PEOPLE YOU KNOW ...
Raymond Must and Gordon
Grossman are in Alaska. It
started out to be just a sight-
seeing trip to get rid of the
staleness of college life. But,
the boys liked the country so
much that they stayed on and
are now employed by the U.S.
government in Fairbanks.
Bye, bye to Helen Alpert, the
energetic BBYO girl's director
who's leaving her post here for
a similar one in Boston. I think
Helen likes this transfer because
the miles between ber N.Y.
home and Boston office will be
fewer.

stein's, "Three Cheers for Rod-
ney" came in second which was
good for 10 bucks.

MAN WHO is undoubtedly
Big corporations also came to
very much disappointed at him for legal advice. But his

the way the Palestine Mandate
worked out, left Washington re-
cently after 15 years in the serv-
ice of the U. S. government. That
man is Benjamin V. Cohen, re-
cently counsel to the State De-
partment and a legal counsel
alumnus of several other branch-
es of the American government.
From 1919 Ben Cohen served
as counsel for the American Zion-
ists in the negotiation of the
terms of the Palestine Mandate
at the post World War I peace
conference.
Cohen can hardly be held re-
sponsible in any degree, however
for the way the Mandate worked
out. One of the best legal brains
in this country, he has written

many a piece of foolproof legis-
lation which is now the law of

the land.
If the privilege had been his
to actually draft the terms of the
Mandate, the situation might
have developed somewhat differ-
ently, but we can hardly con-
ceive of Britain, ravoring counsel
for the American Zionists to write
the terms under which she was to
govern the Holy Land.

LAW SCHOOL' GENIUS
BEN COHEN was born in Mun-
cie, Ind. in 1894. He attended the
University of Chicago and got
his Ph. B. in 1914. After a year
of postgraduate work he left the
University of Chicago law school
with the highest marks ever re-
corded there up to that time.
He went on to do another year
of postgraduate work at Harvard
where Felix Frankfurter took an
interest in him. It was this in-
terest that eventually led Cohen
to Washington.
After the United States entered
World War I, Ben•Cohen served
as attorney to the U.S. shipping
board, having been kept out of
the army by weak eyes.
Later while serving abroad on
the Palestine Mandate assignment
he met John Maynard Keyes,
through whom he became inter-
ested in fighting depression by
the promotion of public works.
This had an important hearing
on his later work for the New
Deal.

practice did not end here. Hav-
ing definite humanitarian views
and ideas Ben Cohen served as
unpaid counsel for the National
Consumers League.
In 1933 Cohen was sent to
Washington by Felix Frankfurter
along with James Landis to help

LAWYER'S LAWYER
UPON HIS RETURN to New
York, Cohen went into law prac-
tice on his own. But his was no
ordinary practice. So highly were
his capabilities regarded at that
time that he became a lawyer's
lawyer, handling the toughest
problems which other lawyers
couldn't solve.
