"While we are looking at our

In 1899, the year of its incor-
poration, the UJC was called
upon to .give help to Romanian
refugees who came to Detroit
in large numbers.
By the turn of the century,
the UJC was publishing names
of subscribers to its annual col-
lection in the Jewish American.
In 1901, a dispensary for in-
digent sick was added to UJC
services. In 1902, the Charities
hired its first full-time profes-
sional director. Henry Butzel,
the chairman of its real estate
committee, bought land for a
permanent Charities building on
East Vernor, which was then
called High Street.
The Hannah Schloss Building
was already too small for grow-
ing Charities programs when it
was dedicated in 1903.
As a result of a 1923 survey
of developments and needs in
communal service, financed by
Leopold Wineman, the Chari-
ties formed the present Jewish
Welfare Federation with the re-
sponsibility of promoting the
wartime control of Italy but lomat, recalling his meeting P:/

Goldmann Hits
`Political Char ges
Against WZO
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Dr.
Nahum Goldmann, president of
the World Zionist Organization,
addressing the annual dinner of
the Jewish' Reconstructionist
Foundation, recently, deplored
the fears of some groups— of
joining the World Zionist Or-
ganization because they con-
sidered it a political movement.
He termed such fears "mean-
ingless and unfounded" and de-
clared that the only "political"
work being done by the Zionist
movement was "to help support,
in certain situations, demands
and interests of Israel." He
quickly noted, however, that
"the so-called non-Zionist groups
are doing just the same."
Dr. Mordecai M. Kaplan,
founder of the Reconstruction-
ist movement, who sought
affiliation of the United Syna-
gogue of America with the
World Zionist Movement, an-
nounced that he would seek to
have the Recons•tru-ctionist
movement join the WZO.
Dr. Kaplan declared that until
a century ago, Zionism was "an
integral part of Judaism." He
asserted that "insofar as the
existing synagogue movements
have become accustomed to
treat the restoration of the land
of Israel as outside the purview
of their religious . activities,
Judaism has been deprived of
the main source of its vitality
and viability, namely the gen-
erative and self-renewing po-
tency of Jewish peoplehood."
Expressing belief that there
was no likelihood that the
United Synagogue of America
would federate with the World
Left to right at the dedication of the Henry Meyers Memo-
rial Library: Dr. Sol G. Meyers, brother of the deceased;
Morris Garvett, Ralph Ulveling, director of Detroit Public
Libraries; Charles Feinberg, Samuel Frankel and Dr. Maurice
P. Meyers, another brother of the deceased.

Meyers who served on the Li-
brary Commission. Samuel

Miss Louise Grace, president
of the Detroit Board of Educa-

Zionist Organization in the near
future, if at all, he proposed
that "the Reconstructionist
movement undertake to bring
back to Judaism the moral and
spiritual values that inhere in
the spiritual unity of the
Jewish people by having the
Reconstructionist Fellowship of
Congregations join the World tion ceremony.
