Urge Baseball as Israel Sport By HAROLD U. RIBALOW THE DETROIT JEWIS (Copyright, 1959, JTA, Inc.) One of America's most influ- ential magazines—and certainly the best sports periodical in the nation—recently carried an 11- page report on sports in Israel. Gerald Holland wrote the article, after tray ei i n g all over the country and meeting with David Ben-Gurion, Gen. Yaakov Dori of the Haifa Tech- nion and other Israeli person- alities. Holland was deeply im- pressed with Israel and its people and with the love for sports which has developed there. Of Irish descent, he had recently been in Ireland, talked continually of Ireland (or Eire) and hurling, its national sport. He visited Israel with Col. Har- ry Henshel, notable New York sports leader, and Chaim Glo- vinsky, manager of the Israel team that participated in the 1956 Olympics, and is now serv- ing as liaison man between the U.S. Committee for Sports in Israel and the various sports organizations.

Henshel, wherever he MIDELMAN'S ANGELUS SUMMER RESORT 610 North Shore SOUTH HAVEN, AMERICAN OR EUROPEAN PLAN o Private Beach Delicious Food • Beautiful Modern Rooms • Private Bathrooms Counsellor For Children • Planned Activities • Movies Dancing • Get-Acquainted Parties Show Nights • Nightly Entertainment ■ SPECIAL SUMMER RATES Per Week s-3 7 50 From Per Person Includes 3 Meals Daily In Our Beautiful Flamingo Dining Room Phone: South Haven 837 'Chicago AM 2-6268 or CE 6.5309 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ........ went, spoke up for baseball, but the Israelis were doubtful of its appeal in Israel. Soccer and now basketball seem to have the upper hand. In a talk with Gen. Dori and Carl Alpert (who used to edit the New Palestine of the Zionist Organization of America before he settled in Israel), Col. Henshel came up against some tough talking op- position on b a s e b a l 1. The Colonel wants to build a base- ball field as the Technion, and Alpert thinks he's wasting his time—or at least this is how Holland reports it. Col. Henshel was shocked by this attack but recovered to point out that baseball is now slow; that when you understand it you realize something is hap- pening every moment. But the debate was inconclusive because both men stood their ground, which gave Holland an oppor- tunity to make his plug for hurling. After he explained the game, everyone agreed it might work out. General Dori more or less spoke for all Israelis when he remarked, "My feel- ing is the more sports the bet- ter. Bring them all to Israel. Let's have a look at them. Base- ball, hurling, American foot- ball—let's try them out." Protective Anonymity Charge in Restrictions Private employment agencies in many parts of the country have thrown a "protective cur- tain" around discriminatory employers and have become the cat's-paw of job bias, the Anti- Defamation League of B'nai B'rith charged in a report on fair employment practices made public by Benjamin R. Epstein, its national director. As a result, the League de- clared, discriminatory employ- ers have been able to effect their restrictive policies behind the shield of anonymity, safe from public exposure. The League cited the use by employment agencies of secret symbols on their application forms and other elaborate cod- ing techniques to screen out job applicants belonging to minor- ity groups.

The statement was contained in the annual report of the or- ganization's commission on law and social action, presented at a quarterly meeting of the AJ Congress national administra- tive committee in New York. Leo Pfeffer, director of the Commission and a national authority on church-state law, delivered the report. In another action, the Con- gress called on Gov.

Dr. Norman estimates in his annual report for 1958 that the great majority of the Jewish farmers have managed to stay on their farms. Thousands of them were seriously affected by the changed conditions in the poultry industry, especially in the Northeast and in California. Since opportunities for new settlers have very much nar- rowed, the work of the Jewish Agricultural Society during last year was largely with estab- Gordon Gets Commission in Navy; Leaves for Pacific Samuel James Gordon, son of Mr. and Mrs. Saul Gordon, of W.
