Sir Alexander Maxwell. head of
the British Travel Association, has
an extraordinary duty to perform
in America this week. The ener-
getic. f1ftyish Britisher. who came
to the United States for the prime
purpose of stimulating tourism to
Britain. spent the first part Of the
week in Washington and today
takes Off for the most amusing
sidelight of his whole stay.
Sir Alexander will be present
Friday for the first weighing In
Of the Mayor of Minneapolis.
If you think that the people of
the Minnesota city have suddenly
decided to weigh their Mayor to
find out II he is lining his pockets
with gold pr getting too fat off
the land-you're wrong. 1t was
Mayor Eric Hoyer himself who
decided to be weighed. I haven't
seen him. but he obviously doesn't
tip the scales at an embarrassing
figure or he never would have in
vited this old English custom.
It seems, explained Sir Alex

and he decided that it was just
the custom for the Mill City to
adopt. Nobody knows how long
the weighing in has been going on
in High Wycombe, but the GUS
tom is unique to the quiet English
market town. High Wycombe is so
old it's had an unbroken record
of representation at Westminster
since 1899. and the weighing in
custom probably began during
Elizabethan times.

'Gives Talk
AT Luncheon

A proposal for bringing some OF
the more serious of the 10000
tuberculosis cases in the State Of
Israel to this country for treat
ment was discussed yesterday be-
fore the Washington Ladies Aux
iliary of the Jewish Consumptives'
Relief Society.
The JCRS is making Is beds
available at it's Denver sanatorium
to take care Of the cases, Israel
Friedman, executive director Of
the sanatorium, told more than
600 women attending the auxil-
iary's annual donor luncheon at
the Mayf1ower Hotel.
The project, which is still in the
planning stage. the sanatorium
director explained, will be carried
out in cooperation with the He
brew migrant Aid Society. Sur
gical cases only will be taken. he
said, and on recovery will be re-
turned to their homeland.
In describing the work of the
sanatorium, which treats the pa
tients free of charge, Mr.. Fried
man said it costs the society $12
a day or almost $1,000 a year to
treat one patient. There are seven
from Washington, he pointed out.
AS an example Of the society's
work, Mr.. Friedman recalled that
the JCRS intervened in the case
of Is immigrants, detained on
Ellis Island for deportation to
iron curtain countries, because
they had tuberculosis. Mr.. Fried
man said that the JCRS sent
them to its sanatorium where
they are now under treatment.
and that some have already been
cured and released and returned
to their families.

To prove that he really had been
