THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Beret Satt Sculptures, Schaver Gift
to Israel, Shown in Los Angeles
A unique exhibit of 42 "Wood
Sculptures of the Shtetel" carved
by Berel Satt, is attracting un-
precedented crowds of viewers to
the University of Judaism in Los
Angeles.
Presented by the university's
school of fine arts in cooperation
with the Morris L. Schaver Foun-
dation of Detroit, the sculptures
capture a by-gone era of Jewish
life in Eastern European villages.
Exhibited in many major museums
throughout the United States and
abroad, the works have resulted in
the highest praise for Satt's artist-
ry and imaginativeness. The col-
lection, first shown at the World
Jewish Congress sessions in Stock-
holm in 1959, will be sent to Israel
for permanent display.
At the opening of the exhibit, an
invitational audience of west coast
dignitaries heard Emma Schaver
of Detroit present a concert of
Hebrew and Yiddish folk songs as
part of the exhibit. She was ac-
companied by Erwin Jospe, dean,
university's school of fine arts.
Emma Schaver and her late hus-
band, Morris, purchased the entire
exhibit and presented it to the
State of Israel for permanent dis-
play,
Participating with Emma Scha-
ver on the opening program were
Dr. William Kramer, member of
the school of fine arts faculty, and
the 85-year old artist, Berel Satt.
Born in Poland, Satt spent many
years on his unusual wood carv-
ings. At an early age, he made
clay caricatures of familiar vil-
lage types. Apprenticed to a carv-
er of tombstones at 14, he worked
at this trade until he went to Eng-
land at 21. For five years he
worked in a furniture factory,
carving the elaborate designs then
in fashion.
In 1908 he came to New York
and found work restoring antiques.
It took many years before he found
time to do the work he wanted—
to recreate in wood the. people and
places he had known in Poland.
Coming to Los Angeles in 1927
he sharpened his tools and started
carving. He carved in bas-relief, in
I
white rock maple, and in the
round. Many years later, 42 wood
carvings capture the poverty and
nobility of the village which no
longer exists.
Israel Is Able
to Secure Arms,
Eshkol Reveals
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol reported with
satisfaction July 7 that Israel no
longer had any difficulties in get-
ting from western countries arms
for its defense. Speaking at grad-
uation ceremonies at the National
Defense College, the premier nev-
ertheless voiced the hope that the
"day will come when East and
West will get together to promote
disarmament in the Middle East."
At the same time Israel's for-
eign minister was reported indi-
c•ting Israel's opposition to a Un-
ited Nations plan 'to reduce the
UN Truce Supervision Organiza-
tion forces in Sinai and Gaza Strip
border areas. Conferring for more
than an hour with Dr. Ralph
Bunche, UN Political Undersecre-
tary who arrived July 6 in Jerus-
alem from a visit to Arab coun-
tries, Eban was reported as mak-
ing it clear that Israel opposes any
reduction in UN forces which it
feels has ensured peace on those
borders.
It was reported that Eban cited
also the fact that Arab refugees
recruited into the Palestine• Liber-
ation Organization army continue
to live in camps of the United Na-
tions Relief and Works Agency and
receive UNRWA rations. The Is-
rael foreign minister also report-
edly raised the long-standing is-
sue of Jordan's refusal to admit
Israeli Jews to Jewish Holy Places
now in Jordan's jurisdiction.
Bunche conferred yesterday for
40 minutes with Premier Levi Esh-
kol in what was described as a gen-
eral review. Bunche was accom-
panied at both meetings by UNTSO
Chief of Staff Gen. Odd Bull.

Commons Asked
to Move Against
Nazi-Style Club
LONDON (JTA) — A war crimes
expert who is a member of Parlia-
ment asked in the House of Com-
mons for government action
against -the "Greater Britain Move-
ment" which _distributes a Nazi-
style program through a private
club arrangement.
Lord Russell of Liverpool asked
whether criminal proceedings
could be brought against the move-
ment, which he said could best be
described as the Nazi party of
Britain, under the Race Relations
Act of 1965. A government spokes-
man replied that the movement's
literature was not distributed to
the public at large and that there-
fore its sponsors probably could
not be prosecuted under that .law.
