Symphony-JewishCenter Event Battle of Huleit
An Exciting Musical Triumph

Last Sunday's Family Concert,
sponsored by the Detroit Sym-
phony Orchestra in cooperation
with the Jewish Community
Center, at Masonic Auditorium,
was an exciting musical event.
An enthusiastic audience ac-
claimed the orchestra as well as
the eminent soloists who par-
ticipated in it.
Valter Poole, who conducted
the first portions of the pro-
gram, deserves high com-
mendations for the excellence
of his direction. It was evi-
dent from beginning to end
that his skill had resulted in
an excellent knitting together
of instruments and voices.
Julius Chaj es, guest conductor
for the last three numbers on
the program, similarly distin-:
guished himself with his direc-
tOrial ability.
, The guest soloists were Paul
Olefsky;' eminent cellist, and
Detroit's very poptilar . So-
prano; Emma Schaver.
Mr. Olefsky was superb as a
soloist in Aram Khachatourian's
Concerto for Violincello and or-
chestra.
Two selections by the Israeli
composer, Marc Lavry,. were
on the program —his Emek,
played by the orchestra under
the direction of Mr. Chajes,
and his Kinneret, which was
ably sung by Mrs. Schaver.
Mr. Chajes also directed the
Orchestra in its rendition of his
own Hebrew Suite — which in-
cluded Prayer, Walls of Zion,
and - the Hora; and Georges
Enesco's Romanian Rhapsody in
A Major' No. 1.
Mrs. Schaver also was ac-
claimed in her interpretation
of Lazar Saminsky's Shir
HaShirim (Songs of Songs);
Sholem Secunda's Dudele, the
popular Hassidic
and
the song she selected for the
encorse, Yemenite Song from
Jacob Weinberg's opera, Ha-
lutzim.
Her rendition of the Dudele
deserves special mention. Mr.
Poole excelled in his arrange-
ment of the orchestral accom-
paniment for this popular folk-
song about the paean of Rabbi

Levi Yitzchock of Berditchev
(1740-1810) to God.
In its entirety, it was an ex-
cellent concert, well arranged,
serving as an appropriate com-
munity event for Hanukah week.

Israel: Take Command
of Reparations Ship

'LUBECK, (JTA) — An Israel
captain and Israel crew of 33
seamen took command of the new
3,145-ton freighter Kedmah after
Israel formally took over the ves-
sel as a reparations payment.
The vessel, one of a number
completed in the last year or two
by German shipyards to Israeli
specifications, becomes part of the
fleet of Zim-Shoham.
The vessel, which will sail for
Haifa with a cargo of reparations
goods under the command of
Capt. Aryeh Silberman, has re-
frigerated cargo holds and will
be used to transport Israel's citrus
products, in season, to North Sea
or Soviet Black Sea ports.
Out of season, the vessel will
be able to transport lumber or
tree trunks from West Africa,
which currently supplies a good
deal of Israel's lumber needs.
She will also be used for general
commercial cargo between Trieste
and Haifa.

President ITZHAK BEN-
ZVI, of Israel, shakes hands
with a tractorist in Israel's Hu-
leh area. The "tractor jockey,"
as they are called in Israel,
and many of his co-workers,
recently completed the sowing
of 10,000 dunams of winter
crops on newly-reclaimed
Huleh swamp land. Special
varieties of wheat are being
planted to absorb the moisture,
which made tractoring the land
treacherous and caused many
breakdowns of equipment. The
land has been celared of its
stagnant water, gnats, snakes,
wild birds and boars and is
now clean and even. In another
three months, the fields will
be covered with a green carpet,
and in six months they will be
golden as the wheat ripens to
provide more bread for Israeli
tables.

is being supported locally by
members of Hapoel Hamizrachi.
It is expected to be completed by
the spring of 1956.
Dr. A. M. Hershman, rabbi

Eban Asks UN
•For Arms Balance

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA)—A plea for restoration of
the arms balance as between
Egypt and Israel was made to
both East and West by Abba
Eban, chairman of the Israel
delegation, in an address during
the disarmament debate in the
General Assembly's' Political and
Securtiy Committee.
Conceding that there is "a le-
gal right of sovereign states to
buy or sell arms anywhere they
choose," Eban told the United
Nations that "this legal right,
like all others, can either be ap-
plied with discretion and prud-
ence or abused by a lack of
judgment and restraint. The
question is not of legality, but of
basic international responsibil-
ity."
Obviously addressing himself
to members of the Soviet bloc,
Eban said: "To thoSe who have
sold these arms or publicly de-
fended their sale, we say in full
earnestness that relaxation of
tension is indivisible. It cannot
consistently be upheld as an
ideal for the world as a whole
and violated by action which in-
creases tension in the Middle
East."
Appealing to the West,. Eban
declared: "Some in the Western
world may well ask themselves
whether they have always
_shown the self-discipline and
_a.bsolute equity which their dec-
larations in the Security Council
seemed to promise. . They will
Obviously have no chance of
success at all if the imbalance
created by Egypt is allowed to
grow without counteraction."
. "My government is convinced
that the sponsorship or accept-
ance of such drastic imbalance
in an area of conflict is incom-
patible with any professional de-
sire to bring about a relaxation
of international or regional ten-
sion." He noted that "in the in-
DETROIT JEWISH NEWS-13 terests of its national survival,

steps to counteract this imbal-
ance and to protect itself against
its likely effects."
