Establishment of a new $5,000,000 medical school in New York, particularly designed for “victims of un-American racial prejudice,” is under consideration by a committee of citizens to aid 400 medical students whose training in Scotland was interrupted by the war, it was revealed yesterday by Max D. Steuer, the attorney, addressing a Thanksgiving ceremony at Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun which marked the dedication of a Scroll of the Law saved from a destroyed Vienna synagogue.
