said that modern Judaism could

Top Zionists in Talks
Over '52 Elections and
New Presidium Plan

NEW YORK, (AJP)—Talk of a
national praesidium to steer the
Zionist Organization of America
safely through the choppy un-
charted seas of the post-Israel
era was being discussed inform-
ally in top circles here as the
1952 presidential campaign nar-
rowed down to three serious
candidates.
The praesidium plan is report-
edly favored by chieftains of
Progressive forces, a strong
minority within the organiza-
tion's ranks.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann's forces
still face a final choice of their
candidate for the top post. In
the running are Mortimer May,
Southern strongman of ZOA,
and Rabbi Irving Miller. •
Former American Jewish Con-
gress president, Rabbi Miller, was
hailed by some high ZOA region-
al leaders as a hard fighter and
an especially. good candidate in
the event the '52 bid by the Neu-
mann faction for command of
the ZOA faced a heated battle
at convention time late in the
Spring or early Summer.
A single candidate, National
Administrative Council Chair-
man, Abraham A. Redelheim,
presents the only serious threat
to a Neumann victory at this
early date.
A nationally-syndicated col-
umnist, Danton Walker, took the
big step in a mid-week column
and predicted Redelheim's elec-
tion as president of the ZOA in
1952,

Protest Against Nazi
Doctor's Presence in U.S.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Gov-
ernment circles are giving at-
tention to a letter from a group
of Boston physicians to Presi-
dent Truman asking him to
order the "immediate expulsion"
from this country of Dr. Walter
P. Schreiber, chief medical of-
ficer of the Nazi army in World
War II, who is currently as-
signed to the U.S. Air Force
School of Aviation Medicine in
Texas.
The physicians' letter included
a digest of testimony given at
the Nuremberg War C r i in e s
Trials implicating Dr. Schreiber
in the "medical experiments"
carried out by Nazi doctors and
scientists on concentration camp
prisoners at Dachau, Buchen-
