Miss Doris May, the private secretary of the late Dr. Chaim Weizmann for more than 30 years, died in Sussex Nov. 14 at the age of 69. Miss May joined Dr. Weizmann’s staff shortly after the Balfour Declaration was issued in November, 1917 and retired in May, 1948, when Israel proclaimed its Independence and Dr. Weizmann became its first President. Miss May worked with Dr. Weizmann when he wrote his autobiography, “Trial and Error” and her help was acknowledged in the book.
