youngster's rendition of two
popular ballads, and then dra-
matically interrupted after a
third song, "Israel," had in-
spired the audience.
On the spot, on-stage, he of-
fered Eddie a place in the tour-
ing Cantor troupe.
Fisher made good. Cantor kept
him on a three-month tour, re-
signed him for his current jun-
ket, and took him to Victor rec-
ords. The result—the release of
Eddie Fisher's first two records
("My Bolero"—"Foolish Tears"
and "Sorry" "Y est er day's
Rose") last month.
Cantor predicts that the
youngster will be the nation's
most important singer of popu-
lar tunes in a year. Trade press
reviewers support him.

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Declaring
that the existence of various
parties within the Zionist move-
ment is unjustified outside the
borders of Israel and that their
continuation "constitutes dis-
aster" for the Jews in Israel and
in other countries, Daniel
Frisch, president of the Zionist
Organization of America, urged
the liquidation of conflicting
groups within the overall Zion-
ist movement in countries out-
side of Israel and the mobiliza-
tion of all forces within the
movement for the benefit of the
Jewish state.
Sees Congress Problem
Frisch stated that liquidation
of the various parties compris-
ing the world Zionist Organiza-
tion will be the principal prob-
lem confronting the World
Zionist Congress when it meets
in Jerusalem this summer. He
rejected the need for elections
in America to the Congress,
contending that "electioneering
battles," entailing the sale of
party "Shekolim," could jeopar-
dize the success of the United
Jewish Appeal campaign. He
urged an agreement among all
parties in the U.S. for the selec-
tion of delegates to the Con-
gress.
The Zionist Organization of
America has decided to trans-
fer to Israel all Hechalutz
training camps in the United
States, Frisch reported. He also
stated that American General
Zionists will participate in the
convention of the World Con-
feration of General Zionists,
scheduled to be held in Israel
in April, providing that a new
Confederation executive is
elected and that the conflict
between the Progessive and
regular General Zionists is
"curbed to its lowest possible
level."
Doesn't Want Reelection
In a cable from Tel Aviv,
New York Times correspondent
Gene Currivan quoted Frisch as
saying that he would not ac-
cept another term of office un-
less contending parties within
the organization subordinated
their differences to the coin•
mon goal.
Asked by the New York
Times to comment on Frisch's
statement, Dr. Abba Hillel Sil-
ver stated at his home in Cleve-
land: "I don't know what he
is talking about.'
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, who
preceded Frisch as president of
the ZOA, told the New York
Times that there was no evi-
dence of any recurrence of any
conict in the Zionist ranks in
this country.
However, a warning that the
World Zionist Movement is un-
dergoing a serious crisis because
of a lack of definition of func-
tion between the Zionist move-
ment outside Israel and the Is-
rael Government was sounded
by Dr. Neumann at a gathering
in New York City arranged by
the five Metropolitan Regions of
the ZOA, Dr. Neumann also
called for unity within the
movement by elimination of the
present party system in all
countries outside of Israel. He
asserted that the "interplay of
party interests" has also com-
plicated to a tragic degree the
relations between the Govern-
ment of Israel and the Zionist
movement.
