HAIFA — After a stormy five-
hour meeting Monday night, the
Council of the Haifa Port Workers
decided to reject a call from His-
tadrut, Israel's labor federation,
to return to normal work opera-
tions and thus end a five-week
slowdown which was crippling port
operations.
The council decided to continue
to slow down until all their de-
mands, including a substantial
wage boost, were met.
Dozens of ships remained tied
up in the harbor waiting their turn
to be unloaded. Shipping lines
operating between Haifa and
Scandinavian countries gave two
weeks' notice of imposition of a
surcharge effective on June 13.

WASHINGTON (JTA)—Hearings
have started in the Senate on a
bill to establish a National Senior
Community Service Corps based on
the Senior Service Corps program
of the National Council of Jewish
Women. The bill is sponsored by
Sen. Harrison A. Williams, New
Jersey Democrat, who has sub-
mitted the success of the NCJW
project as proof of the desirability
of federal sponsorship of similar
activities.
The proposed federal agency
would employ adults aged 60 and
over for jobs with community and
non-profit parttime agencies. Mrs.
Myron Barg of Philadelphia, consul-
tant to the NCJW,. appeared on be-
half of the measure before the
Special Sub-Committee on Aging
of the Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee. She said the
NCJW project had uncovered many
retirees with needed skills and wil-
lingness to serve in community
agencies which urgently need such
volunteer help. The NCJW has
started senior service activities in
13 cities.

Partisan Organization
Charges Composer of
Israel Opera Is Nazi
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

TEL AVIV — The Organization
of Partisans and Anti-Nazi fighters
in Israel charged Tuesday that a
cantata to be presented next week
by the Israel National Opera was
the "work of a nazi composer."
The opera director called the
charge "fantastic."
The cantata, "Carmina Buranaz,"
was composed by Carl Orff, 71, who
wrote the piece in 1937 as a work
for orchestra, ballet and actors.
The partisans group called on the
public to boycott the performance
and to do everything possible to
force its cancellation.
Mrs. Edis de Phillippe, the di-
rector, said that the Israel Na-
tional Opera had received a per-
mit from the film and theater
censorship board to present the
work and that it had been broad-
cast several times by Kol Israel
and Galel Zahal.
Mrs. de Phillippe said there was
no indication that the composer
had ever been connected with the
Nazi movement in any way. She ad-
j
ded it was "worth noting that he
had been married to a Jewish
woman for many years."
The Organization of Partisans
and Anti-Nazi Fighters was form-
ed earlier this year as a roof or-
ganization of four partisans and
anti-Nazi groups representing vir-
tually every shade of Israeli poli-
tical opinion.

Philadelphia Publisher
Israeli Producer- to Keep
Film From Berlin Festival

PARIS — Menahem Golan, the
Israeli film producer, disclosed
here Wednesday he had decided
not to present his film, "The Girl
of the Dead Sea" for the fiLm
festival in Berlin because of the
problems of relations between
Israelis and Germans.
He said he made his decision
after a campaign in parts of the
Israeli press apposing the develop-
ment of cultural relations between
Israel and West Germany. He
said he had notified the Israel
government that, to avoid offense
to Israelis opposed to such rela-
tions, he had decided not to go
to Berlin. A committee had chosen
the film to represent Israel at the
Berlin festival scheduled for the
end of June.
When Abraham Hart turned eighteen, in
1829, he was as busy with books as today's
eighteen-year-old. But in a different way.
Hart's involvement with books was as a
partner with Edward Carey in a.thriving
publishing house.
Hart and Carey helped establish Phil-
adelphia as the book center of the 1830s.
Sensitive to new talent, they published a
book authored by • an unknown English
writer, William Makepeace Thackeray.
Thus they launched a talent which was to
produce a recognized literary classic,
Vanity Fair.
Pioneer publishers, Hart and Carey
were the first to collect the essays of
Macauley, first to publish an illustrated
edition of Longfellow's poems. Among
the others in their library of authors
were novelist James Fenimore Cooper,
poet Edgar Allan Poe and essayist Ralph
Waldo Emerson. Hart also published
Jewish literature,translated into English,
which added to the culture of America.
Hart's ability as a publisher won the
respect of the founders of America's great
publishing houses, men like Scribner,
Putnam, Harper and Lippincott.
Upon retiring from publishing in 1854,
Hart worked actively for religion and
charity. He served as Parnass of Mikvah
Israel, one of the oldest Jewish Congrega-
tions in America. He held office in Phila-
delphia's Hebrew Education Society, in
Maimonides College and in the Jewish
Foster Home and Orphan Asylum. As a
final recognition, Hart was elected Presi-
dent of the Board of Delegates of Amer-
ican Israelites, the first group which at-
tempted to unite all of American Jewry.
