Jewish Historical Society to Present
Marker at Mackinac Island Rites

An historical marker commemor-
ating Michigan's first Jewish res-
ident Ezekiel Solomon will be
dedicated on Mackinac Island 2
p.m. May 31 by the Jewish His-
torical Society of Michigan.
The entire Memorial Day week-
tnd will be devoted to activities
marking historical events on the
island culminating with the pre-
sentation on Sunday. This "Com-
memorative Day" coincides with
the fifth anniversary of the state's
Jewish Historical Society.
The renaetment of the Massacre
Of 1763 will be observed May 29,
a grand parade May 30 and serv-
ices noon the following day in the
newly reconstructed Church of
Ste. Anne de Michilimackinac.
On behalf of the Jewish peo-
ple of Michigan, representatives
of the Jewish Historical Society,
led by Allen A. Warsen, will
present the roadside marker to
the Mackinac Island State Com-
mission. Friends of the society
financed the marker and erec-
tion was approved by the Mich-
gan Historical Commission.
Besides Warsen, the delegation
to the ceremonies will include Dr.
and Mrs. Irving I. Edgar, Mr. and
Mrs. Gerald Avrin and Jonathan
D. Hyams.
Solomon, a native of Berlin, who
had served with the British army,
arrived at Michilimackinac in

1761. The first known resident of
the Jewish faith, he was one of the
most active Mackinac fur traders
until his death about 1808.
He narrowly escaped death in
the massacre of 1763 and during
the Revolutionary War, banded
together with other hard-pressed
traders to establish a general store.
In 1784, he was a member of a
committee of eight regulating the
Mackinac area trade. He is believ-
ed to be buried in Montreal, where
his business often took him and
where he was a member of Cana-
da's first Jewish congregation,
Shearith Israel.
The text of the marker is by Dr.
George S. May, research archivist
of the Michigan Historical Commis-
sion.
The weekend activities are di-
rected by Dr. Eugene T. Peterson,
director of historic projects of the
Mackinac Island State Park Com-
mission, and Lawrence A. Rubin,
executive secretary of the Mackinac
Bridge Authority.

Israel Postal Workers
Told to Speed Up or
Face Consequences

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

JERUSALEM—Finance Minister
Pinhas Sapir warned postal and
tax administration workers Tues-
day to call off their three-week-
long "go slow" action, but the work-
ers gave no indication they would
heed the warning.
The slowdown has crippled mail
service throughout Israel and cut
deeply into Israel's tax collections.
The finance minister said that if
the slowdown actions were not
stopped within two weeks, the
workers would be considered "full
fledged" strikers "with all the con-
sequences involved."
The total failure at ending the
slowdown meanwhile began to lead
to consideration of some form of
arbitration for settling labor dis-
putes. The cabinet named a sub-
committee to discuss with the min-
isterial committee on wages the
idea of arbitration.
A special committee of Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol's Mapai party
met to consider proposals from
Mapai cabinet ministers for a per-
manent arbitration tribunal with
recourse to compulsory arbitration
on essential problems.
However, the Achdut Avodah
party is fundamentally opposed to
arbitration, and there are also dif-
ferences in the Mapai party about
making arbitration compulsory.

"The relationship of the Roman
Catholic Church and Hitler's Third
Reich has for many years been
obscured by what may justifiably
be called an extensive mythology,"
says Guenter Lewy in the preface
to "The Catholic Church and Nazi
Germany." published by McGraw-
Hill.
For instance, Prof. Lewy asserts
that, according to evidence now
available as a result of the capture
by the Allies of large quantities
of German state and party docu-
ments and the opening of some
Church archives, the negotiations
for the Concordat of 1933 between
Hitler and the Vatican were ini-
tiated by the Holy See and not
by Hitler as was hitherto generally
assumed. Professor Lewy offers
documentary evidence that those
Catholics who resisted the Nazi
regime were in effect rebels not
only against the State but also
against their own Church author-
ities, who urged complete loyalty
to Hitler. Again, according to
