Shown here are workers at the Dimona Fibers plant, which employs 650 persons on three shifts and utilizes 56 spinning machines of the latest design with 24,000 spindles to manu- facture cotton fiber. The textile factory also produces synthetic fibers and mixtures of synthetic and natural fibers for yarns and fabrics. Built in 1960 with Israel Bond allocations, the plant exports 60 per cent of its production. It is one of the major industrial enter- prises which have been constructed since Dimona was established as a Negev development town ten years ago.

W. of John R, Hazel Park David Rubin is well qualified to write a novel whose characters and settings are related to India. He has taught English at several col- leges, including two in India—at the Universities of Allahabad and Jaipur. He is presently teaching in this country at Sarah Lawrence College. In "Cassio and the Life Divine," published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (19 Union Sq. W., NY 3), his chief character is Peter Cassio, a half Jew, whose Jewish back- ground and associations with some Jews and a non-Jew who desires to convert to Judaism, frequently crop up. The chief factor in the story is the Swami whose cult influences many of the characters, with whom Cassio also becomes involved. There are love affairs, factors of marital complications, family involvements, Cassio's back- ground and his kinsmen. Interesting if complicated views of human values enter into the numerous discussions. There are dialogues along these lines in the novel that are sup e r b , and the author's splendid style make this a good novel. There is a chase for a girl desired by Cassio, and there is the Swami's "spook racket" that weaves well into the narrative. The numerous episodes in the Best Wishes For A Happy and Prosperous New Year From AU Who Serve You at story bring Cassio in contact with a variety of characters. The son of a Neapolitan father and a Greek-Jewish mother, Cas- sio's family, including his brother and sister as well as his parents' relationship, is described as fol- lows: "We were brought up Catholic because Pops said he didn't want to be the only Papist in Carris- brooke; it was enough for Mam- ma to be the only Jew, but the Church (which meant a five- mile bike ride to St. Francis' in Millbridge, that was the best of it) never got us hooked and I guess for all the simplicity of our lives we were a fairly pagan crew. We had a dim sense (be- cause Pops was Neapolitan) that compassion was more important than justice and (because Mam- ma was Jewish) one shouldn't count on much of either in the world, and the three of us, Ma- rina, John and I, being the sort of hardy hybrids we were, didn't give religion a second thought after we all stopped going to church when John was 14, Ma- rina and I 12." Such is the commentary on mix- ed results of an intermarriage. And there also is a brief discussion of name-changing and of escapism. When Cassio's friend Morton Ber- ger decides to change his name to Marton Burgess there is this inter- change: Cassio calls the change "an irra- tional intuition," Mort says "there is no such thing," and Cassio re- plies: "If you've found illumination what the hell difference does your name make?" and Mort's "usual way of logic was expressed in: "Exactly, so why not change it? The half of you that's Jewish doesn't show in your name. If you hadn't signed your name Cohen- Cassio at Columbia, who would have known?" And Cassio replied: "God and I. Who cares who knows what? If you don't want to be a Jew, don't be one—it's up to you alone and it ought to matter to you alone." Thus, in "Cassio," Rubin intro- duces an interesting Jewish angle while dealing with cultism, loves, religious conflicts, human ele- ments. Rubin writes well and tells his story well. Happy New Year Wrigiqy `Situations Alter Cases'— Indian Envoy Explains Double Borders Standard Best Wishes For A Happy New Year KARL GUTMAN CUSTOM TAILOR WASHINGTON (JTA)—Indian Ambassador B. K. Nehru, appear- ing before the National Press Club, indicated that India sees no contradiction in its support of Arab claims to revert the Israeli borders to the 1947 Partition Plan as against India's refusal to adjust the Kashmir boundaries. Nehru said that India's policy is to support the status quo of boundaries or change according to a particular case. He strongly op- posed a change in the Kashmir boundary. He made the comments in re- sponse to a question from the audience, seeking an explanation of how India's Kashmir border stand squared • with her backing of Arab boundary claims against Israel. 13620 W.
