Rights Amendment, the
American Jewish Congress

sive new study entitled,
"ERA — The Time Has
Come." For copies, write

Orchestras Seek
New Conductors
By MARGUERITE
KOZENN CHAJES
Special to
The Jewish News
VIENNA — The famous
Vienna State Opera House,
the Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra, whose conductor
is Herbert von Karajan, 71,
and not too healthy and the
Salzburg Summer Festivals
are looking for new music
directors.
It seems that the Vienna
State Opera will engage
Lorin Maazel from Cleve-
land; Daniel Barenboim is
under earnest consideration
as successor to von Karajan
and the Salzburg Festivals
would like to secure the
services of James Levine,
but it is doubtful whether he
could accept an additional
job next to the directorship
of the Metropolitan Opera.
The highlight of the
Salzburg festival took place
last week when the Israeli
Philharmonic Orchestra
appeared under Leonard
Bernstein. The standing
ovations seemed endless .. .
Bernstein will also lead the
IPO in Munich, while Zubin
Mehta will conduct it in
Germany, Sweden, Finland,
Switzerland, Italy and
Spain.
Cultural Center
Has Open House
The ninth annual open
house will be held at The
Detroit Institute of Arts,
The Detroit Public Library
and The Detroit Historical
Museum 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The public is invited free of
charge.
All sections of the three
institutions will be open
and will host a vast array of
activities for all ages.
The library will present a
show of comic book art and
political cartooning, the In-
stitute of Arts will present
guided tours to "Highlights
of the Collections" and the
historical museum will fea-
ture a walk into the shops
along "the streets of old De-
troit" as the Paint Creek
Folklore Society plays and
sings Early American
music.

HOLLYWOOD — Alan
Arkin, co-starring with
Peter Falk in Warner Bros.
off-beat comedy, "The In-
Laws," talked with us at an
interview session of the Hol-
lywood Foreign Press
Corps. He explained his
title of executve producer, a
credit normally given to
those who put the "package"
together and secure the
financing.
Primarily interested in
the artistic part, he did no
such thing. But it was Arkin
who thought of the basic
story and then developed
the plot together with Falk
during a series of dis-
cussions.
Arkin and Fa lk knew
each other only casually
and had never worked to-
gether before, but there was
an undercurrent of admira-
tion between the two and
instinctively they felt that
"The In-Laws" was just
right for them as a comedy
team.
Arkin took the story to
Warners. Andrew Bergman
wrote the screenplay.
Seemingly a fast-
moving, nonsensical
spoof designed to make
you laugh at any price,
the picture transcends
the routine formula and
turns into a satire in
which clandestine opera-
tions clash with middle-
class American morality.
An armor-plated Brinks'
truck is being hoisted into
the air by a huge '.,rave op-
erated by bandits wearing
ski masks. They do not
touch the neatly stacked
bundles of cash but select
some metal plates with
engravings. It turns out
that the heist is instigated
by a CIA agent trying to
break the ring of interna-
tional conspirators who are
deflating the dollar by re-
producing high U.S. bank
notes.
Peter Falk, of Colombo
TV fame, has no problem as
an enigmatic double-agent.
Arkin, his foil, is a goofy
New York dentist and fu-
ture in-law. The straight-
laced family man is duped
and spirited away by plane
to Central America. This
provides the wackiest scene
of the film with an Oriental
steward giving Arkin, the
sole passenger of the tiny
aircraft, customary safety
instructions — in Mandarin
Chinese. Arkin confessed to
us that the Oriental actor
was so funny in his solemn
litany that he couldn't stop
laughing on the set.
Brooklyn-born Arkin re-
veals that he wanted to be
an actor as long as he could
remember. He struggled
through such survival jobs
as supermarket bagger and
vacuum cleaner repairman
until by chance he joined a
folk music group with Pete
Seeger and Glen Yar-
borough. Next he appeared
in Chicago's "Second City,"
the improvised satirical
revue with such future stars
as Elaine May and Mike
Nichols.
,Off-Broadway, he di-
rected Jules Feiffer's
"Little Murders" (which
introduced Dustin
Hoffman), and won both
the Obie and Outer Cir-
cle Critics Awards. He
also starred in New York
in "Heloise" and directed
"Joan of Lorraine" star-
ring Barbara Dana who
became his second wife.
His movie credits include
"Catch 22," "Popi," "Hearts
of the West," "Wait Until
Dark," "The Last of the Red
Hot Lovers," "Luv," "
. ,
Seven-Percent Solutiofp
"Freebie and the Bean," as
well as "Little Murders"
and "Fire Sale," which he
also directed.
He is about to sign con-
tracts for two motion pic-
tures: the first one, "Strictly
Business," termed by him
an adverture-comedy co-
starring Farrah Fawcett
and Art Carney, is to be shOt
in the south of France later
this year.
The other one, "Arigo,"
is a more ambitious ven-
ture dealing with a real
personality, a Brazilian
physician who practiced
as a surgeon for many
years, performing
thousands of operations
without a license.
Dr. Arigo worked only
with a knife and according
to Arkin, who owns the
biographical book, accom-
plished near miracles.
COLPA, NY Coalition to Fight
Forward's Sale of WEVD Radio
NEW YORK (JTA) — A
petition was filed last week
with the Federal Communi-
cations Commission in
Washington, opposing the
sale of station WEVD-AM of
New York, by the (Jewish
Daily) Forward Associa-
tion, to a broadcasting
group specializing in Chris-
tian religious broadcast
programming, the National
Jewish Commission on Law
and Public Affairs
(COLPA), reported.
Howard Zuckerman,
COLPA president, said the
suit was filed by Nathan
Lewin, COLPA vice
president, and David Bu-
tler, a volunteer attorney
who is a member of COL-
PA's Washington chapter.
Dennis Rapps, COLPA
executive director, said
COLPA undertook to try to
halt the sale of WEVD-AM
to the Salem Media Co.
which owns a number of
Christian program stations
throughout the United-
States because the sale is
not in the public interest —
a federal law requirement
— for a variety of reasons
related to the more than 80
years of WEVD-AM broad-
casting of programs of
Jewish content in Yiddish
and in English.
Butler said COLPA had
learned that the AM fre-
quency, which now broad-
casts Jewish content pro-
grams from 8:30 a.m. to 1
p.m. five days a week, will
drop all- such programs if
the AM band is taken over
by the Salem group.
Rapps said he had been
told by the WEVD man-
agement that it plans to up-
grade substantially the
Jewish content program on
WEVD-FM which the For-
ward Association would re-
tain. He said he had raised
the issue of how WEVD-FM
could fit into its tight
schedule of multi-lingual
broadcasting — which cur-
rently includes Jewish pro-
gramming only from 1 p.m.
to 4:30 p.m. — the four-
and-a-half hours of such
broadcasting now being
aired daily on the AM band.
Rapps said that even if
time could be found on the
FM band for the present AM
Jewish content programm-
ing, many elderly Jews
either do not own radios
with FM bands or never use
the FM circuits.
Also, he said, FM broad-
casts, for technical reasons,
do not reach many areas of
Jewish population concen-
tration, such as Monticello,
N.Y., about 100 miles from
New York City, which
WEVD-AM does reach. He
also reported that a survey
of senior citizens centers in
the New York metropolitan
area indicated that the AM
band is the one listened to
by elderly Jews.
A "Coalition to Save
WEVD-AM" has been
formed to support the
license fight planned
through the FCC. Member
agencies of the coalition in-
clude Agudath Israel, the
National Council of Young
Israel, the Union of Or-
thodox Jewish Congrega-
tions of America, the United
Jewish Council of the Lower
East Side, and the Jewish
Community, Councils of
Washington Heights in
Manhattan, and of Brighton
Beach and Crown Heights
in Brooklyn, as well as a
number of local Jewish in-
stitutions which sponsor
programs in Yiddish and
English on WEVD-AM.
Bombing Injury
JERUSALEM (JTA) —
One man was seriously hurt
last week in an explosirm
near the Jerusalem rail'
station.
In another incident,
police dismantled explo-
sives in a bus belonging to a
Nazareth firm. The bus was
parked overnight in
Bethlehem and the explo-
sives were found when it
was brought to a Jerusalem
service station.
