Dr. Henry Kissinger, President Nixon’s advisor on national security affairs, has contributed toward a grove of trees in the Judaean hills in memory of a boyhood schoolmate, Kurt Fleischman, the Jewish National Fund announced yesterday.

He escaped from Germany during the Nazi era, joined the British Army and was seriously wounded during World War II.
