Most remarkable last week was the escape from death, at least temporarily, of Professor Heinrich (born Chaim) Neumann, greatest ear & throat specialist in Europe. This merry Orthodox Jew, who keeps a kosher home and prays each morning in phylacteries and sacred shawl, is the doctor & friend of England's George VI and Duke of Windsor, Spain's Alphonso, Rumania's Carol, Greece's George, Austria's late Emperor Charles.

With Laborite and Liberal Zionists in the saddle, the Congress elected as its president goateed Dr. Chaim Weizmann, British industrial chemist who was ousted by extreme Right Wingers four years ago (TIME, July 27, 1931). Pleased with this year's record-breaking influx of 60,000 Jews into Palestine, and with the homeland's current business boom, the Zionists clamored for more immigrants, pondered how to head off Great Britain's plan to convene a Palestine Legislature in which...
