Prof. Wright, British
Medical Authority, Dies

LONDON, (JTA)—Prof. Sam-
son Wright, one of Britain's
most brilliant teachers of medi-
cine and author of medical
books, as well as an active lead-
er of the British Jewish com-
munity, died here after he col-
lapsed at an annual ball spon-
sored by the Friends of the
Hebrew University. He was 57.
During the Nazi era he
worked indefatigably in relief
movements and in the rehabili-
tation of refugee doctors and
scientists. After the war, he
turned his energies to aiding re-
search and medical teaching in
Israel and last year the Heb-
rew University of Jerusalem
named a laboratory after him.
He was also a vice-president of
the Board of Deputies of British
Jews.

In Memoriam

In loving memory of our
dearly beloved wife and moth-
er, Jennie Ramboff, who :passed
away on March 24, 1953 (eight
days in Nisan).
Sadly missed by her husband,
Sam, children and grandchil-
dren.

In loving memory of our
daughter, Edith Wetsman Lieb-
erman, who passed away on the
13th day of Nisan.

The midnight stars are shining on a
lonely grave
Where our darling daughter sleeps
Whom we loved, but could not save.

Sadly missed by her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin D. Lieb-
erman.

In loving memory of our be-
loved husband and father, Louis
Hertzenson, who passed away
an April 1, 1952 (six days in
Nisan).
Sadly missed by his wife,
Helen, and children, Joan and
Allan.

Gurion, a military spokesman
declared that Israel has come
to regard the danger of war as
highly concrete.
Mr. Ben-Gurion, in his ca-
pacity as Defense Minister, was
teamed up with an army pri-
vate and a settler in erecting
a barbed wire fence around the
settlement perimeter. Nearby,
Maj. Gen. Moshe Dayan, Army
Chief of Staff, was teamed with
a private and settler in digging
trenches. In similar teams all
of the top officers of Israel's
Army of Defense helped con-
struct defensive trenches, rifle
pits and machine gun nests.
Other ministers went to dif-
ferent areas to help spark the
conversion of Israel's border
settlements into defensive out-
posts.
Recognition of the dangerous
situation following the upset-
ting of the military power bal-
ance in favor of the Arab
states has obliged Israel to
strengthen itself from within
through the utilization of all
resources, the Army spokesman
said. He said that in line with
this policy Israel would try to
convert every settlement into
a defensive position, a concept
that had proved valuable in
the War of Liberation.
