A party of 120 physicians arrived here from Europe today for the opening of the First World Congress of Jewish Physicians tomorrow, delayed from Tuesday presumably because of this week’s racial rioting.
The opening will be attended by Dr. Chaim Weizmann, president of the Jewish Agency for Palestine. Afterward the congress will meet in Jerusalem as the guest of the Agency, the Jewish National Fund, the Palestine Foundation Fund and the Hebrew University.
Dr. Henry Keller, of New York, who is director of a clinic for crippled children of Jerusalem, will represent American Jewish doctors.
