A newspaper essay by Rabbi Jacob S. Minkin describes the Falashas ('immigrants') of Abyssinia: their probable origin as remnants of a Jewish army that fled into the Abyssinian mountains after a defeat and intermarried with the natives; their dark skin but distinct Hebrew facial and national characteristics; their observance of the five books of Moses, Sabbath, Passover, Pentecost and the high holidays despite doctrinal divergence from orthodox Judaism; their curious marriage custom of the eldest son marrying the eldest daughter; and their status as a people apart, regarded as 'different' by other subjects of the King of Abyssinia. The same newspaper page carries unrelated items on John D. Rockefeller Jr.'s $2,000,000 gift for a Palestine archaeology museum, an immigration-and-crime debate between Rep. Albert Johnson and Rep. Emanuel Celler, and Armistice Day observances. General ethnographic background for the Abdullah research strand; names no individual traveller and makes no connection to Neville Goddard or Abda'llah Guillaume.
