Israelis Develop Imm unizer Against Infectious Disease
Arlazaroff Nets $45,000 in Bond Sale
REHOVOT — A group of new
immunizing substances which fos-
ter the protective mechanisms of
the mammalian body against sev-
ere infectious diseases has been
developed by a research team
headed by Prof. Aharon Katzir-
Katchalsky of the Weizmann In-
stitute of Science and Dr. Eitan
Lahav of the Volcani Institute of
Agricultural Research.
These substances were obtained
by applying a suitable enzyme to
the main protein of milk-casein
from which the name of the sub-
stances called caseidins is derived.
The caseidins are a family of com-
pounds which differ from each
other according to the mammalian
milk used. The researchers em-
ployed milk from cows, sheep and
gazelles.
All these compounds are derived
from a natural foodstuff produced
by mammals; hence they are non-
toxic and can be injected in large
quantities into the mammalian
body without harm. In addition,
the injection of these substances
does not produce any allergic reac-
tion.

paign. The campaign will be climaxed by the Labor Zionist Move-
ment-Landsmanshaften Israel 21st anniversary celebration May 13,
which will honor Mrs. Mondry.

The Straus family of New York
may be said to embody the Horace I
Greeley spirit of 19th Century I
America. Lazarus Straus and his
children "went west"—from their
native Germany
—to settle in
Georgia shortly
before the Civil
War, but Judeo-
phobic sentiment
in the Confeder-
acy determined
Lazarus to relo-
cate in New York
City, where in
time his family
acquired a con- Straus
trolling interest in the firm of
R. H. Macy and Sons and became
leading New York merchants. One
of Lazarus' sons, Isidor, was elect-
ed to Congress; another, Nathan,
won an enviable reputation for his
efforts to promote public welfare
in New York.
The third and youngest son, Os-
car Solomon Straus, abandoned a
promising legal career to enter the
diplomatic service and ultimately
to become secretary of commerce
and labor in the Theodore Roose-
velt Administration. The first Jew
to hold a Presidential cabinet post,
Oscar Straus maintained an active
interest in Jewish life as well. As
Mrs. Cohen says, he "wove his
religious heritage inextricably into
his secular activities."
Oscar was undoubtedly an im-
portant figure on both the general-

New Lubavitcher City

NEW YORK—A new Lubavitch-

Israel, it was announced here by
the office of the secretariat of the
Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Mena-

The new city will be known as
"Nahalat Har Chabad," and will
be home for more than 400 Luba-
vitcher families now immigrating
to Israel.
Nahalat Har Chabad is situated
about 35 miles southwest of Jeru-
salem, between Rehovot and Beer-
sheba. It will be the third Luba-
vitcher city to be established in'
Israel.
