Richard Tucker to Sing Here;
Career Is American Success Tale
Brooklyn-born and American-
trained operatic tenor Richard
Tucker, who comes to Ford Audi-
torium June 26 for a benefit per-
formance sponsored by the Hillel
Day School Building Fund, began
his singing career as a boy alto
in the Allen Street Synagogue on
New York's East Side. He worked
his way to stardom as a Wall
Street runner and in Manhattan's
garment center.
Tucker held the top cantorial
post at the Brooklyn Jewish Center
when his teacher, the late Metro-
politan Opera tenor Paul Althouse,
convinced him that he might use
his amazing gifts for operatic mas-
terpieces. His now historic Metro-
polit an Opera debut in "La
Gioconda" in 194,5 began a career
of international stardom. Today
the Met's highest paid and top
ranking tenor, he has sung more
than 450 performances with the
company.
The first American tenor ever
to record in Milan's La Scala, he
also boasts a fan club in the
Ashanti tribe of Accra, the result
of an eight-week tour of the Mid
dle and Far East under State
Department auspices, during which
he was heard by 250,000 people.
He holds the state of Israel's
first Artistic and Cultural Award,
an honorary doctorate of fine arts
from Notre Dame University and
Nazi War Criminals
Given Prison Terms
BONN (JTA) — Life imprison-
ment at hard labor was imposed
on former SS leader Anton Ipsling
by a Nuremberg court last week-
end for his role in murdering at
least 15 Jews at Camp Skarzyszko
Kamienna in Poland, of which he
was the commander. He denied
the accusation, but the presiding
judge asserted that, as head of the
camp, Ipsling had changed from
"a harmless citizen to a brutal
murderer." '
Fritz Hildebrand, 64, a former
SS lieutenant, was sentenced by a
Bremen court last weekend to life
imprisonment for murder and com-
plicity in the wartime murder of
more than 2,000 Jewish men,
women and children in three forc-
ed labor camps in occupied
Poland.
More than 220 witnesses were
heard during the 11-month trial,
his second on war crimes
charges. He was convicted of
having supervised the shooting
of 2,000 Jews, including children
in the Galicia district. He also
was found guilty of having ar-
ranged for the shooting, as "ex-
amples," of three Jews who tried
to escape from the Boryslaw
forced labor camp, of which he
a decoration as Commander in the
Order of Merit of the Italian Re-
public.

Ground to Be Broken
in Israel for Taft Library
NEW YORK—Jacques Torczy-
ner, president of the Zionist Or-
ganization of America, announced
that a library in memory of the
late Sen. Robert A. Taft will be
built in Kfar Silver, Israel, the
agricultural high school, in tribute
to Senator Taft's outstanding con-
tributions towards the establish-
ment of the state of Israel.
The ground-breaking ceremonies
will be held July 25 during the
70th ZOA jubilee convention in
Israel.
Congressman Robert Taft Jr.,
son of the late Senator and grand-
son of the late President William
Howard Taft, will go to Israel to
attend the cornerstone laying in the
presence of some 1,500 delegates
and guests to the convention. Is-
raeli Foreign Minister Abba Eban
will be a principal speaker.
The ZOA president, in reviewing
Senator Taft's long and consistent
championship to the cause of a
Jewish state, cited the fact that
Sen. Taft together with the late
Sen. Robert Wagner of New York,
were sponsors of the resolution
passed by both houses of the Con-
gress in December 1945 by almost
unanimous vote reaffirming the
support of the government and
people of the United States in
favor of a Jewish national home-
land in Palestine.

Fingerprints of Juan Falerno Mar-
tinez, arrested May 11 in Guate-

The Israeli Embassy here em-
phatically denied either that there
were any Israeli commandoes in-
volved in the suspect's seizure or
any other Israeli involvements in
the case.
The embassy, commenting on
press reports of Israeli participa-
tion, said "Israel has no interest
in Martin Bormann. Only Germany
is interested in him, since he had
been convicted and condemned by
the Nuremburg War Crimes Tri-
bunal."

THE UNIROYAL MASTER
IF IT SAVES YOUR 1LIFE ONCE...
IT'S A BARGAIN!
With Uniroyal Masters on your car, you'll never know when you
pick up a nail.
Because we put a Seal Rite lining in our tire. Seal Rite is a special
compound that covers the inside of the air chamber.
When you hit a nail or a spike, the lining grips the puncturing
object and seals in the air. Instead of a blowout, you get a slowout.
And it could make all the difference in the world.
