Detroit Jewish News-5

Friday, February 17, 1956

The final assembly of the
1956 Emergency Campaign be-
ing conducted by the Israel His-
tadrut in Detroit will be held
at 8:30 p. m., Thursday, in the
new Labor Zionist Center, 19161
Schaefer.
Division chairmen and group
leaders have been alerted by the
executive board of the Cam-
paign and have been working
closely with volunteer workers
in an effort to achieve 100 per-
cent coverage of outstanding
cards by the assembly.
Guest of honor at the program
will be Dr. Joseph Burstein,
director of Histadrut's culture
and education department in
Israel. He arrived only recently
in this country as special Hista-
drut emissary" to assist in the
current national drive for $5,-
000,000.
Dr. Burstein, a Detroit visitor
five years ago, came to Pales-
tine from Poland in 1940, and
directed the gymnasium at
Petach Tikvah. During the War
of Independence, he directed all
military radio operations.
When the state of Israel was
proclaimed in 1948, broadcast-
ing facilities controlled by the
British "broke down," and the
proclamation was made on the
Haganah- radio station set up by
Dr. Burstein.
In addition to being a direc-
tor of Histadrut, he also is a
member of the Tel Aviv City
Council and director of the
Workers College in that city.'
As in Past weeks, Campaign
officials are reporting a steady
increase- in pledges, which cur-
rently stand at 10 percent above
last year's drive. Meanwhile, a
cash collection drive is being
conducted simultaneously to
meet urgent requests from the
national office to purchase
mediate and large quantities of
medical equipment and other
supplies for shipment to Israel.
A substantial portion of this
year's funds from Detroit were
transmitted last weekend at the
national Roll Call Conference
in New York by Morris L. Shav-
er and Morris Lieberman, hon-
orary chairman and chairman,
respectively, of the local drive.
The public is invited to Thurs-
day's meeting to hear Dr.- Bur-,
stein's address.

Tel Aviv Attorney
TO Chance All
On TV Quiz Show

NEW YORK, (JTA) — Mrs.
Ofra Bikel, a fourth generation
Israeli, will get another chance
at the $50,000 question on NBC-
TV's "The Big Surprise" this
Saturday night.
The Israeli attorney, who was
to try for the sum in her quest
for television's largest prize of
$100,000, was ill and did not
appear last week. Mrs. Bikel's
category is Napolean, and, if she
wins the $50,000, she told JTA
reporters, she plans to continue
to the very top.
Born in Tel Aviv, where her
parents still live, Mrs. Bikel is
a graduate of the Herlian secon-
dary school. She continued her
education in Paris, where she
studies law, political science
and, apparently, a good deal
about Napoleon.
. She met her husband, Theo-
dore Bikel, in Paris. An actor
and star with Ha_bimah, he is
currently appearing in Broad-
way's hit play, "The Lark."
He is best known to American
audiences for his role as the
Dutch doctor in the English film'
"The Little Kidnappers."
- Asked about the astronomical
income tax on her winnings,
Mrs. Bikel plaintively explained
that she no longer calculated it.
Every time she won, the per-
centage kept changing, she ex-
plained, so she'll wait and swal-
low the final pill all at once.
