The song under dispute is "T-^ena." a Hebrew word mean¬ ing, "walk out." It was compos¬ ed In Tel Aviv by a I.

It did nol take long for the song to reach the Unlled States, where Cromwell Music, Inc., had the text translated Into English and published it. "Tzena" .soon became a "hit" sojig on records and on the radio'and in night clubs. However, a New York composer, Yudl Grossman, after hearing the song, wrote to the Tel Aviv composer asking his permission for improving on the music. He also asked Cromwell Music lo recognize Michrovsky- Mlron's rights to royalties. When Cromwell rejected this request, Grossman In his and MIchrovsky-Mlron's behalf auth- orljsed tKe Mills Music Publish¬ ing Company to publish the song. Cromwell then sued Mills on the grounds that the song was copyrighted by Cromwell. Grossman Instituted a suit against Cromwell for appropriat¬ ing "Tzena." Each side is seek¬ ing $50,000 damages.

Unless a special dressing facility Is built outside, which is not yet included in the planning, it will be necessary to use the regular locker rooms of Ihe building for the outdoor swimming pool.

It was the opinion of the commiltee that there would he no rill revenue from operations of the pool this sum¬ mer. It was the feeling of th? committee that in order to oper- iie the pool, we would need ad¬ ministration personnel, locker personnel and maintenance per¬ sonnel that would only be work¬ ing for the pool, while when the entire center Is open, these peo¬ ple would be devoting only a small part of their time toward pool work, and that with these necessary salaries, the expense of operating the pool this sum¬ mer would exceed the revenue. In addition to all of these rea¬ sons, the committee felt that opening any part ot the center, piece-meal, would take away from the over-all dedication and the enthusiasm resulting from I this.
