Terror Sweeping Europe Rooted in Anti-Semitism.
It has a definite objective
— the establishment of
right-wing, authoritarian
regimes in West Germany,
France, Italy and some of
the smaller countries on the
continent.
The old terrorist organi-
zations were loosely knit in
an international network in

binding factor. Members of

PORTER SERVICE WITHIN 5 MILES
By VICTOR BIENSTOCK
A new wave of terrorism
is sweeping over Europe, its
roots embedded in a nostal-
gic reversion to the Hitler
era and the leadership prin-
ciple. Unlike the extreme
leftist and nihilist variety of
terror which preceded it, the
new terrorism is
xenophobic, racist and vio-
lently anti-Semitic.

These splendid and talented
singers, dancers and musicians
— have won worldwide acclaim
and rave press notices in USA,
Europe, Australia, Mexico, etc.
It is a glorious exposition of song and dance,
depicting among others a market scene, a
Jewish wedding and the despair of the pogr
roms. The performance ends in an outburst of
high spirits and joy, with international and Is-
raeli singing and dancing. Live entertainment
— colourful and national costumes — tradition.
