Kibbutz Musicians Celebrate

An extraordinary ensemble of musicians representing the kibbutz movement of
Israel will-appear in Columbus on Sunday, May 11, at

kibutz'' lo the city in celebration of the 70th anniversary
of the kibbutz movement.

musicians, drawn from the
members of Kibbutz Bet
Hashita, will be seen in 30
different cities in the United
States during their 7-week
tour.
The ensemble weayes into
its program of old ahd new
songs the sense of the ancient land of Israel, the role
ofthe kibbutzin the drying of
the swamps, the transformation of the desert into gardens, and, as a social experience in collective" living, in
the adaptation of traditional
holidays to the settings of
agricultural settlements.
Above all, the program reflects the importance of the
kibbutz as a standard-bearer
of the morals and ideals of
the new State.
Israel has produced many
singing groups, but none
more outstanding than the
"Kol Hakkibutz." Stage director Cadi Inbar, who has
been responsible for many of

spectacles, stems from the
neighboring Kibbutz Givat

Israel Views With Seriousness
Resolution By Council Of Europe
By David Landau
JERUSALEM (JTA)-Is-
rael recently expressed the
"grave seriousness" with
which it views the Council of
Europe's resolution adopted
last week in Strasbourg,
France, calling for an
amendment of United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, recognizing Palestinian "right to self-determination" and condemning
Israel for its settlement
policy.
"Not only is this not a contribution to peace," a Foreign Ministry statement
issued here said, "it is one of
a number of recent moves
that actually harm the ongoing peace process." The
New Jewish Center
Capital Campaign
Adopts Logo, Slogan
"It's Time ... Let's Build
It!" \will- soon be'heard
throughout Columbus. The
slogan has been adopted as
the official theme for The
New Jewish Center Capital
Campaign.
According to Bob Tenenbaum, chairman of the. Center's Communications Committee, this theme was
chosen because "the time
has come to stop talking and
start doing." The Communications Committee felt
strongly that a direct, upbeat message was needed so
that the community would
realize that "It's time to
work and get the job (of
building a -New Center)
done," Mi;. Tenenbaum explained.   '" /
IT'S TIME...
LET'S BUILD IT!
THE NEW JEWISH CENTER -
The logo was designed by
the advertising firm of Ham-
eroff/Milenthal, Inc.
Chairman Tenenbaum
commended his committee
for their many dedicated
hours of work on helping to
market The New Jewish
Center. All members of "the
Center's Communications
Committee are professionals
in the field or have had
experience in some aspect of
communications, he noted.
The committee includes
Howard Byer, David Milenthal, Helen Nutis, Milton
Pinsky, Burt, Schildhouse,
Marcia Sigall, Les Somogyi
and Hal Tanenbaum.  ■,
Camp David accords, the
statement noted, were based
on Resolution 242 and therefore "any attempt today to
undermine the basis of the
peace treaty cannot but be
interpreted as a desire to
damage the peace process itself." The statement also
noted the failure of the Council resolution to condemn recent terrorist acts such as
the attack on Kibbutz Misgav Am April 7 and the attempt last week to blow up
an EI Al jumbo jet at the
Zurich Airport.
The role of PLO terrorism
was brought up by Foreign
Minister Yitzhak Shamir in
his meeting here with the
Ambassadors of the' nine
European Economic Community nations. He told them
that the PLO was responsible for the deaths of at
least 20 of the 40 soldiers of
the United Nations Interim,
Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)
who have been killed since
the UN force was established
two years ago.
Shamir observed that
"People in Israel ask themselves why" the killings by
Shi'ite villagers of two Irish
soldiers serving with
UNIFIL "seems to elicit
much more interest and
sympathy abroad than the
killings of UNIFIL soldiers
by the PLO."
Legislation Pending To Help Holocaust Survivors
Qualify For Social Security
, WASHINGTON IJTAJ-Legislation hasbeeaintroduced ia.
both houses of Congress to help Holocaust survivors qualify
for Social Security benefits they are unable to receive now
because the records of their naturalization as' U.S. citizens
contain errors with respect to their birth dates.
The legislation was introduced by Rep. William Hughes (D.
NJ) and Sen. Richard Schweiker (R. Pa.). Schweiker pointed
out that "women prisoners in Nazi camps above the age of 30
were often put to death and many prisoners understated their
ages to avoid execution."
He said that after World War II "250,000 concentration
camp survivors were admitted into our country arid up to
10,000 may have understated their true ages to authorities.".
Schweiker explained that since those who survived were
fearful that contradictory concentration camp records would
jeopardize their chances to enter the United States and that
they would be sent to hostile countries for relocation, liberated women prisoners repeated their misstatements to the
naturalization authorities.
"After 35 years of freedom, their true ages (of men and
women) exceed 65, yet official records list ages below this
figure.. Social Security benefits are now denied them because
of this anomaly," Schweiker said. He said the proposed legislation would enable the Attorney General to correct documents "when conclusive evidence is presented" that the age
of survivors living in the U.S. is erroneous and "the errors
can be traced back to fears of persecution if admission to the
U.S. were denied."
Rep. Henry Waxman (D. Calif.), a cosponsor of the legis-1
lation in the House, said the correction of age errors would'
apply only to those survivors who entered the United States
between Dec. 22,1945 and Nov. l, 1954. (By Joseph Polakoff.)

TEL AVIV (JTA)-The 11th Maccabiah Games to be held

already.registered for the competition, which has been

diving, golf and table-tennis.
