in this country and was credited
with developing important out-
lets for American textiles in such
highly competitive markets as
the Balkans, Turkey and India.
He was chairman of the toler-
ance committee of the Te
Export Association.
Recently Mr. Lamport had
been active as adviser to the
Office on Price Administration
on textile affairs and had urged
adoption of a plan of his devis-
ing for the disposal of the na-
tion's huge cotton surplus. The
Lamport plan called for weaving
the cotton into goods to be sub-
sidized in the export market as

an advertisement for democracy
and for building a new demand
for cotton goods.
Mr. Lamport leaves a widow,
Mrs. Miriam Dworsky Lamport,
and two daughters, the Misses
Sarah Marcia and Vivien Felicia
Lamport. He also is survived by
a brother, Joseph H. Lamport,

SAMSON

In 1924 Brown University and
the College of the City of New
York selected him as their dele-
gate to the dedication of the He-
• brew University at Palestine.
During the World War, Mr.
Lamport personally bought 1,-
000,000 worth of Liberty Loan
bonds and sold $19,000,000
worth. He was chairman of the
East Side Liberty Loan cam-
paign in this city.
At the same time Mr. Lam-
port served as censor of foreign
newspapers under George Creel
of the Office of Public Informa-
tion at Washington.
From his youth, Mr. Lamport
was greatly interested in philan-
thropies.
His latest charity was the gift
of 20 pianos to the United States
Army for use in cantonments,
hostess houses, and recreation
centers. He made the gift
through the Jewish War Veter-
ans of the United States, of
which he was an honorary mem-
ber.
Mr. Lamport was one of the
first to attack Hitler before he
became Chancellor in 1933. Re-
turning from a visit to Russia,
where he had gone to discuss
trade relations between that
country and the United States,
he characterized the rise of
Hitlerism as "blatant bragga-
docio" and warned Jews of ex-
cesses if the Nazis gained pow-
er.
