To Preside at

Astronomy Student at 65

Alfred Dworkin Attends
Classes at Wayne University

Hold 4th Annual Ceremony
Retired Automobile Accessory Dealer Takes Such Varied
Honoring New Citizens
Courses as Astronomy and Anthropology; Is a
Sunday Evening
Student of the Talmud

Alfred Dworkin, who retired from the automobile ac-
cessory business in 1937, will be 65 years old next Thursday.
But that does not prevent him from becoming a "schoolboy"
again and from making such varied subjects as astronomy,
anthropology, biology, sociology and physical science his hob-
bies. Furthermore; next year he plans to study geology.

Mr. Dworkin is proud of his
new activities, to which he has
devoted himself with great devo-
tion especially since the death of
his wife on Jan. 26, 1942. He is a .
member of the Detroit Astronom-
ical Society and his associates are
college professors who have ta-
ken a liking to his astronomical
interests and his frequent refer-
ences to the Talmud—which he
studied as a youth—and to wis-
dom from Hebrew lore.

Studied Chemistry
Five years ago, Mr. Dworkin
studied chemistry at Northwes-
tern High School. Later he en-
rolled at Wayne. He explains that
love of learning is a tradition
in his family, and age is never
an obstacle in attending classes.

Born in Bussia, he went to Ar-
gentina in 1903 and lived there
and in other South American
countries until 1910. In that year
he went to Newark, N. J., and in
1912 came here.
In Argentina
he was graduated from public
and high school, had a year in
the university and mastered the
Spanish language. He also quali-
fied to practice law in Spanish
courts.

Quotes Hebrew
He loves to quote Hebrew and
to speak of the subjects he is
now studying, but the issue in
which he is particularly interested
now is the need for technical
training among Jewish youth.
He pleads with every one in re-
sponsible position to strive for the
establishment of a Jewish trade
school which should give techni-
cal training to Jewish boys.

Assephat Hanivcharim Adopts Manifesto Citing Readiness
of Jewish Community to Provide Haven for
Rescued Nazi Victims

JERUSALEM (Palcor) — A manifesto reiterating the
readiness of the Palestine Jewish community to provide
refuge for all Jews who can be rescued from Nazi-occupied
lands was adopted at the conclusion of the 'third special
assembly of the Assephat Hanivcharim, Jewish Represen-
tative Assembly.

The declaration condemned the
Bermuda conference as "a bit-
ter mockery toward a nation
weltering in blood" and urged
haste in rescuing the Jews. It
pleaded for the opening of the
gates of Palestine and Of neutral
countries to the refugees and the
exchange of german internees for
Jews.
A separate resolution adopted
by. the Assembly endorsed the
decision of the central institu-
tions to devote a part of the War
Needs Fund to the assistance, de-
fense and rescue of European
Jewry.

Assembly Keynotes
Palestine Jewry's profound
disappointment at the outcome of
the Bermuda conference, aug-
mented by the incessant reports
of the obliteration of European
Jewry and the desperate resist-
ance of the hopeless Jewries of
the ghettos of Poland, were the
keynotes of the Assembly.

ures.

Dr. Nahum Goldmann.
Isaac ben Zvi, Chairman of the
Vaad Leumi, addressing the open-
ing session of the Assembly, em-
phasized the disappointment of

conference. He hailed the cour-
ageous stand of the Jews in the
Warsaw ghetto, and sent the Yi-
shuv's assurances of all possible

tion.

Preceding the adoption of the
