Franklin, rabbi of Temple Beth El; Rabbi Leon Fram, Dr. Franklin’s associate rabbi; Henry Wineman, chairman of the board of the Jewish Welfare Federation; Kurt Peiser, executive director of the Federation; Rabbi Joshua S. Sperka of Congregation B’nai David; James I. Ellmann, president of the Zionist Organization of Detroit; Rabbi Isaac Stollman, vice-president of the Jewish National Fund Council of Detroit, and Dr. Bernard Heller, director of the Hillel Foundation at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
