The art collection of Joseph Hirshhorn, estimated to be worth between $25, 000, 000 and $50, 000, 000, was accepted yesterday by President Johnson in behalf of the American people.
At a White House Rose Garden ceremony, the President announced he was sending a bill to Congress to authorize the Smithsonian Institute to build a gallery to be known as the Joseph Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. The gift of the Latvian-born Jewish financier to the nation consists of more than 1, 500 pieces of sculpture and more than 4, 800 paintings and drawings.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
