Israel Celebration Here
Speaking before an audience
of more than 1500 people who
overflowed the capacity of the
social hall of Cong. Adas Sha-
lom to celebrate the eighth an-
niversary of Israel's indepen-
dence, the Hon. Cecil Hyman,
Israel's Minister Plenipotentiary
and Consul General in New
York City, stated that the most
important development in Is-
rael recently was the arrival of
two boatloads of North African
immigrants and not so much the
threat of Arab aggression, which

Hyman said that Israelis know
that if the disputed Negev area,
which is now empty, were filled
with productive Israeli citizens,
the Arab countries would have
difficulty in justifying an attack
on a populated area. For this
reason, he said, all immigrants
are welcome, but the financial
burden on Israel's bildget is
enormous.
"It cost $3,006 to train and
educate each immigrant for a
useful and productive life and
we have absorbed 800,000 im-
migrants within the past eight
years," stated Mr. Hyman, as
he stressed the importance of
continued financial assistance
of American Jewry.
Mr. Hyman pointed out that
Israel is asking for defensive
weapons and not offensive arm-
ament. Israel wants interceptor
planes, not bombers, destroyers,
rather than submarines and
anti-tank guns, rather than
tanks. "We want to build our
country and protect it, not de-
stroy it," he said.
The Consul General under-
lined the fact that every place
in Israel is within 10 minutes
flight from Egyptian air fields
and much of Israel is only 10
miles wide with Egypt on one•
side and - the Mediterranean on
the other.
If the Arabs, equipped with
Russian MIGS and heavy ,tanks,
were to attempt a sudden, all-
out attack, Israel may be de-
stroyed before UN action could
be taken; he said.
Mr. Hyman stated that if the
Arab representatives were to
meet with Israelis in face-to-
face sessions, a peace might be
worked out to the advantage of
all the inhabitants of the Middle
East.
The • program featured the
first Detroit appearance of
the Israeli Student Associa-
tion, consisting of a choir,
chalil and colorful dance
group who presented "Harvest
of Hope," an original work
written and directed by Jo-
seph Edelman, director of the
Culture Commission of the
Jewish Community Council of
Metropolitan Detroit.
Ruth Seligson and Gertrude
Strauss narrated the events that
led up to Israel's Proclamation
of Independence while the choir,
led by Hanna Stiebel and ac-
companied by Ariel Stiebel at
the piano, sang Israeli songs.
The Adas Shalom symphonic
ensemble, directed by Zinovi
Bistrizky, also presented a mus-
ical interlude and talks were
given by Irving W. Schlussel,
chairman of the Detroit Zionist
Council and Samuel J. Rhodes,
president of the Jewish Com-
munity Council. Rabbi Jacob E.
Segal gave the invocation.
The program opened with the
presentation of the American
and Israeli colors by the Julius
Rosenwald post of the Ameri-
can Legion and closed with the
enthusiastic audience joining in
the singing of Hatikvah, the Is-
raeli national anthem.
The celebration, annually co-
sponsored by the Detroit Zionist
Council and Jewish .Community
Council, was aided by Phylis
Pincus, who headed the hostess
committee of the Zionist Coun-
cil and Harry Docks, who pro-
vided the gay flowers, Israeli
flags, insignias and bunting
which decorated the hall.

Boy, 13, Creates
Border Incident
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—A 13-
year old boy can get into a lot
of trouble if he decides to do
something foolish "just to
show" his brother after he's
had an argument with the
brother. But very few are like
Meir Malha, who lives in Jeru-
salem and is, therefore, in a
position to create an "interna-
tional incident" about it.
Meir just decided to get even
with his brother by staging a
sit-down strike—right in the
middle of no-man's land be-
tween Israel and Jordan. Hun-
dreds of residents gathered to
watch as Jerusalem police
called in vain to the stubborn
boy. Finally, Jordanian auth-
orities, notified of the incident
by United Nations truce offi-
cials, agreed to withhold their
fire while the Israeli police
went out and got him back.
One long-time resident of
this city remarked somewhat
bitterly that it was a- good
thing the case never got to the
Security Council— or Meir
might still be sitting there,
Stranded by a veto.

, NEW YORK, (Special)—Len-
nie Rqss, a 10-year-old young-
ster from Tujunga, Calif., will
appear this Saturday night on
television's "The Big Surprise"
as he tries for the big $100,000
question.
Lennie, whose knowledge of
the stock market and finance
has astounded experts, was
"saved" last week by his double,
little Rickey Cohen, of Shaker
Heights, 0.
After missing the $50,000
question the previous week,
Lennie was permitted by show
rules to be "rescued" by a
double. This came in the person
of Rickey, who answered the
current events question on Dag
Hammarskjold's visit in the
Near East correctly, and gave
Lennie another chance.
The California youngster then
proceeded to 'answer correctly
his new question for $50,000,
giving him an opportunity to try
this Saturday for "The Big
Surprise."
Rickey won $1,000 for his ef-
forts in answering his question
correctly.
