Leslie Gourse of Providence, R.I., is 22. She visited Israel twice—before the Sinai campaign in 1956 and again in 1959. Out of her experiences she developed the theme incorporated in her full-length novel, "With Gall and Honey," which has been pub- lished by Doubleday. Miss Gourse was the winner of the 1959 Doubleday-Columbia Option Award for the best par- tial manuscript submitted in that year. Her interesting novel, on the basis . of which she received the award, proves that she pos- sesses literary skill. "With Gall and Honey" is the story of Andrea Mornatnai, a New York Jewish girl of 18, who leaves for a two-month Israeli visit, bids goodbye to her father and proceeds to befriend the fellow-students who are on the journey with her on the Israeli boat. Her mother had died when she was a youngster, but we learn later that her mother, too, before she married her father, had been to Israel and had de- voted herself to aiding the refugees who came there. On the boat, Andrea -befriends and immediately falls in love with a Venezuelan young Jew, Luis Manuel, who is returning to his kibbutz in Israel after a visit with his family. - It's a love affair at first sight, and they are in each other's arms the first night of their meeting. The relationship continues in Israel. They practically live to- gether in Jerusale a month, go to the kibb Luis learns t and it is th is pregnant.

She goes to Elath, comes back to Jerusalem to live, "elated, with head erect." Before going to Elath she explains to Chave, who was an the boat with her, that "love is a grand thing when it concerns the tangible flesh." Thus, "With Gall and Honey" offers youth's definitions of love — and introduces the reader to modern youth's lack of inhibitions and all-too-free ac- tions. The love affair with Luis is only part of the story-. Andrea also meets and befriends Anan Reuveni, who had had a love affair with her/mother while she was in Israel. Apparently Anan wishes to relive the love - affair of more than 20 years ago with the daughter of his former be- loved. That portion is less con- vincing. Miss Gourse writes freely about sex as well as life in Israel. She blunders a bit when, in relating the experiences of Andrea's mother, tells about, her having cared for refugees who had num- bers tattooed on their arms in concentration camps. The retro- spect is unreal. Counting up the years—Andrea's 18, the inter- vening years before her mother's marriage and the years she spent in Israel, there could already have been escapees from con- centration camps with tattooed arms in Israel. But this may be an author's license, although that error was unnecessary. In "With Gall and Honey" s Gourse does have occasio n to late a bit about kibbutz li fe. He ovel is most effective w hen she describes Andrea's e xperi- en in the hospital while caring for. e wounded and dy ing who brought back fr om the at campaign. Here sh e excells a narrator. A bit too unreal is the speed with which Miss Gourse throws her heroine, unqu estioningly and unhesitatingly, into the arms of the first boy s he takes a liking to on her se a voyage to Israel, Miss Gourse nevertheless shows genuine ab ility as a writer. GENEVA, (JTA)—A $7,000,- 000 program for providing voca- tional training to underprivi- leged communities in 20 coun- tries, was announced by the World ORT Union, at_the clos- ing session of a meeting of the organization's executive com- mittee here.
