It Pays to Be Fat—Meir Hirsch, 63, of Bat Yam, was accused of passing a forged $100 bill. The shopkeeper identified him only as "an English-speaking tourist." The judge took note of Hirsch's unusually big be- lly, and ruled that if the shopkeeper had not remem- bered that very prominent feature, he had the wrong man. Even-Handed Justice — A commanding officer caught one of his soldiers smuggling a television set from Lebanon into Israel. To make an example of the man's offense, the officer poured gasoline over the set, and in front of the whole unit set it afire. A military court investigated and brought in two charges: against the officer for de- stroying a soldier's prop- erty, and against the soldier for smuggling. All in the Line of Duty — During a noisy demon- stration organized by the Histadrut against the gov- ernment's economic policies one of the demonstrators, a government employee, was injured and requested com- pensation from the Na- tional Labor Insurance for injuries suffered in line of employment. The court ap- proved the claim. Nothing Overlooked — Victor Vanano, 21, of Petah Tikva, pleaded guilty before Judge Zvi Nadiv in Ashke- lon court to escaping from police custody. He was found guilty of various charges in connection with car theft, and was also or- dered to pay the police the equvalent of about $10, cost of the handcuffs he was wearing when he escaped, and which he did not return. A Holy Urge — Ilan Av- ichzer denied stealing 600 mezuzot in Bnai Brak, but had difficulty explaining what 40 mezuzot were doing in his possession. Proven Talents De- stroyed — Solomon Abur- mad, of Beersheva, sued the chemical plant in which he was employed on the grounds that dangerous ex- posure to chemicals had left him sterile and impotent at the age of 42. After pro- longed hearings, an out-of- court settlement was reached for payment of a lump sum. Aburmad has six children. Justice Miscarried — Aharon Algrabali, owner of a fish restaurant in Bat Yam, had for months been bothered by waterfront characters who ate in his restaurant and refused to pay. Summoning up cour- age, he complained to the police, and the offenders were arrested. But sub- jected to dire threats, Al- grabali backed down in court and withdrew his complaint. The district at- torney filed charges against him for obstructing justice, and he was sent to jail for three months. Offense Intended — A 24-year-old man turned Changing MKs himself in at the Holon police station, and charged himself with intending to rob a gasoline station. The dumbfounded investigators studied the law books but found nothing they could arrest him for. Honor Among Thieves — A young man arrested for stealing from bathers' clo- thing on the Carmel beach indignantly denied the charge. The theft had taken place in a section of the beach staked out by others, he claimed. He limited his operations to his own area only. Bank's Premises Not a Public Way — Eliezer Hendless, client of the bank, found a valuable item on the floor of the safe deposit chamber. No one claimed it, and he therefore put in his claim as the lawful "finder." After a series of hearings all the way up to the Supreme Court, it was held that any- thing found on the premises of the bank becomes the property of the bank if own- ership cannot be estab- lished. $75,000 Award to Canadian MD MONTREAL (JTA) — Dr. Phil Gold, chief physi- cian of the Montreal Gen- eral Hospital, has been awarded the Ernest Man- ning Award for his dis- covery of carcinoembryonic antigen, a substance secreted by certain cancer- ous tumors. The $75,000 award is the first by the Clagary, Alberta-based Manning Foundation. Gold's discovery, the re- sult of many years of re- search, lead to the possibil- ity of detecting some types of cancer up to three years earlier than previously possible. Gold, who is also associate director of the McGill Cancer Clinic and a professor of medicine at McGill University, was selected for the award from a list of 172 nominees across Canada. JERUSALEM (ZINS) — According to the newspaper Haaretz, Israel's Knesset is undergoing fundamental changes. Fewer of the old- time Israeli pioneers are still available to serve in the Knesset and more Sephar- dim are now serving as MKs. The present Knesset, the 10th, has 27 Sephardi MKs among its 120 members. That is up from 22 in the ninth Knesset and 17 in the eighth. Surprisingly, the Labor Alignment has more Sephardi MKs — 13 — than the Likud coalition, which has nine. In the last elec- tions, 70 percent of Israel's Oriental Jews voted for Likud, 20 percent for Labor and 10 percent for the Tami Party, which is Sephardi. (- West Germany's Bias Reported KELN, West Germany (ZINS) — According to a new book by Prof. 'Alfons Zilberman, 23 percent of the West German population openly expresses anti- Semitism and 30 percent more mask their deep feel- ings of anti-Seratism. The professor said only 20 percent of the Jews he con- tacted in West Germany would answer his question- naire on anti-Semitism. 56th Anniversary Balalaika Orchestra of Detroit Koncert William Goldes Director Orchestra Hall 3711 Woodward Ave. Detroit, Mich.
