Page Six Calamity in Israel? (Continued from Page 3) hurricanes. The reports of the hurricanes, gales and winds are true; although they sound calamitous when reported abroad. However, at home things go on as usual with only a trifle discomforture. The situation in the "kibbutz movement" in Israel is like tKl«; like the hurricanes that miss they are more than a trifle disquieting. However, we do not feel that there is a disaster in sight. More than one kibbutz will have to split because of political differences of its settlers. There may be temporary setback of agricultural output. However, Israel will survive, and the kibbutz movement will survive, and as yet, we do not think disaster threatens Israel's "collectives." —E.K.M. Confirmation Services Beamed Behind "Iron Curtain" Seventy young members of Temple Israel, Lawrence, L. 1., never dreamed when they made their Confirmation addresses re cently that their speeches would be beamed across the sea via “Voice of America,” the first such use of a Confirmation service on record. Mr. Paul Nadanyi, Chief of the U. S. Information Agency, Hungarian Service, happened to attend the service, and was so im pressed with the thoughts ex pressed that he asked Rabbi Judah Cahn, spiritual leader of the Reform congregation, if he might use the speeches for “Voice of America’s” Hungarian program. The theme of the exercises was the Three Hundredth Anniversary of Jewish Settlement in America. Each Confirmand spoke on five years of the three hundred. Mr. Nadanyi wrote Rabbi Cahn, “I believe that the theme of the Con- Israeli to Design U. N. Stamps UNITED NATIONS, (JTA) For the third time since Israel was admitted to the United Nations, an Israel artist has been honored by the United Nations Postal Ad ministration. The Postal Adminis tration announced that Willi Wolf Wind, Israel artist now living in the United States, has been select ed as a member of a panel of six artists, from as many countries, chosen to design UN postage stamps to be released in 1956. One of the previous UN postal honors given to Israelis went to Mr. Wind in 1952, when he was awarded first prize in the Postal Administration’s intern a t i o n a 1 competition. Last spring, another Israeli, George Hamori of Tel Aviv, won first prize for design ing a stamp commemorating the work of the United Nations Edu cation, Scientific and Cultural Or ganization.

Mr. Nadanyi wrote that the script would be broadcast in many other European and Asiatic languages, too. „ This and That To Bernard Postal, public in formation director of the National Jewish Welfare Board, we are obliged for the following interest ing items . . .

Since World War 11, when Moscow began to eliminate Jews from its foreign service and other positions of importance, Jewish names were completely missing from the lists of Soviet delega tions abroad . . . Now, however, about two dozen such names ap pear among the Soviet scientists who have submitted important papers on nuclear energy to the Geneva parley . . . This is the first time in many years that the Moscow government has included Jews on an important delegation sent abroad . . . And no wonder . . . Glancing through the papers submitted by these Jews at Ge neva, one must come to the con clusion that Jewish scientists in Russia played a major role in ad vancing nuclear science in their country . . . Thus, it seems that without their participation in the Geneva deliberations, Moscow would not have been in a posi tion to make an impressive show ing . . . The names of the Jewish scientists were hitherto not known at all in the Jewish world . . . There is S. Z. Bokstein and S. M. Feinberg; I. I. Gurevich and P. E. Nemirovsky; F. L. Shapiro and I. M. Frank; S. V. Hirschfeld and P. I. Dolin; D. F. Zaretsky and D. E. Grodzensky . . . There are also M. I. Pevzner and P. E. Spivack; M Y. Katz and B. G. Yerusalimsy; V. A. Baum and B. V. Ershler; G. A. Badt and N. Bach; A. P. Vinogradov and A. A. Shlick . . . And a number of others . . . Their papers deal with all phases of atomic science . . . One wonders why Jewish writers and other intellectuals have “disap peared” in Russia and why all Jewish cultural institutions there have been closed down just at a time when Jewish scientists con tributed so much to the country, as has now been revealed for the first time . . . —(Boris Smolar) New Tourist Plan Offered NEW YORK lsrael Tourist Service Corporation is an Ameri can-owned corporation, with of fices in New York City and Tel Aviv, which operates a large number of tours in Israel, most of them not available from any other tourist service. The new ITS plan provides that whenever an American tourist buys one of the ITS tours through a travel agency, he receives an identical free tour for a relative or friend living in Israel. Since distribution of the bonus tour tickets will be handled by the travel agencies, Meyer Passow, General Manager of ITS, expects that the program will provide a special incentive to the travel agencies to sell more Israel tours. Passow said the “bonus pack age tour” idea was stimulated by his discovery, made during per iods of residence in Israel, that a very large number of Israelis, both native-born and immigrants, “have never visited most parts of Israel.” Charis Foundation Garments Girdles.

OUR FILM FOLKS BY LEON GUTTERMAN (Copyright, 1955, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) Biblical music themes that the world has never before heard and of which there is no historical record have become the unusual and dramatic composing assign ment of Elmer Bernstein? He is creating the musical score, includ ing chants, processionals and bal let music for Cecil B. DeMille’s dramatization of the life of Moses, “The Ten Commandments,” ex pected to be the greatest picture in size, scope and cost ever to emerge from Hollywood. Bernstein's score in “The Ten Commandments” will highlight the many spectacular moments of Biblical pageantry as well as the human story of Moses, Prince of Egypt; outlaw shepherd in Mi dian, and Voice of God who brought the Law to all mankind. Bernstein, 33 years old, from New York, a composer, conductor and concert pianist, wrote the incidental music heard throughout Mary Martin’s recent Broadway PLAN YOUR LABOR-DAY WEEKEND HOW!
