The program will feature "A
mann Institute of Science on
Feb. 19. President Truman hoped
to be present at the testimonial
dinner for Dr. Weizmann. -
The text of the White House
statement reads as follows:
"The President has learned
with deep regret that Dr. Chaim
Weizmann, President of the
State Council of Israel, has
been compelled by illness to
postpone his visit to the United
States until April. The White
House has been informed that
Dr. Weizmann's illness is not
of a serious character and that
he will be able to preside over
the newly-elected Constituent
Assembly. However, his physi-
cians have counseled him
against exposure to a sharp
change in weather conditions
and have strongly urged that
he wait until the Spring."
The White House also made
public the text of a cablegram
sent by President Truman to
President Weizmann, reading:
"Deeply regret to learn of your
illness. We are all praying for
your speedy and complete re-
covery. Looking forward to our
meeting again. Sincerely yours,
Harry S. Truman."
In his cablegram to the Presi-
dent, Dr. Weizmann said: "I re-
gret to inform you that my physi-
cians decline permit me to under-
take a voyage to the United
States before Spring. I should,
accordingly, be grateful if you
could find it possible to agree to
the postponement of the function
to a suitable date in the latter
part of April. I am deeply con-
scious of . your friendship. With
renewed assurances of my esteem.
Sincerely yours, Chaim Weizm-
ann."
The Israeli mission here said
that Eliahu Epstein, Israeli en-
'voy to the United States, had
conveyed his appreciation to
President Truman for adjusting
the date of Dr. Weizmann's pro-
jected visit. The mission said
they understood that Dr. Weiz-
mann was suffering from neural-
" gia and that his physicians had
insisted he should not be exposed
to winter weather. The statement
pointed out, 'however, that
' Dr. Weizmann was able to
vote in the recent Israeli elec-
tions and that he will preside over
the Israeli Constituent Assembly,
which will open February 14.
(In New York, Abraham Fein-
berg, chairman of the arrange-
.' ments committee for the "Sa-
lute to the President of Israel
Dinner," said the dinner would
be postponed until April 23. "We
• are very grateful to the President
for agreeing to come to the din-
ner in honor of Dr. Weizmann on
the new date," he stated.)
(Meyer W. Weisgal, executive
• secretary of the 'Weizmann. Insti-
tute, in whose behalf the Weiz-
mann-Truman dinner will be held
April 23, has left for Israel to
arrange for Dr. Weizmann's trip

the product strictly kosher, under
the supervision of the Union of

of America, with Rabbi Max , J.
Wohlgelernter as the Detroit
supervisor, -
Three of the brothers are for-
mer rabbis, but they had given
up their pulpits when the fourth
— Sandor — arrived here from
Hungary more than a year ago.
Motivated by the famous Psalm
—"Behold, how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to
work together in unity" — they
decided to form this partnership.
Rabbi Eugene Greenfield was
in the rabbinate for 21 years, was
for 12 year in Portsmouth, Va.,
and for five years was Hillel
counselor at William and Mary
College in Williamsburg, Va.
Rabbi Harry A. Greenfield was
rabbi for 15 years and held the
pulpit in the Delray Congregation
in Detroit for 12 years. Rabbi
Ernest Greenfield was rabbi in
Los Angeles for five years.
