No person is more distinguished
in the Jewish hall of fame than
the late DR.. Chain Weizmann, the
first president of the State of Is
rael. This year marks the 10th an
niversary of his yahrtzeit and all
through the world wherever Jews

ever struggled with such persist
tence and patience, such wisdom
and flexibillty over so thorny a
path, so difficult and for such a
long period.
He was one who was the spirit
of the rebirth of the dignity and
the nobility of the Jew. No one
who heard him or saw him or
was with him did not somehow
magically feel the touch of a great
spirit.
In his famous autobiography
"Trial and Error" there is not
only the summary of his trials
and tribuIatiOns but also a pic
ture of the man himself. Out OF
it's pages rises a portrait OF one
who was never afraid to face the
prOblems of Jewish hOmeleSsness
and Jewish sorrow.
Within him combined a most
unique charm of the past and a
power of the present. Deep were
his insights and profound his mowi-
edge and courage to deal with lie
as new emerging people came
out of the ghetto into the bright
sunlight of a new Jewish renals-
sance of spiritual determination
and of new dignity and honor.
Chain Weizmann came out OF
- (Nf fhnCn
settlements of Motol. He was a
product of the ghetto. Here IN
Motol Chain Weizmann received
his Cheder education and was
schooled in the rich Hebraic ira
ditions which remained deep In
his soul throughout his life.
He took to his JewishneSs as
something that was deeply kin
dred to his soul.
From MOtoI he went to Pinsk,
where he got his first bent to-
wards science and his first ex-
periences in Zionism. These two
disciplines were both part Of his
life and somehow were never
separated, even though they were
distinctly different. Within his
personality they were uniquely
combined.
He showed how it is possible for
a man who retreats into the small
confines of the experimental lab
oratory to also step forward and
deal with human life and human
situations.
In Geneva, Switzerland, Weiz-
mann began to develop his doc
toral thesis and finished his spe-
cial work on dye-stuff researches
on which he received the top rat
ing of summa cum laude. Here in
Geneva was where Trotsky and
Lenin were planning the Russian
revolution of communism. 1t was
also here that he met the great
spirits of world Zionism like Men
del Ussishkin, the leader of Rus
sian Zionism, and that great phil
osopher and scholar Achadha-Am
Nachman Syrkin and Shmary Le-
vim.
For many years Chain Weiz-
mann used to look upon his scien-
tific work and his Zionist activi-
ties as two rival loves, one that
would disturb the other. Actually
the two scientific disciplines
which he received from his past
were most helpful in developing
his personality and his belief.

viously, a concentrated effort is
being made to destroy Jewish cul-
tureI
But. more than the culture is be-
ing attacked. We all know that no
religion is made comfortable in the
Soviet Union. The schools, the
press, the propaganda mills all de-
light in mimicking and belittling
all religious beliefs. 1t is with spe-
cial zeal that they attack Juda-
ism. The synagogues are described
as centers of corruption and gath
ering places for traitors. These at
tackS on Judaism of course tend
to destroy the reputation and eco
nomic position of Individual Jews.
They tend to make the Jew asham-
ed of his religion and actually fear
full of participating in it.
And even if he would want to,
how could he? There is no place
to obtain tails or tephillin. Jew
ish calendars have to be drawn by
hand, photographed, and secretly
circulated. No copies of the He
brew Bible are available; there
aren't even translations by Jewish
authorities.
Furthermore, we have seen
that the study of Hebrew is a
crime, so that the younger gen.
GRAFTON is ignorant of the Ian
guage of the synagogue. The few
torn and tattered prayerbOOks
are beyond their comprehension;
even if they wanted to pray, they
could not participate.
Nor are there rabbis and teach
erS to minister to the people. At
the present time there is one rabbi
for every 10000 believing Jews.
Until 1857 there wasn't even a SEM
mary for the training of replace
mentS. Since then, exactly two
men have been ordained by the
Yeshiva in Moscow. In 1861 there
were 13 students preparing for the
rabbinate. Eleven were over 40
years old! Now the government
has found a preteXt for removing
nine of the students. Four remain
to teach and to minister to Rus
sia'S once proud Jewry.
There is more, much more, but
the real question is, What can we
who live in freedom do for them?
How ironic that we who have Jew
ish books, who can study Hebrew,
who can learn Jewish history, we
ignore all this and forfeit our re-
ligious and cultural heritage.

awake nights thinking of gim-
micks to attract people to adult

-Menaced on
Berlin Flights

BERLIN, April 26 (AP) So
Wet planes approached two
United States helicopters over
Berlin today in an apparent
effort to discourage their rou-
tine flights.
The United States Army said
one Of the helicopters was over
East Berlin and the other was
flying along the border and re-
garded as over West Berlin.
United States sources said
the Soviet planes, one described
as a Jet fighter. came within
500 yards of the helicopters.
Both Land Unharmed
The helicopters landed un-
harmed in West Berlin after
flights lasting about 40 minutes.
The helicopters were on rou-
tine flights in the Berlin con-
troll zone. which stretches over
both parts of the city.
The Soviets have objected re-
peatedly to American helicopter
flights over East Berlin, but
the Western allies contend that
they have a right to fly any,
wher in the control zone. The
zone covers a circle of 80 miles
radius from the center Of the
city.
August Threats Recalled
Last August the Russians
threatened to shoot down an
American helicopter which took
off on a routine flight over
the zone after filing a flight
plan with the Berlin air safety
center. The center is admin
istered by all four occupation
powers-the United States, the
Soviet Union, Britain and
France.
The Russians did not carry
out their threat, and the
United States commandant in
Berlin protested to the Soviet
commandant.
