Charges Against Vets Dropped

L

Southfield police are
dropping "impeding traffic"
charges against a member
of the Jewish War Veterans
and a member of the Vete-
rans of Foreign Wars.
JWV State Commander
Norman Berkley said the
police will try to get permis-
sion from Southfield shop-
ping centers and major
office buildings to allow
veterans' groups to sell fun-
draising poppies at those
sites, as an alternative to
sales at major traffic inter-
sections.
Berkley told The Jewish
News, "They are going to
prove to us that they can
open every office building. I
don't believe it. We have not
been allowed into North-
land, Prudential, Travelers

Tower and other buildings."
Representatives of
JWF, VFW and the Amer-
ican Legion were in-
formed last Thursday at a
meeting with Southfield
Director of Public Safety
Jerry Tobin and Police
Chief Edward Ritenour
that charges against Sol
Levin of the JWV and Jim
Smith of the VFW would-
be dropped. The two
were ticketed May 20
while selling poppies at
the intersection of 10 Mile
and Southfield roads.
The tickets were the first
issued by Southfield police
following a two-year cam-
paign by Chief Ritenour to
end the street sales because
of the danger to the vete-
rans and motorists.

Berkley said that the vet-
erans' groups would meet
again with the police in
September to discuss the
situation. But, he stressed,
"we have not signed any let-
ter of intent agreeing not to
sell poppies in the street."
The poppy sales fund vet-
erans' programs at VA hos-
pitals and scholarships for
dependents.
Tobin told The Jewish
News that the police will
ask the judge to suspend
the tickets. He said the
department has already
received a letter from
American Motors, agree-
ing to allow veterans
groups to sell poppies at
the entrance of the
American Center on
Franklin Road.
"This is like fighting
motherhood and apple pie,"
Tobin said. "Nobody wants
to hurt the veterans' organ-
izations, but wouldn't it be
tragic for a veteran to sur-
vive a war, only to be killed
in traffic selling poppies?"
Tobin said that he hoped
good advance publicity of
off-street sales would help
the veterans' groups, add-
ing that the public should
appreciate the change and
be more receptive to off-
street sales.

Other Motive?

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — The
newspaper
Maariv
editorialized that Israel's
four-month-old doctors'
strike is endangering the
Histadrut sick fund (Kupat
Holim). Maariv suggested
that weakening Kupat
Holim might be one reason
the government has drag-
ged out negotiations.
