William Rosenwald, general
chairman of the United Jewish
Appeal, and Rabbi Herbert
Friedman, UJA executive vice-
president, who were here Mon-
day to confer with Allied Jew-
ish Campaign leaders, as part of
a nationwide good-will tour by
UJA leaders, announced inaug-
uration of the fall and final
phase of UJA's nationwide cam-
paign. They stated that UJA is
seeking $30,000,000 in cash by
Nov. 30, to meet new emer-
gencies.
At the same time that the
two . top UJA leaders arrived
here, Joseph Holtzman, national
UJA chairman from Detroit, left
on a goodwill tour of his own.
Among the cities he will visit
CeilChapman,M a rtini
Shown at Opening of
Belle Jacob Fashions
are Buffalo, N. Y., Elizabeth,
N.J., and Pittsburgh, Pa.
The two national leaders
stated that their visit here was
strictly for cementing good
relations between the national
UJA office and Detroit's lead-
ers; that Detroit commitments
are being fulfilled and that the
securing of a bank loan here
assures UJA the income avail-
able from Detroit.
"Naturally," Mr. Rosenwald
said, "we hope Detroit con-
tributors will make prompt
payments on UJA pledges, in
order to assure speedy repay-
ment of the bank loans."
Mr. Rosenwald termed the
UJA's final 195'6 effort "as fate-
ful as any time since we started
raising funds 18 years ago."
He urged Jews in this coun-
try to keep in mind that "the
most serious threats to Jewish
life since the days of Hitler face
large Jewish communities in a
number of overseas areas."
"The very threat of annihila-
tion has been levelled against
the people of Israel," he de-
clared. "while the _threat of iso-
lation from the rest of Jewry
grows larger and larger for
Jews in certain other areas now
being swept by revolutionary
changes."
He called upon American
Jews to support the UJA "up
to the full measure of generos-
ity," asserting that this support
"can save hundreds of thou-
sands of helpless men, women
and children."
He noted in particular that
close to 500,000 refugees and dis-
tressed Jews, the majority of
them recent newcomers to Is-
rael, are directly dependent on
the UJA at the present time.
Monday evening, after confer-
ences with Detroit leaders, Mr.
Rosenwald and Rabbi Friedman
were guests of Mr. and Mrs.
Abe Kasle, at dinner at the lat-
ters' home on Lucerne Drive.
A press review party, mark-
ing the official opening of one
of the smartest shops in the
Williamsburg R o w shopping
area—the Belle Jacob exciting
new women's specialty shop—at
19338 Livernois, turned into a
thrilling fashion show, Monday
evening.
Clothes by Galotti, "Weaver
of the Island," greeted the
northwest audience. Fabulous
sportswear by Valstar, who is
particularly known for his coats
and rain suits, were also in the
offing. Dazza Tremellani knits,
separates, skirts, coats, blouses,
and sweaters exemplified the
striking selection displayed. Un-
usual sweaters by Golf Tricots
were also shown. Sport coats
by Cisa completed the list of
Italian designers.
Canadian fashions were also
featured. Suede coats with mu-
ton linings were the appealing
productions of Keleti, of Mon-
treal.
But American coutiers were
not to be outdone. Creations by Another Krim Triumph
Ceil Chapman, Seymour Jacob-
son, Martini, Mr. Mort, and Kirk Douglas Great
John Carter of Hollywood, were

modeled with just pride.
Though the average designer
dress by Carter costs $200, Belle
Jacob carries dresses ranging in
price from $25 to $300.
The store has the exclusive
"Braemar" cashmere sweater. It
also puts out its own designs
on cashmere sweaters, done by
S. Irene Johns.
Morris Jacob is president of
Belle Jacob, Abel Jacob is vice-
president; Alfred Schermer,
secretary, and Belle Jacob, is
treasurer.

"Lust for Life," depicting the
life story of Vincent Van Gogh,
had its world premiere at the
Plaza Theater in . New York on
Monday and at the Krim Thea-
ter in Detroit on Tuesday.
, Sol Krim, manager of the
Krim Theater, thus chalked up
another triumph as one of the
most enterprising theatrical
managers in America.
"Lust for Life" is one of the
great productions of our time,
and Kirk Douglas, as Van Gogh,
renders the greatest perform-
ance of his career.
The film is so colorful that
the viewer feels, throughout the
performance, as if he were on
a tour of an art museum. In the
reproductions of the Van Gogh
paintings, in the actual scenery
depicting the exciting and tragic
story of the great painter's life,
in the coal-mining scene, there
is a blending of nature and
the artist's creativity which such
strength and reality that the
viewer is literally overwhelmed.
There are many fine scenes
in "Lust for Life," but no single
one can be isolated for its own
sake because of the greatness
of the entire production. At the
Krim, "Lust for Life" should
run for many months.

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Yoshua
Horowitz and Herbert Marsh,
two Jews — one an American
and the other a Briton—who
were kidnapped by Syrians
north of Lake Tiberias, in Isra-
eli territory, last Saturday, were
returned to Israel Monday. They
told of harsh treatment by their
Syrian captors.
United Nations military ob-
servers, who intervened, were
present when the Syrians
handed the men back to Israel
authorities at the Bnot Yaacov
bridge, south of Lake Huleh.
Horowitz had fought with Is-
rael's forces in this country dur-
ing the war of liberation, had
returned home to America, then
came back a year ago, bringing
with him tractors, bulldozers
and other equipment.
He and Marsh had been look-
ing along Lake Tiberias for a
site for a cattle farm.. They
were in their automobile, well
inside Israeli territory, when
the Syrians opened fire.
Marsh was slightly wounded.
during the four-hour fight. Fi-
nally, the Syrians captured
them, beat them and dragged
them across the border into Sy-
rian territory.
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Dr.
Nelson Glueck, president of the
Hebrew Union College-Jewish
Institute of Religion and noted
archaeologist, returned from his
fifth summer of archaeological
research in the Negev with a
reaffirmation that discoveries
made there indicate that the
area was once the site of a flou-
rishing, relatively permanent
civilization and not a wilderness
as some scholars have con-
tended.
Dr. Glueck reported that he
had drawn up a new map of
the Negev showing 350 separate
villages and fortresses between
2000 B.C.E. and 1300 – C.E. He
added that he would put his
findings — which he contends
change the entire concept of
the Negev and show "thee key
to the development of the Near
East," which Israel will develop
—into a book on the subject.
The historic and literary as-
sociations first of Palestine and
then of Israel have inspired the
writing and production of more
books than any other land, at
least of such geographic di-
mensions. When the late Ar-
thur Rupin, famous sociologist
and pioneer builder of Zion
first visited the United States
in the early '20s, he found
some 6,000 items relating to
Palestine in the catalogue of
the New York Public Library,
and that was only part of the
voluminous literature.
Interest in Palestine and Is-
rael is not only manifested
in books, but is also reflected
in art, in pictures of every
kind, from classic paintings to
modern photographs. The new
art of photography especially
has been developed to such
graphic vividness that it gives

Aschner and Zachary Serwer,
Monde Publishers, Inc., White
Plains, N. Y., is really a re-
markable publication. The book
is made up 200 of the most
striking, life-like, and impres-
sive pictures of every facet of
the new and pulsating life in
Israel.
In response to this new in-
terest in pictorial art devoted
to Israel, there has been pub-
lished in Israel a book called
"Hahitnadvut," edited by Y.
Klinov and Z. Shiloah, which
is, in effect, "An Album of the
Volunteers" telling the story of
Haganah and other self-defense
organizations existing before
the establishment of the state.
A large part of the credit
for introducing pictorial art as
a means of bringing Israel
home to Jews everywhere
should go to the American
Fund for Israel Institutions,
which, in its magazine "Israel
Life and Letters" first envis-
ioned pictorially the glories of
Jewish national revival.

Dulles Assures Israel
on U. S. Stand on Suez
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. ,
(JTA)—Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles has assured Is-
rael's Ambassador in Washing-
ton, Abba S. Eban, that the
principle of complete freedom
of passage for ships of all na-
tions through the Suez Canal
without any discrimination still
guides U. S. policy.
Israeli sources indicated that
that position was explained to
Eban when the Ambassador con-
ferred with Dulles. The Secre-
tary is understood to have made
it clear that his current policy
includes a firm adherence to the
principle of complete univer-
sality and non-discrimination in
the use of the canal by all na-
tions, without exception.
Ambassador Eban also con-
ferred for over an hour with
Secretary General Dag Ham-
marskjold.
