Secretary-General U Thant announced here today that he presented a United Nations flag to Sol M. Linowitz, of Rochester, N.Y., chairman of the board of the Xerox Corporation, for his and his firm’s “inestimable service to the cause of the United Nations.” The presentation was made last Friday.
Mr. Linowitz, who is a member of the executive board of the American Jewish Committee, was influential, as board chairman of Xerox, in the broadcast of four hour long dramatic television programs which projected to the general public the economic and social aspects of United Nations activities around the world. A special foundation established for this purpose by Mr. Linowitz had spent $4, 000, 000 on the TV project, Mr. Thant noted in honoring the industrialist.
