Investigate Report Ancient
Cemetery Was Leveled by Reds

ELIZABETH, N. J. (JTA)
 A leading American Orthodox
rabbi reported that, at the re-
quest of the head of the Moscow
Jewish community, the Soviet
Ministry of Culture had sent a
special commission to Radin,
near Vilna, to investigate a re-
port that the ancient Jewish
Cemetery there had been
levelled.
The Radin cemetery included
the grave of the Chofetz Chaim,
regarded as the greatest Tal-
mudic scholar of modern times,
who died in 1933. Rabbi Pinhas
Teitz, a former member of the
Presidium of the Union of Ortho-
dox Rabbis of the United States
and Canada, said he had learned
about a letter from a Moscow
source, reporting a visit to the
Radin cemetery recently and a
discovery that a tractor had de-
vastated the cemetery, leaving
broken pieces of headstones and
monuments strewn over the
cemetery area.
ACCORDING TO the letter,
the grave of the Chofetz Chaim
had disappeared. The devastation
of the cemetery reportedly took
place sometime between Julv 10
and 22,Rabbi Teitz said he nad
learned.
He said he made the telephone
contact with Ephraim Kaplun,
head of the Moscow Jewish com-
munity, to inform him of the re-
ported devastation of the Radin
cemetery. Rabbi Teitz added
that, in two telephone calls to
Moscow, Kaplun informed him
that he had visited the Ministry,
of Cults and that a Moscow Uni-
versity expert on Jewish history
had explained to the Ministry the
significance for Jews of the Cho-
fetz Chaim and that Jews fre-
quently visited the grave in re-
spect to his memory.
Eban Helps Launch Worldwide
Celebration of Weizman Year
NEW YORK (JTA) The
100th anniversary of the birth
of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, the
scientist-statesman who became
the first President of the State
of Israel, was celebrated here
recently at a Weizmann Cen-
tenary Dinner, addressed by Ab-
ba Eban, former Israeli Foreign
Minister, and Nobel Laureate
Dr. Gerald M. Edelman, Vincent
Astor Distinguished Professor of
the Rockefeller University.
The dinner, at the New York
Hilton, under the auspices of the
American Committee for the
Weizmann Institute of Science,
was attended by a distinguished
national audience of 1,000.
PROCEEDS OF the dinner
will benefit research at the Weiz-
mann Institute in Rehovot. Eban,
Visiting Professor at Columbia
University's' Faculty of Inter-
national Affairs, a close associate
of Dr. Weizmann's, was speaker
on "Israel's Place in the World
Crisis."
Dr. Edelman's theme, science
and society, and Dr. Weizmann's
scientific legacy, were dis-
cussed by him under the title of
"The Two Faces of the Angel."
The development of the con-
structive resources of science, its
universality as the basis of hu-
man achievement, and the re-
creation of the Jewish State were
the twin loves of Dr. Weizmann
to which he devoted his entire
life. The future of Israel, he be-
lieved, would rest on three
pillars: science, security and
education.
THE WEIZMANN Institute of
Science was a 70th birthday gift
to Dr. Weismann, and encom-
passes the Daniel Sieff Research
Institute, established by Dr.
Weizmann in 1934 to "create
absorptive capacity for Pales-
tine."
Dr. Weizmann served as first
president of the Weizmann In-
stitute, from its founding in 1944
until his death in 1952. His home
on the Institute campus was Dr.
Weizmann's official residence aa
the President of Israel.
The recent program here was
the first in a year-long series of
programs to mark the Cente-
nary which was officially inau-
gurated in Israel Monday.

Maxim tastes like fresh
