ground of the community.
The first event scheduled is
a bus tour of Jewish historic
sites during which an unveil-
ing ceremony of a State of
Michigan Historical Marker
will take place at the oldest
Jewish burial ground in
Michigan, the Lafayette
Street Cemetery of Temple
Beth El, Detroit. The Detroit
Historical Museum will be
the site of another major
event, May 19, when the De-
troit Historical Commission
and the Jewish Historical So-
ciety of Michigan will spon-

eon audience at Northland

Katz's presentation is the
life and times of Chapman
Abraham, the first known
Jew in Detroit.

field Village, the Henry Ford
Museum and the Ford River
Rouge Plant, on Monday. •
Participating in the May
18 unveiling ceremonies . will
be Rabbi Hertz, Canvasser
and Goulson,• chairman of
Temple Beth El Cemetery
Board, as well as a number
of state and local dignitaries.
The oldest Jewish burial
ground in Michigan, the half-
acre cemetery, dedicated on
Jan. 1, 1851, was known ori-
ginally as "The Champlain
Street Cemetery of Temple
Beth El" because Lafay-
ette was formerly called
Champlain Street. The first
interment was in the fall of
1851, and in 1854, Samuel
Marcus, the first rabbi of the
congregation, was buried
there. Containing the remains
of many Jewish war veterans,
the cemetery was an active
one until the 1950s.

The American Jewish His-
torical Society convention
also will commemorate the
150th anniversary of the
American Jewish press.

, Highlight of the session,
which will be chaired by
Philip Slomovitz, will be two
research papers, - one by
Bernard Postal, who will dis-
cuss "The American Jewish
Weekly Press after 150
rears." Rabbi A. James Ru-
din, assistant director of the
interreligious affairs depart-
ment of the American Jewish
Committee, will deal w:th a
famous editor in a paper en-
titled "Jacob De Haas,
Herzl's Press Agent."
March 1973 marked the
sesquicentennial of the ap-
pearance of the first Jewish
periodical in the United
States. Entitled "The Jew,"
this English language paper
was edited in New York City
by Solomon Henry Jackson.
A conversionist magazine,
"Israel's Advocate," had ap-
peared early in 1823 and
Jackson shortly thereafter
issued "The Jew." Actually,
the publication was not really
TA newspaper but a tract,
published periodically, to re-
fute the missionaries. It last-
ed until 1825. Jackson had
married out of the faith
but after the death of his
tvif
• e reared his children as
observant Jews. Well versed
in Hebrew and in Jewish
lore, Jackson turned to He-
brew printing and publish-
ing.

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
Two East Jerusalem Arab
editors arrested April 15 on
suspicion of sedition and in-
citement were released on
IL 2,000 bail each by a Jeru-
salem district court.

Joseph Nasr, editor and
publisher of the East Jeru-
salem weekly, Al Fajar, and
Jamil Hamad, assistant edi-
tor, had been remanded in
custody for 15 days pending
trial. Israeli authorities
charged that the two had fail-
ed' to submit their stories to
the censor.

The court allowed bail over
the objections of Jerusalem
police who wanted to hold
Nasr for further questioning.

Froth were detained after
publishing a report that ac-
cused Israel and Jordan of
collaboration in the Israeli
commando raids on terrorist
headquarters in Beirut on
April 10 in which three ter-
rorist leaders were killed.
Jordan called the report
"completely unfounded" and
accused the weekly of serv-
ing Israeli intelligence.
The arrest of the two edi-
tors raised a storm of criti-
cism in the Israeli press.
Haaretz said it damaged Is-
rael's image. Maariv said the
detention of the pair would
be viewed as punishment for
expressing anti-Israel opin-
ions.
In addition to alleging Is-
raeli-Jordan collusion, Al
Fajr published a front page
editorial urging Arabs to
mourn the slain terrorist
leaders.

Press to Follow Brandt

BONN (JTA)—West Ger-
many's Chancellor Willy
Brandt will be accompanied
and scores more from other
countries of the European
Economic Community when
he visits Israel in June.

new national economic plan
covering the five-year period
up to 1978 was introduced by
Finance Minister Pinhas Sa-
pir in the cabinet Monday.
He called for an expanded
economy to meet the needs
of 65,000 new immigrants
yearly. The plan, which will
be debated next week by the
ministerial economic commit-
tee, calls for an average year-
ly gross national product of
7.8 per cent and an average
annual increase of 4.5 per
cent in productivity.
Planning officials figure
that by 1978 the Israeli econ-
omy must expand to handle
an estimated population in-
crease annually of 3.3 per
cent.
In five years, Israel should'
have a population of 3,800,000,
on increase of 600,000, offi-
cials say. Exports, according
to the projections, are to in-
crease at an annual rate of
5.8 per cent, while imports
should rise annually by 8
per cent.

told a news conference here
that the plan allows for an
increase in the standard of
living of 3 per cent annually.
The officals hinted that a
new round of taxes may be
required to meet the costs of
the plan. Sapir noted that his
proposed added value tax
should come into force next
year.
