Detroit Banker Joins
Israel Study Mission
Gerald F. Dewhirst, vice
president of the National Bank
of Detroit, left Sept. 1 for Israel
to participate in the 1959 Jew-
ish Agency Bankers Study Mis-
sion.
Max Fisher, president of the
Jewish Welfare Federation, ex-
plained that the Bankers Mis-
sion, organized by Gottlieb Ham-
mer, executive director of the
Jewish Agency, New York, is
part of a continuous program
which started in 1949.
In addition to Dewhirst, this
year's Mission includes many
prominent bankers from all
over the country.
The group, which is visiting
Israel at the invitation of the
Jewish Agency, will study the
country's economic and indus-
trial development as well as its
immigration and colonization
program. During their stay,
members of the Mission will be
given the opportunity to ob-
serve the operations of the Jew-
ish Agency in the fields of
rehabilitation, h o u s i n g and
agricultural development and to
study the problems facing the
Agency.
The National Bank of De-
troit, with which Dewhirst has
been associated since 1933, has
cooperated with the Jewish
Welfare Federation in a num-
ber of refunding loan projects
which have been utilized by
the United Jewish Appeal—the
Federation's major beneficiary
—for the resettlement of Jewish
refugees in Israel. During his
current visit, Dewhirst will
have the opportunity to acquaint
himself with every phase of
this resettlement program.

Miami Beach Rabbis
Split on Naming of
Kashruth Director
Israeli Airport Worker Arrested
as Spy for Iron Curtain Country
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., (JTA)
—The Miami Beach City Coun-
cil has reappointed a layman
for a two-year term as City In-
spector of Kashruth after Jew-
ish religious leaders had dif-
fered sharply as to whether or
not only a qualified rabbi could
fill the job. The inspector's
task is to police meat markets
to see that there is no violation
of the city's ordinances on rep-
resenation of products as kosh-
er.
A strong fight against reap-
pointment of Frank Brickman
to the job was led by spokes-
man for the Community Vaad
Hakashruth of Greater Miami
who insisted that the appoint-
ment had to go to a rabbi. The
organization charged that "the
City of Miami Beach can not
disregard the Orthodox com-
munity by covering the kosher
merchants with a city ordinance
that infringes upon Orthodox
religious laW."
Rabbinical supporters of the
inspector said that the question
of kashruth fell into two cate-
gories, religious, dealing with
the meat itself, and surveil-
lance, which was primarily po-
licing against misrepresenta-
tion. A rabbi was not needed
for the policing job, they said.
The council held that the
city inspector was not supposed
to pass on a religious matter
like kashruth but only to make
certain there was no misrepre-
sentation involved.
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — A 27-
year-old aircraft technician is
under arrest on charges of spy-
ing for a foreign country, po-
lice authorities here reported.
Under security regulations,
neither the man's name nor the
foreign country for which he is
alleged to have done the es-
pionage were named.
The country concerned, it is
understood, is behind the Iron
Curtain. The man was employed
at Lydda Airport, and is charg-
ed with having passed on to a
foreign power important in-
formation about Israeli aircraft
and air fields.
While little information was
revealed by police, some details
of the case were learned. The
man's parents reportedly live
in a foreign country. When the
technician went to that coun-
try's legation here and express-
ed a keen desire to be reunited
with his parents, he was al-
legedly asked to deliver certain
secret information.
It is asserted that the man
was given a visa to go to the
country to see his parents and
upon his return here, was or-
dered to continue his espionage
activities. Later, it is under-
stood, his services were con-
sidered so important that an
Ambassador from the country
concerned came here to see
him and to brief him on exactly
the type of information re-
quired.
Meanwhile, however, the
man's parents are still in the
foreign country, and the man
was promised that his parents
would be permitted to come
here if he continued to furnish
information desired. The sus-
pect's trial is scheduled for
mid-September.
Recently, another Israeli was
arrested on espionage charges,
under circumstances similar to
those surrounding the latest
suspect. In the other case, too,
the suspect has apparently been
trapped into spying because of
his interest in bringing here
members of his family living
in an Iron Curtain country. The
first suspect had also been
promised that his family would
be permitted to come to Israel,
and this promise was not kept.
