Israel Busts Drug Operation TEL AVIV — The Israeli police have arrested four persons, including a belly dancer, on charges of smuggling more than $320,000 worth of heroin from Iran. The first discovery was made May 8 in the luggage of a Tel Aviv man traveling with an Iranian passport. Three arrests followed. One of the most fascinat- ing characters in modern Jewish history might well be Isaac Strauss, a Parisian who conducted his orchestra at dances of the Court of Napoleon III. Strauss apparently was not related to that Aus- trian family of musicians who achieved wide popular- ity throughout Europe in the 19th and 20th Cen- turies. As an orchestra leader and a practicing Jew, Strauss traveled exten- sively all over Europe at the turn of the last century. During his many sojourns he indulged in his hobby of buying Jewish religious ob- jets d'art. In fact, he devoted his fortune, time and effort to collecting the finest candlesticks, Purim plates, Torah scrolls and other examples of the European Jewish heritage. In 1878 his unparalleled private art collection was displayed for the first time at the Exhibition of Jewish Art in Paris. • When Strauss died his collection was bought for 30,000 francs by Baro- ness Nathaniel Mayer de Rothschild (wife of the grandson of the first Baron Rothschild) who presented the collection to the Musee de Cluny in Paris. Known as the Strauss de Rothschild Jewish Art Col- lection it was displayed at the Musee de Cluny until the outbreak of World War II, when, for safe-keeping during the Nazi occupation of Paris, the entire collec- tion was stored in a cup- board in the cellar of the Musee de Cluny. The collection contains an ark made in Italy in 15 The Musee de Cluny is willing to transfer the col- lection to a Jewish museum.
