Dr. A. Weinstein's
Two Novels Now
in Paperbacks
Dr. Alfred Weinstein, an Atlanta
physician, acquired fame as an
novelist before his death in
February 1964 at the age of 55.
Now his novels are gaining wide
circulations as paperbacks.
Mrs. 'Weinstein takes pride in
the posthumous acclaim for her
husband, and she has attained high
promotional status in the success
she has achieved - in arousing wide
interest in Dr. Weinstein's literary
products.
The two novels that are now in
paperbacks and are gaining ever-
increasing recognition are "Bar
bed-Wire Surgeon" and "The Scalp-
el's Edge," published by Pageant
Press (101 5th, NY 3).
The "Barbed-Wire" story, like
"Scalpel's Edge" is based on per-
sonal experiences. Dr. Weinstein
was a Japanese prisoner during
the last war. He relates in his
novel the efforts of a priest and
a rabbi to retain the faith of the
prisoners.
"Scalpel's Edge" may well be
called autobiographical. There is
striving to overcome prejudices.
Born in Chelsea, Mass., Dr. Wein-
stein was graduated from Harvard
Medical School. He began the
practice of medicine in Atlanta
in 1938. He joined the Army Medi-
cal Corps in 1940. At Bataan,
where he was in charge of a 2,000-
bed hospital, he was wounded. His
nurse was Hanna Kaunitz, a refu-
gee from Austria, who later be-
came his wife. He was captured
by the Japanese in 1944 and was
sent to the Omri punishment camp.
He was awarded Presidential ci-
tations for bravery. Upon his re-
turn to Atlanta he was active in
the Jewish War Veterans, the
Zionist movement, serving as presi-
dent of his district, and numerous
other causes. _
Dr. Weinstein won the Baryon
Prize for Literature at Harvard in
1926', the Danton Walker Literary
Prize in 1956 and the Muse Prize
for Literature in 1959.
His widow continues her inter-
est in the movements that were
dear to her husband and she is ac-
tive in many Jewish causes.
Baltimore Hebrew School
to Open Graduate Dept.
BALTIMORE (JTA)—The Heb-
rew Education Association, the rep-
resentative education bureau of
Hebrew schools affiliated with Or-
thodox congregations, has an-
nounced plans to open a depart-
ment of graduate study for grad-
uates of its high school department.
The new department, which will
begin functioning next fall, will
include courses in Talmud, Hebrew
grammar, modern Hebrew litera-
ture and conversational Hebrew.

In the book "Love Letters to
the Mets - compiled by Bill Adler,
they carry the following letter
from a young fan asking the base-
ball club for a favor. It concerned
an 86-year-old grandaunt. "Aunt
Tillie doesn't understand English
too well. When she listens to the
Met games on the radio she has a
difficult time following what is go-
ing on. Do you think you could
hire an announcer that speaks Yid-
ish? He could call the plays in
Yiddish after the regular announ- (----
cer does in English. There are
many old ladies that are Met fans
like Aunt Tillie. Open up your
heart to them. How much could -a
Yiddish announcer cost?"
Israel has been subjected to
another snub in international ath-
letics. This time it was at the
hands of the wrestling team from
India. The Indians were sched-
uled to meet the Israelis after fly-
ing from London, where they had
previously competed. The 12-man
Indian squad flew into Lydda Air-
port, accepted the reception com-
mittee's bouquet of flowers and
then informed their hosts that
they had been ordered by their
government not to meet the Israe-
lis. The Indians boarded their
plane and took off for home. The
Israeli Sports Association was left
with expenses involving the sell-
ing - of 2,000 seats and the cost of
training the Israel team. The Is-
raelis will protest to the Indian
Sports Association as well as to the
International Wrestling Associa-
tion.
