Issue Call for
JNF Conferene
The Jewish National Fund has
issued an appeal to all congre-
gations, Landsmanshaften and
other organizations in Detroit
and area, asking them to select
five delegates each to represent
them at the JNF Conference and
Weizmann Memorial S e r v i c e,
Sunday, Nov. 20, at Workmen's
Circle Educational Center.
The conference, which will
open at 1.0 a.m., Sunday, with a
brunch for delegates, is expected
to be a momentous one, accord-
ing to Irving W. Schlussel, presi-
dent of the JNF council.
Mr. Schlussel, who also is
chairman of the Zionist Council,
believes this Conference is most
auspiciously time for a large num-
ber of Jewish organizations, rep-
resenting every phase of Jewish
life, to act on the issue at stake
in the Middle East.
Richard B. Kramer is chairman'
of the conference arrangements
committee.
Conference speakers will in-
clude the Rev. Malcolm G. Dade,
D.D., of St. Cyprians Church, who
has just returned from Israel
as a member of a group of Min-
isters, Rabbis and civic leaders
who were on a study tour ar-
ranged by the Conference of
Christians and Jews; Mendel N.
Fisher, executive director of the
Jewish National Fund of Ameri-
ca, and Philip Slomovitz.
The conference, according to
Mr. Kramer, also is arranging a
series of forums and seminars,
which will be conducted by youth
organizations, Landsmanshaften,
religious groups, leaders of edu-
cation, the Foundation for Jew-
ish National Fund, and others.
The Third Yahrzeit of Dr.
Chaim Weidzmann will be ob-
served at a special ceremony.
Several presentations and
awards, in recognition for serv-
ices to the Jewish community
and to Israel, will be made.
Organizations are asked to no-
tify the JNF office, TO. 8-7384,
of the names of their delegates.

Theater and Cinema
The Yiddish Art Theater in New York under the aegis of
Maurice Schwartz is planning a revival of I. J. Singer's "The
Brothers Ashkenazi" when the current play "The Shepherd King"
leaves the boards on Nov. 12. There is no malaise of course in re-
viving old successes, but if the move signifies deviation from the
group's original intent of doing only new scripts it is a humiliating
and wholly unwarranted indictment of the current status of Jewish
letters as well as a foredooming of the very purpose for which the
Yiddish Art Theater was recently reorganized. There is no preten-
sion in this corner to great knowledge of that field, but it is simply
incredible that the field is so barren of new scripts. In fact, at this
very moment I have recollections of a number of both timely and
artistic works that are as if to-order-glade for the better stage,
among them prize-winning "Good Morning, Aleph," by Aleph Katz,
a tale of our time and our eternity.
If you want to see Israel without actually going there, go to
see "Hill 24 Doesn't Answer" when it gets around your way, or
even if you have to travel miles to an adjacent city to see it. The
first film processed and produced in its entirety in Israel, the_ story
revolves about an Irishman, an American and two Sabras who are
detailed to hold a hill on the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem road a few days
before the Arab-Israel truce in July of 1948. A great artistic achieve-
ment both as a story of love and war, the film unfolds the travail
of a nation in-,birth and the dedication of a people to sacred purpose
and destiny.
