Moses Phillip Ginzburg, founder and publisher of the Daily Jewish Courier, died yesterday morning of a heart attack. He was last month honored by a dinner celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his founding of the Courier, at which Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes was principal speaker.

Mr. Ginzburg, who was 75 last December, is survived by a widow, Feige Rachel, a son, Israel, and three married daughters. Funeral services will be held Monday afternoon. He was born in Marianpol-Suwalk, came to Chicago in 1883 and became publisher of the Courier in 1893.
