800 Cheer Unionist,
Steel millhands and union VIPs
turned out 800-strong to honor a
friend of Israel Sunday night at
the Veterans Memorial Building.
Charles Younglove, who started
as a laborer at Great Lakes Steel
at 59 cents an hour in 1938, is
today district director of t h e
United Steelworkers of America.
The testimonial, sponsored by the
Israel Bond trade union division
for the sixth consecutive year,
came soon after Younglove and
his wife had visited Israel as guests
of the government.
More than $250,000 in bond
purchases were announced at the
dinner. Some were bought by
men who sit across from Young-
, love at the bargaining table but
who nurture a common interest
in Israel's future.

The Duty to Ransom Captives
From the Shulhan Arukh of
Rabbi Joseph Karo (1488-1575)
Ransoming captives comes be-
fore feeding or clothing the poor.
There is no act of charity more
meritorious than ransoming cap-
tives; therefore, money collected
for any worthy purpose whatso-
ever may be used as ransom, even
if originally collected for the erec-
tion of a synagogue. And further:
even if the building materials have
already been bought and the
beams squared (which makes it
a grave offense to sell them for
any other purpose) nevertheless,
it is permitted to sell them to
raise a ransom. However, if the
structure is already erected it
should not be sold . .
He who shuts his eyes against
the ransoming of captives trans-
gresses the negative precepts,
"Thou shalt not harden thy heart,"
and - (Thou shalt not) shut thy
hand"; also this, "Neither shalt
thou stand against the blood of
thy neighbor," and this, "He shall
not rule with rigor over him in
thy sight"; and he neglects the
positive precepts, "Thou shalt
surely open thy hand unto him,"
and "That thy brother may live
with thee," and "Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself," and "De-
liver them that are carried away
unto death."
Every moment that one delays
unnecessarily the ransoming of a
captive, it is as if he were to
shed blood.
Captives are not to be ran-
somed at an unreasonable cost,
for the safety of society; other-
wise, the enemies would exert
every effort to capture victims.
But a man may ransom himself
at any price. So also, a scholar
should be ransomed at a greater
price, or even a student who gives
promise of becoming a great
scholar.
Captives should be aided to
escape, for the sake of public
safety; lest the enemies treat the
captives with greater severity and
confine them under closer custody.
He who sells himself as a slave
to heathens, or who borrowed
from them and is enslaved by
them for non-payment, should be
ransomed the first and the sec-
ond time, but not if it happens a
third time . . . However, if his
life is in danger, he must be ran-
.
At the Charles Younglove Testimonial Dinner are (from left):
Mrs. Younglove; Younglove; Al Barbour, president of the Wayne
County AFL-CIO and master of ceremonies at the dinner; Emil
Mazey, UAW secretary-treasurer; and Judge Wade H. McCree Jr.
of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals, guest speaker. The dinner,
the sixth, sponsored by the Israel Bond Trade Union Division,
resulted in Israel Bond sales totaling more than $250,000.
Younglove addressed the guests
in terms they understand, describ-
ing his visit through Israel's steel
mills run by the Histadrut labor
federation ("they're small but no
less modern than the ones we
have") and dwelling on Israel's
efforts to provide job opportunities
for a widely diverse population.
Praising Labor Minister Yigal
Allon for his concern for the work_
ers' plight in the current economic
crisis, Younglove also cited Israel's
social legislation. "They're fight-
ing to take away the uncertainties
of the worker," he said.
His deference to Israel's rela-
tions with her Arab neighbors
("We could tell from the plane
where the borders were: where
Israel's carpet of green stops and
the wasteland begins") paralleled
remarks made by the speaker of
the evening, Judge Wade McCree
Jr. of the U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals.
dominated by force, we're not to
let Israel be overwhelmed by her
numerically superior neighbors."
He added that Israel's financial
resources have been "sorely taxed,"

somed immediately, no matter
how many times it has happened
before.
If a non-Jewish slave belonging
to a Jew is made captive, he is
to be ransomed like a captive
Israelite, since he is regarded as
a free man after he takes the re-
quired ritual bath and assumes
the obligations of certain Jewish
laws.
A woman is redeemed before a
man . . . If a captive man and
woman threaten suicide, the man
is rescued first.
If a man and his father and
his teacher are captives, he him-
self comes before his teacher; and
his teacher before his father; but
his mother comes before all.
If a man and his wife are cap-
tured, the wife is ransomed first,
and the court may seize his pro-
perty to ransom her; and even if
he protests, "Do not ransom her
with my property," no attention is
paid to him.
If a captive has property but
does not wish to ransom himself,
his ransom is paid against his will.
A father is obliged to ransom.

means and the son has not.—Arti-
