Israeli-French Relations
It is obvious to the inter-
national political scene that
France, more than any other
Western Big power, has recog-
nized Israel as the key nation
in the Middle Fast . It must
be acknowledged that the archi-
tect of this close relationship
is none other than Jean - Pierre
Gilbert, the French Ambassador
to Israel . . . Mon_sieur Gilbert,
who incidentally is a Jew, has
kept • close contact with the
leaders and the population of
Israel . . . He studied the psy-
chology of Arab-JeWish rela-
tions, and more than anything
else he observed closely Presi-
dent Nasser's policy . . . was
M. Gilbert, who as Premier
Monet's outpost. in the Middle
East interpreted Nasser's anti-
West•attitude and thus was in-
directly responsible for France's
realistic policy . . .
The Banner Year
The Israel government has of-„
ficially announced that April,
1968 to April, 19'59 will be the
10th anniversary year of the
Jewish State . . . An ambitious
program of celebration is being
worked out . . . The Israel gov-
ernment believes that the anni-
versary year will establish a
new 'record for tourist trade to
Israel .. Premier Ben-Gurion
has appointed Meyer W. Weis-
gal chairman of the anniversary
celebration .. .
There could
not have been a
happier choice
. . . Weisgal is
probably t h
only promoter
whose scope
of imagination
will be able to
cope with this
tremendous
task . . . It will
be his respon-
sibility to cre-
ate a program
of world-wide
interest- ...
_ Weisgal, as you
Weisgal
may remember, produced some
years ago "The Romance of a
People" and "The Eternal
Road," two -magnificent spec-
tacles, which were acclaimed as
the best, in their genre . . .
was Weisgal who interested the
late Max- Reinhardt, Kurt Well
and Frantz Werfel in lending
their creative gifts to a drama-
tization of the Jewish tragedy
under 1-litler . . Today, Weis-
gal is the executive head of the
Weizmann Institute of Science
at Rehovoth, one of the most
significant institutions of higher
learning in the world . . . Only
a man of Weisgal's heroic ener-
gy, would dare undertake, in
addition to his labors at the

may be sure . . Weisgal will
not compromise on the stand-
ards arid .quality of the anni-

Sholem Aleichem Yahrzeit
Last week the Jewish world
celebrated the 42nd Yahrzeit, of
Sholem Aleichem . . . There
were no mass functions, but
literary circles all over the
world marked the occasion by
assembling in • private homes
and enjoying some of Sholem
Aleichem's best stories . . . In
New York, in ,
the home of B.
Z. Goldberg,
the Yiddish
columnist who
is married to a
daughter of the
great humorist,
several of the
most talented
Yiddish actors Sholem
gathered a n d Aleicheni
gave readings from Sholem
Aleichem's best known works
. . . We attended the Goldberg
evening, and once more realized .
that Sholem Aleichem stands
alone as a master of Yiddish
literature . . . If only a trans-
lator could be found to render
his humor in the English lan-
guage ! . . . As-of now, however,
nobody has succeeded in mak-
ing Sholem Aleichem palatable
in English,, and preserving his
unique flavor in another lan-
guage . .

U.S. to Continue Aid
to Israel, Haggerty Says

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The
Eisenhower Doctrine will have
little material effect on. the
United States aid program to
Israel, John Haggerty, the new
chief of the U. S. aid mission
here, revealed.
However, he indicated he
was "certain" the U. S. would
continue its grants to Israel
and that in the future there
would be more emphasis on
long-term loans.
The American aid program,
disrupted by the Sinai cam-
paign, will be running smooth-
ly again within two months,
Haggerty told newsmen. He
reported that about 60 per cent
of the staff, evacuated as a
safety measure during the
Sinai battle, is back at work.
This summer, he disclosed, a
number of experts obtained
under a State Department con-
tract with the University of
the State of New. York, will
come to Israel to work during
their vacation.
