Adolph Deutsch's Memory Honored;
Record of Achievements Acclaimed

Adolph Deutsch, founder and
chairman of the board of Ameri-
can Savings and Loan Association
and for several decades one of De-
troit's distinguished citizens, died
last Saturday at the age of 86.
Funeral services were held Mon-
day noon at the Bnai Moshe Syna-
gogue, which the deceased served
as president, and the tribute by
Rabbi Moses Lehrman echoed
the tributes to his memory that

are pouring in from scores of in-
dividuals and community groups.
The synagogue's sanctuary was
filled to capacity. The El Mole
was recited by Cantor Louis Klein.
A self-made man in the true
Horatio Alger tradition, Adolph
Deutsch left as his memorial a
praiseworthy record of achieve-
ments in his personal, religious and
business life when he passed away.
just a few months after his 86th
birthday.
Highlight of his last year was
the celebration of the 20th anni- '
versary of American Savings and
Loan Association, which he found-
ed at an age when most men are
thinking of retirement. The asso-
ciation, culmination of a life of
fruitful business activity, grew
under the leadership of Adolph
Deutsch and his sons, Alfred and
Charles, into a 5191.000.000 con-
cern.
Born in Ercsi, Hungary, son of
a grain broker, Adolph Deutsch
was educated at the University
of Budapest. He came as a young
man to the United States at the
turn of the century. Though he '
had only $10 in his pocket, the
young Deutsch had other assets
—a good mind and a firm pur-
pose—to make something of him-

Goldmann May Retire
as President of WZO

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The Israeli
press reports that Dr. Nahum
Goldmann has decided to resign as
president of the World Zionist Or-
ganization, and of the World Jewish
Congress.
Dr. Goldmann based the move on
his age, 73. The press notes that
Dr. Goldmann had expressed the
wish to leave his dual office prior
to the previous congress, but later
reversed himself.
This time. however, as some put
it. Dr. Goldmann is really planning
to resign because of his failure to
effect a change in the structure of
the World Zionist OrgLnization, and
to draw a substantial following to
the movement.
The same sources concede that
there has been little harmony be- i
tween him and the agency leader-
ship. It is rumored in the Zionist
Actions Committee that the coming
congress might not elect a presi-
dent, but only a chairman of the
executive.

as an American and a Jew.
His first job, in a New York
steamship office, paid him $5 a
week. There his ability in five
languages, his warmth and energy
soon brought him his first raise-
50 cents. Two years later he and
his brother, the late Anthony
Deutsch, opened their own steam-
ship ticket office.
Though his first business venture
was a success, Deutsch looked for
new fields to conquer, and found
them in the banking business. He
allied himself with the Newcastle
Bank in Pennsylvania. There, as
head of the foreign desk, he soon
found himself occupied not only
with the banking business of the
city's foreign born, but with their
legal and personal problems as
well.
Mr. Deutsch felt the town offered
limited opportunity for the future.
He moved his wife and family to
