Almost Ready for Big '64 Splash

Resplendent in a new coat oi gleaming white paint and her
name in bold block letters on her bows, the new Israeli luxury
liner Shalom (Peace) is now in the final stages of fitting out
prior to her maiden voyage in the spring of 1964. The 23,000
gross ton, fully air conditioned $20 million liner is being built
for the Zim Israel Navigation Co. Ltd., at St. Nazaire, France,
and is designed for both trans-Atlantic service between New
York and Israel and winter cruising. When completed, the
Shalom will accommodate 1100 passengers in first and tourist
classes. She will boast 11 decks, 16 public rooms, eight eleva-
tors, three . swimming pools, a tennis court, gym, steam baths
and closed circuit TV. Leading Israeli, French, Italian and
American artists comprise an international team that will turn
the Shalom's interiors into a showplace of modern elegance.
The largest single pieces of artwork will be two 18x21 foot
murals by the Mexican master, Rufino Tamayo.

Nasser Voices New Threat on Israel,
May Be Bolstered by Khimshchev

LONDON (JTA) — Egyptian
President Gamal Abdel Nasser
said his armed forces were pre-
paring to "wash out the defeat
in Palestine in .1948,'_' accord-
ing to reports• received here
from Cairo.
He made the statement in a
speech to troops returning from
Yemen. He also said that dis-
armament was impossible until
the "rights" of the Arabs of
Palestine were restored.
Soviet Primier Nikita. S.
Khrushchev will visit Cairo
in the next two months, in an
effort to bolster the prestige
of Egypt's President Gamal
Abdel Nasser, it was reported
here.

Khrushchev's scheduled visit
to Egypt has been on the
agenda for a long time, but the
timing of the visit in the early
fall was said by observers here
to result from a desire by the
Soviet chief to revive Nasser's
bid for Middle East hegemony
at this time, when Nasser faces
opposition by dissident Arab
forces lined up with the Baath
Party in Iraq and Syria.
Nasser is reportedly plan-
ning to use the forthcoming
Khrushchev visit as "proof"
that he is still the foremost
leader, not only of the Arab
world but also of Africa as a
whole.

Canon Probed in Independent List Wins Two Seats
Rowley's 'Growth At Local Election in Ashdod
of Old Testament First Time in Israel's History

Dr. H. H. Rowley of Man-
chester University renders val-
uable aid to students of the
Bible who seek explanations of
the biblical divisions in "The
Growth of the Old Testament,"
which Harper & Row (49 E.
33rd, NY16) just issued as a
Cloister Library Torchbook
paperback.
Originally published in Eng-
land in 1950 and thereafter re-
issued in five more editions,
this paperback deals with The
Law (Pentateuch), The Former
Prophets, The Latter Prophets,
The Writings and The Canon.
The introduction describes
the three parts into which the
Hebrew Canon is divided, and
explains that all of the books in
the three divisions (Torah,
Nebiim, Ketubim — Law, Pro-
phets, Writings) are in Hebrew,
except for the few Aramaic
passages—the verse, x. 11 in
Jeremiah, which he lists as
"probably a gloss and not orig-
inal in the book"; the chapters
in Ezra, iv. 8 to vi. 18 and vii.
12-26, and those in Daniel, ii.
4b to vii. 28.
"The text of the Old Testa-
ment," Prof. Rowley declares,
"has had a long history since
the books left the hands of
the writers or editors who
gave them their present form.
For many centuries they were
copied by hand, and despite
the unusual care which they
received - involuntary errors
inevitably crept in. More-
over until long after the be-
ginning of the Christian era
the text contained no vowels,
and many passages were cap-
able of more than one inter-
pretation."
It is to the latter question
that Prof. Rowley devotes his
book and utilizes the opinions
of many critics in his study.
While "Biblical criticism" in-
volving some of the authorities
referred to often is rejected in
orthodox quarters, his approach
is interesting and valuable, and
the views he has gathered and
edited and the opinions he has
expressed deserve considerable
interest and attention. There is
much to be learned from his
study and opinions like Well-
hausen's again come under
scrutiny from this study.
The process of canonization is
explained. The author's ap-
proach is, of course, from the
viewpoint of a Christian who
has probed into the Hebrew
Canon.

Ben Bella Again
Quoted Opposing
Israel Existence

Algerian Premier Ahmed Ben
Bella's anti-Israel attitude was
in evidence again this week
when Israel was accused of
plotting against his govern-
ment.
Announcing the arrest of 20
Algerians and 10 foreigners in
Eastern Algeria's Grand Kaby-
lie region on charges of con-
ducting a guerilla network, In-
formation Minister Mouloud
Balehouane charged the for-
eigners with being "nearly all
Israelis." He said "Premier Ben
Bella never made any secret of
his opposition to Israel." He
quoted Ben Bella saying that
"Israel was an imperialist crea-
tion" and, added: "For us there
is only Arab Palestine."

The Michigan State Fair ranks
third in the nation in attend-
ance. Only Texas (which runs
six more days) and Minnesota
exceed it. Last year 1,002,681
attended the Michigan State
Fair. This year even more are
expected between Friday, Aug.
23, and Monday, Sept. 2.

TEL AVIV — For the first
time in Israel political history,
an independent list surprised
observers Wednesday by a suc-
cessful bid for seats in a local'
election.
Political pundits said that if
the parties regarded the elec-
tions in Ashdod as a test case
for future political changes,
they would have to take the
Ashdod results very seriously.
The dominant Mapai lost one
seat in the Ashdod council and
will retain only three. The reli-

Winnipeg Beach Man
Gets $500 Fine for
Open Anti-Semitism

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

WINNIPEG — A 22-year-old
Winnipeg Beach man was fined
$500 Wednesday by Magistrate
Wally Darichuk, in the Selkirk
police court, for shouting anti-
semitic remarks over a loud-
speaker he had set up June 30
at Winnipeg Beach. The man,
Brian Isfeld, was given until a
week from Wednesday to pay
the fine, plus costs, or go to jail
for six months.
Winnipeg Beach had been the
scene of repeated anti-Semitic
manifestations a n d swastika
smearing earlier this summer,
but the Royal Canadian Mount-
ed Police acted vigorously, ar-
resting a number of anti-Se-
mites.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg Beach
held municipal elections, in
which a leading Jewish resi-
dent, Lawrence E. Tapper, was
chosen mayor. Tapper attribut-
ed his triumph to the reaction
"by the non-Jewish element" in
the community against the anti-
Semitic manifestations.

Edward G. Robinson, the actor,
has been having a try at art,
and he says, "I've gotten so that
I can always hit the canvas when
I throw some paint on it."

gious parties will retain • three
seats also. Herut which had ex-
pected two seats, and Achdut
Avodah each held their one seat
and the Liberals managed to
win a seat.
The most striking outcome
was the bid of former Mapai
Mayor Robert Chaims' inde-
pendent list for which he was
expelled from the party. The
list won two seats and Mapai
immediately said it was ready
to cooperate in any coalition
except with Herut and the dis-
sidents, meaning Chaims' inde-
pendent list.
As a result of the shake-up,
it appeared that a Mapai-Reli-
gious-Achdut coalition of seven
seats might be formed with a
religious mayor. However, there
was also a possibility of a coali-
tion of independents with lib-
erals and religious party mem-
bers, excluding Mapai altogeth-
er.
Both Mapai and Herut offi-
cials blamed the dissident list
for their losses and geared for
a similar struggle in Beersheba
in two weeks where, again, a
dissident list headed by a for-
mer Mapai leader, David Chah-
am, will be entered.
