Yeshiva University Te'stschrift' Honors
Dr.Alhert Einstein on 75th Birthday
PRINCETON, N. J.—Prof. Al-
bert Einstein celebrated his 75th
birthday Sunday, as world lead-
ers in science, education, gov-
ernment and the arts joined in
tribute to him on the occasion.
Prime Minister Moshe Shar-
ett of Israel, Dr. Nahum Gold-
mann of the Jewish Agency, and
10 Nobel prize winners were
among 60 distinguished scien-
tists, educators and statesmen
who contributed to a birthday
Festschrift (testimonial volume)
in honor of the world famous
scientist.
Messages from former Presi-
dent Ha r r y S. Truman; Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt; Lester B.
Pearson, Secretary of State for
External Affairs for the Domin-
ion of Canada; and Luigi Ein-
audi, President of Italy, are
among those in the volume.
The volume was presented to
Prof. Einstein at a quiet cere-
mony at his home by a dele-
gation representing the Al-
bert Einstein College of Medi-
cine of Yeshiva University.
The Festschrift was sponsor-
ed by the College which was
named for Prof. Einstein on
his last birthday.
Deeply moved by the many
birthday messages he received
from all parts of the world, Prof.
Einstein expressed his gratitude
that Yeshiva University was
honoring him by establishing its
new College of Medicine in his
name.
The delegation presenting Prof.
Einstein with the Festschrift in-
cluded Dr. Samuel Belkin, presi-
dent of Yeshiva University; New
York State • Attorney General
Nathaniel L. Goldstein, national
chairman of the Albert Einstein
College of Medicine campaign;
Dr. Marcus D. Kogel, Dean of
the medical college; Max J.
Etra, chairman of the hoard of
trustees of Yeshiva University;
Max Stern, vice-chairman of
the board; and Michael M. Nis-
selson, director of development
of the university.
William L. Laurence, Science
Correspondent of the New York
Times, headed the committee
responsible for the preparation
of the Festschrift.
The delegation also presented
Prof. Einstein with an architec-
tural model of the Albert Ein-
stein College of Medicine. The
College, now under construction
in New York City, will open in
September 1955.

Wins Einstein Award,
Charge of 'Pink' Against
ADL Film Collapses in N. J.
RED BANK, N. J.—An attempt
to brand an Anti-Defamation
League film as "pink" collapsed
here.
The past commander of •a lo-
cal Catholic War Veterans post
withdrew his protests directed
at "The High Wall," a prize-
winning film on intergroup ten-
sions and prejudice, and apolo-
gized to the community for his
"erroneous" information after
the League castigated his charge
as "hysteria and know-nothing-
Lon beyond belief."
The state department of edu-
cation and religious and civic
groups also rushed to the de-
fense of the popular 30-minute
film.
. The retraction followed a
meeting of CWV county leaders
with officers of the local post.
The CWV official, Leslie C. Mc-
Bride, admitted that he had
passed judgment without hav-
ing seen the film. At first he re-
fused to name the "source" of
his information but later ac-
knowledged that he had ac-
cepted the "pink" evaluation
from a group known as the Anti-
Communist League of New Jer-
sey.
In New York, Benjamin R. Ep-
stein, ADL national director, de-
scribed the Anti-Communist
League of New Jersey as "a vigi-
lante group bent on harassing
New Jersey schools by hunting
for alleged Communists in the
school systems."

refugees from Germany, if un-
able to afford a private attorney,
may sue for restitution of their
property with the aid of a court-
appointed lawyer, even though
they since have acquired another
nationality.
The ruling was handed down
taro their identity as Jews and
to live openly as Jews without by the Superior Court in nearby
timidity on the one hand, or Gelle in a restitution suit in
which it was considered manda-
truculence on the other.
Turning to the AJC's• position tory for the plaintiff to be re-
on Israel, Mr. Engel declared presented by a German attorney.
that since the United Nations
partition resolution in 1947, the
AJC has given wholehearted
support to Israel's efforts to es-
tablish the new State as a bul-
wark of democracy in the Mid-
dle East. He emphasized that
the annual meeting of the AJC
had reaffirmed the organiza-
tion's 1949 statement of views
on Israel.
The AJC president pointed out
that many Israeli officials, in-
cluding former Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion had warmly
praised AJC assistance to Israel.
He added that this policy of
helping Israel "within the
framework of American inter-
ests" would remain unchanged.
"Of course," Mr. Engel cau-
tioned, "we have always and will
continue to reserve the right to
differ with the State of Israel
on any question. In general,
however, we do not believe in
taking sides on matters of pure-
ly internal nature in Israel. Only
where Israel's policies affect
American Jews do we think it
right to make our views known."
Touching upon domestic is-
sues, Mr. Engel said that anti-
Semitism was not the only form
of prejudice or concern to the
AJC. He declared that at the
present time overt anti-Semitism
is no longer the problem it once
was. He warned, however, that
open attack against Jews has
been succeeded by more insidi-
ous and oblique methods of
arousing bigotry.
Ex-Nazi Named UN observer for Germany
BONN, (JTA)—Despite objec-
tions from many quarters to
the United Nations, the West
German government this week-
end announced the appointment
of Dr. Peter Pfeiffer as its ob-
server-representative at the UN.
Dr. Pfeiffer was a former Nazi
Party member.
Foreign Office sources con-
firmed that Dr. Pfeiffer had
served as a diplomat under
Hitler and that he had been a
'member of the Nazi party. They
added, however, that he had
been denazified and that a Par-
tliamentary committee found no
objections to his employment in
I the foreign service.
(In New York, the Jewish La-
bor Committee telegraphed Sec-
retary of State John Foster
Dulles and asked him to inter-
vene to get the German govern-
ment to alter its decision to send.
•Dr. Pfeiffer to the UN.)
