With the completion of the organization of the South African Senate today, it developed that only one Jew will serve on that body, instead of two in the previous Senate. The Jewish Senator is Dr. E. B. Woolf, of the United Party.
The Cenate is composed of 44 members chosen by the electoral college and 10 nominated by the President. In his list, the President nominated not a single Jew. Dr. Woolf had been a member of the previous Senate and was reelected. The other Jewish member of the former Senate was Major A. Z. Berman.
