Dr. Ernst Bergmann, personal representative of Dr. Chaim Weimann, distinguished scientist, chief chemist of the Daniel Sieff Research Institute of Rehovoth, Palestine, will address a meeting of patrons and friends of the Institute next Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred A. Ginsburg. This gathering will commence this year's drive for Detroit's quota for the Sieff Institute. Dr. Bergmann comes here at the invitation of Abraham Cooper member of the national board of directors and chairman of the Detroit chapter; Fred M. Butzel and Nate S. Shapero, members of the Institute's national advisory board, to give a first hand ac- count of the famous research institute's achievements during the past 10 years, the part it is playing in helping win the war and in assuring a better future for the Jewish National Home. Otustanding Chemist At 40, Dr. Bergmann is one of the outstanding men in the field of chemistry. Lecturer at Uni- versity of Berlin and co-author of a widely-used textbook on or- ganic chemistry, he was about to be made full professor when Hit- ler's edict drove him from Ger- many in 1933. Protege and friend of the late Prof. Richard Willstaetter, Jewish Nobel prize winner and renowned scientist of Munich University, Dr. Bergmann came to London, bearing letters of introduction to Dr. Weizmann, and the meeting marked the beginning of a close association which has lasted until this day. After several months of -re- search in a London laboratory, Dr. Bergmann went to Palestine late in 1933, as Dr. Weizmann's representative, to supervise • the building and organization of the Daniel Sieff Research Institute— a project which had enlisted the interest of Dr. Weizmann and of which he is honorary director. Tdday he heads the staff of 31 scientists and their assistants at the Institute. He is also guest lecturer at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Industrial Development For a number of years presi dent of the Palestine. Chemical Society, Dr. Bergmann's work has contributed immeasurably to industrial development in the Middle East. Upon outbreak of the war, Dr. Bergman returned to London at the request of Dr. Weizmann to continue several projects in industrial research initiated at the Rehovoth labora- tories. Last year he came to the U. S. to assist Dr. Weizmann in scientific activities the latter has under way in this country. Dr. Bergmann's recent lecture before a distinguished audience at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, on "Trends in Modern Chemotherapy"—the treatment of tuberculosis, leprosy and cancer —was an event in scientific cir- cles. His address here next Wed- nesday on "Scientific Research and the Future of Palestine" will be Dr. Bergmann's last public ap- pearance before his return to England. He expects to leave for London the following • week.
