Says Engineering Prejudice Over
on Films for 'Zionist Affiliations'
BY HERSCHEL P. FINK
"It used to be tough for a
Jewish boy to overcome preju-
dice in engineering," said Sol
Lifsitz, newly appointed Wayne
County Highway Engineer.
"Today it's a different story.
A capable Jewish Engineer
will not have trouble getting a
job and advancing."
Lifsitz attributes the change
in part to the growing demand

Seven .Jews Elected
to Parliament in
S. African Contests
JOHANNESBURG, (JTA) —
Seven Jews were among the
successful candidates elected to
Parliament in last week's elec:
tions.
They are Dr. E. L. Fisheg,
Major E. B. Isaacs, L. B. Taurog,
A. Gorshel, S. Emdin, Mrs.
Helen Suzman and S. Frank.
The first five represented the
United Party; Mrs. Suzman is a
member of the Progressive
Party, while Frank ran on the
list of the National Party in
Southwest Africa. Fisheg, Tau-
rog and Frank were returned to
Parliament unopposed.
In addition, two Jews — A.
Bloomberg and C. Barnett—
were elected in earlier balloting
to represent Nego voters in
Cape.
There were no "Jewish issues"
in the election campaign. When
newspapers suggested that the
"Jewish vote" would favor Pro-
gressives in certain constituen-
cies, Progressive Party candi-
dates themselves scotched this
notion. They stated that Jews
here voted as South Africans
and that there was no "Jewish
vote."
At the opening of her "one-
man" exhibition at Glassboro
(N.J.) State College, NATA-
LIE EVELYN GAINES pre-
sented her sculpture "Form
16" in honor of her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Michael Gaines of
Detroit, to the Glassboro State
College for their newly-created
museum.
