Ponder Hiring 34 Reich Exiles at Hebrew U.

A five-year plan providing for the employment of thirty-four exiled German professors at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem will be presented today at the annual meeting of the board of governors of the university, assembled in Zurich, Switzerland, according to an announcement by Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, president of the American Friends of the Hebrew University.

Chancellor Judah L. Magnes, who has negotiated directly with outstanding German scholars and scientists dismissed from their posts during the past year, will present his report in person. If the plan is approved the Hebrew University will have more of these German exiled scholars on its staff than are now attached to any other institution in the world.

The funds which will finance this program, Dr. Rosenbach stated, have been raised both here and abroad, and fourteen scholars have already been appointed.

The American members of the board of governors who are in attendance at the Zurich sessions include Dr. Cyrus Adler of Philadelphia, Drs. Emanuel Libman and Nathan Ratnoff of New York, Charles Rosenbloom of Pittsburgh, and Dr. Stephen S. Wise.

The European members of the board of governors, most of whom are expected to attend, include Professor Sigmund Freud of Vienna, Chief Rabbi J. H. Hertz of England, Sir Herbert Samuel and James de Rothschild of London, Senator Samuel Van der Bergh Jr. of Holland, and Dr. Chaim Weizmann of London, president of the Hebrew University, who will preside.

Important announcements also are expected concerning the choice of a site for the new University Hospital in Jerusalem, and the plans for the new department of cancer research to be established with the fund of over $200,000 supplied by an anonymous giver.
