New York. N. Y.-Albert Einstein,
universally acknowledged the foremost
mathematician and physicist of our age,
arrived here on the S. S. Belgenland and
stayed for four days while the, boat was
unloading, on its way to Calofirnia. He
met and answered the questions of re
porters and allowed himself to he snapped
by photographers. He even spoke into
the microphones of the sound-news men.
He left the boat on several occasions,
mostly to see the city, one of the Metro
politan Opera performances and to have
lunch with Adolph S. Ochs, publisher of
the New York Times.
New Haven, Conn.—Yale University,
in a joint announcement with Harvard
University, states that an endowment has
been provided by the will of the late
Lady Julia Lewisohn Henry which will
furnish funds to permit four British stu
dents each year to attend Harvard and
Yale, and also to permit four American
students each year to attend Oxford or
Cambridge. The scholarships, each worth
$2,400, are intended to cement British-
American friendship. The late Lady
Julia was the widow of Sir Charles
Henry and the daughter of Leonard
Lewisohn of New York.
New York, N. Y.—Half a million Jews
in thirteen lands of Eastern Europe were
benefited by the relief operations of the
Joint Distribution Committee, according
to a report presentd by Dr. Bernard
Kahn, European director of the J. I). C.,
who is in this country for a brief visit.
His report refers to the establishment
of loan banks and co-operatives, begin
ning with 1924, with funds provided by
the J. I). C. These loans, granted mostly
in the form of fifty dollar credits, have
been important means of saving the Jew
in Eastern Europe economically, I)r.
Kahon said. During the year 1930 loans
to the extent of sixty million dollars will
have been granted, lie reported.
New York, N. Y.—Albert Einstein’s
prsence in New York provided inspira
tion for many of New York’s ministers,
Jewish and non-Jewish, to devote entire
sermons to the man and his achievements.
Dr. John Hayes Holmes declared that
Einstein is a “profound religionist,” even
though “he has no use for the traditional
theologies of the church.” Rabbi Israel
Goldstein said that “Einstein’s visit should
arouse in us not merely curiosity but a
willingness to measure ourselves by his
standards as a man, and thus to be helped
to higher spiritual attainment.” Dr. Rob
ert Norwood of St. Bartholomew’s
Church on Park Avenue characterized
Einstein as a bringer of light in a dark
ened age.
New York City—The publication of a
“Layman’s Manual of Social Service,”
has been announced by the Department of
Social Service of the National Council
of Jewish Women. Mrs. J. L. Einstein
of Cleveland, Ohio, Chairman of this
department, states that this manual will
meet the problems of small groups that
do not possess the advantage of profes
sional service in directing their social
welfare activities.
“During the War, large numbers of
volunteers were prepared for service in
behalf of the families of the men who
had enrolled in the armies of the United
States,” stated Mrs. Einstein. “The
need for the training of volunteers is as
imperative today. The large communities
have facilities for providing training
courses, hut the small community requires
our special assistance. It is these groups
that the Manual is calculated to aid.”
In addition to a comprehensive presen
tation of the present day problems of
social work, instruction is included on
supplementary reading. The plan of
meeting the needs of the small groups
and communities will be supplemented
with suggestions for inviting men and
women from neighboring iommunities
who are equipped to discuss various social
questions.
I nplacing the publication at the dis
posal of Council Sections, Mrs. Einstein
declares that the need and op|x>rtunity
for the volunteer service of members of
the National Council of Jewish Women
are greater than ever before, especially
because of the current conditions, involv
ing inadquate budgets in every field of
social work.
New York, N. Y.—That philanthropy
is not always appreciated by the reci
pient was evidenced here when Negro
physicians and surgeons in Harlem, com
posing the Manhattan Medical Society,
rejected an offer by Julius Rosenwald
to supply funds for a Negro hospital,
and at the same time attacked Rosen-
wald’s other gifts to Negroes, which total
many millions of dollars.
In a message commenting upon Rosen
wald’s offer Ferdinand O. Morton, Negro
civic service commissioner here, declared:
“Mr. Rosenwald’s projects in behalf of
the Negro, while doubtless well-intended,
have perhaps done us more harm than
good. If Mr. Rosenwald’s interests in
colored Americans is sincere it would be
a fine thing for him to prove it by ex
tending colored men and women in his
vast business organization equality of op
portunity in employment and promotion,
a thing which he does not do now.”
