Max Lapides as much as
any one in this generation
merited the description of
being a combination of
Zionist - pioneer - rescuer-
benefactor through the
years commencing with the
pre-Israel rescue activities.
He was a prime mover
in the "Magic Carpet" oper-
ations when the more than
40,000 Jews were assisted
in their movements out of
their birthplace into Israel.
He labored for the major
Zionist causes and was a
factor of eminence in the
work of the American
Jewish Joint Distribution
Committee in the years
when the JDC was a prime
factor in rescuing Jews and
settling them in Israel.
_He was always on call
in rescue activities yet
most of his last 35 years
were in Israel. He never
failed to welcome a De-
troiter to Eretz Israel
whenever he learned of
tourists from his home
town of Detroit visiting
the Jewish state.
Mr. Lapides, a lawyer
who assisted at the Nurem-
burg war crimes trial, died
Aug. 29 in New Haven,
Conn. He was 77.
He was a graduate of the
University of Buffalo and
Yale Law School. After the
war crimes tfial in 1946,
Mr. Lapides was on the staff
of the Justice Department
in Washington, D.C.
He was an aide to
Franklin D. Roosevelt when
Roosevelt was governor of
New York and was on his
campaign cabinet during
Leader of Magic Carpet Mission,

of the Counterintelli-
gence Department of the
Strategic Air Forces in
Europe, where he earned
a bronze star.

the staff of the immigration
and absorption department
of the Jewish Agency and
directed the Magic Carpet
operation.
