Scholle: Israel
Trying to Reach
Peaceful Solution
August Scholle of Royal Oak,
18th District candidate for Con-
gress, in a talk to a group of La-
bor Zionists last week, said that
"The United States has a respon-
sibility and an obligation — to
support democratic countries in
crisis. Israel is a democratic
country in crisis."
Scholle, Michigan chairman of
Histradut, is a member of the
Jewish Labor
Committee, a s
well as the na-
tional executive
board of hista-
drut.
Scholle has
raised money for
Israel which has
been used in
setting up the
Scholle Scholar-
ship Fund. The
Schalk
fund gives aid to
12 students annually in Israel who
wish to attend Israeli universities.
Visiting Israel in 1967, Scholle
observed the Jewish labor move-
ment in action and viewed the po-
litical problems first-hand. He re-
ported, "The situation I saw at
that time made it apparent that
Israel was, and presumably still
is, making every effort to estab-
lish a peaceful solution of the dif-
ferences between Israel and the
Arab nations.
"There are obviously serious -
and vexing problems still con-
fronting Israel and the Arab na-
tions which must be resolved on
a fair and equitable basis. But
war will never be the way to
their final disposition," Scholle
said.
Scholle also made a reference
to his Republican opponent when
he said, "Some of our political of-
fice holders claim a pious friend-
ship for Israel, a democratic na-
tion, but simultaneously claim an
equally pious friendship for mili-
tary dictatorships throughout the
world. I presume that to have one
foot on both horses is a good way
to get votes and lead people to be-
lieve that you love everybody."
based on the idea of lifting the
county government from its Pres-
ent organisational quagmire by
securing a county charter which
will reduce the number of elec-
tive- officers and independent
commissions and improving the
Home Rule Act to permit this."
Among the specific improve-
ments in county government he
envisions are the provision by the
sheriff's office of technical and
detective services for the town-
ships, while the county should con-
tinue and expand the present pro-
gram for drug abuse education and
treatment. He also seeks "more
adequate supervision of probation-
ers to prevent repeaters in crime."
To relieve an excessive burden
from the homeowner, he said,
"major building and undeveloped
land assessments should be per-
formed by county-level civil serv-
ants, rather than politically vul-
nerable township officials."

In a letter to its affiliated orga-
nizations, the Jewish Community
Council of Metropolitan Detroit
has urged a "yes" vote on Pro-
posal C, the anti-"parochiaid"
amendment, in Tuesday's election.
The Council appeal was in follow-
up of the action of its delegate
assembly which last spring re-
affirmed its opposition to public
aid to private and parochial schools
and endorsed the constitutional
amendment campaign.
The position of the delegate as-
sembly, it was noted by Walter
Klein, Council director, was not
concurred by the Council of Ortho-
dox Rabbis.
Detroit's Jewish Community
Council has long been opposed to
public support of nonpublic educa-
tion, Klein noted, adding that this
position "has been in accord with
the expressed views of the pre-
ponderance of national Jewish or-
ganizations and of local Jewish
communities throughout the coun-
try. Jewish community opposition
is based generally upon historic
considerations of the dangers of
involvement between government
and religion and upon the over-
whelming financial needs of the
public schools, which must rely
exclusively upon public funding."
Pointing to "the increasing
drain which parochiaid Imposes
upon public funding," the Coun-
cil statement recalled that since
Michigan started its program of
assistance to private education
in 1963, the amount has expanded
15 times to the 122,000,000 Pres-
ently allocated.
Charges that private school stu-
dents would lose such services as
remedial reading, driver training
and health programs if Proposal
C is adopted, were denied by the
Council.

for Charter Commission
Kathleen Straus, a division direc-
tor of the Southeast Michigan Coun-
cil of Governments (SEMCOG), is
a candidate for City Charter com-
missioner in Tuesday's election.
She is advocating modernizing
Detroit's charter so that Detroiters
may have an up-to-date, flexible
framework for urban government.
In the nonpartisan contest, nine
commissioners will be elected,
from among 18 who were nomi-
nated in August, to revise the city's
50-year-old charter.
Mrs. Straus is a past president
of Schulze Community Council and
Schulze School PTA and was presi-
dent of the League of Women
Voters of Detroit. She served on the
Detroit Metropolitan Area Regional
Planning Commission and on the
Commission on Community Rela-
tions. Formerly assistant director
of the Mayor's Committee for
Community Renewal, she was
assistant director of the Detroit
Model Neighborhood Agency. In
1966, Mrs. Straus was elected a
trustee of the Wayne County Com-
munity College.
