Detroiter at Seminary Joins 'Vigil for Rights' Jeffrey Tigay, a Detroiter at- tending the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, participated in the seminarians' vigil for civil rights on the grounds of the Lin- coln Memorial. Protestant, Catholic and Jewish theological students from seminar- ies throughout the country are keeping the silent "vigil." The students will continue the vigil as lOng as necessary "to witness to our common effort to help secure justice and equal rights for all citizens—.--through comprehensive civil rights legis- lation." "Theological Students Vigil for Civil Rights" originated with semi- nary students in New York and has since spread throughout the country. Every seminary in the U.S. has been invited to partici- pate, and schools are sending in support daily. Students take turns standing watch at the Memorial, most of the "watches" lasting three hours. Those from out of-town seminaries often stand several watches within a 24-hour period. The young theologians have at- tracted much attention within the various religious groups. Faculty members at several seminaries have indicated that they will travel to Washington to join their stu- dents at the Lincoln Memorial.

Long known here for his sales- manship and as a representative of large national clothing firms, Mal- lon remains active. He is so highly regarded among his buyers here that the J. L. Hudson Co.'s clothing department last year honored him with a dinner on his 79th birthday. He is an active member of Con- gregation Shaarey Zedek and its Men's Club and is a regular atten- dant at Sabbath and holiday serv- ices.

He is now affi- liated with the Bnai Brith Down- town Lodge. He also is an active member of the Business Men's Club of the Jewish Center. A native of Germany, Mallon came to New York in 1900. He then worked in a factory and for six months was copy boy for the now defunct German Herald. He went to Chicago in 1912, came to Detroit in 1912, and has been in the clothing merchandising busi- ness ever since. He was married on Oct. 29, 1912, to Mary Pragg.
