WASHINGTON—Most Israeli
visitors to the United States
have excelled as informal am-
bassadors of goodwill. But, to
the embarrassment of the vast
majority of I s r a e l i s, the be-
havior of a few has left some-
thing to be desired.
Washington circles are cur-
rently discussing the contro-
versial remarks to the Amer-
ican press by the adolescent
author who trades on the dis-
tinguished name of her father,
an Israeli general. She per-
mitted herself to impugn the
chastity and morality of Israel's
teen-aged girls. Many Israelis
feel it was in bad taste for her
to tour America with such alle-
gations. They want to know if
such sensationalism is designed
to help the sale of her book.
The good name of Israel has
been exploited in a variety of
ways. One Israeli "girl soldier"
posed, lacking clothing, in a
p i c t u r e magazine so porno-
graphic that it is under investi-
gation by the United States Post
Office department. The shapely
young lady rebuffed criticism.
Her line was that Israeli girls
were entitled to the same pub-
licity as French, Swedish or
Italian starlets.
Another I s'r a e 1 i girl, who
came as a beauty contestant,
took an opposite approach. She
patronized a fine apparel store
owned by a philanthropist who

g e n erously backed Israeli
needs. Her taste was impec-
cable. She soon had a chic
wardrobe. The trouble came
when b i 11 s were eventually
rendered. Her response was
that the merchant should sup-
port Israel by keeping her -fash-
ionably gowned.
The State Department visa
office has had some difficulties
with Israelis, but no more than
in corresponding cases in which
other aliens are involved. A
source estimated that Israelis
gave approximately the same
amount of trouble per capita as
other temporary visa holders
who display reluctance to go
home.
Dorothy Kilgallen w rote
recently in her Broadway
column that "friends of Ziva
Rodann, 'Miss Israel,' confide
that she has a crush on the
Aga Khan, and vice versa—a
romance that would rock the
Moslem world if it reached
the serious stage." It would
also rock the Israeli world.
The girls are not entirely to
blame. An "Israeli" actor, also
popular as a singer, has traded
here on his nationality. He col-
lected large fees for singing
patriotic Israeli song s. It is
ironic that the Israeli Army
Provost Marshal would like to
see this individual set foot on
Israel territory, for he shirked
military service.
To what extent have Israelis
exploited the popularity of
their state for personal gain?
About the same amount as
Americans rode the crest of
American popularity during
World War II. American "cul-
ture" is today imitated in many
lands. Israel is one, to some
extent.
This annoys Americans who
demand 100 percent perfection
from Israel. Israelis are human
beings; some more admirable,
others less.
The Israeli government con-
siders the tiny fr a c ti on of
Israeli who make themselves
subject to criticism here as a
few silly people who do a dis-
service to their staff. Since
Israel is a democracy, some of
its citizens are hound to act like
the marginal few in any free
land.
The Is•raeli girls who come
seeking theatrical careers in-
clude some with real talent.
They should not be judged
by the others who bring ade-
quate pulchritude but little
else. Exaggerating their - mil-

Holman and Yeshiva
By HAROLD U. RIBALOW
(Copyright, 1960,
Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
At first glance, there's no re-
lationship between Yeshiva Uni-
versity and Nat Holman, con-
nected for 41 years with City
College. But early in this
basketball season, Yeshiva's
"Mighty Mites" beat CCNY
58-51. in the first game ever
played between the two schools.
Yeshiva was always minor
league and City was the big
time. But a ballplayer named
Willie Goldstein, with Yeshiva,
was the difference between the
clubs and Goldstein was saying,
after the game, that beating a
team coached by Holman was 'a
great thrill to him. "Just seeing
him sitting there on the bench
was a bang," Goldstein declared.
But soon after the Yeshiva
game, Holman asked for, and
received, a leave of absence
from CCNY. Nat is 63 and his
health seems to be less good
than it was. One of the greatest
basketball players of his own
era—the time of the old Celtics
—Nat also has been one of the
finest coaches of all time. He
had a bad period when his
"Cinderella" team was revealed
to have shaved points. It hurt
him and it hurt college basket-
ball. There are those who be-
lieve that the college game
hasn't yet emerged from the
shadows of the scandals earlier
in this decade. And surely, the
professional game has made so
much progress because, in part,
of the decline of the college
sport.
Holman had been head coach
at City for 37 seasons. And his
leave was the first taken for
health reasons in 41 years.
