TALLEST MAN IN ISRAEL
Fingerprint Scientist Visits UN
by David Horowitz
NEW YORK, (AJP) — Dr. Leo
Sachs, the young Israeli scientist
of the Weizmann Institute who re
cently surprised the world by re
vealing that a fingerprint study
had convinced him and his co
worker Dr. M. Bat Miriam of the
Israeli Institute for Biological Re
search that Jews throughout the
world are members of an ancient
Mediterranean race possessing
common genetic factors, was the
guest of this writer at the UN
just before he flew to Japan to
deliver several lectures on his
discoveries. Dr. Sachs had come
to New York from Copenhagen
in which city he first announced
the Israeli finding before the In
ternational Congress of Human
Genetics.
During the exclusive interview
in the UN Delegates dining room,
the 6-foot 8 inches tall scientist
—who was born in Germany but
studied in England — disclosed
that the new findings on the se
crets of fingerprints have opened

an entirely new vista for future
study of human populations and
evolution. The genetic history of
the Jews (and that of related
peoples) — whose fingerprints,
namely, the unique pattern of
the whorls, arches and loops,
point to an uncanny similarity—
testify to an absolute relation
ship despite thousands of years of
physical separation, Dr. Sachs
emphasized.
The Israeli wizard made it clear
that the present studies consti
tute only a first phase to a much
wider study which will include
deeper investigation into the
question of blood groups. He is
convinced that hitherto unknown
factors concerning the nature of
man and life which have baffled
scientists will come to light
through further research on the
secret of blood. Dr. Sachs indi
cated that as soon as funds be
come available to the Weizmann
Institute, he and his associates
plan to proceed with the research
on the blood groups.
During the interview the ami
able professor took objection to
the statements made by certain
Reform rabbis who challenged
his genetic thesis as being con
trary to the facts of the Bible.
He said that science does not lie.
The facts have shown, he empha
sized, that there is something de-
fintely unique about the Jews
and related peoples as far as his
fingerprint studies have borne out.
There was, he added, an unmis
takable “Mediterranean compo
nent” in the eight population
samples studied and its character
was unlike the prints of non-Jew-
ish people among whom the Jews
have been living for centuries.
When the writer cited from the
Bible the following passage from
Daniel chapter 2, verses 43-44,
Dr. Sachs indicate4 satisfaction
that contrary to the view of some
rabbis the Bible does indeed
confirm some phases of his dis
covery:
“And whereas thou sawest the
iron mixed with miry clay, they
(Israel) shall mingle themselves
with the seed of men, but they
shall not cleave one to another
even as iron doth not mingle with
clay.”
Dr. Sachs, who arrived in Eng
land the year Hitler came to
power as a lad of ten and who
received his PH.D. there, make
his home in Rehovoth. Married
to a Sabra, Rachel Eliash, they
have three children, Shulamit-
Ruth, 4, Yehudit-Esther, 2, and
Mordecai, 5 months old.

Eastan Rev.
Lauds Israel
After Visit
EASTAN, Pa., (JTA — “It
would take a thousand years for
the Christian world to repay the
Jewish people for the crimes com-
mited against them in the name
of Christ.” Rev. George A. Creitz,
Minister of the First Reform
Church declared here upon his
return from an overseas tour
which included a visit to Israel.
Rev. Creitz was impressed by
the absence of hate in Israel to
wards the Arabs, noting, on the
otherhand, that the airport in
Cairo, in which he had to stop
while in transit, displayed all
sorts of hate literature against
the Israelis. “It is difficult to un
derstand how any Christian, par
ticularly C h r i s ti a n ministers,
could be anything but pro-Israel,”
he emphasized, scoring the coun
tries of the world which stood by
during the Hitler holocaust dur
ing which six million Jews per
ished.
UJA to Send 80
On Study Mission
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
United Jewish Appeal has an
nounced the formation of an over
seas study mission made up of
80 prominent communal and phil-
anthorpic leaders who will leave
New York for a three-week fact
finding visit to Jewish refugee
centers in Europe and Israel. The
80-member mission will make its
study in preparation for the
UJA must meet next year.
The mission’s findings, Mr.
Rosenwald noted, will be put be
fore the UJA’s annual national
conference in New York at the
end of November. Its recommen
dations, he added, will have im
portant bearing in arriving at
the Appeal’s 1957 fun d-raising
goals.
by Rinna Grossman
JERUSALEM, (AJP) — This
week, for a change, I should like
to tell you about two dreams that
were dreamt in Israel last week.
They were quite private dreams.
One belonged to a small boy in
Tel Aviv; the other was the per
sonal property of a young lady
in Haifa. The really amazing
thing about both these dreams is
that, like a goodly number of
those which are dreamt in that
particular country, they seemed
likely to come true and therefore
are well worth telling you about.
The small boy called Uzi dream
ed his dream on one of those
hot September nights \yhich all
veteran Tel Avivians live through
every autumn in the brief sea
son of the hot winds known as
the sharaws. Uzi had been in bed
for hours, tossing and turning,
sleeping for a while and dream
ing a while. Like rather small
boys everywhere, Uzi, ipo, was
dreaming about cowboys, about
white-faced cattle and bucking
broncos. He knew all about that
distant, legendary Wild West far
away in America, and on this
night, he saw himself, glorious
to behold, in a wide-brimmed
Stetson, gleaming spurs and high
Western boots, shouting the fine,
colorful commands of the cor
ral. In Hebrew, to be sure, but
why not, said Uzi to himself, in
his dream. Why shouldn’t we
have our own cowboys, riding
somewhere in Galilee, performing
miracles with the spinning rope.
And, as a matter of fact, though
Uzi hadn’t heard about it yet,
there were going to be cowboys
in Israel, real, professional, root
in’, tootin’ cowboys.
In fact, on the cattle farm of
Karet Deshah, near Tabha, a
school has been opened for cow
boys — the first of its kind in
the Middle East. It will be man
aged by a real, live veteran cow-
puncher from Texas. Two courses
will be given every six months.
And fifteen cattlemen, from va
rious settlements, have already
enrolled; so has a young girl,
w h ic h is something even Uzi
didn’t dream ofl
The other dream belonged to a
pretty young secretary who lived
in Haifa. She worked at one end
of the city and lived in another
and every morning, rain or shine,
like all the other people in Haifa,
she wrestled with the problem
of increasingly inadequate muni
cipal transportation. The busses,
many of which were obsolete and
slow, creaked their way up and
down the Carmel. Often she had
to wait a long time for her bus
and one night, after she had
gone to the movies, she dreamt
a dream about a subway — a
real, speedy subway like the ones
in Manhattan. She had never
been to America either, but she
knew all about subways and how
people journeyed from one end
of New York to the other in
just a few minutes. Supposing,
she dreamt, there was a subway
just like that in Haifa, with chew
ing gum machines and cold drink
dispensers and a jostling, busy
crowd.
Well, in something over a year,
that is exactly how our friend
will go to work, though that night
in Haifa, she had no idea her
dream would come true. But a
subway is being built right in
her own home town, the first in
the entire Middle East. And that’s
not all. Another project, not yet
underway, concerns the construc
tion of an elevated train to nm
from the outskirts of Haifa to its
industrial center.
Nothing stands still in Israel
and tomorrow is very much a na
tional preoccupation in a land
where anyone’s dream has a good
chance of materializing.
\57 Fords Represent Biggest Change
In Company History, Performance Tops
DEARBORN, Mich. — For the
first time in its 53-year history,
Ford Motor Co., will produce two
sizes of Ford cars, the company
announced Wednesday. The 19 new
models unveiled by Ford dealers
last week has the highest per
formance engines ever offered in
the low price field.
R. S. McNamara, Ford Motor
Co. vice president and Ford Di
vision general manager, said the
1957 Fords “represent the biggest
change in the modern history of
the Ford car.”
The new Ford line divides into
two basic sizes, Fairlane and Cus
tom, plus the station wagon se
ries, each with its own body and
chassis. In addition, the Fairlane
series has been expanded to of
fer “Fairlane 500” models, which
have extra luxury features.
The 1957 Fairlane and Fairlane
500 sedans are nine inches longer
and foui^ inches lower than last
year’s comparable models. Custom
and Custom 33 sedans are more
than three inches longer and
nearly three and one-half inch
es lower than the 1956 models.
Station wagons are three and one-
half inches longer. Fairlanes and
Fairlane 500’s are built on a 118-
inch wheelbase. Station wagons,
Custom and Custom 300’s have a
116-inch wheelbase.
There has been no sacrifice of
headroom inside the car, in spite
of their reduced height. The new
frame extends to the sides of the
car, and this permits the floor to
be lowered inside the frame rails.
The design and styling are new
from the ground up. Every di
mension is changed. Riding ease
has been greatly improved by
using a longer, wider frame with
lower pressure tires on wider
treads, and employing redesigned
ball-joint suspension in front and
outboard-mounted longer leaf
springs in back. Because there is
more spring length ahead of the
rear axle, front end dip on quick
stops is checked better than ever
before.
For the first time, a high per
formance V-8 engine is available
as an optional power plant on all
Ford cars. The engine, called the
Thunderbird Special, develops 245
horsepower, and is equipped with
a four-barrel low silhouette car
buretor.
Standard engine for the Fair
lane and station wagon series is
the 212 h.p. Thunderbird V-8. A
190 h.p. V-8 is standard for the
Custom and Custom 300 series.
Both have two-barrel carbure
tors. In addition, the 144 h.p. Mi
leage Maker six is available on
all models. All engines can be
ordered with standard, overdrive
or Fordomatic transmissions.
Ford’s new styling starts with
wide hooded headlights and a for
ward slanting grille, and includes
streamlined wheel openings, a
windshield that wraps further
around the sides for better visibil
ity, distinctive fins at the rear,
and contoured sides that give the
car a sculptured look.
Special side mouldings and or
namentation distinguish each of
Ford’s five series, which are avail
able in 19 two-tone paint combi
nations or 12 solid colors. Inside,
upholstery is color-matched to the
body’s paint.
