continued and ample supply of

On the Record

From Many Corners
The merger of the Hebrew University and the Weizmann In-
stitute of Science is limited, at least for the present, only to joint
fund raising and cooperation on the scientific level . . . The press
was not invited to the session at which the disclosure was made
at the insistence of Professor Einstein . . . On the day the story
broke President Truman announced approval of the hydrogen
bomb ... Einstein was reluctant to face newspapermen lest he be
questioned by reporters on his attitude toward the new instrument
of death -. • .The American Friends of the Hebrew University will
continue functioning . . . But it will not raise funds.
Look for an early announcement disclosing the merger of the
Palestine Economic Corporation with the London body of the
same name . .. Jewish financial circles here were quite pleased
with the news that Israel was embarking on a strong policy aimed
at attracting private -investors from abroad . . . However, some
deplored the fact that they had not been consulted on the
promulgation of the new regulations. .
Sixty eight Jews are running for Parliament in the forthcom-
.
ing British elections . . . Most of them, 38, are on the slate of
the Labor Party, 10 on the Liberal Party ticket, nine are Com-
munists, five on the Conservative ticket and six on various smaller
parties.
It Could Have Happened
A story is going the rounds that Mayor O'Dwyer of New York
always carries with him a yarmulke ... The reason is quite simple
. . He so frequently is called to attend Jewish functions bf all
kinds that he can't risk embarrassment . . . Recently, the story
goes, the Mayor was invited to attend a function at a Reform
synagogue . . . Before entering the edifice O'Dwyer slipped on his
yarmulke ...Realizing he was the only person not bareheaded in
the synagogue, the Mayor humorously asked "am I the sole Jew
among so many goyim?" . . . The rabbi smiled and told the
Mayor this was a Reform synagogue . . . Gesticulating with his
hands, like a fighter throwing in the sponge, the Mayor replied:
"I have a goy head and don't understand all that, all I know. is
one must put on a skullcap on entering a synagogue."
One generally associates an opera director with harmony .. .
But by engaging Kirsten Flagstad the manager of the Metropoli-
tan Opera, Joseph Bing, has struck a discordant note whose de-
tection requires no musical ear ... Why in the world he recalled
a woman who was denounced by fellow Norwegians when she left
the U. S. for Norway immediately upon Hitler's penetration into
her native country is a question only Bing can answer- • . . True
she is a great interpreter of Wagner, but an artist who sang for
the Nazis and the Quislings of her country has no place on the
stage of the Met . . . Her husband, member of the Quisling Party
in Norway eras to have been placed on trial by the Norwegian
Government . .. His death in 1945 prevented a public hearing.
In 1947 Kirsten Flagstad returned to this country but she
received a cold reception . . . No artist can claim immunity by
reason of art . . . Even the greatest of artists doesn't live in a
vacuum.
Jewish Communists to Purge Zionism
In Cominform States; Sabotage Israel
TEL AVIV (JTA)—A series of
resolutions. aimed at intensify-
ing the fight against Zionism
was adopted at a conference of
Jewish - Communist leaders from
East European countries held
early in January in Marienbad,
Czechoslovakia, it was learned
here.
The five-day conference was
attended by experts on Jewish
affairs from Moscow, headed by
Professor V. B. Lutzky, notor-
ious for his attacks on Zionism
and Israel in the Soviet press
and at public lectures in the
USSR. The resolutions adopted
urged the waging of a "bitter
war to the end" against Zion-
ism in all Cominform countries.
As a result of this confer-
ence, special broadcasts will be
launched in Yiddish from Buda-
pest and Bucharest radio sta-
tions appealing to Jews in Hun-
gary and Romania "to boycott
Zionist agents and oppose their
propaganda for emigration to
Israel." The Communist Party
of Israel was promised at the
conference "better support" on
the condition that it purge its

'The conference suggested that
the activities of the Communist
party in Israel be devoted pri-
marily to the spreading of prop-
aganda among the Arabs in the
Jewish•state and to the estab-
lishment of contact with the
underground Communist groups
in Lebanon and Syria. The
Communists in Israel have also
been urged by the conference to
intensify their subversive activi-
ties, including demonstrations,
parades and strikes.
