Corporation Formed
To Aid Restitution

limited liability corporation, de-
signed to aid in the utilization
of Jewish restitution and indem-
nification funds now being re-

through the interest and ef-
forts of the Jewish Agency and

tee, which have for some time
recognized the special need in
Germany for a reliable institu-
tion which can assist public and
private Jewish restitution and
indemnification beneficiari e s ,
with advice in matters concern-
ing the utilization of their
blocked funds.
The Corporation will operate

Anglo-Palestine
Bank Soon to Be
Israel Corporation

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—With com-
pletion of arrangements for the
conversion of the Anglo-Pales-
tine Bank from a British to an
Israel corporation known as the
Israel National Bank a circular
was issued by the board of di-
rectors of the bank to share-
holders proposing that present
shares of Anglo-Palestine Bank
issue be replaced by shares is-
sued by the Israel National
Bank. This would be done, the
circular pointed out, after the
corporation is legally registered
in Israel as a banking institu-
tion.
Ninety _percent of the share-
holders—most of whom are Brit-
ish citizens—have agreed to
change their shares and the
Anglo-Palestine Bank will go in-
to liquidation, transferring all
assets to the new Israel National
Bank.
The circular proposes that
three shares of the new com-
pany be distributed for every
two of the old turned in and
provides for the sale of two
shares of stock at a ,nominal
price for pur€hasers of seven
shares of new stock.
The old bank's assets amount
to 1,200,000 pounds; the new in-
stitution will be capitalized at
3,000.000 pounds.
}folders of shares in the Jew-
ish Colonial Trust, Zionist fore-
runner of the Anglo-Palestine
Bank, who control a majority of
the voting stock in it, have
agreed to exchange their shares
for stock in the new company.
It is expected that most of the
holders of "A" stock, with no
voting rights, will follow suit.

Jewish Paratroop
Doctor Saves GIs

NEW YORK (AJP)—A 30-
year-old Yonkers physician, be-
lieved to be the only Jewish doc-
tor paratrooper in the United
States Army, was credited this

CAPT. ROBERT BERNSTEIN

week with helping save the lives
of 21 survivors of the infamous
tunnel massacre in which nearly
80 captive American soldiers
were murdered by retreating
Korean Communist forces near
Suchon. The massacre was de-
scribed by eye-witnesses as more
gruesome than the Nazi exter-
mination camps of World War
II.
The physician, Capt. Robert
Bernstein, administered imme-
diate medical aid to 21. GI sur-
vivors with the assistance of two
Korean nurses.
At his home in Yonkers, Mor-
ris Bernstein, father of the he -
roic medic, told the American
Jewish Press how his son, sta-
tioned at the Walter Reed Hos-
pital after serving more than a
year overseas in Japan, fought
to return to his distant post
and participate in the United
Nations fight against aggression
in Korea.
Before the close of summer,
Captain Bernstein was back in
Japan and en route to the Ko-
rean warfront. His father told
of receiving a most recent letter
last week in which the Captain
told of atrocities committed by
the retreating Red armies.
Captain Bernstein was cred-
ited with being the first doctor
to reach the Suchon massacre
survivors after being summoned
by Gen: Frank A. Allen of Cleve-
land, who discovered the wound-
ed. The American prisoners
were mowed down by Commun-
ist machine gun fire after being
evacuated from a train on the
pretense of being given food.

THIRD ANNIVERSARY

Sidney J. Allen Elected
Franklin Hills President

Sidney J. Allen was elected
president of Franklin Hills
Country Club.
At the meeting on Oct. 28,
Leonard N. Simons was chosen
vice-president; Herman Marks,
secretary,
and Benjamin E.
Jaffe, treasurer.

Northwest section and the J. L.
Hudson Co. will feature displays
of Jewish books during the en-
tire month of November. The
displays were arranged by the
culture commission for the con-
venience and interest of Jewish
and general public.

"The return of the 'People of
the Book' to the book is a neces-
sary prerequisite to American
Jewry's coming to maturity,"
said Rabbi Morris Adler in a
statement proclaiming Jewish
Book Month in Detroit from
Nov. 3 to Dec. 3.
Book Month is sponsored na-
tionally by the Jewish Book
Council and locally by the cul-
ture commission of the Jewish
Community Council, of which
Rabbi Adler is chairman. "Jew-
ish Book Month is a clarion call
for us all to read and enjoy
books on Jewish themes
throughout the year," he stated.
Through the program service
of the Council, organizations
may obtain speakers to discuss
books pertinent to Jewish sub-
jects. Many such reviews have
already been arranged. Printed
material for discussion of liter-
ature on Jewish topics may also
be secured at the Council office.
A selected book list, made by
the Council, which should be
part of the library in every Jew-
ish home, is available. The list
includes books on such varied
themes as history, literature,
customs and ceremonies of the
Jewish people.
