Sturtevant.
"Nit - Gedigret, which means
`don't worry,' is a cultural group
whose main purpose is to give
moral and financial support to all
Jewish creative artists," said Mr.
Newman in introducing the all-
Golub evening.
Included in the program were

Dan FrOman, director Of Halevy

contributions= made , by Golub to
Jewish music and his place among
JeWish artists, said
!'Galub's compositions stem
fr6in the ancient Jewish religious
chants aifd are embedded-in the
Jewish folk lore. His songs,
though simple, come from the
heart of the people to such an
extent that most of his admirers
hum - his melodies without being
conscious that Golub composed
them,—the songs seem so much a
part of themselves."
The program was concluded by
Ruth Soifer, popular young so-
prano. Attended by more than
75 people, the evening netted over
$500. This money will be sent
to Golub, who suffered a para-
lytic stroke some time ago.

Refugee Doctor Finds
A Cure for Hay Fever
Nit-Gediget Group
Honors Sol Golub
NEW YORK, ( J T A ) — The
development by Dr. W. S. Loewe,
German Jewish refugee doctor, of
a new drug which provides effec-
tive relief and a possible -cure for
hay fever, was revealed here.
An article in the current Bul-
letin of the New York Academy
of Medicine said that Dr. Loewe,
teaching at the University of
Utah, spent 25 years experiment-
ing and developing anthallan, the
new drug.
Anthallan has been used exper-
imentally for two years, and in
some cases the patients have had
no recurrence of hay fever during
that. period. In general the drug
has been 75 percent effective
among the patients who were
used in experiments conducted
by several doctors from the Van-
derbilt Clinic here.
The drug, which is taken in
six daily pill doses for a period
of three weeks, attacks the cause
of the ailment rather than the
symptom.
