At a conference held Monday
evening, at the Farband Schule,

mittee for Habonim was strength-
ened to include three represent-
atives from each of the 'Pioneer
Women's clubs, the Farband
branches the Poale Zion groups
and the League for Labor Pales-
tine.
The committee devotes itself
to aiding Habonim locally
throughout the winter and as-
sists them in conducting the re-
gional camp Kvutzah Kinneret,
at Chelsea, Mich., during the
summer.
I. Drachler, committee chair-
man, submitted a report on its
activities from the time of its
inception. Bernard Schreier, Ha-
bonim treasurer, gave a sum-
mary of the 1944 camp , season,
and Esty Carson, Rosh_ Macha-
neh, head of Detroit Habonim,
outlined the activities and told
of the progress which has been
made by the Machaneh. M. Gins-
burg, treasurer of the Youth
Committee, reported on the fi-
nancial status of Camp Kinneret
and the income and expendi-
tures of the committee.
An executive committee com-
posed of representatives of the
various senior labor Zionist
groups and three members from
Habonim was selected. Plans
were made for the current year's
work . of the committee and for
the coming camp season.
NEW YORK — The Weizmann
Instittite of Science, of which an
architect's conception appears
above, for which plans were an-
nounced recently as a tribute' to
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, statesman-
scientist and president of the
Jewish Agency for Palestine, on
the occasion of his 70th birthday,
this week entered the phase of
implementation. The American
Committee sponsoring the pro-
gram completed its plans for the
establishment and endowment of
the institute.
Dorothy • Thompson, famous
columnist, was the principal
speaker at a dinner tendered by
S. N. Behrman, American Jewish
playwright, at the Waldorf As-
toria, in behalf of the American
Committee for the Chaim Weiz-
mann Scientific Institute.
Key Figures Attend
The gathering was attended by
key figures from various parts of
the country and was instrumen-
tal in making available $150,000
toward the $3,000,000 goal.
The American Committee, of
which Edmund I. Kaufmann is
president, and Samuel Zemurray,
of New Orleans, La., President
of the United Fruit Co., is chair-
man of the board, completed its
plans for the erection at Reho-
voth, Palestine, of the buildings
which will house the four princi-
pal departments of the 'Weiz-
mann Institute of Science.
Blueprint for Institute
Above is the blueprint for the
institute which was prepared by
Eric Mendelsohn, architect who
designed the Hebrew University-
Hadassah Hospital Buildings on
Mount Scopus, Jerusalem.
Describing Dr. Weizmann as
the "Scientist-Statesman" ,y,Tho is
more representative of this
Twentieth Century than any
other statesman or political lead-
er of our age, Miss Thompson
said. "I see no reason why you
should not ask for and receive
the participation of the non-Jew-
ish world to which Chaim Weiz-
mann has made tremendous con-
tributions. Dr. Weizmann was
not given to Jews exclusively, he
also belongs to the world as a
whole."

Turner also is alleged to have
said on one occasion, according
to one of the heads of the Star-
Times CIO union, a non-Jew:
"You knout, I think that Jews

intermarry after the war—to give
the niggers some sense and to
teach the Jews some humility."
