Hakoahs and led the Metropolitan
League in scoring for three
straight years.
BORIS NACHAMKIN - The
famous six-foot-six center of New
York University led all of the
players of New York City in
basketball scoring last season. He
has another season to go at
N. Y. u, and it's a safe bet that
he'll break the university's scoring
mark. He needs only $50 points
next season to break the existing
mark of LOOP made by Sid Tan
nenbaum for four seasons.
MARVIN HERSHKOWITZ -
Another basketball star, Hershko-
witt is the captain Of Yeshiva
University team. Marvin, who
stands 6-1, is also known for his
ability as a high scorer.
HENRY WITTENBERG - A
New York policeman, Henry is
one of the nations outstanding
amateur wrestlers. He was on the
U. S. Olympic team that went to
Helsinki, and he also participated
in the Maccabiah in 1850.
DON SPLITTER - Don will be
one of the foremost attractions
with the American team. He ex-
GELS in the 400 meter race, and is
former distance star of City
College of New York. Don will
just about get in under the wire
for the Maccabiah games. He's in
the army, but he's due to be dis
charged in time to make the trip
to Israel. He has competed in
army meets in Japan and Korea.
AS for the coaching staff, in this
department there are also several
outstanding sportsmen.
BRUTUS HAMILTON - He
coached the U. S. track team in
the 1852 games at Helsinki. Now
he's plotting the track squad for
the Maccabiah. Hamilton has been
a leading track and field coach

With the U. S. team slated to
go to the Maccabiah games in Is
rael almost completed, several
personalities stand out for their
importance to the victory hopes of
the American contingent.
MARTIN ENGEL-A top notch
hammer thrower, Engel took part
in the Olympic Games at Hell
sink. He recently won the ham,
mer throw championship in the
National A. A. U. and IC-4A COM
petitions. Engel is junior at New
York University.
BERNIE MAYER-Mayer, for
merly of N. Y. U. copied second
place recently as shot putter in
the National A. A. U. champion
ships. He has been starring in the
shot put for several years.
HENRY LASKAU - Those ia
miliar with the sport of walking
are familiar with Henry Laskau.
For Laskau is practically synony-
nous with amateur walking in
the United States. Henry took
part in the Helsinki OlympicS and
also participated in the 1850 Mac
cabiah.
VIC FRANK = He took part in
the 1948 Olympics and was N. c.
A. A. discus champ while at Yale.
Now Frank has settled down to
being a lawyer in Philadelphia.

which Jews, as separate, unab-
sorbed community, have made to
the world through the centuries
r.. AS to non-Jewish readers, for
whom the book is also intended,
they will certainly be impressed
with the scholarly essays since
they are not written in any spirit
of pro-Jewish propaganda, but
represent pure unadulterated
scholarships Despite their
scholarly nature, all essays are
written, however, in style which
makes absorbing reading No
American Jew who really wants
to get an unprejudiced judgment
of the sum of human thought
which the Jewish view has con-
tributed to the world should fail
to read ''The Legacy of Israeli .
1t is not a book of Jewish history,
but it evaluates many phases of
Jewish thinking from the Bible
to Spinoza and from Hillel to
Mendelssohn, and shows what
this thinking meant to the world.

Creative Jewish
Living seen in America

VILLAGERS, N. C. = Greater
opportunities for the creative sur
vival of American Jewry exist
now than ever before, DR.. Albert
I. Gordon told the Institute of
Judaism sponsored here by B'nai
Birth District No. 5. At the same
time, however, DR.. Gordon warn
ed against the general weaken
ing of the religious base of Jewish
life in America and the in
creasingly serious problem of in
termarriage. DR.. Gordon is the
spiritual leader of Congregation
Emanuel, of Newton Center, Mass.
Major theme of this Institute is
''The American Jewish Commu-
nifty" Besides DR.. Gordon, other
faculty members who discussed
this theme were DR.. Jacob R. Mar
Gus, of Hebrew Union College;
Professor Salo w. Baron of Co.
lumbia University; and Philip M.
Klutznick, President of B'nai
Birth. The Wildacres meeting is
one of 10 B'nai Birth Institutes of
Judaism being held in various
parts of the United States and
Europe this year.
Citing the narrowing of differ
ences among American Jews as
one of the factors favorable to
Jewish survival, DR.. Gordon said:
more American Jews are
thinking, acting and holding to a
core of values in common The
growing lines of indistinction be-
tween Jews who call themselves
Orthodox, Reform or Conserva-
tive is likely to make for a
healthy unity of purpose as con-
trasted with an unwholesome
uniformity"
DR.. Gordon also noted that
while present day leadership is
often weak, improperly motivated
and inadequately prepared for its
tasks, there appears to be an ever
increasing number of up-and-
coming laymen who are begin
ming to challenge their leaders.

F. The writer's of the essays ap-
proach their various themes in the
spirit of scientific impartiality {.
They admire the effects and in

given to the enrichment and bene-
fit of the world, but they admire

the great value of the book Z.

analysis of the essay dealing with
the debt of Christianity to Juda-
ism, or the essays on the influ-
ence of Judaism on Western law,
or Puritanism, or an Islam, or on
European languages or on modern
literature But all these and the
other essays, written by scholars
of the highest standing, will def

ISRAEL'S LEGACY

What makes a Jew proud of being
a Jew? :. This question is heard
too often nowadays among Amer
ican-born Jews who know prac-
tically nothing about Jewishness
/. I heartily recommend that
such Jews should read "The
Legacy of Israel" just published
by Oxford University Press e.
This is a volume of essays by
noted British scholars-most of
h e m non-Jews-which shows
what the Jews have contributed
to culture and civilization from
the early days of the Hebrews till
modern times And do not
make the mistake of thinking
that there is any back-slapping in
this book to make the Jew of
today feel happy :. Or that this
is another book of sermons about
Judaism :. This is a companion
volume to 'The Legacy of Rome"
and "The Legacy of Greece
volumes concerned with present
ing in a scholarly way the heri-
tage which our modern world has
received from the. three greatest
civilizations: the Greek, the Ro-
man and the Jewish But while
the legacies of Greece and Rome,
rich as they are, came to an end,

authors point OUTS not yet en-

WHAT is YOUR LIFE WORTH?
Continued from page seUers

If your wife is older than you and
her life expectancy is shorter than
yours, then you must multiply
your income by her expectancy
instead of yours.
In the Long Island wreck the
high-salaried executives life was
worth less than the young clerks
because the executive was over 80
and had a very short expectancy,
whereas the clerk, who had a
promising career, had an expec-
fancy of 40 years.
In the Mt. Carmel plane dis
aster, passenger De Vito's widow
received such a huge award be-
cause her husband was 38 years
old, in excellent health, employed
steadily by one firm for Is years,
had risen from a $35 per week
stenographer to a junior executive
earning $4,000 a year; testimony
established that he would have
received steady raises and that an
ultimate salary of $25,OO0 was
likely.
AS a matter of fact, Mrs. De
Vito was awarded $500, 900 by the
jury but this amount was reduced
on appeal to $4,000. Appeal
judges usually feel that they must
put some ceiling on awards that
are so high they are unreasonable.

DR.. Emanuel

DR.. Emanuel Gil-av of the De-
partment of Organic Chemistry OF
the Weizmann Institute of Science
was born in Russia in 1916, left
there at the age of S years and
arrived in Israel in 1928. He
studied in France and in 1887 re-
ceived a B. S. in Chemistry at the
University of Strasbourg, special
izing in Petroleum Chemistry.
AS a result of this experience
DR.. Chain Weizmann invited DR..
Gil-av during World War II to
join his group in Manchester,
England in the research for chem
icals from oil. After the War, DR..
Gil-av returned to Rehovoth and
the Organic Chemistry Depart
ment of the Weizmann Institute.
He received his Pho. from the
Hebrew University in 1852.
Now on a leave of absence from
the Weizmann Institute, DR..
Gil-av has been spending his time
at the U. S. Bureau of Mines Sta
tons at Rifle, Colorado, and La
ramie, Wyoming, studying oil
Shale problems. Since Israel as
yet has not discovered oil on it's
territory and must therefore
spend some $40 million on the i'm
portation of fuel, the necessity for
finding new and economical
methods of extracting oil from
shale is apparent. Should there
be an international crisis of any
kind, Israel would be forced to
rely on its own meager resources.
