Scores of Generous Detroiters Double and Treble
Their Allied Jewish Campaign Gifts; Anticipate Earlier
Commencement of 1974 Drive to Fulfill Emergencies

philanthropic evidences in
history.
While a number of pre-
campaign meetings had al-
ready taken place to alert the
community to the needs cre-
ated by the fourth Arab-Israel
war, the impressive gather-
ing of more than 300 volun-
teer workers, Sunday
morning, at the United He-
brew Schools building on 12
Mile Road, served as an
assurance that Israel's needs
will not be ignored.

At the deeply moving dem-
onstration, there was an ex-
pression of loyalty to Israel's
tasks for survival and a tacit
commitment to assist in
every effort to overcome the
worldwide antagonism to Is-
rael stemming from oil as
well as enmities that border
on anti-Semitism.
Sunday's meeting also was
marked by a sense of disgust
over an emerging anti-
Semitism which found ex-
pression in anti-Semitic, vile

To my Jewish brothers and sisters—below is a tran-
script of a letter that I recently wrote to our great
President Richard M. Nixon.

Joseph Weisblatt

I wish to commend your Excellency for the great
speecth that you made last Friday night before the
American people. Your Excellency and President
Harry S. Truman will go down in history as two of
the greatest Presidents that our country ever had.
President Harry S. Truman gave Israel to the Jewish
people and President Richard M. Nixon saved
Israel for the Jewish people. As I wrote your Excel-
lency a short time ago, when this mess in Washing-
ton is finally finished, I am confident that your
Excellency will be cleared 100 per cent.

With my kindest regards to you, and your wonder-
ful family, I beg to remain your friend always.
GOD bless all of you.

Detroiters Take Part in ZOA

WASHINGTON, D.C. —
Ten Detroiters were among
the 200 leaders of the Zionist
Organization of America
from 40 states who met here
in an emergency two-day
conference Oct. 22-23. They
were briefed on the latest de-
velopments in the Middle
East by ZOA President Her-
man L. Weisman and Ambas-
sador Ehud Avriel, adviser
to the Israel foreign minis-
ter.
At the conclusion of the
session, Weisman delivered
a personal letter to President
Nixon, praising the President
for his "realistic action" in
ordering "direct delivery to
Israel of military equipment."
Weisman's letter urged that
the President adhere to his
stated policy, that "peace
should not be imposed upon
the countries concerned."
During the second day of
the conference, ZOA delega-
tions visited 20 members of
the Senate and over 100
members of the House of
Representatives.
The Michigan delegation
was headed by Richard B.
Kramer and included Mrs.
Sidney Brand, Rabbi Leon
Pram, Dr. Alex S. Fried

According to Kramer, the
Michigan congressmen ap-
peared virtually united in
support of President Nixon's
initial action in ordering war
material for Israel through-
out the crisis. They also
were firmly in favor of the
Jackson - Vanik Amendment
and the proposed grant of
$2,200,000,000 in aid to Israel,
Kramer said.

Senator Packwood
Insists Israel Have
Sovereignty Assured

NEW YORK — "Israel
should not give back one inch
^f territory." Sen. Bob Pack-
wood (R., Ore.) said here,
"without guarantees that her
sovereignty will be recog-
nized and her security as-
sured."
The senator addressed an
audience of about 800 busi-
ness leaders gathered at a
dinner at the Waldorf As-
toria Hotel to honor William
M. Batten, chairman of the
board of the J. C. Penny Co.,
who received the Ameri-
canism Award of the Anti-
Defamation League of Bnai
Brith.
Denouncing Arab use cf
economic coercion, Sen.
Packwood declared that "th"
United States will not be
blackmailed into abandoning
such allies as Israel—which
has a right to exist — in
exchange for oil from its
enemies."
Sen. Packwood stressed
• at even though a cease fire
may halt the firing, the
United States must continue
to supply Israel "with suf-
ficient arms not only to de-
fend herself but to negotiate
for its peace and security
from a position of parity."

ulation — indirectly and directly "ganged
up" on a tiny country. Israel is struggling
for survival. And what is her sin? She
has "gathered in" the remnants of her
oppressed people and offered them
shelter and hope. But I heard no outcry
of concern, of shock. President Nixon
did act in behalf of Israel. I respectfully
urge everyone to wire or write to the
President expressing approval of his
statesman like leadership.
