Greatest Envoy of the Jewish People British Correspondent, Accusing Israel, Urges
For this reason, Weizmann was
the greatest Jewish emissary to
the Gentile world. He was an
ambassador to the Gentiles, the
most gifted and fascinating envoy
the Jewish people ever produced.
There was no other Jew in whom
the non-Jewish world perceived
the embodiment of the Jewish
people, with their ability, their
will, and their longings. He was
perhaps the only truly great am-
bassador produced by the Jewish
people throughout the generations.
Weizmann fascinated the Gen-
tiles with his Jewish grandeur,
his Jewish profundity, his genius
for depicting for them the deep-
est and most intimate emotions
of the people of Israel.
Weizmann was the only one
among the Zionist leaders who left
the Diaspora not through external
persecution or edict, or catastropic
upheaval. He had a proud and
assured position in England such
as was given to few Jews in the
world, but he belonged to a fam-
ily of outstanding pioneers and
men of action. He identified him-
self personally with the under-
taking in Eretz Israel and settled
in this land.
Rarely in history does a creator
achieve his reward. Moses died
when he saw the land from afar.
Herzl died on alien soil whilst
the dream of his life was still
remote from realization Weizmann
was privileged to see the fruits of
his life's toil; the state of which
he had laid the foundations and
which he had spent his years
building. And the State of Israel
State, the territorial idea: Wei:- was proud to elect Weizmann its
mann, on the other hand, found first President. His presidency
his way to the State of Israel enhanced the glory of our state
through an inward and Messianic and nation, just as the state was
tie with the Land of Israel. This the crown of his life' swork.
love of country he had acquired
with his mother's milk, in religious `Big Power Role in '56
By DAVID BEN-GURION
Two great men rose in the cause
of Zionism—Herzl and Weizmann.
It is difficult to find, in the his-
tory of any one nation, two men
who had so powerful an influence
over the lives of their fellows,
yet who were so very different,
not only in their capabilities, but !
in the relationship they bore to
their people.
Herzl came from the outer
world. He was a typical assimi-
lated Jew with no knowledge of
his people's culture nor any ac-
quaintance with the Jewish masses.
I le was, surely, moved by an
inherent Jewish feeling, but it was
only through reaction to external
events that he returned to the
Jewish people and conceived the
idea of the Jewish State.
Weizmann was the exact op-
posite in a number of essential
respects: for one thing, he was
first and foremost a Jewish Jew.
Ile was born in a small hamlet
within the Pale of Jewish settle-
ment in Russia; he was bred in
the lap of Judaism, amongst the
masses of Israel. He was nurtured
in his people's qualities of insight,
humor and intelligence: and, al-
though he later settled in West-
ern Europe where he studied and
acquired the ways of European
culture and became its scion -, the
intimate medium in which his
keenness. humor. alterness of
mind and straightforwardness
found their best expression was
Yiddish.
Herzl found his way to Eretz
Israel through the idea of a Jewish
school, through the Hebrew lan-
guage, through Hebrew prayer; it
teas an organic part of his nature.
That was why he opposed the
Uganda proposal so passionately,
in spite of his practicality and real-
?sm. To his mind Eretz Israel as
such stood above State and Land.

Witness Tells of Crime
of Nazi in Milan Court
MILAN (JTA)—An eye-witness
to the Nazi deportation of Italian
Jews identified Tuesday a defend-
, ant in a West German war crimes
trial as the SS captain who led
a detachment of soldiers to seize
Jews from their homes in a Milan
suburb during World War H.
The witness, Mrs. Emma Pepere,
identified t h e defendant, Hans
Kruger, from a photograph of 32
German soldiers and officials
shown to her by a section of the
Osnabreuck Court which is taking
evidence here.
Mrs. Pepere, daughter of a for-
mer university professor, is not
Jewish. She told the judges that
Kruger led his detachment to a
Jewish villa in the suburb of Arona
and that the German soldiers
started to drag her away although
she protested that she was not
Jewish. Kruger believed her and
ordered her release.
She said that she saw a Jewish
acquaintance being taken away in
a German truck. He appealed to
her for help but she could do noth-
ing, Mrs. Pepere told the court.

Negro Good Will for Jews
NEW YORK (JTA) — The na-
tional director of the Congress of
Racial Equality (CORE) denied
Sunday that his organization was
anti-Semitic and said there was
"an enormous residue of good will
in the Negro community for the
Jews." Floyd McKissick charged
that "the interests of white rac-
ists" were served by Negro-Jewish
hostility.
Addressing a seminar sponsored
by the New York Federation of
Reform Synagogues, an arm of
the Union of American Hebrew
Congregations, McKissick said that
any anti-Jewish feeling expressed
in the Negro community had been
mainly against "Jewish install-
ment merchants, slumlords and
the like." This, he said, was a pro-
test against exploitation of Negroes
by individuals rather than against
.
