questions
newsmen following receipt of
news from Damascus that Arab
leaders had turned down the
American plan, the spokesman
said that Israel could not hold
back indefinitely on vital de-

of Arab opposition.
If there is no agreement on
the regional water plan, Israel
will proceed to utilize fully the
resources within her borders,
he stressed. He cited the hydro-
electric project north of Lake
Tiberias as one example of the
type of project that would be
pushed through.

Menahem Pressler, brilliant
young Israeli pianist hailed by
American critics, will make his

Born in Magdeburg, Germany, he

ing with Prof. Leo Kestenberg,
one-time Minister of Fine Arts

sler played in public with the
Palestine Orchestra on tour in the

of Karl Solomon, music director
of the Palestine Broadcasting
Service, who engaged him re-
peatedly and helped him musical-
ly in his early carreer.
In Tel Aviv, in 1946, Pressler
read in an American paper of a

During his first American tour,
1947-48, Pressler played five times
with the Philadelphia Orchestra

gaged for the following four con-
secutive seasons.
That same season he appeared
with the N. Y. Philharmonic, the
National Symphony of Washing-
ton, D. C., the Indianapolis Sym-
phony and the Buffalo Philhar-
monic. In succeeding years, Pres-
sler toured various countries and
appeared with the Dallas Sym-
phony, the Chicago Symphony,
the London Philharmonic, the
Vancouver Symphony and the
Orchestre Colonne.
For the past two years, Pressler
has been making frequent visits
to the United States. While here,
he records for MGM records.
Mrs. Joseph Katchke, chair-
man of the Detroit Women's Di-
vision, indicated her confidence
about the BIG Day -results by
saying, "After meeting with the
devoted women who are giving
their time on Oct. 16 to aid
Israel's economic development, I
know that our BIG Day effort
will mark a significant step for-
ward in our sale of these vitally
important Bonds."
The Bnai Brith women re-
cently pledged their full
support to the Women's Di-
vision fall bond . campaign.
Fourteen individual B ond
Chairmen, representing over
6,500 members from many Bnai
Brith chapters, met at the home
of Mrs. Charles Makie, Greater

Council Chairman, on Sept. 22
to organize for this all-out Bond
drive.
During this meeting, Mrs.
Charles Milan, chairman of the
organizations committee for the
Women's Bond Division, outlined
sales procedures and stressed the
importance of investing in Bonds

The women volunteers hope
that every. family in the North-

home on BIG Day, Oct. 16, so
that their efforts will have maxi-
mum results.
