The Ussishkin biography by Kling traces the early affiliation with the Hoveve Zion, his collabo- ration with Herzl, his opposition to the Uganda proposal for the estab- lishment of an African Jewish settlement. He was always the strong man — was called "the man of iron," yet, as the biographer shows, there was a warm, a human, a soft side to him. He was the political activist, yet he was always the Ahad Ha- Amist who was striving for cul- tural values in Zionism. Therefore he was among the most active supporters of the movement for the Hebrew University and sup- ported many literary projects. He had an affection for Jabo- tinsky and he was deeply grieved when the Revisionist leader died in 1940. At one point, Ussishkin was "a mighty warrior who, through his vision and leadership, won his Place among the immortals of the Eternal People," he was "one of the catalytic agents . . . one of the outstanding personalities in every enterprise which led toward the rejuvenation of the Jewish people in its historic homeland." `Puzzle-Paradox' Collection Fills Book by O'Beirne Menahem Ussishkin looking at a map of what was then Palestine. A similar photo was taken at the home of the late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Shetzer on Longfellow Avenue, explaining the value of Jewish acquisition of the Emek through the Jewish National Fund. "Puzzles and Paradoxes" by T. H. O'Beirne, published by Oxford University Press (417 5th, NY 16), is exactly what the title indicates, a volume replete with puzzle and paradoxes. But while it contains the lighter vein material, it is a serious book, and for mathematicians it repre- sents a challenge. The a u t h o r, a distinguished Scotish mathematician, deals with puzzles that will require geometri- cal and mathematical solutions— even by the very skilled. He de- votes himself to discussions of false coins and trial balances, race track problems and scores of other subject that turns the gamut of geometery into puzzles. There also is the astronomic element and the calendar is un- der analysis. He explains the Passover occurrence on the lunar calendar and he indicates that "as time progresses, it becomes increasingly necessary to take note of the facts that the year does not contain an exact num- ber of lunar months, and that neighbor of the latter periods. contains an exact number of days." A wealth of information is in- corporated into this book, and un- der puzzles, studded with para- doxes, are compiled facts of great interest, with special value to the mathematician-astronomer. Lubavitcher Rebbe Hits Use of Abridged Bibles in Jewish Schools NEW YORK — "If we really want 'to cultiate in our Jewish children the proper regard fdr the sancity of the Divine Torah and its value as being 'our very life and the length of our days,' educa- tors must cease teaching them from a mutilated Humash (Bible), one that has been 'cut to size' by an `educator' who himself lacked the proper attitude and feeling toward the Torah and its Mitzvoth, or who was *utterly misguided," said the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Mena- chem M. Schnerson, in a statement them M. Scheneerson world head- quarters here. In a strong appeal to Jewish edu- cators at the approach of the new school term, the rebbe in his state- ment criticized the use of the aitzur Humash' (abridged Bible) in Jewish schools.
