Israel Museum Adding Youth Wing to Mark Its First Anniversary JERUSALEM — An immigrant from Yemen — side curls covering his ears — who had never visited a museum before was given life- long free entrance to the Israel Museum. He happened to be the half-mil- lionth visitor to the museum, ten months after its inauguration. The man, Shalom Amram, 33, af Bin- yamina believed that he won the prize because he had honored his old mother, having induced her to take the long bus trip to Holy Jerusalem on the feast of Passover. The Israel Museum, Jerusalem, was inaugurated in May 1965. Within one year nearly 600,000 people visited the museum. It has attracted some 20 per cent of the entire population of the country. On the occasion of its first an- niversary, the Israel Museum is adding a new section to the exist- ing ones. Apart from the Shrine of the Book, where the Dead Sea Scrolls are housed, the Billy Rose Art Garden, the Bezalel National Art Museum and the Samuel Bronf• man Biblical and Archaeological Museum, a Youth Wing is now be- ing opened. This wing will be divided into two parts, named after the do- nators: the Sather-Kennedy Class- rooms and Studios; the Hilda and Manasche Ben-Shlomo Auditorium and Exhibition Wing. As a special "birthday present" . the highest Israel prize of arts and science was given to the archi- tects of the museum—Professor Al Mansfeld and Mrs. Dora Gad. They _ won the Prize of Israel in Architec- ture for the design of the Israel Museum, which is composed of in- dependent-joint pavilions with roof suspended on pillars. Atlantic City Resolution Strikes at Arab Boycott (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) ATLANTIC CITY — The Atlan- tic City Council adopted a resolu- tion urging businessmen to refrain from any cooperation with the Arab League boycott against Israel.

The resolution said the city council was joining with the sec- - retary of commerce in "urging and requesting all businessmen to refrain from taking any action, • including the furnishing of in- formation or signing of agreements, which has the effect of further- ing or supporting restrictive trade practices or boycotts fostered or imposed by foreign countries against other foreign countries friendly to the United States." Yiddish Broadcasts Nixed if Brazil Chief Wins Out (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) RIO DE JANEIRO — A bill passed by Congress, permitting the use of foreign languages, in- cluding Yiddish, on Brazilian radio and television broadcasts, was vetoed Wednesday by Presi- dent Humberto Castelo Branco. Marshal Castelo Branco explain- ed that he was opposed to the use of foreign languages in broadcasting because he wants to avoid "the perpetuation of racial differences in the Brazilian com- munity" and because the govern- ment lacks the facilities to moni- tor broadcasts in all non-Portu- guese languages. The bill now goes back to Con- gress, in Brasilia, where the presi- dent's veto could be overridden by a two-thirds majority.
