24 Friday, May 16, 1975 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.

Austrians Discontinue Nazi Case VIENNA (JTA) — -The Austrian Justice Depart- ment, acting clandestinely, discontinued criminal pro- ceedings one year ago against Franz Murer, a Nazi war criminal believed re- sponsible for the death of 80,000 Jews in the Vilna ghetto during World War II. - • Simon Wiesenthal, head of the Nazi War Crimes Documentation Center here, said that he discovered the order of discontinuance by accident when he checked with the Justice Ministry on the progress of the Murer case. Wiesenthal, who played a part 'in tracking down Adolf Eichmann, found Murer hiding out in an Austrian inn in 1947. He was extradited to the So- 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 will appeal the court's deci- sion. viet Union where he was sentenced to a 25-year prison term for war crimes but was returned to his na- tive Austria in 1955 on con- dition that a new trial would be held. Murer went 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. . Abyssinians Block Exit of Falashas JERUSALEM (ZINS) — At the hospital, too, the The Abyssinian authorities, last moments of the ghetto at the last moment, have were terrible.
