'Double Standards'
Is Second Novel
By Mrs. Hellman
"Double Standards"
,- (Doubleday), is the second
novel written by Aviva
Hellman, wife of Yehuda
Hellman, the executive di-
rector of the Conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations.
Although "In Place of
Love," Mrs. Hellman's first
-novel, sold nearly 200,000
copies, the author admits
that her husband is not a
reader of fiction. "Yehuda's
world is politics, foreign af-
fairs, reports and docu-
ments," she said. "He has
never read any of my books
. . . but he loves to tell
people that his wife writes
novels."
"Double Standards" is the
story of a woman who gave
up her identity, personal
ambitions and needs for the
sake of her husband, home'
and children, only to find_
herself alone and out of step
with the times.
Set in the social and
political circles of New
York and Europe, Mrs.
Hellman details the life of
Beth Van Ess, who in the
1950s marries Adam
Stillman, a liberal Jewish
lawyer. Years later, set-
tled into a state of con-
tentment, she is suddenly
faced with Adam's deci-
sion to leave her for a
woman half her age. She
is left to ponder what
went wrong and how she
will survive.
The book offers a portrait
of the rapidly changing
morals and manners of the
last three decades and their
effect on women who grew
up in a more defined era.

Histadrut Parley
Ends in Upraooar
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The
Histadrut convention ended
in uproar in the early hours
last Friday morning after
cudgel-wielding border
policemen were called in to
separate battling Labor and
Likud members.
The uproar increased yet
further when one of the
Likud members was ar-
rested, but died down
somewhat when the con-
vention president per-
suaded the police to release
him but bar him from re-
entering the hall.
The meeting of the
1,501-strong assembly had
been noisy throughout its
four days of deliberations,
with frequent interruptions
of speakers, especially by
the Likud minority, in
scenes reminiscent of the
national pre-election
period.
