Support by American Zionists of the world-wide monverment for the establishment in Palestine of a new colony to bear the name of Menahem Ussishkin, in tribute to the veteran Zionist leader on the occasion of his seventieth birthday, is urged in appeals issued by the executive of the World Zionist Organization and Dr. Chaim Weizmann.
The appeals, transmitted by cable to Dr. Israel Goldstein president of the Jewish National Fund of America, came in the form of greetings to the national coonference of Zionist groups and parties which will be held under the auspices of the Fund this Sunday at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel, Philadelphia.
The conference, which will be attended by more than 1,000 delegates and presided over by Dr. Goldstein, will be devoted principally to the Unssishkin project, initiated last summer in a resolution unanimously adopted by the World zionist Congress in Prague. Sunday’s conference will adopt plans for inaugurating the effort in this country.
Dr. Weizmann’s message paid high tribute to Ussishkin, saying in part:
“If ever a man was entitled to look back with satisfaction on a straight course, long and undeviatingly pursued towards a single aim, that man is Menahem Ussishkin; it is our high privelege now to join in offerinig him the only appropriate token of our appreciation–the establishment in Eretz Israel of a Jewish settlement to be honoured by bearing his name.”

PROGNOSTICATOR WON’T TELL HITLER LIFE SPAN–RETURNING TO REICH
Dr. Felix Bernstein, German mathematician, now visiting professor of mathematics at Columbia University, can tell just how long one will live by measuring the hardness of the eye lens.
He will not, however, gauge the length of Hitler’s life.
When asked over the telephone yesterday whether or not he would give an approximation of the number of years yet ahead of Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, et al., the good doctor said he would not, but he asked if there was not some other phase of his work that would be of interest.
“Can you tell whether or not there are any essential differences between Aryans and Jews?” he was asked. He refused this too.
He is visiting here and may return to Germany.
