BERKOWITZ ATLANTIC CITY—(3. T. A.)— Dr. Krauskopf's lifelong and distin- guished services for his people "will prove his noblest and most lasting monument," Dr. Henry Berkowitz de- clared in a message to the Jewish Telegraph Agency, paying tribute to his colleague who died at Atlantic City Tuesday. Dr. Berkowitz wires: "Your re- quest for a tribute to Dr. Joseph Krauskopf stirs memories of nearly half a century. In February, 1870, when I entered the pioneer class of rabbinical students at the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, we became comrades and roommates. Through eight years we continued as school- mates. We were ordained together by Dr. Inane M. Wise in July, 1893, be- ing among the first to receive the rab- binical degree in America. Dr. Wise also solemnized the double marriage, which made us brothers-in-law, in Oc- tober of that year. As co-workers in the Jewish ministry and in public life during the past 30 years in Philadel- phia our careers have been closely blended. We have shared so inti- mately in each other's morrows and joys, struggles and achievements that I am unable to consider objectively the tremendous tasks his fertile mind conceived and his dauntless courage and boundless energy achieved. The services he rendered his people as head of one of our greatest congre- gations, as founder of the National Farm school, and as their representa- tive and spokesman in important civic and national movements will prove hie noblest and lasting monu- ment."

NEW YORK—(J. T. A.)-11. C. Richrards, president New York State Bnak, handed Mayor Diesengoff of Tel-Aviv a check for $150,328.97 in payment of the 532,000 of the Tel- Aviv bond issue. This purchase by the State Bank completes the disposal of the 575,000 municipal bond issue. The hank in acquiring the bonds does not intend to make any profit on them, it is said, but is planning to resell them without premiums to in- dividual buyers. Mayor DiesengofT only recently ar- rived in America in connection with the arrangements for the sale of the issue and the rapid disposal of them has been a surprise to all. Judge Bernard A. Rosenblatt, of the Palestine Securities Company, which floated the bonds for Tel-Aviv, issued a statement expressing gratifi- cation over the complete success of the first bond issue in Jewish history. In a statement to the Jewish Tele. graph Agency Mr. Richard of the State Bank said: "1 am satisfied that the bonds not only offer a good in- vestment with a fair profit, but that at the same time it presents an op- portunity to do something for a very worthwhile cause. We took over the bonds with the distinct understanding that the bank was not to make one cent of profit from their disposal." Ukrainian Federation io Send Clothing and Food Pack- ages to Russia.
