t‘
President Betavi of Israel Welcomes
Mrs. Sehaver's Album. ‘Ani

Mrs. Emilia Schaver, who re-
turned three weeks ago from a
several weeks' stay in Israel,
during which she appeared at
numerous concerts in settle-
ments throughout the land and
ill the country's major cities,
this week received the following
letter from Dorith Rosen, secre-
tary to President Ben-Zvi of Is-
rael:
"The President of the State
Itzhak Ben-Zvi,
of lsra.ei, Tr.
has asked me to express his
thanks and appreciation for
your record album of your
beautiful songs, `Ani Maamin:
"The President and his wife
will be happy to listen to your
singing in their leisure hours."
Upon her return from Israel,
Mrs. Schaver pointed out that
in Israel there is a mounting
interest; in music. Referring to
her several previous visits in Is-
ra.el, Mrs, Schaver said that
Dever before were all of the
country's residents, young and
old, newcomers and natives, as
keenly interested . in music, in
new songs, in compositions by
Israelis as well as others.
Together with her husband,
Morris Schaver, one of the lead-
ing Labor Zionists in America,
Mrs. Schaver makes frequent
visits to Israel. On her present
tour she appeared in --12 major
concerts, as soloist, and sang

-

,

also over the Israel Radio "Kol
Israel," as well as the overseas
programs "Kol LaG'olah."
One of her special appear-
ances was before the "Anauhut
Ovdot," a section of Moatzot
Ha.poalot — the Israel coun-
terpart of the Pioneer Women
of America, in the imposing
H&himah Theater in Tel Aviv.
During her stay in Israel,
.Mrs, Schaver prepared a series
of new records. Her record-
ings of new Israel • songs will
shortly be prepared for distri-
bution in this country.
Mrs. Schaver believes that
there is a strong . tendency in
Israel to link the past with the
present and to retain interests
in Jewries outside the country.
At a reception in her honor
at the home of President and
Mrs. Ben-Zvi, the President's
wife advanced the suggestion
for the showing of "shorts" as
song programs in movie theat-
ers, to encourage the advance-
ment of Jewish music. Mrs.
Ben-Zvi urged that the first in
the series of songs to be used
in such programs should be
Mrs. Schaver's collected and
recorded songs.
Mr. Schaver was with Mrs.
Schaver during a portion of her
visit in Israel. Their son Isaac
accompanied lqrs, Schaver on
her entire tour.

Watkins Urges President
To Keep immigration Law

WASHINGTON, (JTA) —Presi-
dent Eisenhower was urged by
Sen. Arthur V. Watkins, chair-
man of the joint Congressional
Immigration Committee, to seek
no changes in the present immi-
gration law. The efforts of Sen-
ator Lehman and others to se-
cure changes in the McCarran-
Walter Act were termed by Sen.
Watkins "1 a. rgely political"
moves.
Sen. Watkins wrote that he
believes the special quota immi-
gration act passed at this year's
session to admit 214,000 Euro-
pean refugees and others "takes
care of population pressure
areas as far as we probably can
go in the next three years."

Several German States Reject
Neo-Nazi Parties on Ballots

FRANK.FTJRT, (JTA) — In the
Sept. 6 elections for the Bundes-
tag, the Lower House of the
West German Parliament. 11
parties will appear on the ballot.
Seven are listed on the ballots
of all nine states which com-
pose West Germany.
Several of the states have re-
jected the electoral lists of
openly neo-Nazis parties for such
technical. reasons as an insuf-
ficient number of signatures by
legal- residents on the nominat-
ing petitions.
Nonetheless, the neo-Nazi Na-
tionalist Rally will appear on
the ballot in Bavaria and Schle-
swig-Holstein, while the German
Reich Party will appear on six
state ballots.
Recently two top candidates
of the German Reich Party,
former Goebbels aide Werner
Naumann and Hans Ulrich
Rudel, were struck off the bal-
lots by government action.
While the Nationalist Rally
and German Reich Party are
unabashedly pro-Nazi, i n d i v
dual ex-Nazis appear on many
other party tickets. In the
Lower Saxon y constituency
where Naumann was running,
the candidate of the Free
Democratic Party is a one-time
high-ranking officer of the So-
cial Reich Party, which was out-
lawed last year because of its
openly Nazi character.
h e B.H.D. Refugee Party,
German. Party, Bavarian Party,
Free Democratic Party, Neu-
tralist All - German Pe opl e's

Party and the Christian Demo-
cratic Union, in that order, are
the worst offenders in seeking
to capture the neo-Nazi vote by
naming Nazi candidates. How-
ever, no party is entirely free
of this tendency.
