`Humble Peddler' Leaves $120,000 to Charity
European Travelogue
to Benefit Cancer Society
Every year since the 1920s,
Samuel Bookman renewed his ped-
dler's license so he could sell
novelties and notions door to door.
He lived in a small apartment on
Richton, where he paid $1 a day
for rent.
It was disclosed this week that
Mr. Bookman, who died May 3,
1964. at age 80, left almost $120,-
000 to three Jewish philanthro-
pies. According to terms of his
will, Chesed shel Emes, Hebrew
Free Loan Association and the
Jewish Home for the Aged each
have received almost $35,000 in
Edison and General Motors stock,
along with more than $4,000 in
cash.

A job well done.
"Yeyasher kokhakha"—may your
strength be enriched.
Indeed, I enjoyed very much
reading the work-over you gave
Bernard Levin. He deserves it, and
you did it like an artist, with wis-
dom, knowledge and humor. There
is but one point that I have re-
servation to. And before I tell you
more about it, let me inform you
that I am NOT a Marxist. I do not
think that it was proper for you to
shlep in Marxists into this matter.
And this for a number of reasons,
including the tactical reason that
while up until this point a Marxist
could beautifully go along with
you, at this point you unnecessari-
ly antagonized him. The fact of the
matter is that there have been
Marxists as proud of their Jewish-
ness as Hashomer Hatzair (and
come to think of it even Bund)
and there have been crawling non-
Marxists such as Bernard Levi n.
You made matters even worse by
shlepping in, in a few words, such
an encyclopedic range as the Jew-
ish policies of the USSR and that
of the unlamented Bevin. With re-
gard to the former you once more
raise the unjustified accusation
(not of induced assimilationism
but) of outright anti-Semitism, and
with regard to the latter making
the mistake of introducing Bevin
as a Marxist, which he certainly
was not, nor claimed to be.
However, in this letter of mine
there is a certain disproportion of
space. For certainly I appreciate in
your article much more than I take
exception to. Again "Yeyasher ko-

"His leadership talents have
been evidenced throughout Carey's
20 years of distinguished public
service," his supporters assert.
"Prior to his election to the De-
troit Common Council in 1957,
Carey made an outstanding record
during his 12 years in the House
of Representatives of the Michigan
Legislature. For eight of those
years, he was administration floor
leader. During his service at Lan-
sing, veteran newspapermen voted
Carey the most valuable member
of the Legislature.
"As a member of the Detroit
Common Council, Carey saved De-
troit taxpayers more than $8,000,-
000 by obtaining extra welfare
funds from the state. He sponsored
