Kol Israel. Children's Director
Here for Point Four Study Tour
Danny Raskin's
the variety of programs is greater
here, but that "some of the com-
mercial programs are pretty bad."
On the other hand, she felt most
of the sustaining programs were
good.
Kol Israel, sponsored by the
Israel government, is commerci-
ally free, and is supported only
by small fees paid by radio own-
ers, in addition to a government
subsidy, Miss Herrmann said.
A fairly high proportion of Is-
raelis own radios, in comparison
to other countries in the area
and even in Europe, Miss Herr-
mann added. She guessed there
were better than a quarter of a
million owners, in a population
of about 1,500,000.
Although she seemed enthusi-
astic about the "$64,000 Ques-
tion," the popular new TV pro-
gram, Miss Herrmann thought it
would go over poorly in Israel. "It
would not be ethical," she said;
"to give away that amount of
money while most people had
very little. And besides, you
couldn't find anyone in Israel
with that kind of money to give
away."
Besides Kol Israel, there are
two other radio outlets in the
Jewish state—Voice of Zion, the
Jewish Agency station which is
heard mostly outside of Israel,
and the Army radio station.
The principal programs are
in Hebrew, but there also 10
language broadcasts, from Per-
sian and Arabic to English and
French. _Newscasts are given
daily in French and English.

While attending a summer
course at the University of Wis-
consin, she learned a great deal
about writing and content, Miss
Herrmann says. This also she

plans to use when she returns.
But all of this is in radio, for
television in Israel is a long way
off.
While radio is becoming a
booming operation in 'Israel, it. is
probable that the young .state
will not enjoy television for many
years to come.
This is the opinion of Miriam
Herrmann, a director of chil-
dren's programs for Kol Israel,
the Israel broadcasting station in
the Jewish state.
Miss Herrmann, in the United
States for six months as part of
the U.S. Point Four program of
technical assistance to 'foreign
countries, stopped in Detroit for a
few days this week.
"We have neither the time nor
the money for television in Is-
rael," Miss Herrmann said, and
from the tone she used, it was
apparent that most Israelis do
not think of television, or luxu-
ries, but only of building up a
young country.
Miss Herrmann directs about
eight programs a week for Kol
Israel—all children's shows. They
are all educational, and are
geared for the age group 5 to 16.
Among the subjects are plays
on books, Israel history, .cus-
toms, music, various discus-
sions, sports and documen-
taries. She praised the facilities
of WDTR, the Board of Educa-
tion station here, where she
spent a good deal of time. The
sustaining nature of the sta-
tion, she said, is more similar
to her programs and problems
than the big stations with "all
their commercials."
Miss Herrmann conceded that
