On the Record

By NATHAN ZIPRIN

From Many Corners

LONDON (JTA)—The larg-
est bequest ever made to the
Jewish National Fund any-
where in the world was dis-
closed by its offices here. The
bequest, representing the bulk
of the estate of the late Isi-
dor Michaelson, and totaling
more than 100,000 pounds
($280,000), was originally left
to his widow, who died last
year.
Michaelson made a fortune
as a pioneer in Rhodesia in
the last century and retired
to Wales in 1904, where he
died in 1931, at that time
owning large mining and oth-
er properties. For a number of
years before his death, he
made substantial donations to
Zionist organizations. .

A new Jewish refugee organization is about to be formed .. .
Its sponsors will announce details at a press conference in New
York . . . It remains to be seen what arguments can be mus-
tered in justification of the project.
The presence of Dr. M. Eliash in London as Israel Minister is
a big boost to the vegetarians of that city .. . Dr. Eliash isn't a
vegetarian but observes "kashruth" and has special -non-meat
courses served at all the diplomatic functions he attends . . .
When the international dinner ball of the United Nations Asso-
ciation was held at the Dorchester Hotel recently, one of the Lon-
don papers published an item that Dr. Eliash and his party were
to be served special salads instead of the regular menu .. . The
result, according to Dorchester's manager, was that '15 other re-
quests for vegetarian food were received in advance of the dinner.
The delegates to the recent UJA conference at Atlantic City
were a busy lot .. . But busy though they were they found enough
time to admire Ruth Gruber's charm and Dr. Jacob Zerubavel's
flowing beard . . . Zerubavel was the only one to address the con-
ference in Yiddish. The disappearance of Yiddish from the plat-
forms of national organizations is being deeply resented in Yid-
dish circles.

About People

Irving Berlin has added to the benefactions of the "God Bless
America" fund by assigning to it all royalties from the songs
"Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor" and "Miss Liberty" .. . Herbert
Bayard Swope, Mrs. T. Roosevelt, Jr., and Gene Tunney are the
trustees of the fund, which has functioned for nine years with-
out a dollar of expense . . The foundation was set up nine years
ago by Mr._ Berlin. who wished the royalties from i ` G od Bless
America" used for the public good . . . The fund has distributed
about $150.000, much of it going to the Boy and Girl scouts be-
cause they are wholly non-religious and non-racial in their
activities.
When Reuven Rubin was appointed by Israel as ambassador
to Romania many were wondering why an artist was chosen for a
diplomat's task . . . What wasn't generally known was that Rubin
owned all the qualities of statesmanship . . He had also been a
classmate of Ana Pauker and Tel Aviv's authorities believed -that
factor might serve to make his task somewhat lighatr . . . He was
doomed to disappointment . . . Ana Pauker brushed him off rudely
on many occasions . . . Rubin loves America and for many years
has been a frequent visitor . . . And for good reason . . . On one
of his trips he baited the greatest artistic prize of his life . . . We
mean his wife, whom he wooed fervently and sUccessfully after
she had won the Queen Esther contest sponsored at that time by
the Jewish National Workers Alliance.
Joseph Leftwich, distinguished English, Jewish author and
journalist, is now visiting this country . . He hasn't enough
words for the hospitality shown him by American Jews . . . At a
dinner tendered. in his honor by the Jewish Information Bureau,
headed by Bernard G. Richards, Leftwich gave a revealing pic-
ture of British Jewry and the delicate situation it was facing
when Britain was relinquishing its Palestine mandate . . . That
the crisis was weathered without serious consequences • was a
trubute to the wisdom cf British Jewry and to Britain's devotion
to basic democratic ideas . .. Leftwich was at one time head of
the London office of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.

English-Speaking Jews,
Small Investors, Plan
Farming Settlement

NEW YORK—A new agricul-
tural settlement, stressing pri-
vate enterprise and designed
especially for English-speaking
Jews with a small amount of
capital to invest, will shortly be
set up in Israel, it was an-
nounced by Aliyah Department
of the Jewish Agency.
No previous training in agri-
culture will be required for
joining the settlement, an Agen-
cy spokesman declared. Instruc-
tors to give on-the-spot train-
ing will be provided for the first
year.
The site chosen is on Jewish
National Fund land near Gede-
ra, about 45 minutes by road
from Tel Aviv. The first houses
will be ready for occupancy next
spring or early summer.
Each family unit will cost
about $8,500, $3,500 of which will
be advanced by the Jewish
Agency's Colonization Depart-
ment in Jerusalem as a long
term loan. The rest must be pro-
vided by the settler.

N Sholom Aleichem's The Old Country appears the original
version of the meeting between a poor old man from a Rus-
sian ghetto and Baron Rothschild in Paris. The Baron's butler,
seeing the old man's tattered
Villa BOUGHT
raiment, doesn't want to let
YOU THAT .`c
him in, but is brushed aside
WHISKEY?
with a scornful "Fool! If I .
had good clothes, would I
have bothered coming to
Paris?"
Then the Baron is intrigued
by the promise of eternal life.

)

The price of the secret is three
hundred rubles, The old man
pockets his gold—the most he
ever has seen — and tells the
Baron, "It's simple enough. Just
move to our ghetto. No rich
man ever has died there in our
history."
Sholom Aleichem is credited, too, with that solid piece of advice to
a lovesick Lothario: "Remember, my boy, you can marry more money
iri five minutes than you can make in a lifetime."

WHERE TO DINE

Supper-Concert Held
For Israel Institutions

NEW YORK, (JTA) — Twelve
hundred persons, paying $99
each, attended the third an-
nual concert and supper of the
• American Fund for Israel Insti-
tutions at Astor Hotel. The
Fund, which maintains 99 cul-
tural, educational and other
projects in Israel, has been
• seeking to raise $2,318,000 in
1949 in the United States.
Edward A. Norman, president
and founder of the fund, re-
ported that the 99 institutions
receiving support from the fund
have been federated into a sin-
gle campaign in this country,
avoiding the conduct of separate
and independent drives. Dr.
Abraham Katznelson, member of
the Israel delegation to the UN,
acclaimed the American Fund
"not only because it supplies
money, but also because it tries
to understand and interpret Is-
rael to the United States."
Participants in the concert in-
eluded Marian Anderson, Isaac
Stern and the New York Phil-
harmonica Symphony Orchestra
under the direction of. Dmitri
Mitropoulos. Among the 99 in
stitutions supported by the fund
are the Habimah Theater, Israel
Philharmonic Orcheqtra, Israel
Opera Company and three art
museums.
