Draft Forces Closing of Israel Training Camps

NEW YORK — (AJP) — The
farm gates of one of America's
principal training camps for
pioneers to Israel closed this
week and a second, one of the
oldest in the country, is sched-
uled to cease operations in the
next several weeks.
The expanding draft of young
men into the armed forces com-
bined with the shifting empha-
sis in techniques by two of the
pioneer groups, Habonim, Labor
Zionists, and Plugat Aliyah,
General Zionist Chalutz Move-
ment, were cited as factors in
the discontinuation of the train-
ing camps. Although haschara
(training) at the two camps has
been or will shortly be discon-
tinued, neither of the sites will
be sold, Hechalutz, the coordin-
ating body for pioneer groups,
disclosed.

CARD OF THANKS
The family of the late Itzak
Latt wishes to thank its rela-
tives and friends for the many
kindnesses , extended during its
recent bereavement.

The closing of the two camps
—the Creamridge, N. J., chava.
of Habonim and the Wappinger
Falls; N.Y., farm of Plugah
Aliyah — leaves four training
farms operating in the United
States and one in Canada. Six
months ago, Hechalutz closed
another Chava, near Los An-
geles. Spokesmen said the
California farm failed to attract
sufficiently large numbers of po-
tential pioneers.

About Columnists

Westbrook Pegler may not like Phis but a recent poll shows
that .America's top columnists are Jews. One of the most popular
in the field was Billy Rose who has retired because of illness. Rose
was an East Side product, born Rosenberg. The success of his
column lay in its story-telling effects. Rose was and still is a
great story teller. He was said to have had an income of over
$175,000 from his coluinn, which appeared in 400 dailies and 200
weeklies . . . The richest of all columnists is Walter Winchell,
said to be the son of a Jewish cantor. He is considered not only
a fast talker but a fast thinker as well. There is a story that the
late F.D.R. once invited Winchell to the White House for a five-
minute talk. Newspapermen outside were waiting for Walter to
tell them what the President said. Time passed and there was no
Walter. The men grew impatient, certain. that Walter had left
through the back door. After three-quarters of an hour he emerg-
ed silent but smiling. He refused to talk to the newsmen. Later,
when newspapermen asked F.D.R. why he detained Winchell so
long, the President laughingly replied that Winchell talked so long
and fast that he had no chance to even exchange proper greet-
ings, let alone say a few words. Walter too, is a product of
the East Side .. . The youngest and one of the most successful
Jewish columnists is Leonard Lyons who pens his stuff under the
title Lyon's Den. Incidentally, it was Walter Winchell who sug-
gested the title. Lyons' rise to columnistic fame was sensational.
Only in 1934 he was a $5-a-week man on the New York Post, and
even that job was tottering. This product of the East Side came
of a family where Yiddish was spoken. His mother first learned
English when his columns began attracting attention and she was
the proudest mother in the world when she could translate the
stories of her illustrious son to the Yiddish-speaking neighbors.
Lyons was born Lipshitz . . . The oldest of the Jewish columnists
is Walter Lippman. His column is of a serious nature. He is
famed for ability to analyze and interpret world-wide political
events. He is more the professor and lecturer than the. columnist.
His language is heavy and burdensome but his analysis of situa-
tions is often weighed carefully in the highest circles. However,
he has not been too popular a figure with regards to Jewish
matters.

works—and it's a lot easier
with the help of a new Electric
Range and all its modern im-

your standing over a stove, the

From Many Corners

American distributors of movies in Israel are quite happy
these days. A survey of cinemas in a number of key cities shows
that American pictures are the most popular in Israel. In 1950
U.S. companies obtained 73.3% of all the playing time in the
country. Other countries in the order of importance were Great
Britain 6.3%, Russia 4.3%, Yiddish pictures 4.2%, France 4%,
„, , or Italy 2.8%, Hungary 1.3% and Israel 1%. Red Shoes, Eagle-,Lion
production, was the biggest box office attraction in Israel in 1950
with a 12-week run at top attendance. The next most successful
picture was Johnny Belinda, Warner Bros., with a run of eleven
weeks in Tel Aviv.
The liberality of Jewish philanthropic giving is reflected in a
recent survey by the Greater New York Fund. In 1950 the Feder-
ation of Jewish Philanthropies in New York raised $11,105,000, or
more than twice as much as the amount raised by the Catholic
Charities and the Federation of Protestant Welfare. The Catho-
lic group raised $4,780,000 and the Protestants $3,685,000.

Note on a Controversy

-

4.0

mustard

.

At a recent literary event in London, the noted poet T. S. Eliot
denied he was an anti-Semite. This confession sounds out' of
tune to readers of his "Wasteland." The poet now claims -he did
not mean to say what the words conveyed. If so, Eliot is a poor
artist by all standards. If he wants to make amends for his sins ,
he ought to be courageous enough to disown that work. Otherwise
he must, •remain in our books, what he is — a spiritual , affinity of
the madman Ezra Found.
