Prominent Zionist
Edward Jacobs Dies
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Ed-
ward Jacobs, prominent Ameri-
can Zionist, whom the United
States government cited follow-
ing World War I for his serv-
ices as a "dollar-a-year" man
during that war, died at the age
of 77.
Born in Russia and brought
by his parents to Atlanta at an
early age, Jacobs worked dur-
ing World War I as a volunteer
in the War Trade Board under
Bernard Barudh. He joined the
Zionist movement 60 years ago.
His wife, Mrs. Rose Jacobs, was
national president of Hadassah
and a member of the Jewish
Agency executive. She is now
honorary president of Hadas-
sah.
Kramarsky, Banker
Who Saved Jews
From Nazis, Dead
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
NEW YORK — Private fu-
neral rites were held here Tues-
day for Siegfried Kramarsky,
retired banker and philanthro-
pist who was active in aiding
Jewish refugees from the Nazi
regime and was a life - long
Zionist.
He died at his New York
home Monday at the age of 68.
For the past five years, he
had been chairman of the Fi-
nance Advisory Committee of
Hadassah, of which his wife,
Mrs. Loa Popper Kramarsky,
currently is president.
Born in Lubeck, Germany, he
and his wife left that country
in 1923 when Hitler was grow-
ing in influence and anti-Semitic
incidents organized by his fol-
lowers were already frequent.
The family settled in Amster-
dam and from 1933 to 1939 he
was busy organizing aid for
Jewish victims of the Hitler
regime who had fled to the
Netherlands.
When Hitler launched World
War II,.the Kramraskys fled to
Portugal. The late Dr. Chaim
Weizmann, a f a m i l y friend,
helped them to 'go to Canada.
The family settled in New York
in 1940, where Kramarsky con-
tinued his aid to victims of the
Nazi regime.
In Europe, he had been asso-
ciated with the banking firm of
Lisser and Rosendranz.
He was active in Jewish com-
munal affairs, in New. York, a
supporter of the Weizmann In-
stitute in Israel and a generous
contributor to the United Jew-
ish Appeal.
Russian Jew
Sentenced to Die
for 'Speculation'
LONDON, (JTA)—A 52-year-
old orthodox Jew was sentenced
to death by a Soviet court at Tif-
lis, the capital of Soviet Georgia,
on charges of "currency specula-
tion," according to reports receiv-
ed here from Moscow.
The defendant was Mordekh
A. Kakiashvili, who was not iden-
tified as Jewish but Soviet press
accounts of the trial made it
clearly evident he was a Jew.
The Soviet press reports said that
during pre-trial investigation he
declined to sign a statement of
interrogation on a Saturday. The
Zarya Vostoka; a Georgian news-
paper, also quoted him as saying:
"Today I cannot. I'll do it tomor-
row. You understand."
The news followed reports of
death sentences recently imposed
on orthodox Jews in Leningrad
on similar charges. Observers
here suggested that the trials and
sentences might represent a new
Soviet approach toward getting
rid of Jewish religious lay lead-
ers under the guise of charges
unrelated to the real Soviet
objective.
Engineer's Union Strike

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — The
Engineers Union which called

a threat to renew it in two
weeks if no settlement is
reached by then.
The union's executive adopt-
ed the strike decision by a seven
to six vot -night.
