THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Impact of Jewish Cooking
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
(Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.)
The importance of the
Jewish mothers' cooking in
preserving our heritage is to
be seen in the various foods
associated with the holi-
days. Would we know it was
Purim without haman-
_ tashen; Hanuka without
latkes or Shavuot without
blintzes?
We think the Purim ha-
mantashen convey the mes-
sage of that holiday as well
as the rabbi's sermon.
The Jewish mother has
not been given the credit
for her inventiveness. Con-
sider the waste on the in-
dustrial world of today.
The Jewish mother wasn't
guilty of such things. She
took the left overs and
combined them — and be-
hold — there was
tsimmes?
Take the ordinary Jewish
immigrant even in America
— which was truly a Pr6m-
ised Land to him. He had
been forced to emigrate. He
couldn't speak the language
well.
He would pick up his Jew-
ish paper and read about po-
groms in a half dozen differ-
ent parts of the world, about
quotas limiting Jews going
to college, about a score of
other discriminations.
But on Saturday he would
come from the synagogue —
and there would be kugel. It
was good to eat and if there
is one thing good, maybe
there are other things good.
Some day, he said to hin
self, the whole world will L.
as good as kugel.
REGULATION AND TRUCKING
Some people feel the regulated transportation
system of the United States should not be regulated.
They argue, the industry which approves of regulation,
must be' lining their pockets because of it And for
these reasons, they argue the Interstate Commerce
Commission should be abolished.
We have regulation for one prime reason—to insure
transportation service and standardized rates for com-
munities located away from major shipping centers
such as Detroit. Here, there is no cutthroat competi-
tion or biased rates. A shipper in Alpena can send his
freight for the same rate as a shipper of similar freight
in _Detroit.
Shippers and merchants in places like Muskegon,,
Jackson, Petoskey and Midland can count on regular
service and standard rates that do not change daily..or
'hourly because of ICC regulation.
The way we see it, without regulation, Michigan
communities would have little to depend- upon, ex-
cept extremely poor service and a- very unfair rate
system.
A regulated transportation system is not the best
of all possible worlds, But it is far better than no
transportation system at all. Or worse, a government-
run system.

Rosenbaum Bail
Set At $2 Million
GENEVA, May '7 (JTA)
— A Geneva remand court
set $2 million for financier
Tibor Rosenbaum who is
charged with "misman-
agement." Sources close to
the Rosenbaum family term
the bail as "prohibitive" and
say that there is no chance
they will be able to raise it.
Abraham Rimmer, a di-
rector of the International
Credit Bank controlled by
Rosenbaum, was set free
without bail. He was
charged with "fraudulent
stock exchange maneuvers,"
a crime under Swiss crimi-
nal court.
Baron de RothsChild, the
Israel Corporation's chair-
man, first lodged a criminal
complaint against Rosen-
baum last October. Roths-
child since discovered that
Michael Tzur, former corpo-
ration director, had trans-
ferred to Rosenbaum $2 mil-
lion on April 29, 1974. It is
believed that Rosenbaum

sion.

on trial in Graz in 1964 but
was acquitted. The Aus-
trian Supreme Court or-
dered a re-trial the follow-
ing year but it was never
held.
Warsaw Uprising Leader
Breaks Silence in Article
By EDWIN EYTAN
(Copyright 1975, JTA, Inc.)
The last of the five men
who led the Warsaw Ghetto
uprising broke his 32-year
silence in an interview with
the French magazine L'Ex-
press.
Dr. Marek Edelman does
not like to talk about his
painful memories. The War-
saw uprising was not, for
him, a chance to die with
glory, but .a way of inform-
ing the world of the ghetto's
existence.
During the Warsaw up-
rising, which lasted from
April 19 to May 10, 1943, the
handful of Jews who shot at
their Nazi oppressors had
only one hope. The hope
that, on the other side of the
wall that surrounded the
ghetto,, the whole world
would learn they were not
dead without a battle.
Mordecai Anielewicz's
group became best-known ,
of the ghetto uprising. On
May 8, when they realized
they could do nothing
more, they used their last
bullets for themselves and
their families. Edelman
and 40 of his companions
escaped through a sewer.
Dr. Edelman, a messen-
ger at the Warsaw Hospital
during the ghetto period,
said he had never under-
stood why the Germans
wanted to take the Jews
from the ghetto to die at
Treblinka. They could have
let the typhoid take care of
them; 5,000 died every
month.
