Many Familiar 30—Friday, April 26, 1974 TT JAIEW
Names in Book Dr. Marvin Herzog, Professor
on Detroit
of Yiddish at Columbia, to Speak

DON LOCHBILER

So many important names
and events are reported as
part of the Don Lochbiler his-
tory, that the second of his
volumes, "Detroit's Coming
of Age, 1873 to 1973," a
Wayne State University Press
volume, draws special inter..
est.
Albert Kahn is a name in-
erasable from the Detroit
story, and an entire chapter,
"Architect of Victory," is im-
portant not only as a record
of the work of the eminent
architect but also of the
many creative efforts with
which his name was linked.
Another name not to be for-
gotten in Detroit's history is
that of the one-time alderman
David Heineman who de-
signed the flag of Detroit.
Temple Beth El figures in
the history as having offered
use of its building on Wash-
ington and Clifford, in the
1860s, for use as vitally need-
ed classrooms.
David A. Brown is among
the unforgotten pioneers. Leo-
nard N. Simons has his role
as a leader in the Detroit
Historical Society. Isaac Co-
hen, a colleague of James
Kearney, had a share in the
building of the Belle Isle
Bridge, in 1915.
There is a story about a
function in honor of Thomas
Edison, at Greenfield Village,
at which President Herbert
Hoover delivered an address
in 1929. Lochbiler relates:
"One of the informal witti-
cisms of the evening has
been preserved. It rippled
across the tables, from Otto
H. Kahn to Julius Rosenwald
and George Eastman, from
Charles M. Schwab a n d •
Adolph S. Ochs to Walter P.
Chrysler, Henry Morgenthau,
James W. Gel-aid and Dan-
iel Willard. They were saying
that you could round up a
quorum of directors at the
banquet for any billion-dollar
corporation you could name—
and considering the precar-
ious state of the stock market,
it was a good thing too."
An interesting name is that
of Moses Jacobs, a paper
dealer, who was injured in
the fire, Nov. 6, 1895, in
Newspaper Row, when the
old Detroit Journal Building
on Lamed was shattered in
the ensuing explosion.
There are many more inci-
dents and references to per-
sonalities, all combining to
make Lochbiler's a fantastic
story.

Then the Lord stood over
him, and said: "I am the
Lord, the God of your father
Abraham and of Isaac. The
land on which you are lying,
I am going to give to you
and your descendants."
Gen. 28:13.
