Partovich 546-4452 Co-Chairman, Stewart Silverman 547-2329 HOLLYWOOD — Leo Fuchs has returned to the American stage' and screen after recuperating from a serious operation. The al- most legendary Yiddish comedian now portrays a dramatic role in "No Knife," a comedy with tragic under- tones, currently before the cameras for Warner Bros. at MGM studios with Robert Aldrich directing for pro- ducer Mace Neufeld. The period picture, writ- ten by Michael Elias and Frank Shaw, opens in Po- land around 1800 during a meeting of the board of rab- bis in the community when the chief rabbi (Leo Fuchs) selects a pious young man, who has studied the English language, to go to the city of San Francisco where the Jewish families are in dire need of a religious leader. The youthful scholar carries with him to America a Torah for his flock to study and for his own protection. Gene Wilder is the nimble young rabbi who moves about with Chaplinesque gait fighting off ignorance and anti-Semitism. Entangled with some brutish characters who try to make his life unbearable, he overcomes all obstacles to his religious calling, but not before he is forced by circumstances to kill a threatening adversary with YESHIVAT AKIVA Akiva Hebrew Day School respectfully requests the pleasure of your company at their 15th Anniversary Dinner Sun., March 4th, 1979 Congregation Beth Achim Cocktails 6 P.M.

He swears never to use a weapon again, "No Knife," as the title of the film implies. Riding at Gene's side through the Western territory is Har- rison Ford, youthful hero of "Star Wars" and "Force 10 From Navarone." Leo Fuchs says the countenance of the white- bearded Polish sage in "No Knife" is almost identical with the one of the rabbi in Sholem Asch's "Salvation" of 36 years ago, in which the character grew and declined from 16 to 85.

Kreisky Gives Jewish Views VIENNA (ZINS) — "The Times in Which We Live" is the title of a book by Aust- rian Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, which is expected to make its appearance at the end of February. In a fragment from this book, which was published in the local press, Kreisky talks about his relationship to Judaism and Zionism. Kreisky contends that there is no such thing as a unique Jewish race. He writes that Jews are to be found in all parts of the world and that their physi- cal appearance is more simi- lar to the people with whom they live than to any so- called prototype of a unique Jewish race. The Jews of Po- land and of Germany are very far removed from and completely dissimilar from the Jews of Morocco and Yemen, Kreisky writes. Speaking of his feelings about Zionism, he says, "The Zionists contend that the only answer to the Jewish question is the state of Israel. Only there do Jews Abzug Hits Scapegoat Role WASHINGTON — After an angry exchange with President Carter last week, Bella Abzug was fired as co-chairwoman of • the President's National Advi- sory Committee on Women. Mrs. Abzug was told that she was fired by President- ial aides Hamilton Jordan and Robert Lipshutz. Mrs. Abzug, who has been an outspoken and stormy critic during her tenure with the committee, askeo the two aides, "Why am I being made a scapegoat?" She said Lipshutz, the President's counsel, exploded at the use of the word scapegoat and called her a "liar," adding: "The next thing you know you'll be saying that you were fired because you are a Jew." Both Lipshutz and Mrs. Abzug are Jewish.
