Distinguished leaders, repre-
senting the City and the State,
all faiths and the Jewish com-
munity, joined on Wednesday
evening, in honoring Dr. Leon
Fram, Rabbi of Temple Israel,
on his 60th birthday, at a dinner
at Holiday Manor.
Sponsored by the Michigan
Council of the American Jewish
Congress, of which he is presi-
dent, Rabbi Fram was presented
with a Scroll, signed by all Con-
gress chapter officers, in recog-
nition of his services to all
democratic causes and to Zion-
ism. Mrs. Allan Weston, who
made the presentation in behalf
of Congress, also announced that
the Congress Women's Division
is dedicating a plaque in Dr.
Fram's honor in Congress House
in New York.
Rabbi Morton Berman, of
Chicago, in the principal ad-
dress of the evening, evaluated
his colleague's services to all
causes in defense of justice.
He recalled Rabbi Fram's dis-
cipleship of the late Dr. Ste-
phen S. Wise and commended
Dr. Fram for his pioneering
efforts in behalf of Jewish ed-
ucation and his work which,
he said, had influenced educa-
tional programs among Con-
servative and Orthodox as
well as Reform Jews.
He commended Rabbi Fram's
zealous work in fields of human
rights and acclaimed him as a
leader in plans for social action
programs.
Outlining the major planks in
the Jewish Congress program,
Rabbi Berman said that on top
of the agenda is the fight for
Israel's survival. He deplored
the attempt by the Western
democracies to match the harsh-
ness of the Russian-Syrian anti-
Israel resolution before the UN
Security Council.
He also spoke of the Congress'
interest in securing a just revi-
sion of the McCarran-Walter
Act. Stating that President
Eisenhower's proposal "does not
face the issue," he said that a
review of the unjust immigra-
tion act must take into consider-
ation the unfairness of the
'racial origins clauses. He also
outlined Congress' interest in
Federal aid to education, ad-
herence to the idea of the sepa-
ration of church and state and
adoption of the right kind of
security.
Leon Kay presided at the
dinner and addresses were de-
livered by Judge George Ed-
wards, who represented Gover-
nor Williams; Louis Schostak,
president of Temple Israel; Dr.
Merrill Lenox, executive direc-
tor of the Council of Churches;
William Cohen, who represented
the Jewish Community Council;
Rev. Robert Frehse, executive
director of the Detroit Round
Table; Dr. Harvey M. Merker,.
of the Library Commission.
The opening and closing pray-
ers were given by singing "Hap-
py Birthday."
Messages of greetings were
read by Frank Rosenbaum from
national Congress leaders, Gov-
ernor Williams, Walter Reuther,
Senator Potter, Rev. Steiner,
U. S. Solicitor General Simon
Sobeloff, Mrs. William Burk,
president of the Congress Wom-
,en's Division, who was absent
due to illness, and a score of
other community leaders.
In his reply, Rabbi Fram said
he was encouraged by the tri-
butes to carry on in the spirit of
Prophetic idealism. He said that
he had made an investment in
idealism and service and was
now reaping the dividends from
such investments. He said he
was "just beginning, at 60, to
work and to serve democratic
causes and Israel's sacred causes.
He expressed joy in having been
able to serve City, State and Na-
tion, Jewish Congress, Zionism,
Israel and Liberal Judaism.
He invited the gathering to
attend the Temple Israel service
in honor of his 60th birthday, on
Friday, Feb. 10.

Unborn Child's Sex
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A
method for determining the
sex • of unborn children has
been developed by three doc-
tors working at the Weiz-
mann Institute of Science
and the Hadassah Hospital in
Jerusalem, it was revealed
in a report to both institu-
tions.
The method depends upon
the examination of the type
of cells present in the am-
niotic fluid, the fluid sur-
rounding the embryo. The
percentage of certain spe-
cialized cells given off by the
embryo and found this fluid
differs for each sex.
An examination of the fluid
in 20 cases resulted in accu-
rate predictions every time.
The investigation is being ex-
tended to include examina-
tion of the fluid at every
stage of pregnancy.
The doctors who carried
through the research, all be-
tween 27 and 31 years of age,
are: Dr. David Serr, of Leeds,
England, now connected with
the Hadassah; Dr. Leo Sachs,
of Cambridge, England, now
with the Weizmann Institute,
and Dr, Mahtilde Danon of
Geneva University, now at
the Weizmann Institute,
Council, which is co-sponsoring
the series of three lectures, will
be the chairman of Monday's
lecture.
The Qumran manuscripts or
Dead Sea Scrolls, dating from
antiquity and only recently dis-
covered, have been the subject
of considerable controversy
among Jewish and non-Jewish
scholars. Dr. Solomon Zeitlin,
of Dropsie College, contends
that the Scrolls do not date
from the period ascribed to
them by scholars in the He-
brew University and others.

fessor of Semitic languages at
