Hatikvah

In checking through all the known U.S. copyrights of "Hatikvah" from
1902-1950, no music composer credit was ever registered for the anthem (music
source is usually listed  simply as "folk melody") and even text credit to
Naftule Herz Imber is infrequent. Reuven Kosakoff seems to have nothing to do
with its compostion.
