said: "I do not think our gov-
ernment can condone this dis-
crimination."
