An annual prize of 100,000 pesos to be known as the Alberdi Award, to be given each year to an author of a book “on behalf of human solidarity and living together without prejudice, ” was established here today by DAIA, the central body of organized Argentine Jewry. The prize is named after Juan Batista Alberdi, an Argentinian patriot who drafted the basis of this country’s constitution 100 years ago.
