Bloomfield 10 Mile & Greenfield Southfield NEW YORK — Pianist Arthur Rubinstein, during his brief visit to Jerusalem where he gave a concert on the occasion of. the 27th an- niversary celebrations of the state of Israel, insisted on being taken to his forest . before leaving the country. The Rubinstein Forest is located near the Kennedy Memorial and Peace Forest just outside Jerusalem. In a brief address, he expressed his profound emption upon seeing the trees, some of which he and his wife had planted with their own hands five years earlier. The Rubinstein Forest now numbers many thou- sands of trees planted by the Jewish National Fund in' tribute to the artist.

The author also shares his frustration at his aging dad's determination to continue to run the Jewish bakery that had become his whole life. "He had a religious and dedicated view of a baker. `People,' he would repeat - to the end of his days, 'people, the Jewish people of Day- ton, are entitled to have a kosher piece of bread.' To that end he dedicated his life." In all fairness, however, "America the Beautiful" is not a total disaster. The hook, supplemented with photographs of Balshone's family, offers vivid descrip- tions of the early 1900s.

Israeli intelligence agents have captured more than a dozen terrorist agents since that time, using lists of names found during the commando raid. They in- clude Arabs living in Brit- ain, France, Italy, Israel and the occupied territories. Among those detained during visits to Israel was Albib Alwan, a post-gradu- ate student at the Univer- sity of London. He was given a four-year sentence for spying, and implicated and testified against an Englishwoman who was his El Fatah contact. 7 x7 rt r.
