 of all the displaced persons, she continued, "the plight of the old people, alone, without secur- ity, without hope, was the most heartrending.
 "This problem of the Jewish people is no longer theirs. came away with the feeling it Is the problem also of Americans. The plight of the peoples of the world is of deep concern to us because we are now facing @ world in which what we. think and do will be the foundation of that world of the future."
 There is no strength in Europe today except in Russia. They are vital because they are young.
 "So leadership must come from us. We must become interested in the problems and the future of the people throughout the world--if we arc really sincere in our desire to make a better world. We must work that these people, too, may enjoy the maximum of freedom, of justice, and have the opportunity to work out their happiness-the right of every human being. And above all, they must have sense of se- curity, for without that no human being can live happily
 America's Duty
 T hope you will do everything possible in this cause. I hope you will not feel 1t is your cause alone. It Is the cause of all who care aboOt humanity and its future" she said in conclusion.
 Rabbi David Polish, opening the meeting, made a glowing tribute to the memory of the late Frank lin Delano Roosevelt, who passed away suddenly at Warm Springs, Ga, a year ago today. He asked that the gathering observe .no- ment of silence to the great man who offered helping hand to the Negro, the Jew, and the Chris tian, the man who helped suppress the brutaliy of Frascism, the man who gave birth to the United Na- tions."
 Mayor John s. 'Monagan praised Mrs. Roosevelt for her unselfish de- votion to the causes of suffer- ing humanity. "No one can fail to appreciate her tolerance and her Humanitarian. It is not based on national lines or on partisan lines. It is inspired by her sym nathy for humanity"
 Herman Weiesman, who intro duced Mrs. Roosevelt, described her as the first lady Of the world.

Leadership in the building !. of the new world, offering peace, plenty and freedom to the indi- vidual, must come from America, now enjoying the fullest benefits of life and liberty among the war; torn sisterhood of nations, de- clared Mrs. EleanE Roosevelt at the opening yesterday afternoon of the l946 campaign of Waterbury'S Federated Jewish Appeal at The Elton.
 The former first lady, who had viewed hundreds of displaced per- sons in the American zone in Ger many early this year, asserted that these people, war-scarred and lack ing in all material blessing, were enduring new loW in human suf- fering and misery.
 You not only feel the depth of sorrow they have lived through, the dire tragedy they now bear of being separated, perhaps for all time, from those they love, their lack of food and homes, but, Sad- dest of all, is the fact here are human beings berift of human rights and human dignity,% Mrs, Roosevelt said.
 T am not unacquainted with hu- man misery. During the depression years, I travelled throughout the country, and came to know it's many phases. But our people were still human beings with dignity and rights.
 Even in the coal-mining rec gions, the destitute miner, who had not worked for four or five years, would say to me: You tell the President of ours to do something tor us'."
 ''The people I saw in the camps in Europe had no one to appeal to- That not only hurts the dignity of the suffering but the dignity of common humanity" she asserted
 There was nothing you could do, nothing you could say to sooth that terrible hurt, their loss was too great. But you knew that out of all this misery--one thing could be done. That was to give them a helping hand to start all over again."
 Though the inmates were sep- arated from their families, existing on a bare sustenance of two scanty meals a day, and enjoying none of the privileges of the free hu- man being, the former first lady said it was gratifying to note that they still reflected the will to live though most of them had far away look in their eyes.
 She spoke of one little red-head- cd boy who had wandered in off the road late one night with his five-year old brother in hand. He asked if he might sing for Amer ica's former first lady. "It was stirring song" said the speaker And asked what it might be It was the Jewish song of free. dom.
 You rejoice when you find two people of the same family together Usually there is no one. But ire. quently you find an adult who i' caring for an estranced child, ano have come to care for them as one of their own"

History Professor
Tells Experiences

Capt. Fred ]. Ericsson, formerly
professor Of history in Michigan
State Normal College. visited here
after returning from service with
the Flying Tigers in China. After
Officers Training at Foster Field,
Texas. he was assigned to assist
the historian writing the story OF
the Fourteenth Air Force stationed
at Running, China. Flying from
New York to Africa he saw the
Azores and Casablanca. He stopped
long enough in Egypt for q close
glimpse Of the Pyramids, then went
to India. In New Delhi he was in
vited TO the Palace OF the Viceroy
Lord Wavell, the former famous
General Archibald Wavell.
The greatest thrill was going
over the Himalayas. Arriving at
RUNNING, he was attached to the
Air Force under the command OF
General Claire L. Chennault. The
history OF the building OF the Bur
ma Road was one Of Prof. Ericsson s
tasks. When labor was hard to get
young and old were called upon to
help. In one day one million dollars
passed from American hands to
the laborers, Chinese money OF
course, but each person was paid
and then a young Chinaman would
circulate through the crowd ex-
planning to each one Just how much
he received and warning all not to
lend It to anyone. Labor was con-
scripted but paid for. In order to
gather material Prof. Erickson &C
compnaied a convoy which was TAX
ing food and building materials to
the newer air bases. II was rough
and hazardous "trip but extremely
interesting. He INDUCED in shop
ping for his wife whose hobby Is
glass creamers and In India and
China he found many lovely things
especially in Jade. There were sad
times too, the days when he would
come in contact with rescued pris
oners OF war. On his return home
he flew to Tokyo, Hamilton Field
Calf, and home. He is continuing
his writing In Washington and ex
poets TO return TO Ypsilanti IN the
fall.
