"Just Ask," is the theme for

Center
An hour-long filmed report from Israel, in which Drew Pearson
served as guide and narrator seen on NBC-TV last Sunday, proved
to be a memorable and thrilling experience.
Those who were not fortunate enough to see this program, di-
rected and produced by citizens of Israel, will be pleased to know
that the film will be distributed to theatres, and may also be made
available for showing by the United Jewish Appeal. The New York
Times stas that this film has already been booked by a ttmatre in
Washington, D. C. It is to be hoped that some of the people who
make our State Department policy will see it.
Drew Pearson guided the viewer on a tour of the people and the
problems of Israel, during the last months of 1956. With him, we
explored the questions of war and peace, saw Israel's reclamation
of the desert, its freedom of religion, its outstanding men of science,
of medicine and of agriculture. We watched an interview with David
Ben-Gurion; we thrilled with recognition as a young engineer spoke
of his work in Solar energy, to learn that he was known to the
young men from Seattle who served with the Haganah ships who
brought refugees to Israel in 1947, and to learn that the brilliant
Doctor interviewed had lectured to the team of World Health Or-
ganization Doctors and Scientists of which Professor and Mrs. Rich-
ard Tyler had been a part.
But above all, it was Drew .Pearson's interview with an unnamed
Czechoslovakian newcomer to Israel, which was the highlight of
'the whole program. When asked if she did not find life in Israel
difficult, she answered Pearson in halting English: "All place I
stranger, here I no stranger. This is my house--very nice place, very
nice place." r
What better description could we have of what Israel means to
tile thousands of Jews who have found a home in Israel ....
An Eventful Week
The telephone hook-up arranged this past week by the Israel
Bond Organization was dramatic and timely. Ambassador Abba Eban
and Foreign Minister Golda Meier spoke to meetings arranged
throughout the country to hear their message of Israel's position
in the world today, and the help that she needs at the critical period.
Wtmt was most impressive to tiffs listener was the fact that both
Ebaa and Golda Meier spoke with enthusiasm of the fact that Israel
could look forward in 1957 to an emigration of 100,000 Jews from
Egypt, Hungary and other Iron Curtain countries, as well as from
Rrorth Africa. All they were asking from us was investment in the
people and the land.
The playing of Ernst Bloch's "Suite for Viola and Orchestra," at
the last Seattle Symphony Concert, wth Milton Katims as soloist
and Henry Sicgl conducting was one of the highlights of the week.
In addition to the opportunity of hearing for the first time a great
work by one of the most original of modern composers one also
heard a combination of three outstanding musical talents, all mem-
bers of the Jewish faithKatims, acknowledged throughout the mus-
ical world as one of the great violists, as well as a brilliant con-
ductor; Siegl, the new concert-master of the Symphony, making his
first appearance in Seattle as a conductor; and Bloch, who has al-
ways.acknowledged the debt that his music owes to the' Hebrew
strain, brought us great music. One can safely speak of Ernest Bloch
a a Jewish composer, not just a composer who happens to be Jewish.

Raanan Sivan, Consul General of Israel for the Western States,
speaking to the Federated Fund last Monday was factual and unemo-
tional. But his talk carried that much more impact because of its
very matter of factness.
He spoke of the provoction to which Israel was subjected beforjp
the Sinai attack and he said That either condemnation or sanctions
against Israel would represent a double standard of morality, one
for Egypt and one ,for Israel."
