Dr. Herbert E. Kaufman, head of opthalmology at the Univer- sity of Florida, reported on his findings at an international symposium here on virus re- search. He reported on his re- search on two drugs which were found to be potent against an eye infection caused by the herpes simplex virus. Kaufman said he had used the two drugs in the treatment of infections caused by the virus in the corneas of rabbits and later of 'a central group of hu- man patients, in cooperation with specialists of the Massachu- setts Eye and Ear Infirmary of Boston. Without treatment, only one in ten such infections ends without . leaving serious damage to the cornea. Jewish Children's Library Enriched by Sadie R.

The award, to be given by the lodge at a meeting sched- uled for Feb. 22, has been voted to Msgr. Vincent 0. Genova, pastor of the Holy Family Church in Canarsie. The award was voted to Msgr. Genova because, last fall, he . made available for general community use a large plot of land donated to his parish for an athletic field. "Brotherhood," said Msgr. Genova, "is a con- scious movement of adults — children accept each other at face value:" Children from fam- ilies of all faiths in the area, including many Jewish homes, use the playing field.

Prophet to come to the Seder, and it was in response to her silent prayer that the little kid walked into the house while they were singing the -Had Gadya, and it is as Gadya that the kid brings them all luck. The warmth that permeates the stories in this book imme- diately absorbs the reader and is absorbed by him. The co- operativeness of the family, its Jewish faith, its devotion com- bine to make it heartwarming and inspiring. In the course of this fam- ily's life, there is a Jewish spirit that leads to a full understanding of the Jewish festivals, Jewish customs and the ways of Jewish family life. Many tales are told, and there are also exciting ad- ventures, the most stirring involving Kezele who was snatched by a gypsy_ who wanted to steal from him the Yad—the Torah pointer he was handling without his mother's knowledge—and the rescue that came through Todros who beat up and drove off three gypsies single-handed. Reizel's quest for and acqui- sition of a knowledge of read- ing Hebrew, the family's cele- bration of the Jewish festivals, the making of the Hanukah dreidels by the father, mother's gathering of feathers for bed- ding as her daughter's trousseau —all combine to make a mar- velous, instructive, entertaining and exciting set of tales. Mrs. Weilerstein has enriched .the Jewish children's library with her "Ten and a Kid." —P. S.

The artist, Alan F. P. Moyler of West Redding, a British sub- ject, pleaded guilty to the charges in district and Federal courts and was sentenced to fines totaling $700 and placed on three years' probation. Jail terms totaling 210 days were suspended. William J. Kennedy, Deputy District Director of the Immi- gration and Naturalization Serv- ice, said that an investigation for possible deportation of Moy- ler was under way since he is a China-born British national who entered the United States in 1952. He never acquired Amer- ican citizenship. Some of the victims received dead rats and bats in Moyler's mailings.

PAUL, Minn., (JTA) — When the new Catholic Divine Redeemer Memorial Hospital opens next month in South 'St. Paul, it will do so with a Jew as chairman of its board and his wife as president of the hospital auxiliary.

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Mrs. Rose Halprin, co-chairman of the two presently ex is ti n.g World Confederations of Gen- eral Zionists, expressed per- sonal doubts and reservations about a possible merger of the competing organizations. She told a press conference that the confederation of which she is co-chairman nevertheless would discuss the entire prob- lem of merger at a convention in May. She said that Hadassah would insist on the principle that there should be no identifica- tion between the merged con- federation and any political party in Israel. Commenting on a proposal that a branch of the General Zionist movement should be es- tablished in Israel to deal only with problems of the Zionist movement, Mrs. Halprin said she could not accent the idea that the same people who head the Liberal party in Israel would also be heads of the Gen- eral Zionist movement proposed now. Mrs. Halprin expressed sur- prise over "hints" from Dr. Em- anuel Neumann—who heads the other confederation — that if Hadassah blocked the path to merger, he would try to get other organizations, now affili- ated with Mrs. Halprin's group, to join a united confederation. She said that "If this is a threat, I can face it and I will be firm on our non-identifica- tion principle." Asked to comment, Dr. Neu- mann said that Mrs. Halprin's position, as reported, amounts to a rejection of the idea of uni- fication—even of the suggested compromise plan of including within a United Confederation, not the Liberal Party as such, but a Zionist body to be set up in Israel for purely Zionist pur- poses. "We, on our part," Dr. Neumann pointed out, "accept and favor • the principle of non- involvement in Israel's internal politics; but we are not pre- pared to exclude from a world confederation a group of like- minded Israeli Zionists because they are resident Israelis and citizens of Israel. That would be absurd." Dr. Neumann further stated: "We must likewise reject the idea that a Zionist group in Is- rael cannot be affiliated with a world confederation of General Zionists, if the leadership of such a Zionist group includes persons who occupy prominent positions in the Liberal Party. To exclude them on that ground would mean. denying them either their rights and duties as citizens of Israel, or their status and rights as members of the World Zionist Organization. Such a position would be illogi- cal, un-Zionist in spirit and con- trary to the structure and pat- tern of the Zionist movement."
