JERUSALEM (JTA)—Lessing
Rosenwald praised Israel and
the accomplishments of its
people after completing a week's
tour of the country, but insisted
that he was still opposed to
Zionism. Rosenwald s t r e s s e d
that the anti-Zionist Council
for Judaism, ' of which he is a

former president, is not anti-
Israel.
During his visit as a guest of
the Government of Israel, Mr.
Rosenwald conferred with Pre-
mier David Ben - Gurion, who
had extended the invitation to
visit Israel. He - travelled the
length and breadth of Israel

and even visited Sharm el
Sheikk, on the top of the Sinai
Peninsula.
Rosenwald reiterated his long-
held view that the "Jews are
not a people" and asserted that
"we in America resent Zionist
propaganda and lobbying ac-
tivities." During questioning by

newsmen, Rosenwald admitted
that the fact that Israel existed
was good for the Jews seeking
to migrate as well as for Egyp-
tian and Hungarian Jews who
needed a haven.
The American met with Is-
rael Chief Rabbi Isaac Halevi
Herzog and during his visit

talked with many Israelis.
People who met him during the
tour commented on his breadth
of knowledge of the historical
and Biblical aspects of the
country and on the fact that
he emph'asized that while he
was a guest of the government
he paid all his own expenses.

Admiring visitors applaud first
mass-produced retractable
hardtop—biggest body
change since 1915

By ERNEST W. WHITNEY

There's so much that's so new at
this 44th Annual Detroit Auto-
mobile Show that a visitor feels
somewhat like a small boy on
Christmas morning: he hardly
knows where to begin.
As far as we are concerned, the
most fascinating automobile in the
entire Armory is Ford's Retract-
able Hardtop. Here, right before
your very eyes, you watch a trim
all-steel hardtop change itself into
a glamorous convertible—and back
again. Even after you've watched
this startling transformation, you
still feel like the applauding visitor
from Kalamazoo who said, "I've
seen her do it twice, all right. But
I still can't believe it."

Quick Change Wizardry

-

For years all of us have heard
much about "hardtop convert-
ibles." But these cars haven't
really been convertible at all. It
remained for Ford, the company
that sparked the trend to V-8
engines and puf America on wheels
with its mass production tech-
niques, to come up with the first
hardtop that is tru/y,convertible.
When you feast your admiring
glance on this retractable hardtop,
you'll be looking at the surest-to-
be-copied idea in car bodies since
Ford introduced the first 2-door
sedan back in 1915. In one glam-
orous model this Ford brings you
all the snug protection of a hardtop
and the sun-loving fun of a con-
vertible. In our opinion it's the
"poppy" of a whole future genera-
tion of cars.
The way this car converts is
simplicity itself. All you do is
touch a switch. Smoothly, electric
motors lift the rear deck lid. You
can stop here if you wish, load
your baggage, then push the button
and close the lid. If yo-U continue
to touch the switch, the top
separates from the body—then
raises and slips gracefully out of
- sight. Finally the trunk lid closes,
leaving a smooth expanse of metal
right up to the back of the rear
seat. You've never seen anything
like it because there's never been
anything like it. One admiring
visitor quipped, "It's the slickest
quick-change act I've seen since
they invented lipstick!"

...the car of the future from Ford

Production Starting

Chatting with a Ford official at
the exhibit we discovered that the
mechanism which raises and lowers
this steel top already has performed
this feat enough times to be the
equivalent of ten years of normal
service. - We learned further that
this new Ford is three inches longer
than the longest '57 models. This
provides extra rear deck space for
the roof which is "swallowed" by
the trunk. To get more luggage
space, the spare tire has been
moved under a floor plate in the
trunk and the gas tank is farther
forward.
Production of these unusual two-
in-one Fords is expected to get
under way soon.

Best Show Yet

, Another highlight of this year's
show is the unique cutaway side
view of the new "Inner Ford." In
fact, this entire '57 show is the
most educational and entertaining
we can remember. But the star of
the show is Ford's retractable
hardtop. Once you see it you'll say,
!'There's the Ford in my future!"

Be among the first to see this beautiful all-steel
hardtop that's an exciting convertible, too! At
the touch of a switch, and in a matter of seconds,
the steel top disappears! This fabulous retract-
able hardtop was developed by Ford . . . leader
in hardtop styling and world's leading maker of
