While the membership of

the humanitarian and Jew.
President Reagan and Is-
raeli Prime Minister
Menahem Begin sent per-
sonal messages of congratu-
lations to the entertainer;
Los Angeles Mayor Tom
Bradley issued an official
proclamation declaring a
"Danny Kaye Day" while
citing his long history of
raising funds both for UN-
ICEF and for symphony or-
chestras and musicians'
pension funds throughout
the world.
The highlight of the
evening was the dedica-
tion of a "Danny Kaye
Wing" at the university's
Medical Education Cen-
ter in Israel. Major Gen-
eral Shlorno Gazit,
president of Ben-Gurion
University, presented
Kaye with a 3,000-year-
old artifact uncovered
during archeological ex-
cavations.
It was a long way to star-
dom for 69-year-old,
Brooklyn-born Kaye who
started in summer theaters,
toured the U.S. and the
Orient in a vaudeville act,
and for a time worked as an
errand boy for the father of
Sylvia Fine, a lady he mar-
ried in 1941. His major
break had come with a
tongue-twister in Moss
Hart's "Lady-in the Dark,"

which starred the late Ger-
trude Lawrence. He stopped
the show by rattling off the
names of more than 50 Rus-
sian composers in 38 sec-
onds. Sylvia developed into
a pianist and lyricist and
wrote his material for many
years.
Kaye jumped into full
stardom on Broadway with
"Let's Face It" — but the
movie role went to Bob
Hope. It was Samuel
Goldwyn who brought him
to Hollywood for "Up in
Arms," a musical that was
entirely different from any-
thing the public had seen
before and wholly fashioned
for the eccentricities and ef-
fervescent style of the per-
former.
"The Secret Life of Walter
Mitty" brought out Kaye's
sensitivity. There were "A
Song is Born," "The Inspec-
tor General," "On the Ri-
viera," "Knock on Wood,"
"Court Jester," "Merry An-
drews," "On the Double,"
and the whimsical charm of
his "Hans Christian Ander-
sen."
Kaye's first brush with
television came in 1956
when he starred in a
segment of Edward R.
Murrow's "See It Now,"
labeled "The Secret Life
of Danny Kaye" which
had to do with his work
for UNICEF and won the
George Foster Peabody
Award and an Emmy
nomination.
Subsequently, he made
his first .Las Vegas night-
club appearance, did a TV
special, made a USO holi-
day tour of Japan and
Korea, performed as guest
conductor in Boston, De-
troit, Los Angeles and
Washington, visited the
Soviet Union at the behest
of the State Department
and headlined theater bills
as far apart as Honolulu and
Denver.
"The Danny Kaye Show"
started on CBS in Sep-
tember 1963 and ended four
years later when Kaye de-
cided it was time to move on
to other things. During the
next five years, he went to
Israel to visit hospitalized
Israeli soldiers after the
Six-Day War of 1967.
In Israel, he performed on
stage and conducted orches-
tras, visited children's day
camps and kibutzim, spend-
ing much time with every
segment of the population,
from the military and polit-
ical leadership to the simple
man on the street. He
toured three continents
conducting the Israel Youth
Symphony.

LONDON (ZINS) —
Palestine Liberation

Arafat said in an interview
in `EightDays magazine
that the PLO has regular
contacts with "progressive"
Israelis, including a Com-

Knesset, Charlie Biton.
Arafat claims that the
PLO meets the Israelis in
Rome, Paris, Prague and
Sophia. He vowed to con-
tinue the PLO fight against
"Zionists" so that Moslems,
Christians and Jews can

state.
He added, "We do not hate

Judaism is part of our own
