Governor Lehman will be the guest of honor and principal speaker at memorial services for Louis Marshall, leader of American Jewry, and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Marshall, at the local Jewish Communal Center Thursday night.
The Governor is scheduled to be in Syracuse Thursday to speak at a rally in connection with his campaign for re-election. He decided to take the opportunity to pay tribute to the memory of Marshall, who was a friend.
The services, which are observed annually, will mark the official opening of the Center for the season. Other speakers will include Stewart F. Hacock, prominent Syracuse attorney, a non-Jew, and Warren Winkelstein, president of the Center.
