t1 ' t 1".1 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS JIM. 'Applauds' Attack on Soviet Mission, Denies Responsibility NEW YORK (JTA) — The Jewish Defense League has issued a statement saying that "we heartily applaud" the firing of several bullets into an apartment building in the Soviet UN Mission's residence • in the Riverdale section of New York last week but denied any connec- tion with the Jewish Armed Resistance, the group that claimed responsibility for the shootings. At the same time, the Soviet Mission to the UN complained to the world body about the incident which it termed "a terrorist act." In a letter to the U.S. Mission to the UN, the So- 'Os demanded that the U.S. identify and punish those responsible for firing two to four shots into the lobby _of-the apartment building in the Soviet com- pound and pay the Soviet Mission for damages. Police who investigated said that two to four bullets were fired into the lobby of the compound's apartment building. There were no in- juries. The Soviet letter, however, noted that one of the bullets passed very close to a mission employe who was in the lobby. Shortly after the firings a woman telephoned the press to say that the Jeiv- ish Armed Resistance took responsibility for the act. Israelis Score Nomination of Ex-Nazi as Rotary Leader TEL AVIV (JTA) — Is- raelis are protesting vigor- ously against the nomina- tion of Wolfgang Wick, of Austria, for the office of world president of the Inter- national Rotary Clubs. They- say that Wick, who will stand for election at the Rotary convention in New Orleans shortly, has a Nazi record.

' Zeidel, of the Independent Liberal Party, Wick became an active member of the Nazi Party in 1933, wrote a book on the Nazi movement in Switzerland and served as Commissar for Nazi indus- try in Austria during World War II. Zeidel has urged Israeli Rotarians to protest his nomination and to threaten to quit the world-wide fra- ternity of businessmen if Wick is elected. Lucien Harris, gcATernor `of the Israeli Rotary Club, has already cabled Rotary International headquart- ers in Evanston, Ill. that Wick's Nazi past disquali- fies him from office. Zeidel has also asked the Weiz- mann Institute of Science to withdraw an invitation sent to Wick to attend the dedication of the new French House at the Insti- tute in Rehovot. The invi- tation apparently was sent before the information on Wick's alleged Nazi activi- ties was disclosed here. Israelis are not the only ones protesting. Dutch Ro- tarians have reportedly threatened to bre-ak away from the international or- ganization if Wick is elected and Belgian and Swiss Ro- tarians are said to be ac- tively opposed to his nomi- nation.

Maxwell House Coffee Honors Famous Jewish-American Patriots Canada to Stop Entry of Terrorists TORONTO (JTA) — The Canadian House of Com- mons has passed a tempo- rary but tough new measure aimed at preventing the en- try of terrorists into Canada this year. The Temporary Immigration Security Act was adopted at the urging of Immigration Minister Rob- ert Andres who warned that "time is of the essence" and "we need this and we need it now." The law will permit Cana- dian officials to bar admis- sion to any visitors "likely to engage in acts of violence that would or might endan- ger the lives or safety of per- sons in Canada." The measure will expire Dec. 31 but it will be in force during the Olympic games in Montreal this summer and the United Nations Habitat Conference in Van- couver in June. Amsterdam Honors Dutch Resistance AMSTERDAM (JTA) — The 35th anniversary of the February 1941 strike, when a large portion of the popu- lation of Amsterdam and neighboring towns went on strike to protest the Nazi de- portation of the 400 Dutch- Jewish youths to concentra- tion camps, was marked last week. As has happened ev- ery year since the end of World War II, the gesture of resistance to Nazi brutality was commemorated by a parade headed by the mayor and aldermen of Amster- dam. ABIGAIL MINIS 1711-1807 She provided sorely needed goods for the Continental Army bigail Minis was the matriarch of a dis- t inguished family in the early history of Georgia, and was a Revolutionary A patriot of classical note. Born in Eng- land in 1711, Abigail at age 22, left the security of London to settle in the new colony of Georgia. She came with her husband, Abraham, two daughters, Leah and Esther, and a brother Simeon. Abraham was a man of means and followed mercantile pursuits in the new world. His name is on the first real estate deed recorded in Georgia, and his son Phillip was the first European child born in that colony. Abraham died in 1757 leaving his estate and business to the capable Abigail who increased the inheri- tance manifold during her long and fruitful life of 96 years. In 1779, the American high command decided to recapture Savannah from the British. Gen- eral Lincoln selected Phillip Minis and Levi Sheftal to help the expedition. After the attack was launched, supplies were sorely needed and the commanders applied to Abigail for provisions. A tradition in American-Jewish homes for half a century K CERTIFIED KOSHER Good to the Last Drop* U va trar OM S :. .. The keen old woman knew the Continental Army to be a poor credit risk, but her beloved state and Independence came first. She "deliv- ered the goods" without hesitation. The retak- ing of Savannah was an American failure, leaving Abigail in a very precarious position. The British suspected, her loyalty. But before they acted against her she Managed to leave for Charleston, S.C. .with herive daughters. Her son, Phillip, early in the Revolution, was branded a "vile rebel" and'blacklisted; he could never hold office under any Royal governor.

He later served as President of.Mikvah Israel and as City Warden of Savannah.
