Dover Reprints Classics
on End-Game Studies

A classic in the literature of

chess, "1234 Modern End-Game
Studies" is available from Dover
in a newly revised paperback edi-
tion.
Compiled by M. A. Sutherland
and H. M. Lommer, this encyclo-
peda of end-game compositions has
taught and entertained countless
players ever since it first appeared
in 1938. Its artistic compositions
show when to sacrifice, how to
force a mate, and, most important,
how to end a game as cleverly as
possible. The endings, many of
them usually skillful and astonish-
ing, were composed by experts like
Reti, Troitzky, Cheron, Kubbel,
Duras, Fuchs, Rinck, Holm and
others, in all, 200 leaders in the
field.
One of the experts featured in
the Sutherland and Lommer book,
Alexander Troitzky, comes to the
fore in another Dover paperback,
"360 Brilliant and Instructive End-
Games" by A. A. Troitzky. Includ-
ed in this book are many of the
Russian master's finest composi-
tions, studies that appeared in
Russian and in Western European
journals during the greater part of
the first half of this century.

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

Lt. Col. Seymour Moskowitz (center), Jewish chaplain at the U.S.
Army Base, in Zama, Japan, shows his Protestant and Catholic col-
leagues a newly consecrated Geniza, or bibliocrypt, erected behind
the chapel at Camp Zama. Built by U.S. Army engineers to specifi-
cations prepared by Chaplain Moskowitz, the vault is a permanent
depository for Hebrew prayer books that are no longer useable and
for other worn religious objects originally provided to all Jewish
chaplains by the National Jewish Welfare Board commission on
Jewish chaplaincy but which may not be burned or otherwise dis-
posed of, even when they are outworn. The concrete vault, measur-
ing 8 feet, 8 inches in length and 4 feet, 8 inches in width, has a
steel re-enforced center core and a concrete marker on the outside.
A Geniza in Jewish tradition is a storehouse set aside in a synagogue
for the permanent deposit of Tora scrolls, rabbinic texts and prayer
books that have become too worn for further use and which should
not be destroyed because they contain the name of God. The Geniza
at Camp Zama is believed to be the first erected on a U.S. Army
base. Shown with Chaplain Moskowitz are Base Chaplain Kenneth
G. Erwin (left) and Chaplain John R. Diez, the Catholic chaplain.
