Y. 10) has published a 200- page confessional "by Avner." The jacket with the publish- ers' explanatory notes is of far greater interest than the book itself. Commencing with a quo- tation from the so-called killer organization's slogan. "Long live our friend, the machine gun! Long live our friend, the revolver!", the publishers state that the book is a confession of "one of the most trusted execution- ers of the Lehi (Stern Gang), is neither an apology nor an attempt to justify the actions of the Stern Gang. It is, rather, a forthright account of the crimes of an educated gunman who killed efficiently with no twinge of conscience or re- morse." The book was translated from the French by Burgo Partridge who does question some of the facts in t h e text. The au- thor, whose 'ife's story is .old in the . )oak and is re- erred to in h e transla- "or's note and )y the pub- .ishers, de- fended his Sevin statements with additional facts. Among the fantastic stories in the book is an account of a purported plot to assassinate the anti-Semitic British Foreign Minister, the late Ernest Bevin. The plotters failed in their ef- forts. In defense of Israel, we quote this explanation by the publishers on the book's jacket: "The author, now liv- ing in exile because the estab- lished State of Israel refuses to harbor men of his kind, was a killer by choice, not a fanatic dedicated to a cause." What interests this reviewer is not the fanatic's sentiments but the explanation that Israel rejects him. That's understand- able, if the story.in the book is true. It is not a fair account of Palestinian Jewry's and Israel's fight for freedom. The book itself is less impressive than the publishers' s t a t e m en t. "Memoirs of an Assassin" is a very dull story. It is not even a good mystery. Recently, we reviewed the stirring account of "Shai"—the Israeli "Sherut Yediot", the Jewish information or intelli- gence service which assisted in defending the Jewish position in Palestine. That was a true and an honorable account of Jewry's resistance to tyranny. That was not unpremeditated murder. In contrast with "Shai" by Efraim Dekel (also published by Yoseloff), we were repelled by "Memoirs of an Assassin." —P. S.

During the winter season (Nov. 1- March 15), groups of 25 persons and over coming to Israel on all- inclusive tours will enjoy an approximate 50% reduction on return flights from any city in western Europe. There are also special reduced rates for groups of six persons or more. During the summer season (June 15 - Oct. 31), fares for groups under the same condi- tions as above will be reduced by 40%. These rates are avail- able on all air lines servicing Israel. Happy Hanukah TUPPERWARE HOME PARTIES 9955-59 Southfield, Detroit 28, Michigan VE 7-7575
