Seminary Receives
Two Valuable Gifts

NEW YORK, N. Y. — Dr.
Louis Finkelstein, Chancellor of
the Jewish Theological Seminary
of America, announces two re-
cent gifts received by the Semi-
nary Library which are of sig-
nificant importance to the field
of American. Jewish history.
Benjamin Lazrus of Manhat-
tan, president of Benrus Watch
Company, presented the Library
with a bound set of "Hatzofe be-
Eretz ha-Hadasha," the first all-
Hebrew newspaper published in
the United States.
The second volume, gift of
Henry Schechter of Brooklyn,_
a nephew of Dr. Solomon
Schechter, Seminary - president
from 1902 until 1915, is a litur-
gical volume for fast days, "Se-
der Arba Ta'aniyyot," printed in
Hebrew in Amsterdam in 1658.
This book bears evidence of
having been used by a Jew in
Barbados in 1659. Later it was
brought to America and became
the property of Samuel Nephtal
of New York in 1721. In 1738,
his widow, Mrs. Rachael Neph-
tal, gave the book to her grand-
son, Judah Pinto, a member of
a Jewish family which figured
prominently in the American
Revolution.
The newspaper, "Hatzofe be-
Ereti ha-Hadasha," began pub-
lication on July 11, 1871. An 8-
page paper, it sold_ for 10c a
copy.

NEWS FROM ISRAEL

Uri Avnery, the colorful and
adventurous editor-in-chief of
Israel's Hebrew Weekly, Ha-
Olam Hazeh, and its English
counterpart, Frontpage, has cre-
ated a furor in Israel over his
series of articles on the Haifa
municipality and its Mayor Abba
Khoushi . . . Following the at-
tempted bombing of the Ha-Olam
Hazeh offices in the- heart of
Tel Aviv, editor Avnery came
out with this editorial: "These
are troubled times for everybody.
Frontpage-Ha-Olam Hazeh has
been prepared for trouble from
the moment its- editorial board
decided to declare war on the
Haifa regime of terror, the morn-
ing after the cynical cancellation
of the Machraz list in the Haifi
Workers' Council elections . . .
True, we didn't expect such
underhanded methods to be used
against us. But in the fight for
justice, one must be prepared for
anything . . Our offices are
getting to look like combat head-
quarters. Fortunately, our staff'
members are accustomed to the
feeling of tension, lack of secur-
ity, come-what-may atmosphere
that are characteristic of a real
battle."
An Israel invention providing
the possibility of exploiting the
sun's heat for industrial and irri-
gation purposes was announced
by M. Tabor, director of the Na-
tional Physical Laboratory of
the Scientific Council.
The Lebanese parliament has
passed a law of economic boy-
cott against Israel, under which
every citizen of Lebanon who
trades with Israel is subject to
the maximum penalty of death.

pressing have found a consider-
able measure of acceptance, and
secondly, that people in Israel
are not so easily scared about
the continuation of Jewish exist-
ence, about which so many of
little faith- in the Diaspora are
fearful. They believe in the ex-
istence of Israel, and they are
sure that ShOlem Asch, God
forbid, will not destroy it . .
There are many broad-minded
Jews there, even among those
who think that Sholem Asch's
ideas are in advance of our time,
who, taking- into consideration
the serious situation of the Jew-
ish people, nevertheless think
they are worthwhile and who
see that there exists a desire
and a longing to bring about an
understanding between Jews and
Christians in the sense of my
thinking. So I decided to settle
among them." . . . Nahum Gold-
mann, London friends of the
Jewish leader say, is interested
in putting into operation a pet
project: the publication in Amer-
ica of a national Jewish-English-
weekly to be sponsored by the
Jewish Agency and serviced by
JTA writers.

Danny Kaye says he saw a fp
foreign car that was obviously
made for export. The name on
the radiator had an English sub-
title.

Hampton Says He Plans
To Have Tel Aviv Home

SHOLEM ASCH'S ARTICLES

CHICAGO (JTA) — Lionel
Hampton, who recently concluded
a "standing 1:0,0121 only" tour of
Israel and donated the $240,000
he received for that tour to the
builditig of a hospital in Jaffa by
the Mogen David Adorn, said
here that he expects soon to
have a home in Tel Aviv and
to return to Israel every year-
to play benefits for the hospital.
In an interview with the Sentinel
here he said that he hopes to
go to Israel next year with Benny
Goodman.
The famed Negro jazzman said
that he had seen no discrimina-
tion against him in the Jewish
State. He also told the inter-
viewer that he had met twice
with Chief Rabbi Isaac Halevi
Herzog and that he opened every
Israeli concert with a special
Hebrew prayer written for him
by the Chief Rabbi.
Hampton, alluding again to the
lack of prejudice against colored
people in Israel, added that he
attributed a great deal of the
accomplishments of American Ne-
groes to the assistance of Jews.
Lauding Israel's democracy, he
emphasized the need for con-
tinued financial assistance, saying
"We ought to send more help—
more, man, more."

Sholem Asch has written a
series of articles for the Jewish
Chronicle of London in which
he explains "the feeling that
took me to Israel." In his first
article, Mr. Asch concludes thus:
"I thank God that in spite of
the hostility of some. people and
of some papers, I found under-
standing, tolerance, and respect,
and, I can boldly say, also love.
Not among all, but among the
great majority of the people of
Israel, especially among the
workers, the intellectuals, and
also among the leading person-
alities in the Government. It was
proved by the scores of enthusi-
astic receptions that were held
for me all over the country .. .
It was helped by two factors,"
Sholem Asch adds, "first, that
