Bergen-Belsen Survivors Thank British Rescuers • LONDON (JTA)—Former Brit- ish Prime Minister Anthony Eden, now the Earl of Avon, paid tri- bute to the survivors of the Ber- gen-Belsen Nazi death camp and to the British medical officers and British troops who labored to save the surviving inmates when the camp was liberated. He was the guest of honor at a dinner given by Joseph and Hadas- sah Rosensaft, to mark the 20th anniversary of the liberation of the murder camp and to thank the Brit- ish peOple publicly, for the first time, for helping to rehabilitate the inmates. The dinner was given on behalf of the World Union of Belsen Survivors, of which Rosen- saft is president. Rosensaft lauded "all those lib- erated inmates who worked with unmatched courage and devotion to save those of their fellows who could still be saved." He also thanked the British "who dedicated themselves to salvaging lives," and recalled that "a number of those who came to help died on duty after contracting typhus, and they are buried with the victims of the Nazis."

The Poale Zion ("Workers of Zion") movement is as old as poli- tical Zionism.

In 1907, the Poale Zion groups held • Attorney 25 Years their first world conference at the Hague, where the World Federa- tion of Poale Zion was founded. The Federation was recognized as a special group, a Sonderver- band, in the World Zionist Organi- zation. The conference adopted a broad program covering the essen- tial aims of the movement, while leaving a considerable measure of autonomy to the constituent groups in all questions of doctrine and tac- tics. Leaders of the P o a I e Zion movement affirmed the possibili- ty of a synthesis of Zionism and Socialism. They were of the opinion that the most obvious evils of modern society should be rendered, impossible in the upbuilding of the new Jewish community in Palestine. They stood for the cooperative idea, particularly in the field of agri- culture; and it was due to their influence that the first coopera- tive settlements in Israel were created. After the first World War, the scope of Labor Zionist activity in the United States grew consider- ably. The Labor Zionists took the initiative in founding the National Labor Committee for Palestine, ONE Sfands Out! for CIRCUIT JUDGE HAROLD M.

Several thousand years later, the harp is again heard in Israel, as the third international harp competition gets under way at the Hebrew University. Twenty-nine contestants from 11 countries, including five from the United- States and three from So- viet Russia, are participating in the competition, believed to be the only one of its type. Among the judges is Vera Bulova of the Soviet Union, who performed to a standing ova- tion at an inaugural concert. First prize is a grand concert harp donated by Lyon Healy of Chicago (a good harp costs $3,500- $4,000 in the United States, al- though . smaller Italian harps cost as little as $1,000). Second prize is $2,000 presented by Mrs. Harpo Marx, widow of the comedian, who was an accomplished self-taught harpist. She will also donate her husband's two instruments to music institutions in Israel.
