Stratford Festival which already
is attracting guests from many
American communities, in addi-
tional to the Canadians who an-
nually flock to the festival here.

ers rank among the leading sup-
porters of the festival. There
were scores of Detroiters at the
shows last week-end and Michi-

the founder of the festival, Tom
Patterson, participated, Applebaum
was presented with an ivory baton

The operettas are being staged
in the remodeled Avon Theater

for designing its colorful costumes.

Moliere's "Le Bourgeois Gentil-
homme" are the season's three
major attractions which are draw-

them Suzanne Grossmann and Len

Latin American Anti-Semitism Subject of Parley
Scheduled by World Jewish Congress Executive

The implications and threats to
Latin American Jewry from re-
newed activities of anti-Semitic
groups with the support of Arab
League propagandists will be the
subject of consideration by the
World Jewish Congress at is five-
day world executive meeting open-
ing in Jerusalem Sunday.
Key officers of the world Jew-
ish body from Argentina, Bra-
zil, Chile,. Mexico, Uruguay and
other Latin American lands,
have been specially summoned.
The emphasis on Arab League
involvement and support of active
anti-Semitic groups sterns from
gathering reports of Arab League
backing of such organizations as
well as a mounting stream of anti-
Jewish invective in pro-Arab maga-
zines edited and issued by Arab
League representatives in Latin
America.
The WJC executive meeting will
receive reports and consider ac-

tion in connection with anti-Semi-
tic developments in other parts of
the world, as well as the problem
of restrictions on the rights of
Russian Jewry.
About 100 delegates from 30
countries will be present at the
conference, which will be opened
by President Zalman Shazar of Is-
rael and Dr. Nahum Goldmann,
World Jewish Congress president.
