DUSSELDORF, (JTA) — A
statue designated as a memorial
to Heinrich Heine, the world re-
nowned German poet whose
works were barred as "Jewish"
by the Nazi, has been unveiled
here more than 65 years after
the City Council originally de-
cided to honor its most famous
native son.
In 1888, shortly after the res-
olution was adopted, Kaiser
Wilhelm II voiced objections to
honoring the anti-nationalist
poet, and since then plans for
erecting the monument have
run into objections from Ger-
man nationalists. This time, a
group of private citizens pur-
chased a statue of a female
figure entitled "Harmony," exe-
cuted by the French sculptor
Aristide Mantel, and presented
it to the city as a Heine memor-
ial.
Although there appears to be
that the very innocuousess of
Dusseldorf was conspic i o u s 1 y
absent from the unveiling cere-
mony.
(Empress Elizabeth of Aus-
tria had a statue erected in her
garden at Corfu to the memory
of the poet. Later, it was offered
to the city of Dusseldorf which
rejected it. The statue now
stands in New York City at
Mott Avenue and 161st Street.

NEW YORK, (JTA)—The He-
brew Union College-Jewish In-
stitute of Religion, seminary of

gree, which the College-Institute
