umphant tour to America where he
met Vladimir Jabotinsky and the

a danger of pogroms in Vienna,
Felix together with others, formed
a Jewish defense group. He was
a co-founder of IGUL, an organiza-
tion of academic Zionists and he
published a directory of its mem-
bers which numbered about 1,500.
IGUL still exists in London, Tel
i Aviv and New York.
Felix arrived in London in 1935
and helped to found the "Unity
Group" headed by the late Dr.
Ignacz Zollschan; he was also a
member of the executive of the
Jewish State Party and after its
amalgamation with the New Zion-
ist Organization he was elected a
member of the United Zionist Re-
visionist Executive. He was a dele-
gate to the conferences of the Zion-
ist Federation and the British sec-
tion of the World Jewish Congress,
and a member of the Board of
Deputies of British Jews. He was
very active all his life, and ad-
dressed various meetings through-
out London. -

daughter and a son, Dr. Peter
