Mrs. Gandhi Adheres
to Anti-Israel Policy
NEW DELHI (ZINS) — The
newly elected Prime Minister of
India, Madame Indira Gandhi, has
retained the bad
legacy of her
predecessors,
Nehru and Shas
tri, by refusing
to change India's
anti-Israel policy,
according to re-
ports from relia-
ble sources. In
the past, Israeli
_diplomats exert-
/ — ed strenuous ef-
forts in their at-
tempt to influ-
ence Madame
Gandhi, who was
then Minister of
Information, b u t
to no avail. It is Mrs. Gandhi
sufficient to mention that her ad-
visor and confidential friend was
Krishna Menon, who is well-known
far his virulent attacks against
Israel.

the day he was
fired from his
first job . as office
boy w h the
Commercial Ca-
ble Co.
T h e unlikely-
but-true story of
the RCA execu-
tive's h a v in g
once been fired
from a job is told
in the biography,
Sarnoff
David Sarnoff,"
by Eugene Lyons, to be published
Feb: 28, the day after Gen. Sarn-
off's 75th birthday.
For several years, the yo u n g
David had been adding $1.50 a
week to his family's meager in-
come by singing in a synagogue
choir. ••
Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kip-
pur were about to start. For the
cantor and his small choir it was
the most important season of the
year. For many weeks they had
been rehearsing, and they were
looking forward to the day-long
rituals. 'There was also to be extra
pay. -
David approached the office
manager of the Commercial Cable
Co. and explained he would need
three days off without pay because
he must sing in a synagogue. There
was a brusque refusal. Said the
manager, "Messages must be de-
livered, holidays or no holidays."
The young David was almost in
tears. He could not let the choir
down. "I must sing," he said. "I'm
the solo soprano and without me
the choir would be crippled."
"All right," the manager told
him, "take the days off, but you
needn't come back. You're fired."
For David there was to be a sec-
ond humilation. His singing came
to an end that same Yom Kippur
day, for his- soprano tones were
cracking with the advent of man-
hood, and he lost his job with the
choir.

Holland. On his return to Israel
he founded and was appointed
director of the Fishery and Nau-
tical School at Mevo'ot Yam, in
1950.
In the years that followed he

lawi. He was appointed to his pre-
sent post as director of nautical
