THE TRADE journal noted that Israel still bars talent deemed to be tainted by Naal collabora¬ tion and cited a list of artists and productions barred In Israel for that   reason.
"CJerman-made pictures are not siiown In Israeli cinemas," It said, "except if they are co-produced with another country or labelled as 'Swiss' or 'Austrian;" and get away with It."
IT POINTED out that the music of RIchaird Strauss and Richard Wagner was still "taboo" In Israel and asserted that "Ye- hudl Menuhin is less popular with Israeli audience because he—a Jew—appeared before German audiences 'too soon' after the war."
Up to now. Variety reported, only one German artist, Marlene Dietrich, appeared In Israel and she "even sang in German." Her visit, the paper said, was a "tre¬ mendous success."

"In those days, we needed to oreate the-«t6Ebotype of what a Hillel director should be," Dr. Sachar told the dtaner audience. "Harry . Kaplan was one of the few who helped set the tone for the remarkable growth of Hillel.''
