(Jewish Daily Bulletin)
The Detroit Service Group, which conducted the United Jewish Campaign here, at a meeting yesterday afternoon at the Phoenix Club, at which Dr. Chaim Weizmann, President of the World Zionist Organization, was the guest of honor, voted unanimously to aid in the campaign for $150,000 towards the national quota of $7,500,000 of the United Palestine Appeal.
The action of the Detroit leaders came following Dr. Weizmann’s address and after a discussion during which Dr. Weizmann responded to questions from the floor.
Among those attending who joined in voting to enlist all Jewish forces in Detroit for Palestine were David A. Brown, national chairman of the United Jewish Campaign; Fred M. Butzel, Henry Wineman, president of the United Jewish Charities; Sam Summerfield, president of the Service Group, and rabbis and presidents of leading Orthodox and Reform synagogues.
