HOLLYWOOD — Fran- cis Lederer, a veteran actor who has achieved notoriety both in Europe and America, talked about his strong feelings for Israel, a country he has visited often and a country whose fight- ing spirit he admires. To him, it is the only state in the Near and Middle East which America today can depend on. Born in Prague, Lederer was a stage and screen star in Vienna, Berlin and Lon- don. He came to Hollywood via Broadway in 1934. In the earlier years, his movie career was highlighted by two films — Warner's "Con- fession of a Nazi Spy," (1939) a powerful expose of foreign links of the Third Reich; and United Artists' "Voice in the Wind," (1943) which symbolized the plight of European refugees.

Yet, the refugees from 1 Israel are small in numbers compared to the 100 million stateless people who c' roamed through Europe, Africa and Asia during the past century and now rein- forced by the effect of Soviet expansion and the wars in southeast Asia, he said. * * * "HAMSIN," Israel's 'n entry for the Academy Awards, is a vivid example that the Jewish state is < naive when it comes to 1 propaganda in foreign coun- tries and in providing a vis- ual illustration of current L' and future problems. The film does justice neither to the Jewish nor the Arab settlers in a vil- lage in Galilee by focusing on their hatreds and jealousies, rape, and even- tual killing, instead of deal- ing with a sense of mutual understanding of the dif- ficult problems both Jews and Arabs face. With a grant from the Is- raeli government, "Ham- sin" is bound to create more hatred and misunderstand- ing and trigger anti- Semitism. Perhaps the vast and more secure countries such as the Soviet Union, United States and England can afford such a portrayal of an ugly, hopefully iso- lated, relationship. But Is- rael cannot and neither can world Jewry. This film re- minds this columnist of the racially-slanted and Yid- dish accented shlemiehl stories to come out of pre- Hitler Germany which helped to perpetuate old prejudices. "Hamsin" was produced by Jacob Lifshin and di- rected by Daniel Wachsman. The screenplay was by D. Verte, Lifshin and Wachsman, with music by Raviv Gazit. David Garfin- kel was the cameraman and Levin Zini was the editor. Arens Assures Knesset of No Israel Threat to Syria Ret. $3260.00 SPECIAL $1899.00 Tapper's American Bund was still powerful and was in a posi- tion to threaten reprisals, according to Lederer. As a result, all Warner Bros. pic- tures were banned through- out Nazi Germany. Lederer has also had stage roles in "Watch on the Rhine" and "The Diary of Anne Frank." Throughout the decades, Lederer, keenly interested in the future of Israel, has spoken at universities and colleges throughout the United States in an effort to kindle a militant spirit within the Jewish people. To combat Arab prop- aganda abroad and anti- Semitism at home, Lederer feels that Jews should know more about their heritage and history, particularly the history of the events leading up to the establish- ment of the State of Israel and the years since then. He mused about the fact that Jews throughout the ages stood up for their moral principles but that Jews today suffer from a paralysis induced by a feel- ing of guilt. A case in point, he noted, was the massacre in the Beirut refugee camps. The bulk of U.S. Jewry, Le- derer observed, accepted the responsibility of the Israelis even before the facts were known. Instead of advocat- ing an investigation by the Israelis, Lederer believes it would have been more appropriate to hear the re- sults of a Lebanese inquiry, not only into the massacre but also into the back- ground of the assassination of Lebanon's President- elect Bashir Gemayel. What happened in both cases re- mains so far a well-kept secret, he observed. Lederer is convinced that the refugee problem is used as a pawn in the political games played by the Arab leaders. Whenever the ref- ugee problem comes up in the United Nations, the dis- MON. SAT. - 10:00-5:45 THURSDAYS 10:008:45 JERUSALEM (JTA) — Defense Minister Moshe Arens assured Knesset members Tuesday that Is- rael had no intention of at- tacking Syria, though he warned that if Syria esca- lated the situation in the north, for whatever reasons, "The scope of the reaction would be dictated by Israel." Arens spoke at a closed session of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Secu- rity Committee, a body he had chaired before he was named Ambassador to the U.S. last year. He was re- sponding to Labor MK Mor- dehai Gur, a former Chief of Staff, who urged the gov- ernment not to maintain an aggressive policy and ref- rain from any military in- itiative against Syria. Arens called on Syria's leaders to confer with Is- raeli leaders over peace talks between the two coun- tries. He also called on King Hussein of Jordan to join the peace process with Is- rael but rejected a freeze on Jewish settlement activity in the occupied territories as a condition for Jordan's participation. Speaking of Israel's rela- tions with the U.S., Arens maintained that the two countries agreed on the strategic level but their views differed on the tacti- cal level. He noted that mutual concessions were necessary between allies and said Israel abandoned its demand for a peace treaty with Lebanon at this time at the urging of the U.S. He added, however, that Israel would make no concessions "on matters of life or death."
