Tel Aviv Mayor Orders
Zoo Closed on .Sabbath
TEL AVIV - (JTA) One of
those intricate compromises by
which the peace between reli-
gious and anti-religious ele-
ments in Israel is more or less
maintained has been applied to
the question of sabbath hours
for the Tel Aviv zoo.
-Debate flared in the Tel Aviv
Council last summer when the
Municipality dealt with a de-
mand for sabbath closings by
making admission to the zoo
free on the Sabbath.
Now Mayor Haim Levanon
has ordered the closing of the
zoo on the sabbath until further
notice. He added that the clos-
ing was intended only for the
winter months when few people
visit the zoo and cost of keep-
ing a staff. on duty during
Saturdays was very high.

urged to take. emergency me-aS-
ures, "such as have been in-

adopted a resolution calling for
prompt Congressional action to-
ward the improvement and re-
vision of the existing immigra-
tion laws.

of $2,264,587 and an emergency
rescue budget of $1,386,700, for
a total of $3,651,267.

president, reported that the or-
ganization had anticipated mov-
ing 4,400 Jews during 1956, but

Egypt had actually helped 7,189
to resettle in the U.S., Canada,
Australia, Latin America and
elsewhere.

chairman of the United Jewish
Appeal and a vice president of
Hias, addressed the meeting and
appealed for support of both the

Hi-Fi, Wide Screen
Enhances 'Fantasia'
The full impact of directional
sound and wide-screen pictures
is being brought to Detroit audi-
ences during the Krim Theater's
showing of Walt Disney's "Fan-
tasia."
Completely revamped with
the latest' advances in stereo-
phonic sound and wide-range
viewing, the Technicolor hit has
enriched audibility, and motion
irregularities are •iltered-out.
In producing the film, Disney
reversed the usual procedure of
story first, music second. Se-
lecting the music first, he had
it recorded by Leopold Stokow-
ski conducting the Philadelphia
Orchestra and then added story
and action_ s with animated car-
toons.
- Centaurs, unicorns, cupid s,
mushrooms and Mickey Mouse
are some of the resulting char-
acters cavorting to eight musical
masterpieces, including Bach's
"Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor,"
Tchaikovsky's "The Nutcracker
Suite," and Dukas' "The Sorcer-
er's Apprentice."
Other beloved classics, re-
corded by the 103 musicians on
nine sound. tracks are: Stravin-
sky's "Rite of Spring," Beetho-
ven's "P a s tor al Symphony,"
Ponchielli's "D ance of the
Hours," Moussorgsky's "Night
on Bald Mountain," and Schu-
bert's "Ave Maria."
