SOCIETY'
Pierrot
Continued from Page 2
Pierrot creation, the "World
Adventure Series," is a regret-
table result of changing
times. It is a real loss for our
community of loyal
Detroiters.
The Pierrot story and his
contributing World Adven-
ture Series are much more
than an exciting Detroit saga.
His association with Morris
and Myron Steinberg addi-
tionally recalls the Pierrot-
Steinberg creative labors ad-
vancing this community's
printing and publishing
industries.
There is also the encourage-
ment given to chess and
checkers competitons, some
with the encouragement of
the famous philanthropist
Julius Rosenwald.
There was much more, as
revealed in this letter to
Myron Steinberg dated May
18, 1977:
It's nice to hear from you.
Your letter revived old
times. Morris and I were
very close friends, indeed,
as you know. My anti-Nazi
campaign, which I really
did start quite a long time
ahead of others who didn't
realize its menace quite so
soon, was quite an exciting
affair. I guess you know
that I received many
threats, all anonymous.
They promised physical
harm to me, damage to my
auditorium, etc. I had the
strong support of Albert
Kahn in particular during
this period.
Several years later I had
a battle with police
because police censors
wanted to keep me from
showing Russia in motion
pictures. You remember
that Julien Bryan's early
specialty was Russia. I
agreed with Julie that you
didn't have to be a com-
munist in order to watch a
picture of Russia. Russia's
enormous resources we
both felt indicated
Americans should know as
much about Russia as
possible and not delude
itself.
Albert Kahn was on my
side in that scrap also. And
it was my good friend the
late Fred Gartner, manag-
ing editor of the Detroit
News, that helped me
establish once and for all
that I didn't have to show
any films to police censors
here in Detroit, and get
their permission before I
could show them in our
auditorium.
Helen and I leave for
Europe May 17. Back
about June 15. After that
we'd love to get together
with you and Phil and An-
na.I met Phil when I first
came to Detroit in 1922,
even before I met Morris.
This was through a jour-
nalistic society called the
"Society of the Occident
and the Orient?'
This is important as a
recollection of George Pierrot
as an early Christian Zionist,
as a staunch anti-Nazi, as a
militant liberal who foresaw
the prejudices that had arisen
in the early years of fears over
Communism and courage-
ously advised against falling
into the trap of unjustified
and unwise political panick-
ing. In the same spirit he
always battled against
racism.
The Pierrot ideals were im-
bedded in the World Adven-
ture Series. Therefore the
deep regret that it is no
more. ❑

Housing Loans
Are Approved
Washington (JTA) — The
House of Representatives
has approved $400 million in
investment guarantees to
provide housing loans for
newly arrived Soviet
emigres in Israel.
The $400 million was con-
tained in a $2.4 billion sup-
plemental appropriations
bill for this fiscal year,
which began Oct. 1. Presi-
dent Bush requested the bill,
which also includes
emergency aid for
Nicaragua and Panama.
The bill, which was ap-
proved 362-59, also contains
$35 million to help Jewish
groups bring Soviet Jews to
the United States or resettle
them in Israel.
The $35 million is part of a
larger $75 million figure the
House approved mainly to
meet a shortfall in the U.S.
worldwide refugee budget
for this fiscal year.
Of the $35 million, $30
million would go to the
American Jewish Joint
Distribution Committee and
the Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society. Those groups assist
Soviet Jews seeking entry to
the United States.
Also as part of the bill, the
House approved $5 million
for the United Israel Appeal,
which distributes funds
raised by the United Jewish
Appeal. Those funds were
needed not because of under-
funding of the U.S. refugee
program but out of recogni-
tion that larger numbers of
Soviet Jews are going to
Israel.
