Councilman Connor Sees
Signing of Pollution Bill

Councilman Edward Connor,
candidate for re-election to his
seventh term on the Detroit Com-
mon Council, was a White House
visitor at the request of President
Johnson Oct. 2 when the 1965 Wat-
er Pollution Bill was signed.
The bill will increase the amount
of funds the federal government
will contribute for the construc-
tion of sewage treatment plants.
Councilman Connor, who is the
first Detroit council member to
participate in one of President
Johnson's h i s t o r i c pen-signing
ceremonies, has been a moving
force in the development of this
legislation.

Editor, The Jewish News:
Several times I was irked by
the misrepresentation in the de-
scription of the teacher shortage in
Jewish education in Detroit. Now
I read the same nonsense dated
New York (JTA) in the Oct. 1
issue of The Jewish News.
I am not quaified to speak about
all the Jewish communities in the
U.S. (even though the situation is
the same all over). I will also omit
the parochial schools which are
doing a fine job as far as religious
learning is concerned. We are
talking only of the afternoon
schools in the Detroit area. This
I am familiar with.
I have been a student of Hebrew
all my life. I know personally many
Hebrew teachers in town, and I
know the pitiful circumstances
they are working under, the iron-
heel dictatorship they face. I can
name a few educators in town who
are capable of producing good
teachers. I also know some qual-
ified Hebrew teachers who get
work but only one hour per week.
And some qualified good teachers
who can not afford to stay in the
profession for the simple reason
they get hungry occasionally. Many
of them do not utter any protest
in fear of retribution.
I have been a frequent visi-
tor in . . . Detroit synagogues.
At a wedding, where the most
respected rabbi in town of-
ficiated, the bridegroom did not
know his Jewish name. The
father of the groom didn't know
it either.
An elderly lady in the family
saved the day, and the rabbi filled
in the empty space in the
"kethuba." I asked the rabbi, "Why
are we so dismayed with . . . Rus-
sia? What the Soviet Union is
doing with (enforced assimilation)
we are doing willingly ourselves."
The rabbi smiled bitterly and shook
his head.
In Poland about 200 years ago,
an anti-Semitic priest said: "Why
kill, why massacre the Jews? Give
them freedom, and within 100 years
they will disappear from the sur-
face of the earth."
Is the "vanishing American Jew"
a reality? Are our values disap-
pearing? And what about our chil-
dren, brothers and sisters who live
in Israel? The Hebrew languague
is the most important bridge be-
tween American Jewry and the
state of Israel. We spend many
many millions to help build Israel.
Why are we neglecting ourselves
and the future generations of Jews
in America?
. . . In our lust for material
wealth, we neglected our heritage.

American believes strongly in
advertisement . . . Why not induce
our children and grandchildren
to study Hebrew with a prospect
of a certain present at their grad-
uation from Hebrew high school?
For instance, a trip to Israel?
Let's bring the Jewish youngster
in to the Hebrew school. Give the
Hebrew teacher human dignity.
And stop whining about the short-
age of Hebrew teachers. Charity
begins at home.
A DETROITER

•
Defends Dr. Waldbott

Editor, The Jewish News:
This is in reply to the article in
The Jewish News of Oct. 1, regard-
ing Dr. Waldbott's book, "A Strug-
gle With Titans."
This book has been in the process
of being written, edited and doc-
umented for the past three years.
I know this to be a fact because
I am his secretary and have writ-
ten, rewritten and written again
every word that has gone into the
book.
It, therefore, is unfair to state
that "A Struggle" was written "as
another clever tactic, released at
a time when Detroit is in the
midst of this controversy." Actually
the book was due to come out in
June, but because Dr. Waldbott
insisted that every word in it be
documented, its appearance was
delayed until now .. .
I am writing this letter without
Dr. Waldbott's knowledge . . .
My sole purpose is to bring the
truth and not for personal gain. I
trust that people will not accept
the word of a few professional
men who are promoting fluorida-
tion for their own purposes and
have forgotten their Hippocratic
oath .. .

Struggle Against
Apartheid Told
in Mandela Book

The tragedies that m ark the
South African situation and a first-
hand report on the struggle against
apartheid are contained in "No
Easy Walk to Freedom," by Nelson
Mandela, published by Basic Books
(401 Park, S., NY16).
Because the volume contains the
experiences of the author as well
as of the scores of people who are
engaged in this battle, this volume
emerges as an important document
depicting the courageous efforts of
those seeking self-liberation and
freedom for the black man.
Encountering dangers at every
step, Mandela relates the sad plight
of those who live under apartheid,
exposes the tactics of those who
are responsible for the oppressive
conditions and describes the re-
sistance of the underground forces.
Court cases, the mass jailing,
the manner in which Africa is
ruled by the gun — these and
many more experiences are re-
corded.
Inter alia, Mandela points out
that the terms of High Command
and Regional Command used by
the libertarians "were an importa-
tion from the Jewish nation under-
ground organization I r g u n Zvai
Leumi, which operated in Israel
between 1944 and 1948."
In his explanation of the struggle,
and the rights that are sought for
equality, Mandela writes that
"above all, we want equal political
rightism because without them our
disabilities will be permanent."
His "No Easy Walk to Freedom"
is a deeply moving and powerful
document that should be read by
all libertarians and by all who
share with the author the hope on
justice for his people.

Judge Baum Urges
Change in Custody Laws

A 14-page letter urging change
in Michigan's "uncertain, blurred
and confused" child custody laws
was sent to a special State House
of Representatives committee by
Circuit Court Judge Victor J.
Baum.
Judge Baum's letter to the com-
mittee studying domestic relations
laws said the best interests of the
child must be considered first.
"The very uncertainty of our child
custody laws promotes litigation,
encourages appeals from the de-
cisions of trial judges and is psy 2
chologically unsettling to the fami-
lies — particularly to their chil-
dren," he said.

Israel Asks U.S. Keep Up
Economic Aid Program

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Finance
Minister Pinhas Sapir asked a
United States aid official for con-
tinuance of American economic as-
sistance on the same conditions
as previously.
Sapir met with H. Waters, depu-
ty administrator of the U.S. Mutual
Assistance Program. The minister
cited Israel's balance-of-payments
problems as well as the heavy bur-
den of Israel's foreign indebted-
ness, in explaining the request.

"Individual savings is one of the
most stabilizing factors in our
economy that insures both per-
sonal and national freedom," Rob-
ert J. Hutton, president of Standard
Federal Savings and Loan Associa-
tion of Detroit, said, announcing
the institution's participation in
National Thrift Week, Oct. 17 to
23.
Standard Federal, Detroit's old-
est and one of the nation's largest
savings and loan associations, cele-
brates National Thrift Week in
1965 with a citywide thrift promo-
tion in its main office in Detroit's
Civic Center and 11 branch offices
located in the city and suburbs.
Through newspaper and tele-
vision advertising, Standard is
offering a free "thrift" game to all
who stop in at their offices during
this week and an electric alarm
clock to all who open or add to
savings accounts with $200 or more.
