Israel's Anthem Is Symphony

staccato of industry on the
march—this is the music of
modern Israel in the opinion of
J. Dorsey Callaghan, noted music
critic of The Detroit Free Press.
Mr. Callaghan, who has re-
turned from a three week tour
of the Middle East in which he
visited Lebanon, Syria, Jordan,
Turkey, Greece and Israel, has
much to say about "the new
idiom in Israeli music."
Attending the season's open-
ing concert of the Israel Phil-
harmonic orchestra in Tel Aviv,,
Callaghan expressed amazement
at the program of European
music. When you learn, however,
that 90 percent of the Israel
population is now of European
ancestry he said, it no longer
seems so odd.
Everybody in Israel sings.

The children sing in Hebrew,
which is taught in the schools
as a basic language; the cab

The contrast between Israel
and Arab countries, in music
alone, Callaghan stated, is enor-
mous. While the Arabs rely on
ancient Oriental themes and tend
to corrupt themselves listening
to American jazz, the Israelis
are developing a positive ap-
proach to a music that eventual-
ly will be recognizable as "all
Israel."
If the differences were only in
music. there could still be peace
in the Middle East. The diversi-
ties of Arab and Jew, however,
are many.
"As I traveled from Ammon.
the capitol of Jordan, to Damas-
cus, in Syria, I saw the primitive
methods being used by Arab
farmers in the rich wheat belt
there. Oxen were tied to ma-
chines that were common in
Biblical days, • and the grain was
thrown into the air to separate
the wheat from the chaff."
In Israel, Callaghan continued,
while the Israelis tend to be
somewhat "tractor happy," they
are accomplishing wonders with
the land. The rows of new
planted vegetables and fruits
now stand as a testimony of
what can be done with an "im-
possible situation."
All of the success Israel is hav-
ing with growing foods on. land
thought to be valueless is mak-
ing an effect on the Arabs. Cal-
laghan thinks. The progreSs, he
adds, will be slow because of the
ultra-conservatism of the Arabs
in general.
Callaghan told of an Arab
with whom he spoke about new
methods in farming. The Arab
explained that should he make
an experiment which failed his
punishment would be starvation
during the winter months.
It is understandable how reac-
tion, as in the above instance,
would bog down progress in the'
Arab states. Meanwhile, progress
in Israel goes on according to
plan.

In talking with Emmanuel
Yalan, of the Israel Institute
of Technology at Haifa, Cal-
laghan learned of the long-
range planning in irrigation
and impounding of water.
Yalan said that there is en- .
ough water in Israel to take
care of all its needs. "But not
a drop of rain that falls must
reach the sea."

A Refreshing Drink*

He told Callaghan, too, about
a new project being undertaken
at the Yarkon River where in
Biblical times, Solomon grafted
together wooden slats for rafts
Co travel to towns nearby.
Here, a pipeline is planned to
extend 150 miles to the Negev
to make fertile and arable this
dry. desert area.
While Israel is resolving all.
these difficulties by itself; Cal-:
laghan pointed out how much
simpler it would be to irrigate
the region—if only there were
peace between Israel and its
neighbors.
Two projects — one which
would use the water of the Nile
and another along the Yarmuk
River in Jordan territory—could

Honor Two Chaplains .
For Far East Service • •

NEW Y 0 R K — Two Jewish
chaplains, who have been serv-7
ing with the U. S. Forces in - the
Far East Theater, have 'been
cited for outstanding achieve-
ments in the performance of
their duties, it was announced
by the National Jewish Welfare
Board's (JWB) Commission on
Jewish Chaplaincy.
Chaplain Murray I. Rothman,
Jewish chaplain with the First
Marine Division in Korea, has
been' commended "for the per-
formance of outstanding service
during the recent operation `Lit
tie Switch'."
Chaplain David Raab, who
served with the XVI Corps, Ja-
pan, has been awarded a Cer-
tificate of Achievement of "Mer-
itorious achievement in conne!3-
ton with chaplain activities in
the XVI Corps, Japan, from

be used to make the land use-
able and to settle hundreds of
thousands of families—both Is-
raeli and Arab—who could work
the soil.
But of peace, Callaghan is not
optimistic. Evenutally, he says
there will be peace, mainly be-
because the United States, Great
Britain and the United Nations,
will it so.
"Peace will become tangible
only when there is compromise
on both parts—when the Arabs
abandon their obstinacy and
conservatism and get ready to
sit down at a conference table.
