Former President Herbert Hoover received tonight the Humanitarian Award of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America at the tenth anniversary dinner of the Seminary’s Universal Brotherhood Movement. Mr. Hoover was cited for his “dedication to the cause of brotherhood and man’s spiritual and physical welfare.”
H.F.
