Morgenthau said only three
of the Jews who had come to
the United States had turned
out to be undesirable. FDR
said he had been told the fig-
ure was considerably larger.
Under the War Refugee
Board, which was headed by
John H. Pehle of the Treas-
ury Department, there was a
change for the better. Hull
notified his embassies and le-
gations that they should
facilitate visas for Jews. In
early March 1944, there ar-
rived in Istanbul a group of
Jewish children from Bul-
garia. It was the first tangible
savings of lives that could be
attributed to Morgenthau's
efforts. The board was also
instrumental in getting Jews
out of France and Rumania
that spring.
Roosevelt was coming
around to admitting some
Jewish refugees outside the
quota. Morgenthau recorded
on May 16 the president's
feeling that "if there was a
specific situation involving a
small group of people ... say
between 500 and 1,000, that
needed help, he would be
willing to bring them in and
send a mes s age to Congress
saying what he had done."
Such is the Ted Morgan con-
tribution toward establishing
and retaining the truth about
the great American failure to
rescue victims of Nazism and
FDR's sharing of the guilt. It is
told by Morgan in FDR, one of
the most impressive books of the
century and certain to be rated
among the most important, best
written biographies on record.

In this era of diminishing
Jewish numbers, due to fewer
births and loss of many who
enter into mixed marriages,
there has arisen a call for con-
verts. Something previously dis-
couraged has gained support.
Now, in many quarters, espe-
cially the Reform Jewish, there
is an outcry for more converts.
The convinced who are repor-
tedly growing in numbers need
inspiration. In this community
this was provided under the
leadership of Rabbi Max Weine,
and the contributions he thus
made to Jewry must not be
overlooked, as tribute is paid to
his memory.
Converts to the Jewish faith
received their inspiration as
they were introduced to Jewish
codes and ethics under the guid-
ance of Rabbi Weine. It was ac-
complished under strict adher-
ence of Jewish precepts.
Many of the new Jews have
become a blessing to the com-
munity they have become iden-
tified with — thanks to Rabbi
Weine and his associates in the
tasks of preparing the converts
for their adopted faith.
There was a background that
led Max Weine to the spiritual
leadership for which he was
trained in the Conservative
Jewish Theological Seminary.
Rabbi Max Weine
From the very first year as a
teenager he began to rise in the
ranks of the Detroit Young
Judaea movement. He became a
convincing debater on issues in-
volving Jewish needs and
Zionism. With it came his love
for Hebrew, his devoted study of
Jewish history and traditions.
He became the star student and
soon the graduate of the United
Hebrew Schools. His admiration
for his teachers, especially the
late Bernard Isaacs, led to his
enrolling in the seminary and
attaining the title Rabbi, later
acquiring Doctorates at the sem-
inary and Columbia University.
At the Seminary, Max Weine
revered his teacher, Morris Kap-
lan. On the eve of Prof. Kaplan's
100th brithday he visited with
him in Jerusalem and wrote a
glowing tribute to him. L\
In his leadership of the task
force guiding converts to
Judaism, Rabbi Weine had the
fullest cooperation of all, Or-
thodox and Reform as well as
Conservative. It was evident in
all his relationships, in which
he gained respect and admira-
tion.
and
He loved books
encouraged reading and book
buying. In this respect he was a
dedicated associate in all such
efforts with his wife, Mae, who
has gained national leadership
in the ranks of the Jewish Li-
brary Association.
Such was the interesting
career — from Young Judaean
to Spiritul Guide of the New
Jews — of the admired De-
troiter, Max Weine.
Dingell: Filling
His Father's Shoes
Michigan Congressman John
D. Dingell Jr. has established
such an enviable reputation as
one of the most fearless mem-
bers of the U. S. House of
Representatives that it is no
wonder he aspires to be the
Speaker of the House in its next
term. His re-election being -as-
sumed as a certainty, and his
candidacy for the high office
most compelling, there is strong
belief also that the Speakership
is attainable by the most voc-
iferous of the Michigan Con-
gressmen.
Vociferous is not a demeaning
term for him. He speaks out on
vital matters and is unhesitant
