Rockefeller was urged by the Jewish War Veterans of New York State to sign into law the group libel bill which has been passed in both houses of the state legislature. The bill, introduced by Sen. Irwin R. Brownstein of Brooklyn, was sponsored by the JWV. The American Jewish Committee, the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith and other major Jewish or- ganizations are opposed to the bill and have asked the governor to veto it on the ground that the vague language of the bill may render it open to the charge that it violates due process of law. New York State JWV Comman- der Maurice Gherman, in his let- ter to Gov. Rockefeller, said that the governor's failure to sign the bill would be misconstrued by hate-mongers as a victory for them. The JWV commander commend- ed the state legislature for amend- ing the penal code outlawing the dissemination, publishing, exhibit- Mg or uttering false and defama- tory matter in respect to any ra- cial, religious or ethnic group. * * * Many of the area men who were coached by Edward J.

MICHIGAN Young Israel Plans Apartments for Elderly, Synagogn e Downtown The Jewish senior citizens of Detroit will have apartments in a unique development project an- nounced this week by the Young Israel Council of Metropolitan De- troit. Independence Hall, a 264-unit high rise project in the Elmwood Park downtown area, will place emphasis on independence for the elderly who do not wish to live in a home for the aged but who can- not afford high rent in a "Jewish neighborhood." Rabbi Samuel H. Prero, presi- dent of the Young Israel Council, said construction hinges on final approval of a federal loan, now being studied by the Housing and Home Finance Agency. A decision was promised in some three months, Rabbi Prero said. "The city is willing," he added. Part of the area is now occupied by the Lafayette Avenue Cemetery, owned by Temple Beth El and at 114 years the oldest Jewish ceme- tery in Detroit. Reinterment will be necessary before the Young Is- rael project gets under way, but the temple has acquired another parcel of ground adjacent to the cemetery for such a purpose. Although approval of a federal loan requires that the development project be open on a nonsectarian basis, Rabbi Prero estimates 30 to 50 per cent of its residents will be Jewish. To encourage Jewish elderly to live there, a synagogue has been planned as an integral part of the area, at Chene and Maple. The nonprofit project will be governed by a group of area Detroiters who will serve in a voluntary capacity. Heading the trustees is Norman Allan, called by Rabbi Prero "a prime mover since the project's inception." Backing for the plans has come from the National Council of Young Israel, which coordinates the efforts of local Young Israel branches. This project is a first for the Council although similar projects in other cities have been undertaken successfully under Jewish Federation or organization auspices. Rabbi Prero said the Detroit Council has not worked through the Jewish Welfare Federation on this project, but had initiated its own plans for housing back in No- vember 1962. With a survey of the Jewish pop- ulation of Detroit and suburbs, the Council learned there was great need for such facilities for mem- bers of the Jewish faith. Research also proved that a synagogue and community center would have to be established nearby. (Downtown Synagogue on Griswold is some distance from the area). The apartment building will be open to individuals or couples age 62 or over, with an income of not less than $2,200 and not more than $4,800. This latter requirement is prescribed by federal government regulations. "This is not low-development housing," Rabbi Prero explained. "If certain legislative proposals go through, the government eventually will subsidize senior citizens who rent," thus bring- ing their costs down consider. ably. Valued at $3,000,000, the 22-story building contains features and services which have been specially designed and incorporated for sen- ior citizens. Rentals will range from $85 to $120 monthly for effi- ciency-type and one-bedroom units. Adjacent to Independence Hall is a new city park with a small lake and band shell. There are a snack bar and community rooms. Architects are Jude T. Fusco and John P. Morgan of Ferndale. Since renewal operations down- town have begun, 58 churches were taken out of the area. Young Israel will be the seventh "church" to locate facilities downtown. "We feel ultimately that 30,000 people will live in the inner city," said Rabbi Prero. "Our people will THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS 24—Friday, June 18, 1965 come only if there is a synagogue." ' The Young Israel national and local offices must advance $300,000 applications for federal mort- gages pending in Washington. However, Rabbi Prero said, Young Israel is further ahead in getting city approval and he is confident his organization will be approved. "If we should be stymied," he said, "we'll follow cost of the land and 2 per cent of through on another site. But it the cost of the project. would put us back one year." to show its good faith in the proj- ect. Over a period of 47 years, the money will be paid back by the federal government.
