THE DETROIT JEW ISH NE WS — Friday, June 5, 1959-4 Moscow Claims Soviet Jews in Israel Want to Return to Russia WASHINGTON (JTA) — A letter allegedly signed by 107 former Russian citizens now living, in Israel, complaining about "bitter" conditions in Israel and asking help to re- turn to Russia, has been pub- lished in a Moscow newspaper in one of the sharpest attacks on Israel to appear in the Soviet press, it was reported here. The letter appeared in the (labor newspaper Trud, as an appeal to Marshall Kliment Y. Voroshilov, Soviet Chief of State, with charges that the writers had been "deceived" into going to Israel "through lying Zionist propaganda." Pub- lication of the letter was con- sidered here a move by Soviet authorities to counter a state- ment made by officials in Israel to the New York Times that there were almost no Russian Jews in Israel who want to return to the Soviet Union.

He was the envy of all swiftly — until June 30, Chief Joseph Ad- ler has worked his last day for the Detroit Fire Department. Tuesday marked the close of a career which spanned 41 years as an active fire fighter and brought Adler a distinction no other Jew can claim—chief of an entire city's fire department. The 58-year-old fire chief on Wednesday began a furlough, which will continue through June 30, the day when he is retired as head of the depart- ment. Actually, under department regulations, the Fire Chief must retire when he reaches 60 years of age. But it is certainly no secret now that Chief Adler fal- sified his age when he entered the department. While he has filed a correc- tion of his birth date and given proof of his correct legal age, Adler must abide by his original declaration and leave two years short of the official retirement age. Several parties are being planned for the retiring chief, including a department cele- bration at 6 p.m., Tuesday, at the Belle Isle Casino. Friends outside the department can make reservations with Lt. Deneweth, WO 3-2100. What prompted young Joe Adler to join the Fire Depart- ment 41 years ago was every boy's childhood ambition—to be a fireman. Only Joe Adler lived a little closer to firemen and fire stations than most young fellows. Born in Cleveland, he spent most of his boyhood in Chicago — in an apartment across the street from a fire station. Young Joe would run errands for the firemen, getting them sandwiches, cigarettes and cans of beer. (He says the latter is strictly, forbidden nowadays). On March 19, 1912, Joe Ad- ler, 11, found himself alone in Chicago. His father had been shot to death by a gang of hood- lums. For several years he knocked around between De- troit, Chicago and Montreal, working in a garment factory, a a helper on a horse-driven express wagon and as a street car conductor. In 1915, still too young to work for the fire department, Adler lived in a Chicago fire 1, 1 1 IM = 1 1Z 0, 4o-w• or m.4) • rt 777 t4 :1 173, =..1 1 1 #1C) -- YOUR LINK WITH IMMORTALITY 4 ° in every human.
