C4, co kn Danny Raskin's Peres to Address UJA Conference LISTENING 00 oz 0 z ti O r.r.7 cr4 E-1 COMIC JACKIE KAHANE, local lad from across Windsor way, was in Detroit between nitery stops after finishing an engagement at the King of Clubs in Dallas, Texas . . . where he unraveled his new-found wealth of stories about the Lone Star State .. . It's tough to get the last word in with a Texan, says Jackie, regardless of the circumstances . . . He tells about the group of GI's in Korea who came upon a remarkably small horse tethered to a post . . . "Gosh," said one soldier, "I'll bet that's the smallest horse in the whole wide world." . . . "You're crazy," contradicted a recruit from Texas. "Where I come from, we got horses that's as little as two of that one!" * * * Shimon Peres, 35-year-old di- rector-general of Israel's Minis- try of Defense and a close asso- ciate of Prime Minister David Ben - Gurion, w i 11 address the 21st an- nual national conference of the United Jewish Ap- peal, at the Statler Hilton Peres Hotel, New York, December 12-14, it was announced this week by the UJA general chair- man, Morris W. Berinstein. Berinstein emphasized that the immigrant absorption crisis in Israel will be a major con- cern of the forthcoming UJA Conference, which will conclude the 1958 campaign, elect new officers and set the objectives for the 1959 drive. The conference will consider the recommendation of the UJA Overseas Study Mission for a Special Fund drive to be carried out simultaneously with the regular 1959 UJA campaign. JACKIE RELATES the one about a Texas zillionaire who decided to bestow a modest gift of $500,000 upon a university not far from Dallas . . . One newspaper, however, made a slight mistake in its report of the bequest . . . It said that the gift was five million . . . Fortun- ately, the zillionaire and the owner of the paper are friends. • • So there was not too much anger in the voice of the zillion- aire when he phoned . . "I don't suppose I can make a liar out of that sheet of yours," he grumbled. "Since you said so, I'll make the gift five million this time. But confound it, don't let this happen again!" Following his Dallas, Texas engagement, Jackie's next stop was Cleveland, Ohio, where he opened a new nitery . . . He's fast becoming one of the most sought-after comedians in show business . . . a very likeable fel- low with a smooth easy-going delivery and a wonderful gleam of on-stage polish. Israel Ship to Start Cruises NEW YORK (JTA) — The Israeli luxury liner Jerusalem arrived in New York in ad- vance of her initial Caribbean cruise, the first to be under- taken by an Israeli-flag ship. The 500-foot air-conditioned vessel, built less than a year ago, was to start a 130 day cruise last weekend.

He was interested in learning the lang- uage spoken in Israel . . • Another young fellow wanted a standard work on Zionism . . . These are not isolated ex- amples . . . There is a tre- mendous intellectual curiosity among the Jewish intelligent- sia about Israel and Jewish life everywhere." G.B. answered our question about the possibility of a large Jewish emigration from the Soviet Union to Israel as fol- lows: "If Jews were free to go, there would be many hundred thousands who would take ad- vantage of the opportunity . . . Sure there is a little relaxation since Stalin's death, but Jews are afraid not so much for their naked life but they feel uneasy in the anti-Jewish at- mosphere, which is so noticable . . . A time may come when the Soviet Government may permit emigration . . . Should this come about, the reason would not be a more friendly attitude towards Jews but the old adage that the best method to solve the Jewish problem is to get rid of them . . . Let them go , . . And there is another reason . . .
