While well-known symphonic
works will be performed, the
non-sectarian group will give
stress to new works. The pro-
grams will not consist of exclu-
sively Jewish music, yet will
not ignore material by Jewish
composers.
Olefsky hopes to achieve the
quality of the well-known
chamber orchestra sponsored by
the Young Men's Hebrew Asso-
ciation in New York. While
that body is backed by Jews, its
orchestra's concerts are attended
by discriminating patrons of all
creeds and faiths, Olefsky notes.
A Curtis Institute graduate,
Olefsky is a former pupil of
the world-renowned cellist
Gregor Piatigorsky. While serv-
ing with the U.S. navy the 31-
year-old cellist spent numerous
leave hours, also studying with
the famed Pablo Casals.
Olefsky, who has produced
several recordings with RCA
Victor, heads the Bertram
Shapleigh Foundation, which
fosters music of the contempo-
rary American composer. He
has been solo cellist with the
Philadelphia orchestra and the
Chicago • Symphony, besides
keeping up regular conducting
duties in Philadelphia and
Washington. He has been the
Detroit Symphony's principal
cellist for the past three years.
Zurich Stages Premier
of Schoenberg Opera
ZURICH (JTA)—The theat-
rical world premiere of the late
composer Arnold Schoenberg's
opera "Moses and Aron" was
performed here as high point
of the "World Music Festival"
spnsored by the International
Society for Contemporary Music,
with prominent critics from all
parts Of the world in attendance.
The Zurich Council made
available a special suubsidy of
$40,000 to stage the world
premiere which was performed
by the Zurich Opera.
Vienna-born Schoenberg, the
foremost pioneer of atonal
music, was 77 years old when
he died at Los Angeles in 1951.
Having returned to Judaism in
his adulthood, he created this
compelling musical opus just
before the blight of Hitlerism
descended upon Germany's cul-
tural life. Although he wrote
the libretto for the entire work,
he provided the music and or-
chestration for but two of the
three acts. Only these two acts

LISTENING
THE GOOD OL' summer
time for the 150 families who
own cottages at Woodhull Lake
means getting the pump start-
ed, planting, cleaning, and with
pleasure in every chore, get-
ting ready for the summer va-
cation_ they spend there . .
The people who bought lots
and built small cottages at
Woodhull 30 years ago, with-
out plumbing or conveniences,
have now, with the growing
up of their children, who them-
selves now have children of
their own, enlarged, modern-
ized and generally greatly im-
proved the entire community.
. . But the finest thing those
who grew up at Woodhull Lake
had and still have is the hand
of friendship with all who re-
turned year after year. . .
Not long after this community
began, they formed the Wood-
hull Lake Property Owners
Association, still very active.
▪ . . This group had one pri-
mary purpose. . . . The place
where old and young gathered
to sing songs, put on shows
and most of all, to dance, was
the "Big House.". . . Because
it was such an important part
of the lake, the people de-
cided that the Association
should purchase this property,
remodel it, improve it and
make it a real community
center. . . . Folks used to
gather through the years in
various homes for Friday night
and Saturday services, and it
was felt that a community
center should be for old and
young alike . . so a syna
gogue was born. —. . The en-
thusiasm from young and old
together was astonishing. . .
Donations were made by peo-
ple who weren't even residents
Torah was donated by
• .
Meyer Rosen of Monroe, Mich.
. . Under the leadership of
Norman Richman, president of
the Woodhull Lake Property
Owners Association, people
rose to help, and with the
opening services, there were
books, taleisim, yarmelkes,
chairs and all that was neces-
sary for a congregation to
function . . . Isadore Sosnick
was elected president and Mor-
ris Zack, with a generous do-'
nation, was given the honor of
naming the synagogue Zev
Shalom, in memory of his fa-
ther . . A ladies Auxiliary
was formed with Mrs. Rose
Shengold as president. ..
People like Sammy Woolf have
donated their talents and time
to help raise funds. . . Wood-
hull now even has a new res-
taurant. .. . An airplane sprays
DDT to kill the bugs, the roads
that once were dust traps are
now well oiled and garbage
collection is a regular routine.
. . . Social functions are al-
ways being planned by the en-
tertainment committee, headed
by Mrs. Minnie Sacks, with the
Jewish public constantly in-
vited. . . . And so, with school
out, Woodhull Lake comes to
life again . . . with such won-
derful people as Mrs. Ruth
Levenberg, vice president of
the association, striving so that
a Jewish community can live
with dignity.

Court Bars Strasser's Nazi-Type Organization.
BERLIN (JTA) — The Ad-
ministrative Court handed down
a ruling barring a Nazi-type,
anti-Semitic political organiza-
tion which Otto Strasser, one-
time associate of Adolf Hitler,
sought to establish.
The couurt upheld an earlier
action of the West Berlin auth-j
orities who denied the organiza-
tion the right to operate in the
city on the grounds that it was
undemocratic and unconstitu-
tional.
Strasser, a Nazi Party pioneer
who later broke with Hitler and
set Up his own Nazi-type or-
ganization, has been trying to
create a political movement
ever since his return to Ger- 1
many from Canada two years
ago. He established a political
party called the "German Social
Union" in West Germany last
year.
Berlin circles believe that
Strasser may now seek to es-
tablish a branch_ of this party
in West. Berlin since it is doubt-
ful that the local authorities can
outlaw a political party and
there is no constitutional court
in the city to exercise suuch
authority. The Supreme Consti-
tutional Court at Karlsruhe has
declined to exercise jurisdiction
over West Berlin.
