Passing by quietly lately was
the 90th birthday of Dr. Abra-
ham Flexner, who, many years
ago, was responsible for a
change in medical education in
this country which was nothing
short of revolutionary.
His famous report on medical
schools, issued in 1910, rocked
the medical world. His abso-
lutely merciless expose of the
diploma mills and fake medical
colleges of the day was so ef-
fective that half of the then
existing medical colleges in the
U.S.—there were 155 of them—
closed down in a matter of
months.
But Dr. Flexner's contribu-
tions did not stop with this

Best Wishes For A Happy Hanukah

A Quiet Voice of Assurance
Supports Israel at the UN

BY SAUL CARSON

(JTA Correspondent at the UN)
(Copyright, 195&, JTA, Inc.)

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —
A voice spoke up in Moscow.
Pointing a stubby finger at Is-
rael's Charge D'Affaires, and at
the Ambassadors of Britain and
France, the voice boomed: "We
Will Bury You!" Touching spe-
cifically upon Israel, the voice
stated: "Israel carries no weight
in the world; if it played any
role, it was just to start a fight."
From the podium of the great
hall of the General Assembly,
here at the United Nations, an-
other voice was heard. This was
a gentle, melodious voice. It
was the voice of a woman, and
there was something of the
flavor of an ancient prophetess
in the tones of this lady stand-
ing before her peers in the As-
sembly.
"My delegation," said this
speaker, "cannot refrain from
speaking on this question."
The question was of Soviet
oppressions in Hungary. The
question was of Soviet prac-
tice of genocide in Hungary.
The question was of Soviet
deportation of freedom fight-
ers in Hungary.
There was a perceptible stir
in the Assembly as the second
voice spoke. The speaker did not
have to add bitter emphasis
when she mentioned the denials
of the Hungarian events by the
Soviet bloc spokesman.
These spokesmen for the
USSR and its communist apol-
ogists had spoken of "vicious
propaganda." But we all know,
said the gentle voice in tones
still more gentle, "we all know

Javits Visits Israel;
Urges Retaining Ties

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Jacob K.
Javits, Senator-elect from New
York State, speaking at a meet-
ing of all Israeli parties except
the Communists, declared that
the feelings of the American
people toward Israel had not
changed.
He advised against Israel's
seeking new friends because it
was assured of America's friend-
ship, despite the fact that dif-
ferences occurred occasionally.
Referring to the recent Israel
action in Sinai; the Senator-
elect said that the American
people were fully aware that
Israel's action had been moti-
vated by a "deep feeling of jus-
tification" for self-defense and
not by a desire to expand Is-
rael's territory.
Javits spent three days in Is-
rael, on part of a tour that will
take him to many of the world's

trouble spots.
