Film Makers Sue Roth
for Letting Them Go
HOLLYWOOD — The author of
"Portnoy's Complaint" has film
makers complaining—to the tune
of a 93.000,000 suit.
Producer Mark Richman and
director Harvey Hart are seeking
an injunction to stop Philip Roth
from selling movie rights to his
novel "Letting Go" claiming they
purchased the rights in July 1965.
They are complaining that Roth
ditched them after "Goodby
Columbus" was filmed and "Port-
noy's Complaint" became a best
seller.

works, such as Leon Uris' "Exo-
dus." Morris E. West took the
activities of a prominent character
in "The Silent Warriors" to build
"The Tower of Babel."
But once having read it one also
realizes that to have fictionalized
"The Silent Warriors" would have
been to eliminate its real value,
that it is a collection of true
stories. There are other values,
but this is number one—the work
concerns perhaps the most im-
portant nation in the world today,
Israel.

McNichols,
More significant, however, is the
revealing story of the efforts that
went /into frustrating the second
phasd of "the first solution to the
JewiSh problem"—Egypt's utterly
diab lical plan, using escaped
Nazi and German scientists, to
anni ilate the Jews of Israel.
Joshua Tadmor is not a great
storyteller but that doesn't matter,
and/ it is probably no fault of his,
for it will be another generation or
two before truly great Israeli liter-
ary figures emerge to stimulate
the world mind. ,
However, Tadmor doesn't need
to be a storyteller in this case, for
he is an Israeli, a soldier—a silent
warrior, and he understands the
people he writes about. That is his
value to the book, his understand-
ing. It is about people, not spies:
about determination, not spying;
about life, not death; about love,
not hate.

his family, his identity and his
life to furnish vital details of
Syrian fortifications along Is-

under the noses of Syrian intelli-

are the details, also for the first
time, of the Israeli coup that
sabotaged a shipment of Czech

them to Israel during the early,
dark days of the country's strug-
