Judge Samuel Rosenman
Appointed as Legal
Aide to President
WASHINGTON. ( W N S) —
President Roosevelt announced at
his press conference last week
that he had named Samuel Ros-
enman, Justice of the Supreme
Court of the State of New York,
as his legal aide and adviser on
Js draft and court-martial matters.
The presid9nt explained that
•
he was being confronted with an
increasing volume of quasi-legal
matters incident to the war and
needed assistance in disposing of
them.
Justice Rosenman, one of the
President's closest advisers since
1928, has for the past 10 years
been dividing his time between
New York .and Washington where
he drafted legislation and execu-
tive orders, helped in the prepa-
ration of the President's most
important addresses and edited
important state papers. He has
been one of the President's earli-
est "brain trusters" and figured
as one of the most important
Presidential advisers on problems
of inflation, manpower and pro-
duction. For the past year he
has been one of the group known
to Washington as the "Little War
Cabinet".
Mr. Rosenman, 47 years old,
was born in San Antonio, Tex.
His father, one of the early Jew-
ish immigrants, came to the
United States from Russia in
1894. After living jn New York
for several years he moved to
San Antonio where his son, Sam-
uel, was born.
Driven by a desire to live in
a more Jewish community, he re-
turned to NON York in 1902.
Judge Rosenman is a graduate
of Columbia University and Co-
lumbia Law School. During the
first world war he enlisted in the
armed forces where he rose in
rank from a private to lieutenant.
During the years 1922-26 he was
a member of the New York State
Assembly, and during the years
1929-32 he was counsel to Mr.
Roosevelt who was then the Gov-
ernor of the State of New York.
Judge .Rosenman has been an
active le:ider in Jewish affairs
for many years. He is now presi-
dent of the Jewish Education
Society and trustee of the Amer-
. ican Jewish Committee and the
Jewish Federation of Charities.
Jewish Agency Denies
Disagreement in U. S.
On Future of Palestine
LONDON. ( WNS) —The Lon-
don Times last week carried a
letter of protest by J. Linton,
political secretary of the Jewish
Agency for Palestine, against a
dispatch by its Washington con-
,• respondent to the effect that
'7 there was "no complete agree-
ment" among American Jewry as
regards the future of Palestine.
The dispatch to which the let-
ter referred stated :
"As regards long-range policy,
there is no complete agreement
in American Jewry itself (as to a
future policy for Palestine)—the
• American Council for Judaism
opposes the creation of a Jewish
state, and the American Jewish
Conference, which recently nut
in New York, was in favor of it."
Mr. Linton wrote that while the
conference consisted of 500 dele-
gates, representing 600 Jewish
communities and 66 different na-
tion-wide Jewish organizations,
"the so-called American Council
for Judaism, founded some
months ago by it small group of
reform rabbis and a number of
laymen, is not supported by any
representative Jewish organiza-
tion."
He declared that to mention
the two organizations in the salte
breath was like quoting "a small
'peace-at-any-price' body in this
..‹.4 country as evidence of lack of
unity about the war."
Simultaneously, the London
Times last week carried an article
by its Cairo correspondent warn-
ing that "an outbreak of serious
Arab-Jewish disorders in Pales-
tine is not impossible".
Pointing out that Jews and
Arabs in Palestine "are well
armed, mainly with weapons stol-
en and purchased from troops sta-
tioned in Palestine," the corre-
spondent asserted that "the Arabs
as a whole are prepared to stand
by the White Paper, but the
Jews, influenced by extreme Zion-
ists, are not satisfied and are
clamoring, among other things,
for unrestricted Jewish immigra -
tion".
