German-American
Group Uses Bias
in Dirksen Campaign

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — A
racial appeal for the re-election
-of Senator Everett Dirksen of
Illinois, the Republican leader,
and the return to the Upper
House of "our own man" has
been made by a German-Ameri-
can committee in Chicago.
The committee, in a letter
sent to the membership lists of
225 German societies in the Chi-
cago area, warmly defended the
Kaiser's Germany and Hitler's
Third Reich against charges of
responsibility for two world
wars, and accused the Demo-
cratic Party of being anti-Ger-
man and responsible for both
wars.
A staff writer of the Wash-
ington Evening Star pointed out
that "Sen. Dirksen is of German
descent- . His Democratic oppo-
nent, Rep. Sidney R. Yates, is
Jewish and the son of . Polish
immigrants."
The letter, on Dirksen-for
Senator stationery, stated in
part that "flamed to a high
pitch by propaganda of the
worst sort, both these wars were
conducted against the German
nation and everything German:
The catastrophic holocaust en-
gendered over the entire world
by these actions of rapacity by
the victors created the chaos
and uncertainty of existence we
live in today."
It went on to. advise that
"German-Americans with the
slightest tinge of emotion and
justice left should reflect upon
these facts and remember ._ . .
Let us demonstrate by actions
that we, as German-Americans,
want to have a voice in govern-
ment by re-electing our own
man as representative again."
Dirksen has denied knowledge
of the group's activities.
The Star quoted A. M. Frey,
secretary of the German-Ameri-
can Committee for Dirksen, as
explaining that what was meant
by the "rapacity of the victors"
was the Morgenthau Plan, a plan
for the postwar treatment of
Germany prepared by the then
Secretary of the Treasury, Henry
Morgenthau, Jr., that the allies
"bombed little cities, old people
and hospitals, not just military
targets" and "went all out to
bring terror into the hearts of
the whole people."

ucts necessitates an ever-increasing development of harbors
and shipping facilities utilizing Israel Bond: funds. (Top) New
cranes in Haifa and new jetties will increase the port capacity
by 800,000 tons. (Center) Rock is unloaded for the breakwater
at the new port of Ashdod which will eventually handle
2,500,000 tons of cargo per year. The first stage of the port
will be completed in 1965. (Bottom). In the busy port of Elath,
Israel's southern gateway to Africa and the Orient, imported
grain from Africa is unloaded. By 1970, Elath will have a
capacity of 1,000,000 tons of various types of import and export

Detroiters Visiting Israel Show
Deep Interest in Bar-Ilan, University

RAMAT GAN, Israel.—Scores
of Detroiters who are visiting.
Israel are showing a deep inter-
est in. Bar-Ilan University locat-
ed here, about 12 miles from
Tel Aviv.
Much of the interest shown
by Detroiters stems from the
pioneering efforts of a number
of Detroit Jews in establishing
the foundation of the university.
When a group of 47 Detroit-
ers, who were on a special com-
munity - arranged tour, under
auspices of the Jewish Welfare
Federation and under the guid-
ance of Miss Esther Prussian
and Jack Miller, paid a visit to
Bar-Ilan, they were entertained
at a special reception.
During the entire month of
October,' many other Detroiters,
participants in the UJA Mis-
sion and in Histadrut and Jew-
ish Congress tours, made it a
point to to Bar-Ilan's. expand-
ing campus.
Having just commenced the
eighth academic year, Bar-Ilan
University presently has 1,000
students. • Most of the 150 stu-
dents who are housed in the
university dormitories 'owe their
very pleasant housing facilities
to Detroiters who have estab-
lished two dormitories. One of
them was financed by the Stoll-

man families, and the other by
the entire Detroit Jewish com-
munity, with the aid of a gener-
ous gift frofn the Muskovitz and
Pershin families.
The Abraham and Laura Nus-
baum Hall established at the
university represents one of the
very generous gifts to the
school,
There also is the Jack and
Esther Shulman Laboratory, in
memory of these two Detroiters.
Pride is shown by university
authorities in the Lincoln Build-
ing at Bar-Ilan, built with the
aid of cultural assistance funds
from the United States. It is
the only building outside of the
United States erected in mem-
ory of the Great Emancipator.
