The Merkava represents a new concept in tank de- sign which combines un- precedented crew protection with maneuvarability, ver- satility and advanced technology. The design was based on the Israel army's future battle requirements, incorporating lessons gained from recent combat experience. In addition, everything possible has been done to provide maximum crew pro- tection — the heavy armor plating and the revised interior layout are espe- cially effective in this re- spect — so much so, that the tank is affectionately known as "the Jewish Mother." The tank also incorpo- rates an original Israeli- designed system for transferring commands from the tank comman- der to the driver, while the novel configuration of the Merkava enhances its versatility, enabling it to perform such secon- dary roles as command vehicle, troop carrier or ambulance. During Operation Peace for the Galilee, the Merkava played an important role in the destruction of Syrian LaSalle 553-7111 BODY SE R414 'E BUMPING & PAINTING All work guaranteed Free Estimates Reliable and Experienced since 1930 on all makes of cars 28829 Orchard Lake Rd., between 12 & 13.

HOLLYWOOD — Danny Kaye has been awarded the Knight's Cross First Class of the Order of Dannebrog by Queen Margrethe H of Denmark. The presentation was made by Royal Danish Consul General Henning Kristiansen at his Los Angeles home last month. Kaye portrayed Hans Christian Andersen in the memorable Samuel Goldwyn musical of 30 years ago. Fully recovered from a re- cent operation, he flew to Copenhagen last month to conduct the Royal Danish Symphony in a UNICEF benefit concert. The queen's citation noted that "Kaye's warm and sensitive portrayal of Denmark's folk hero, Hans Christian Andersen has long endeared him to the people, reflecting those rare qualities of gentle humor and inner strength which have enabled him to be identifed as a "Pied Piper to the children of the world." The award also was sig- nificant as a double an- niversary. Kaye was born 70 years ago and has been devoted to UNICEF for 30 years. * * * ARTHUR COHN, pro- ducer of such Academy- award winning films as the stirring anti-Nazi picture, "The Garden f the Finzi- Continis," the documentary feature, "The Sky Above — The Mud Below" (made in New Guinea); and the more recent French-language "Black and White in Color," has completed "A Fool's Gambit." The new picture is set against the background of the world championship chess tournament in Paris in which a Soviet chessmas- ter opposes a dissident Rus- sian whose views are sup- pressed by the government. The film stars Liv Ullmann and Leslie Caron as well as Michel Piccoli, with German actor Bernard Wicky and Russian-born Alexandre Arbatt. Stage di- rector Richard Dembo makes his debut behind the camera; Raoul Coutard is the cinematographer. CANTOR MOSHE KOUSSEVITZKY is por- trayed by Toronto-born Cantor Paul Zim in Moshe Mizrahi's "The Children's War," photographed in Budapest and in Auschwitz. Zim, 39, the same age as Koussevitzky was at the be- ginning of WWII, was flown specially to Hungary for a wedding service within the picture, chanting Jewish liturgy and appearing as Koussevitzky who at the time of the opening chapter of the story officiated at the Tlomatska Temple.
