The lec- ture was sponsored by the Detroit United Bla'ck Trade Unionist Chapter of APRI and the Detroit branch of LZA. • Rustin emphasized that presently American society is no longer interested in the special problems of eth- nic groups, since parts of the entire population, re- gardless of ethnicity, are suffering from, unemploy- ment and other social ills. Rustin stressed that only a coalition of ethnic and eco- nomic groups can successfully persuade gov- ernment to pass legislation establishing goals such as full employment and a high- er minimum wage. Shapiro, in his remarks, echoed Rustin's call for a program of full employ- ment backed by a nation- wide coalition of ethnic groups.

In a related development, Hilkiyahu Habra.' a 17-year- old Israeli yeshiva student from Bnei Brak, is this year's International Jewish Youth Bible Quiz champion. He scored the maximum possible points-74—at the Independence Day contest displaying a phenome- nal memory of biblical verses and stories. Habra, a Yemenite, is one of a fam- ily of 15 children. Second was David Glatt, only one point behind. This 15-year-old New York rabbi's son studies at the Yeshiva- University' High School. Third, with 71 points, was Zvi Hirsch, 16, of Belgium. The independence celebra- tion in Israel was not with- out tragedy. At least eight persons, including three children, drowned last week and four were missing after an excursion boat carrying about 50 passengers cap- sized in Haifa Bay. About 35 people were res- cued by fishing boats and Is- raeli Navy craft or man- aged to swim ashore. The tragedy, which mar- red Independence Day cele- brations, was the worst ci- vilian boat accident in Is- rael's history. One of the dead was iden- tified as Jacob Katz, young- est brother of Detroiter Ir- ving Katz, who is executive secretary of Temple Beth El. The owner and operator of the launch was re- manded for 15 days on suspicion of criminal negli- gence. The boat was de- signed to carry 20 passen- gers and two operators, and was carrying more than 30 persons over the legal limit at the time of the accident.
