Arthur H. Sulzberger, son-in-law of Adolph S. Ochs and vice-president of the New York Times Publishing Company, sailed last night on the S. S. Bremen for a six weeks trip abroad.

Mr. Sulzberger will visit Berlin and Warsaw and intends to proceed to Russia.

On the same steamer, Samuel C. Lamport, cotton merchant and Jewish communal leader, sailed. Harold Spielberg, president of the Equitable Assurance Corporation, and Samuel L. Lubell left together with him.

Mr. Lamport will proceed to Zurich to attend the sessions of the Zionist Congress and of the Jewish Agency meeting. From Switzerland he will proceed to Russia, where he intends to survey the possibilities of extending the export of American textile products to Russia. The United States Department of Commerce views with interest Mr. Lamport’s mission, which may result in securing for the American textile industry a larger share of Russian trade.

Before sailing, Mr. Lamport stated that in the course of his conversations with Soviet leaders he plans to touch on the question of the persecution of Zionists and the Hebrew language in the Soviet Union and urge a modification of the existing harsh Soviet policy.
