Bernard S. Deutsch, President of the American Jewish Congress, will be honored this evening at a testimonial dinner at the Commodore Hotel, arranged by a non-partisan committee of his friends and admirers.
More than one thousand people will attend the dinner, it was announced by George Z. Medalie, United States Attorney, who is chairman of the Dinner Committee.
“A gratifying feature,” Mr. Medalie stated, “is the fact that this dinner will unite many factions in the community anxious to pay honor to Mr. Deutsch for his service to the bar and community of the City of New York, as well as his service to the Jewish cause.”
Speakers at the dinner will be Lord Snell of Plumstead; Mark Eisner, Chairman of the Board of Higher Education of New York; Dr. Stephen S. Wise, honorary president of the American Jewish Congress and the guest of honor. Mr. Medalie will preside.
