writer and author of a number of
books dealing with the life in the
Nazi camps, of which he was an

Nazi terror.

LONDON—Yehudi Menuhin, the
world famous violinist, has been
named by Queen Elizabeth II an
honorary knight, Commander of
the Order of the British Empire, it
was announced here Tuesday.
Because he is an American citi-
zen, Menuhin, who resides here,
will not take the title "Sir," which
is reserved for British or Common-
wealth citizens. High British titles
such as the K.B.E. are normally
awarded to foreigners because of
their special services to Britain.
Menuhin, who was awarded the
title on recommendation of Prime
Minister Harold Wilson, has been
active in founding various music
festivals in this country.

A marked decline in building ac-
