More than 1,000 guests, including distinguished scientists, the Swedish Ambassador, Lord Samuel, Prof. Norman Bentwich and Neville Laski, attended a reception here last night for refugee scholars and scientists. Sir William Bragg, president of the Royal Society, welcomed the refugees and the Archbishop of York, president of the Society for the Protection of Science and Learning, replied in their behalf. Sir William paid tribute to the society for its help to the refugees, declaring it had added to Britain many men whose value would be felt in the future.
