"Wolfson of Harvard: Por- trait of a Scholar" by Leo W. Schwarz hardly defines the book. It is a tribute to the eminent scholar. It also serves to give due credit to the labors of the biographer who also left an inerasable legacy in the field of Ameri- can Jewish literary creativ- ity. HAROLD S.

Through this volume the names of both are recorded with glory. Schwarz gained fame as an anthologist. He was a friend of Wolfson. He had written the biog- raphy and commented on the works of Wolfson in the latter's lifetime. But Wolfson wanted it pub- lished after his death. R is now available after the death of both. It is to the credit of the Jewish Pub- lication Society that the immense work is made available and that it be- comes part of American Jewry's indestructible library. This impressive work on Wolfson by Schwarz be- comes even more impres- sive because of the epilogue which contains a timely tri- bute by a noted American Jewish leader, making the portrait of a great scholar a living legacy. Lewis H. Weinstein, who attained national Jewish leadership and who, as a Harvard Bos- tonian knew Wolfson, regis- ters the affections of two generations for Wolfson in this deeply moving essay. Wolfson (1887-1974) be- came a symbol of the great university in his 60 years at Harvard. He was the world's outstanding author- ity on the great Jewish and Moslem philosophies. As Nathan Littauer Professor of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy he became the pride of the university to which he devoted his life.

"The story of Wolfson's pursuit of knowledge is full of adventure. It is that story that I have tried to tell in this book. And because the man is as compelling as his work and his personality as many-faceted, I have also attempted to tell the human side of the story." Weinstein's Epilogue, the reminiscences about a great man, add glory to a great book about a great scholar by one of the most eminent HARRY WOLFSON authors of Wolfson's was the first such Hebrew lifetime.

Wolfson's successor to the honor of the Littauer professorship, Prof. Isa- dore Twersky, wrote an appreciation of Wolfson and this adds immensely to the tributes expressed in this work. Now the Center of Jewish Studies is being established at a cost of $15 million by Harvard University. It will serve as a memorial to Wolfson. The portrait of the scholar published by the JPS is an inspiratit1n for fu- ture generations as it was a reflection of the lifetime of Harry Wolfson. —PS.

They reacted angrily at being notified at this late stage. Some said they had already quit their jobs and rented their flats in antici- pation of going abroad. A few threatened to sue the Jewish Agency for compen- sation. Raphael Kotlowitz, chairman of the immigra- tion and absorption de- partment, said they could appeal to the Jewish Agency Executive Commit- tee. The rejections were based on the results of the courses which were not received until now. Meanwhile, the Agency's settlement department an- bounced that it would begin emphasizing industrial de- velopment in all settle- ments, including veteran villages devoted exclusively to agriculture. The action is intended to create more jobs. Israel Air Force Buys More Kfirs TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Israel Air Force has an- nounced that it will buy more of the Kfir jet fighter planes than originally in- tended. They will replace older aircraft to be phased out. The main reason for the increased orders appears to be the fast fading hopes of marketing the Israeli-made combat aircraft abroad. Plans to sell Kfirs to Ecuador were stymied when the United States refused to permit the re-export of those components of the jet, including the engine, that were made in the U.S. or produced in Israel with American know-how. Austria, which appeared to be a potential customer, has backed out, apparently for political reasons and the U.S. is still withholding permission, for sales to Taiwan. By'.taking more Kfirs, the Israeli Air Force will help keep the produc- tion line moving at Israel Aircraft Industries.
