WE LOVE TO VISIT New
York . . . it's the laughline of
America, with every landmark
a laughmark . . . There are
more comics per capita in New
York, more ham on the hoof
and more laughs per square
than anywhere else in the
world! . . . One of the most
famous laughmarks on the
Main Stem is Lindy's . . . Own-
er Leo Lindeman's manager,
Hy Heller, tells about the
group of comics sitting around
one early morning cutting up
a herring and a few agents when
they finally got around to their
doctors . . . "I go to special-
ist," said Jack Carter. "You
know what a specialist is?
When he diagnoses your case,
he feels your purse." . . . The
Stage Delicatessen is the only
place on the Stem where you
can find famous tongues wag-
ging and smoked tongues hang-
ing . . . Here gags and garlic
are the spice of life . . . The
guiding light of Salamiville is
Max Asnas, known as the corn-
ed beef king of the comics,
who amuses his pals while they
wait to get seated at his pas-
trami palace . . . Max was
apologizing to Jerry Lester that
he couldn't get the people up
from their seats because they
liked to linger over a cup of
coffee 1 "What's ruining
my business," complained Max,
"is king-sized cigarettes." . . .
Toots Shor always does cap-
acity business . . If only
Toots and his fat boy, .Jackie
Gleason, are there, the place
is filled . . . World-famous
celebrities wait in line for a
front table and an insult from
Toots . • . If he doesn't slap
you on the head and call you
"a crumbum" he's mad at you
. . . Toots and ex-Detroiter Mel
Berlin are good friends . . .
and Mel has the scars to prove
it! ... Leone's fabulous Italian
restaurant on West 48th Street
is known for its art treasures
as well as its food . . • You're
not really famous until Arnold
Reuben has named a sandwich
after you at Reuben's, the
house that snacks built! . . .
Sardi's Restaurant on West
44th Street consist of a body
of stars surrounded by theaters
and ticket brokers . . . The
famous laughmark on Second
Avenue is Moscowitz & Lup-
owitz, whose owner is Louis
Anselowitz . . . Jimmy Cagney
wanted personal service, so
Louis, himself, suggested kishke
. . . "Not for me," said Jimmy,
"I'm allergic to it." . . . "So,"
said Louis, "how's about grib
beness?" . . . "Can't eat fried
stuff," he explained . . . "Well"
said Louis, "why don't you
visit your doctor and order
later." . . . (P.S. for those who
don't know, kishke is breaded
leadpipe and gribbeness is Jew-
ish popcorn.)
Israel Sets Record Budget for 1959-60
Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News
JERUSALEM — A record
budget for 1959-60 of 1,500,000,-
000 pounds—a bout 90,000,000
more pounds • than the current
budget — will be sent to the
Knesset next month, it was dis-
closed Tuesday.
It was also revealed that the
budget has been sharply criti-
cized by both left wing parties,
Achdut .Avodah and Mapam.
Achdut Avodah was reported
opposed to the drastic cuts made
for the development budget and
Mapam reportedly objected to
the projected taxes.
Although the next budget pro-
vides for a slight increase in
revenue from direct taxes, both
left wing parties have com-
plained that indirect taxation
provides a too high proportion
of the budget. This position is
in conflict with the repeated
advice of foreign experts who
have consistently urged the
Israel government to reduce the
percentage of revenue derived
from direct taxation.
