He was 57. Szyk waes an active member of the American League for a Free Palestine, the chief front group in the United States for the Irgun. He dropped out of the organization shortly after the State of Israel was proclaim- ed. He applied his talents for the new state in an illuminated scroll of the Israel Declaration of Independence. For many years, his work dealt with Bibli- cal themes, many of them gra- cing the nation's foremost publi- cations. Born in Poland, Szyk came to the United States, explaining he wanted to live here because he regarded this country as "the inner bastion of democracy." One of the most impressive achievements by Szyk was a series of illustrations for the Hagadah, on which he labored four years. It required three years to complete its publication in 1940. Each of the 240 copies of the limited edition sold for $500. Minn.

In precious memory of Esther Gertrude Ruffsky, daughter of Pearl and the late Isaac Ruff- sky, who was called away seven years ago, Sept. 4, 1944 (17 days in Elul On the Record By NATHAN Z I PRI N (Copyright, 1951, Seven Arts Feature Syndicate) A Difficult Art The art of making friends seems to be a difficult one, particu- larly for Jews. Jews have always taken a natural interest in and shown sympathy with the struggle of oppressed nations for inde- pendence. It came, therefore, as a shock to learn that Indonesia had chosen Hjalmar Schact, Hitler's financial wizard, as its ad- visor. No freedom-loving nation should have any use for nazis. Iran is another nation which is making a strong bid for inde- pendence. Yet it has seen fit to close down its consulates in Israel, which had been established only some months earlier. Another case in point is India. That country has recognized the State of Israel-but as yet there has been no exchange of ambassadors. It should be remembered that the number of Jews who took an interest in India's fight for freedom was quite considerable. Orchid Horatio Lafer, Brazilian Minister of Finance, who is at present a visitor to Washington, is Jewish. He has a distinguished career in the Brazilian diplomatic service and represented his country in the League of Nations. He is related to the Klabins, the wealthiest Jewish family in Brazil and generous contributors to Jewish causes. The Klaban family and -Vargas have been friends for many years. One of Vargas' sons served as an apprentice in one of the Klabin factories. The New York Times welcomed Lafer to the United States in an editorial. Theme and Variation ' Professor Louis Finkelstein, president of the Jewish Theologi- cal Seminary, is breaking the lance for Professor Maclver. Accord- ing to my good friend and former classmate, Maclver is a scholar, a gentleman and a great liberal. Exactly a year ago Maclver was awarded the Seminary's honorary title of Doctor of Letters and he is connected with the Institute of Religious and Social Studies sponsored by the Seminary. If the charges that have been lev- elled against Maclver by various writers have any basis, then the Seminary and its president are somewhat on the spot.
