Kissinger on Campaign Trail for We Republicans'; Sees Need for Vigilance After Camp David Former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger is on the campaign trail assisting in the election of Republicans to the U.S. Congress. In De- troit last week he urged the re-election of Congressman William Broomfield and Senator Robert Griffin, cal- ling them vital to a strong foreign policy for the U.S. He said that, as Secretary of State he could call on these two Republican lead- ers, Rep. Broomfield as the ranking Republican member of the House of Representatives Interna- Jewish community statistics . DIVORCE 45% INTERMARRIAGE 40% DRUGS 55% CULTS 15% ILLEGITIMACY 25% WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT Community Leaders? A Community Leader Replies: We are proud to say that the Detroit Met- ropolitan Jewish_community_is very. activain. the field of education. The future of our young people is one of our vital concerns, and our communal organizations are making great ef- forts to reduce the well-known problems you cite. Some examples: $827,500. has this year been allocated for support of our afternoon- school system. Years ago our day-schools received only $39,000; today this amount has been increased to $182,880, a full 1.7% of our total budget, and in the years ahead further increases are very possible. We have estab- lished a large number and variety of the most modern facilities for our youth at the Jewish Community Center. We have a magnificent summer camp system for children of all ages. In view of all our efforts you may ask why the problems persist. The answer is that the trou- bles within the Jewish community are only a reflection of the same general problems which exist on a national scale. The afflictions of illegitimacy, drug involvement, divorce, etc. are rife within the non-Jewish community as well, and we simply do not have the ultimate answer to these problems. Parents? Some excerpts from parents' replies: "... I gave my son the best Jewish education possible; sent him to Hebrew-school at great expense. Today? Nothing! He just doesn't want to know anything about Judaism. . ." ". . my wife and I did not have the bene- fits of a college education, but we spared no expense to send our girls to University of Michigan. Yes, they intermarried — but I just don't know what more we could have done. . ." '... You talk about the ancient Jewish ideal of education. Well, I don't think I can be faulted on that; one of my kids attended Roeper and another went to Detroit Country Day. You simply cannot find finer schools than these." ". . . my husband insisted on a grand affair for the boy's Bar Mitzvah. He sang his Maftir beautifully and everyone in the synagogue congratulated us. I've given up trying to figure out where we went wrong with him. It really does not seem fair sometimes; I have a good Jewish heart and so does my husband, but. . ." ". . Summer camp? Oh sure! We sent both kids to a Jewish-oriented camp for the whole season; it was even kosher-style cooking. My older boy now has kids of his own, but when I recently mentioned a Jewish camp for them ... my son just laughed and told me I was 'out of it' . ." 5 Phone: 546-7031 PARENTS UNITED FOR A JEWISH RENAISSANCE "Accept The Truth From Who Ever Tells It" tional Affairs Committee and Griffin as a former Se- nate minority whip, for support and "advice." Kissinger spoke for Broomfield at .the Raleigh House at noon last Thurs- day, addressing more than 800 at a $50-a-plate lunch- eon. In the evening he spoke in Griffin's behalf at the Standard Club to 200 who contributed a minimum of $500 each. In both instances Kis- singer spoke of "We Re- publicans," and thereby revived his rumored as- piration to be a candidate for the U.S. Senate in New York in 1980. Of the Camp David pro- ceedings, Kissinger ex- pressed optimism of an early positive approach. He expressed the view that some problems will be solved, but admonished that others will arise in the exp- losive Middle East and ad- ' vised caution, at the same time asserting the belief in a needed "vigilance" to face up to the issues. He punned, as usual, He began his speech at the Broomfield rally by express- ing satisfaction that his audience had sat down after giving him a standing ova- tion because "to keep look- ing up becomes difficult." He also told a favorite joke. He commented that President Carter "makes his own decisions." He had a freer hand with President Ford who permitted him always to use the White House swimming pool, until the President became con- cerned that he, Kissinger, might get a notion to walk on the water. While Kissinger viewed American strength as .superseding that of the USSR, he warned of the Spread of Russian interfer- ence in the affairs of many lands. He especially ex- pressed concern over the participation of 500,000 Cubans in activities that menace the security of gov- ernments in African coun- tries. Rep. Broomfield also commented hopefully on the Camp David summit and expressed satisfaction with the presence in the gather- ing arranged for him of a number of Detroit rabbis. Prior to the Broomfield luncheon, Irwin Cohn, in- troduced to Kissinger, presented himself by say- ing, "I am a Lubavitcher," to which Kissinger replied, "I ad- dressed one of their meet- ings in New York last week." Max M. Fisher presided at the Griffin dinner meet- ing at the Standard Club. He said more than $100,000 was raised for the Griffin campaign that night. Griffin has often been charged with being reluc- tant to go all out in support for Israel but has always re-asserted a positive atti- tude and has a good voting record on the subject, except that he voted for the jet sale to Saudi Arabia in May.
