HOLLYWOOD — Franz Werfel's
classic, "The Forty Days of Musa
Dagh," dealing with the extermin-
ation of the Armenian minority in
the war-torn Turkish empire of
1915, will be brought to the screen
by Elliott Kastner and Jerry Gersh-
win for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer —
a studio owning the literary prop-
erty since 1935 when the late Irv-
ing Thalberg first initiated the
project. Written by Werfel at the
eve of Hitler's rise to power, it
foreshadows the scheme of geno-
cide then already contemplated by
the Nazis.
The young team of Kastner and
Gershwin plan to shoot the Werfel
epic early in 1970 — exactly 35
years after a first attempt failed.

TORONTO (JTA) — A left-wing
Yiddish weekly published here is
feuding with two other leftist per-
iodicals on the issue of anti-Semi-
tism. The focus of the polemics be-
tween Joshua Gershman, editor of
Vochenblatt, and Dyson Carter,
who edits the Northern Neighbor,
is not the current situation of Jews
in Russia but whether Jews sup-
ported or opposed Lenin, leader
of the Bolshevik Revolution.
Gershman also has taken issue
with the Russian-language left-
wing organ, Vestnik, which sug-
gested recently that Jews think
they are beyond criticism because
they suffered at the hands of Hit-
ler.

The Vocbenblatt editor ob-
jected to Carter's reaction to his
criticism of an advertisement for
a new edition of a book by Lenin.
The advertisement, published in
the Northern Neighbor, claimed
that Jews fought against Lenin
and the Revolution and that
"Jewish nationalist poisons" like
Zionism and Bundism were res-
ponsible for anti-Semitism in
Russia.
"Why pick out the Jews who op-

posed Lenin? What about the tre-
mendous number of Jews who went
hand in hand with Lenin in all his
struggles until after the establish-
ment of the world's first Socialist
state?" Gershman wrote.
In reply to Vestnik, he declared
that no 'Jewish society ever ac-
cepted the idea that a Jewish of-
fender should go unpunished be-
cause of Jewish suffering.

movie• "Tell Me That You Love
Me, Junie Moon," based on Mar-
jorie Kellogg's best selling novel
which has been acclaimed by crit-
ics here and abroad.

Joseph L. Mankiewicz, producer-
director of the forthcoming Kirk
Douglas starred. "There Was a
Crooked Man," terms the picture
"a cynical western, based on the
proposition there's a little bit of
bad in every good man."
Kirk Douglas is Paris Pitman,
the wily head of a gang of robbers
who has been sent to prison after
successfully hiding the 9500,000
loot. He lives only to escape, and
central to his plan is the corrup-
tion of the warden played by Hen-
ry Fonda.
