he spent in the service. They
didn't even draft him; he
enlisted. So he was a hell of a
guy, he was a beautiful
man."
The statistics Flusty quoted
from memory, as well as the
fact that at age 30 Greenberg
enlisted in the military, are
accurate.
Greenberg led the Tigers to
four pennants and two World
Series championships. He
was twice voted Most Valu-
able Player in the American
League. In 1938, he chased
Babe Ruth's 11-year-old re-
cord of 60 home runs in a
season, falling two shy at 58.
"Everybody was rooting for
him," to break the record,
said Shulman. "I remember
even in our classes at school,
they stopped the. classes and
just listened to the ballgame
(on radio) and everyone was
hoping that he'd break the
record."
"If they'd have pitched to
him instead of walking him, I

think he'd have beat that
home run (record)," said
Goldberg. "But they wouldn't
pitch to him ... at least in
my opinion. I could be wrong.
But he never let that bother
him."
Goldberg, a volunteer lib-
rarian at the West Bloomfield
JCC, is another who saw
Greenberg away from the
playing field, at the Jewish
Center on Woodward. "He
was a real nice guy, real
down-to-earth fella. Full of
fun and like it said in the
paper (last week), at the end
of each season he'd give a
party for the groundskeepers
down there," at Navin Field.
"I was hoping to make
some kind of a memorial
meeting for him, I don't know
how to go about it, but I sure
would make something for
him. He's something De-
troit'll never see again . .
the Detroit Jews will neveI
see again."

PLO•Brazil Pact Hit

Sao Paulo (JTA) — Brazilian
Jewry has reacted with shock
and indignation at a crudely
anti-Zionist joint statement
issued by the PLO and the
Methodist University of Pira-
cicaba, the World Jewish Con-
gress reported here last week.
The PLO and the universi-
ty are united in the struggle
"against Zionism and for na-
tional and social liberation
which the Brazilian and Pal-
estinian peoples are engaged
in," according to a statement
signed by the university rec-
tor, Elias Boaventura, and the
PLO representative, Farid
Sawan.
The university has some
8,000 students and 300
teachers. The agreement

signed with the PLO is head-
ed "Cultural Cooperation and
Interchange" and starts with
a joint statement asserting
that the university and the
PLO are "engaged in the
democratic, anti-imperialist
and anti-Zionist struggle."
The document speaks of
"exchange of information,
educational, scientific,
technological and cultural ex-
periences," and foresees extra-
university activities with the
participation of workers
movements, in the country as
well as in town, and in the
struggle in which the Brazil-
ian and Palestinian people are
involved in favor of indepen-
dent economic developments
and social progress."
