Ina Balin, who scores high in
filmization of John O'Hara's
"From the Terrace," even out-
shining Paul Newman and
Joanne Woodward, is the daugh-
ter of Betty Friedman and Sam
Rosenberg of Brooklyn and was
born 23 years ago.
Ina's first professional ap-
pearance took place in summer
stock at the Lakes Region Play-
house in "Bus Stop" opposite
Cliff Robertson four years ago.
Later that year, she was one of
the five New York actresses
selected to test for "Marjorie
Morningstar," but returned to
New York without getting the
coveted role.
In 1957, she appeared on
Broadway in "Compulsion," but
took a leave when she was cast
in her first movie, "The Black
Orchid."
A year later, she was back
on the stage portraying Ger-
trude Berg's daughter in "Ma-
jority of One."

sist of four members named by
the government, and four others
named by the Chief Rabbinate.
All three justices agreed that
the Rabbinical Council had no
power to dismiss one of the
four members of the nominating
board previously appointed by
the Chief Rabbinate. This mem-
ber, Amram Aburavia, refused
to withdraw on orders of the
Rabbinate.
Two of the justices held that
the Rabbinate had withdrawn
its members of . the nominating
board only for the purpose of
paralyzing the board's activities.
The court expressed regret
that the rules for electing chief
rabbis have not been altered
by Israel. Those rules, deemed
by the court as "anachronistic,"
were established years ago by
the British mandatory power.
The court also deplored the
rift between Rabbi Yaacov
Toledano, Minister for Religious
Affairs, and the Rabbinical
Council, and the fact that
neither Rabbi Toledano nor the
Council participated in tnt. Su-
preme Court's hearings on the
dispute.

Henceforth—Every Trip
on Zim Liner Like Cruise
.
Although it is their regular
business to ply between New
York and Israel, every round-
trip voyage aboard the Zim
Lines' luxury passenger steam-
ships Israel and Zion, begin-
ning next - year, will be like a
Mediterranean cruise, accord-
.ing to Halmut Wittner, Zim
passenger traffic manager.
The liners are scheduled - to
make 19 round voyages in 1961,
with sailings in each direction
every third week. Commencing
with the Jan. 26 sailing of the
S/S Zion from New York, they
will call regularly at Funchal,
Madeira on their Eastbound voy-
ages, proceeding to Gibraltar,
Pirasus and Haifa. Westbound
they will call at Lima s s o l
(Cyprus), Naples, Marseilles,
Gibraltar and New York. The
ships will spend sufficient time
at each port to allow for sight-
seeing. The turn-around in
Israel is seven days.
Wittner pointed out that dur-
ing the thrift season (Aug. 23
to April 14 Eastbound—Nov.
1 to. June 21 Westbound), a
ten percent discount applies
to round-trip passage purchased
in advance.

EWING GALLOWAY
ICEBERGS or INCOMES?
To the practiced eye, on income of $25,000 or more
is not as impressive as you might suppose. Like an
iceberg, it's what lies below the surface that counts.
Taxes, living expenses, etc., can "melt" away almost
everything. This leaves precious little for the children's
education, bar mitzvahs, weddings, or other cherished
desires.
Yet, perhaps buried among a mass of statistics and
figures, may be an overlooked "Hidden Income" that
can rightfully be returned to you instead of the tax rolls.
For over 26 years Rudolf Leitman has specialized in
analyzing and reviewing the financial programs of some
of this country's most successful men and organizations.
His ability to go for below the surface and come up
with a sound, workable plan has returned hundreds of
thousands of dollars to full, productive use from idle
obscurity.
If you earn $25,000 or more annually and have
income-producing investments perhaps• you can benefit
from this wide range of experience.
A preliminary meeting at Mr. Leitman's office can
be arranged without obligation by phoning WOodward
