TRAVEL UNLIMITED, INC. 29129 GREENFIELD SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN 48076 48 FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1987 424-8118 Anonymous Cabbie Aided Jews In Riot ALAN HITSKY Associate Editor T he 1967 riots in Det- roit have brought back sad memories for many in the community, but a recollection of heroism for others. Former Jewish Community Center executive Irwin Shaw recalled this week the month- long heroism of a black Detroit cab driver who took food parcels to isolated Jewish families in the 12th Street- Dexter area. The cabbie, whose name does not appear in Jewish communal records, was hired on a daily basis to bring two black youngsters to the Meyers-Curtis JCC for a Hebrew ulpan. One of the youngsters was Claude Young, a cousin of Detroit Mayor Coleman Young. When the riots broke out, Jewish Family Service began searching for someone to deliver food to Jewish families in the riot area. JFS was located in the JCC at the time, and the cabbie volunteered. "He took food into the area for more than a month," recalled JFS executive Samuel Lerner. "It took that long before the area was felt to be safe" and grocery stores and other services in the riot neighborhoods were restored. "The city went in with arm- ed men guarding the cleanup crews, but many people were afraid and many stores had been destroyed." Shaw remembers that the cab driver insisted on hiring an assistant to guard his cab while he was delivering the packages. The assistant was paid for the four-to-six week effort, but the cabbie refused payment. Twenty-five to 35 in- dividuals received food packages during that time, Lerner said. JFS also loaned two supervisors, Margaret Weiner and Ruth Getz, to the Interfaith Emergency Food Council which was establish- ed immediately after the riots. The council distributed food and clothing, and established Project Find to reunite families. Project Find worked on 1,700 cases during its first two weeks. Weiner is now director of professional services at JFS. Getz is retired and lives in Windsor. The riots led to the establishment of a housing relocation project by JFS which continues today. Twenty-five persons who were afraid to continue living in their neighborhoods were moved to the Eight Mile- Lahser and Evergreen areas with their rents subsidized by the Jewish community. Many Jews, however, chose to stay in their neighborhoods, Lerner said, having built up a support network among their neighbors. ■■■■ •11 NEWS Moshav Debt Plan Approved Jerusalem (JTA) — The Knesset Finance Committee approved a rehabilitation plan for moshavim July 23, ending a long dispute bet- ween Labor and Likud over measures to ease their finan- cial difficulties. The plan, prepared by a special subcommittee, would, cancel part of the moshavim's debts to banks and the Jewish Agency. The repayment of other loans would be spread over a four-year period. They amount to 852 million shekels and would be repaid at 6.7 percent interest. The banks and the Jewish Agency will write off the balance of the debts, amoun- ting to 24 million Shekels. Three Likud members of the committee, including former Finance Minister Yoram Aridor, voted against the pro- posal. Aridor said it would not solve the problem. Brain Drain For Israel Tel Aviv (JTA) — The brain drain from Israel is reaching serious proportions. According to a survey by the Association for the Study of Emigration, 224 of the country's senior scientists, all of them holding doctorates and specializing in the hard sciences, left Israel during the past year. Most of them went to the U.S. and the remainder to Western. Europe. Five prominent scien- tists of the Weizmarm Institute departed in May. They said they were going abroad because of the lack of proper working conditions. According to data provided by the Ministry of Immigration. and Absorption, 32,000 univer- sity graduates from Israel are presently working in the U.S. They include 8,000 engineers.
