Ehrliclunan' s Orthodox Jewish. Grandfather
Another myth has been
shattered — the charge that
"The Germans" dominated
the Watergate clique.
Now it appears that one of
this group really stems from
a Jewish background.
A story in the New York
Post reveals that John D.
Ehrlichman's paternal grand-
parents were Jews.
While Ehrlichman report-
edly pleaded that the story
should not be published, the
Post did print it. It re-
veals that Ehrlichman's
grandfather, Walter Ehrlich-
man, a leading merchant,
was one of the founders of
the Seattle, Wash., Ortho-
dox Bikur Cholim Congrega-
tion; that upon his death his
wife became a Christian
Scientist, enrolling her four
children into Christian Sci-
ence, and that all of them

The Canadian suit
you had to smuggle.
Until now, the only way you could get this
distinctive Canadian designed suit (We can't
mention the name) was to buy it in Canada. That
sometimes meant smuggling, and a lot of hassle.
Now we offer this same suit in beautiful downtown
Warren. No borders to cross. We have a complete
selection of these famous Toronto tailor-mades.
Our price is a little higher but we pay the duty and
bring them in legally. Save time, gas and a possible
embarrassing time at the border. Visit Van Dyke in
Warren. You'll find a lot of import goodies not
common in the Detroit area. That's why we're
about a year ahead of Detroit.

Rabbi Korff told Boston
newsmen that the objective
of the campaign was "to dis-
tribute a mass petition to
obtain 1,000,000 signatures"
to protest against the Sen-
ate 'committee hearings, as
well as to collect funds for
more advertisements..
Rabbi Korff, who is not a
member of any national rab-
binical organization, said the
American people "are out-
raged at the lynching syn-
drome of the televised pro-
gram."
He also told newsmen that
he collected $3,000 from com-
mittee contributors and bor-
rowed the balance from the
United National Bank of
Norton, Mass., to pay for the
ad.
Dr. EDWARD J. MIR-

and a founder of the Ameri-

tributions to the university,
including a recently estab-
lished scholarship fund for
culturally disadvantaged stu-
dents.
They'll hate it
because we won't have
things like clowns giving
away free suckers and
balloons. They'll hate it
because all we're offering
at Bob Saks Grand
Opening are Oldsmobiles.
And the best reason we
can give you to buy one
from us: people.
See, we hired our
people because they're
experts at treating other
people with thoughtfulness
and friendliness—things
we think are a lot more
important than popcorn
and sales pitches. So you
won't have to be afraid
of being fast-talked into a
car you don't want when
you come here to look at
cars. And when you come
to Bob Saks for service,
you won't go away with a
big bill you don't
understand, or with a big
headache from trying to
talk to a mechanic who's
just out to sell as many fan
belts as he can.
We're offering all the
same things at our Grand
Opening that you can
expect to find here any day
of the year. cars you'll
enjoy seeing ,and people
you'll enjoy talking to about
cars. Your children might
be too little to understand.
But we think you'll like our
Grand Opening very much.
