Detroit Praised in Letter
to LBJ by Ben Levinson
A tribute to Detroit in the area
of housing for Negroes was ex-
pressed in a letter to President
Johnson by Benjamin Levinson,
president of Franklin Mortgage
Corp.
Levinson pointed out that De-
troit has the highest percentage
of Negro home ownership in the
country. Franklin services some
$135,000,000 of U.S. government-
insured and guaranteed - mort-
ga-es, of which over 70 per cent
are on homes occupied by Negro
mortgagers.
"I am delighted to tell you,"
Levinson wrote, "that they make
their payments regularly, and they
respect their properties. Certain-
ly, they contribute to the inte-
grated areas that they move into."
Contrasting the peaceful Detroit
situation with the disturbance in
California, Levinson gave much
credit to Mayor Cavanagh and
said "where intelligence, under-
standing and willingness to co-
operate is put into practice, good
will and progress will prevail."
Israeli Professionals
Call Off Strike Plans
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A gen-
eral strike of some 20,000 Israeli
physicians, engineers and other
professionals employed in govern-
ment and public enterprises which
had been scheduled for Sept. 5,
was averted Monday. Representa-
tives of the professionals and the
government reached agreement on
a schedule for the granting of
salary adjustments on a par with
administrative officials, Finance
Minister Pinhas Sapir informed
the Cabinet Sunday.
The strike was to have been in
protest against the government's
delay in carrying out the salary
adjustments already agreed upon.
The details of the agreement will
be worked out by a joint commis-
sion representing the government
and the professionals.

Tobe Poscher Workshop of the
Jewish Museum. The box above,
designed for permanent display
in the Jewish home as a remin-
der of mitzva of tzedaka, has
been selected by the Museum of
Modern Art in New York as an
addition to its permanent collec-
tion of contemporary objects of
good design. The Tobe Poscher
Workshop was established ten
years ago at the Jewish Museum
through the generosity of Dr.
and Mrs. Abram Kanof and their
families. Under the direction of
Ludwig Wolpert, master Israeli
craftsman, it undertakes to
c r ea t e and produce well-de-
signed ceremonial objects for
