Mordecai Eliash
Israel Minister
To England Dies

By NATHAN ZIPRIN

(Copyright, 1950, Seven Arts Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

Sheaves

John Hersey's magnificent story of thp Warsaw Ghetto, "The
Wall," has been sold to a Hollywood film production . . . The
big producers who turned the book down before it was published
are having second thoughts now that it has been so widely ac-
claimed . . . But their offers came too late . . . An independent
group reportedly got in first.
A fine innovation has been introduced by the Bnai Brith lodge
at Canton, Ohio ... Once a year the lodge is to hold its meetings
in Yiddish . . . Members who don't speak Yiddish will have to sit
through the meetings in silence.
Martin Cohen, producer of the Yiddish-English film Catskill
Honeymoon," is a former fight promoter.
Mane-Katz, the world famous Jewish painter who makes his
home in Paris, is currently exhibiting at the George Binet Gallery
in New York . . • The artist tells that some years back he met a
Palestine-bound Polish Jew in Paris . . . When it developed in
the course of conversation that the Jew lacked the money for
the long trip Mane-Katz offered him one of his paintings with
the assurance it would bring in at least 50 British pounds on sale
. . . The Jew examined the painting, looked quizically at the artist
and then blurted out "let me have a pound in cash and you can
have the rest of the profit when you sell the picture."
The revolt of the Jews in the Warsaw Gretto in 1943 will
remain as one of the greatest epics in the annals of history .. .
One of the finest books dealing with that fight for survival against
insurmountable odds is Leo M. Schwart's "The Root and the
Bough" published by Rinehart and Company . . . The- stories are
told by survivors . . . The survival theme, but on another plane, is
the subject of a recently published volume• of essays by Trude
Weiss-Rosmarin, put out by the PhiloSophical Library . . . The
author, a woman of rare erudition whose name is widely known
throughout the country as writer and lecturer, dwells on the tre-
mendous changes in Jewish life in the past decade and analyzes
the factors essential to Jewish survival.

Dr. Mordetai Eliash, 57, vet-
eran Zionist and first Israel
Minister to the Court of St.
James, died of a heart attack
in London March 11.
Dr. Eliash had been preparing
to return to Israel for his first
visit since his appointment to
the London post .last April.
Premier David Ben-Gurion
Tuesday interrupted his vaca-
tion to participate in the funeral
of Dr. Eliash.
The funeral procession started
from the Jewish Agency prem-
ises in Jerusalem and included
the entire consular corps. Meth-r
bers of the cabinet, of the Jew-
ish Agency executive, and of
Israel's Supreme Court were
among the pallbearers.
Eulogies were delivered by
Foreign Minister Moshe Sharrett
and Chief Rabbi Ben Zion Uziel.
Burial took place at the San-
hedria Cemetery.
Messages of condolence pour-
ed into the Foreign Ministry of-
fices in Tel Aviv from diplomatic
officials and Jewish leaders.
President Chaim Weizmann, in
a telegram to Sharett, said that
Israel has "lost an outstanding'
diplomat in an important post." Judge Stern, Strauss

`Variety' Publisher Sid
Silverman Dead at 52

Sid Silverman, 52, publisher
of the theatrical publications
"Variety" and the "The Daily
Variety," died March 10 in New
York after a long illness.
Mr. Silverman had begun his
journalistic career at the age of
7, when his father, Sime Silver-
man, founder of the publica-
tions, printed his comments on
vaudeville shows. Later in life he
learned of his owning 50 per
cent of all "Variety" stock by
reading it in a fillet buried in
the publication.
He is survived by a son, Syd,
and his mother, Mrs. Harriet F.
Silverman.
