The Academy made special

mention of the performance by Zubin Mehta, the. orchestra's conductor who'is also the conductor of tho New York Philharmonic. The history of Israel, from pre-Statehood days is mirrored in the story of the I.P.O., created in 1936 out of the turmoil in Europe and amidst Arab riots in Palestine, Today, the members of the I.P.O. are as diverse as Israelis themselves. And, with the recent influx of musicians from the Soviet Union, the film is a vivid reminder that the I.P.O., like Israel, is a haven for Jews who yearn for freedom in their lives and in their work. In addition to Mr. Mchta, the program features Leonard Bernstein, Isaac Stern, and Ilzlink Perlman. "NebraskanB are fortunate to have an opportunity to view this film — it is truly a musical phenomenon," Mr. dstcn nsiiu.

It WAS in 1969 that Zubin Mehta waj made music "advisor" of the orchestra, and in 1931 that he was finally made its music director "for life." Until then, say critics of the symphony, the I.P.O. lacked a style of its own such 88 could come only from the constant personal attention of a permanent conductor. "Who the conductor ia matters," (says Itzhak Perlman. "Zubin't hands and his personality control the orchestra." Not only that, ncidi Inane .Stem, but relations between Mclita and the I.P.O. have been like those "between family members," with Mchta ready to fly to Israel "at the drop of a yarmulka." Mehto himself observes that he knows the I.P.O. so intimately that if he were to hear a Brahms symphony played by the I.P.O. and then by the Los Angeles Symphony, he would be able to tell "by the sound of each violin alone," which orchestra he was hearing.

Rret degree murder AB this issue goes to press, an explosion of material cries out for editorial attention: Hie death of U.S. Senator Henry Jackson... The resignation of Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin... The plan to send more U.S. Marines to Lebanon . . . Overpowering all of these events, however, is the downing of a Korean passenger plane in the Soviet Union with the tragic loss of 269 human beings. If world event* were a game called "Can you top this?" Russia wins with the greatest of ease. Reverberations resulting from this tragedy without sense are just starting. Soon, we can expect, that evidence will be brought before the United Nations and perhaps an instant of sanity in that world body will come forth with a world condemnation of this barbaric act. The early evidence, presented by top United States Officials on television, and the statements of President Reagan leave no doubt as to the blame for this calamity. Rational people want to scream for an understandable answer. Is there any justification for shooting at an unarmed passenger airplane with hundreds of people aboard? Rational people don't see any possible justification. About 24 hours after the United States condemned the Soviet Union for murdering the airborne civilians, statements started to change. After denying any participation in the destruction of the aircraft, the Soviets stated that yes, indeed, a warning shot had been fired at on "unidentified spy plane" that had penetrated Russia's territory. The statement denied that a hit had occurred saying only that the plane changed direction and headed toward the Sea of Japan. Most humanists would prefer to believe that this explanation is acceptable because no one in his right mind would shoot down a planeload of innocent people. The facts as presented so far, however, destroy the possibility that the Soviets acted in humane fashion. The evidence points to a direct hit by a Russian missile fired by a Russian fighter. This brings up the possibility of another theory: Is it possible that the Russian fighter pilot tried to fire a warning shot, but because of technical incompetence either on the part of the pilot or his aircraft — the warning shot became a terrifying direct hit? If this-theory proves true, the Russians have a choice. They can be disciplined by world opinion as being brutal bums, or they can be mentally crushed by being identified as military idiots. This is a no win situation for the Soviet Union. It's unfortunate ,that so many innocent people had to die for the world to get a good look at the Soviet : mentality.

New names of the year HAIFA — In accordance with our annual procedure at this season we present our list of the 10 new names which made headlines in Israel tine* k i t Rosh Ilashsnah. There were many names in the news, but these ere the new ones; once listed, a name does not re-appear here. In alphabetical order Amos Daxanes, Israel's most famous life prisoner, convicted in 1975 of the murder of Rahc) Heller, was this year pardoned by the President following widespread reports that justice had miscarried. Baranes, who persistently maintained his innocence, says he will ask for a new trial to clear his name.

tiations during the past year looking to ultimata withdrawal of all foreign forces from his strife-torn country. The question is if a weak Lebanese government can survive such withdrawal. Justice Yitzhak Kalian, who headed the commission which investigated the role of Israel's armed forces in the massacres at the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon. His report held Arik Sharon and certain other military leaders responsible for not anticipating that the Christian I'holangwta might wreak vengeance against the Palestinians.

Sara Doron, of Israel's Liberal Party, overcame political objections after a two-year struggle, and was (worn in as a member of the Begin Cabinet, the third woman to rise to Cabinet position in the history of Israel.

Moshe Lcvi, whose parents came to Israel from Iraq, was named new Chief of Staff of the Israel Defence Forces. Because of his great height he is popularly known es Moahe and a Half.

Emil Grunzwelj, killed by a hand grenade thrown by an unknown person during his participation in a Peace Now demonstration against Government policies, has become a symbol of the anti-Bcgin protest movement.

Rafi Nelson, a popular Bohemian character in Eilat, was the subject of an enterprising advertising campaign by a razor company, and sacrificed his beard on the commercial altar in what was undoubtedly the most widely publicized shave in Israel's history.

Rabbi Mosho Ilirecb, self-styled Foreign Minister of the Neturei Karta, an immigrant from America who refuses to recognize Zionism or the legality of the Israel Government, and ha* for yean conducted an anti-Israel campaign overseas. He was finally arrested by the police for incitement. Dr. Ram Ishay, chairman of the Israel Medical Association, is widely credited with having been the leader and strategist of the prolonged strike by Israel's employed physicians, which closed hospitals and practically put an end to normal medical services in the country for months. Amin Jemayel, elected president of Lebanon after the murder of his brother, ban been at the center of all nego-

Jocobo Tlmermon, who was rescued from an Argentine prison thanks to interecession from Israel, and came to live in Israel, ungratefully turned against his new country and launched a series of vicious attacks against the Govern-. ment. He has since become the darling of the pro-Arabists of the world. Those arc the ten new names of the year. And for those who wish to test their memories, what do you recall of the ten names which made the list last year Moshe Arcns, Shlomo Argov, Rabbi Hnira Druckman, Neva Elimelecb, Arye Gengsr, Col. Eli Geva, Alan Goodman, Amnon Linn, Yaacov Meridor and Yitzhak Modai.

A New Year's message By Paul G. Cohen, , , President, Jewish Federation of Omaha "There are Jews in Omaha?" my eastern friends would n*k. incredulous that there was life at all west of the Hudson Hiver, particularly Jewiiih life. In the years since, my friends have become lens skeptical, if not a bit envious. The pages of the Jewish Press have recounted our •Jewish community's achievements and some of the challenges we face in the future. The Omaha Jewish Community Campus is becoming legendary among Federations around the country. The structures are certainly impressive, but what startles visitors is that oil the services are delivered BO well by separate, though unified, agencies. .Observers note the high quality of our professional staffs and are awed by the dedicated involvement of a legion of volunteers. We also have done well in the less glamourous but essential field of fundraising. Our Women's Campaign contistently ranks at or near the top in per capita dollars contributed. Our overall campaign, conducted in a troubled economic climate, accomplished many cf its objectives for our local agencies and for Israel's people. Dwelling on what we've done and ignoring what we must do, would certainly not be in keeping with our tradition. Our needs for the future are not secret, nor is our list of priorities surprising. Vet we cannot avoid giving careful consideration to how we will approach our future. Planning is a continuing process and it ia being done constantly. The by-lews of. the Federation were recently revised after nearly two years of debate end deliberation. A new epprosch to endowment development will be considered for implementation this month as a means of ensuring our long range financial security. Reviews of programs, physical structures and day-to-day operations are proceeding in o tirelecs quest for higher achievement and more efficient use of our funds. Through it all, we continue to be concerned on a global level. We think about our brothers end .sisters in the Soviet Union and elsewhere who cannot safely observe the New Year and who are not allowed to go where they may freely practice their religious beliefs. We cannot forget them and we must work at keeping their plight in the public and political spotlight. Israel and its neighbors continue to occupy the news. Our support for the people-oriented programs in Israel, sponsored by the Jewish Agency and funded by the UJA, cannot waiver. Our futures arc intertwined and we need each other. Will we ever get everything done? No. There is a great deal lodu.yet the needs constantly change. We can marshal the resources to accomplish what we have to do. We will find the strength to make the commitment to do what is nece&snry, carefully, deliberately and with sincere regard for all those whom we serve. If we rededicate ourselves during these Holy Days, our future will continue bright end hopeful. Omaha's Jewish community will maintain its leadership role and serve its people well. • . -.

My friend* no longer ask about Jews in Omaha. Instead they say, ."There are Jews in Omaha!" May they continue to «ay it that way for generations to come. L'Shanah Tovah!

toftfeeditor) To the Editor: Again, nostalgia is tugging at my heart strings after reading Mr. Stern's letter of Aug. 29, recalling Ed Gilbert and his grocery store at 24th and Fort streets. Yes, it was a very nice and spacious store. He was a very nice person. I remember him well, as he lived in our home at 2016 Fowler Ave. for about five or sis years, and even after Mr. Gilbert was married to Lena Itacusin. I really loved them both. Ann Goodblnder To the Editor: I want to eipress my appreciation to the Jewlab Press for the articles which we never read in another paper — the firsthand reports from our sensitive editor, the up-todate occurrences about Jewish life here and elsewhere, the experiences of people who come back from Israel, tho Carl Alpert report, and now Rabbi Kripke on Torab. As small es this paper is, it is a valuable glue keeping us together and enhancing our Jewish Ufa in this community. Miriam Grossman

Osturtoing news The world has heard disturbing news — members of the Bahai religious group in Iran have been imprisoned and executed because of their religious, beliefs. Professing the Bahai faith in Iran is enough to be imprisoned and killed. Once again, religious hatred has taken a terrible toll. .... : _ . . . . ' .We must protest this outrage with ell our power. We hail the fact that President Reagan and other governmental authorities have raised their voices in protest — fto far, to no avail. ; I am particularly troubled that echoes of the Nazi cruelties ere again being-heard in our world. It Is especially distressing that this occurs in a land ruled by representatives of one of the world's great religions — Islam. Believers in the God of oil men should spread companion, not persecution; understanding, not hate. All governments and private citizens should not stand idly by whjle people are executed for religious beliefs. Perhaps the Human Rights Commififlion of tho United Nations should look into this matter, and perhaps an international conference should be called to deal with the question. We all vowed after the Nazi outrages — NEVER AGAIN. Now is the time to act on that vow. ElleWiesd Cbairmao United State* Holocaust Memorial Council

The High Holy days: A matter of life and death B y Dr. Irving Greenberg Director, National Jewish Resourco Center Judaism is a religion of life — against death. According to classic Jewish teaching, (he world is grounded in God, an infinite source of life energy and Koodnesn. Therefore, life itself will grow and develop until it is totally perfected. The very fact of death is a denial of dignity, value and perfection, ft is a 'contradiction' to God who is pure life. Therefore, in the final end, death will be abolished ("He will swallow up death in eternity" — Isaiah 25,8). Classically, Judaism insists that when the Messiah comes, all thme who have died will come to life again. Resurrection of the dead will totally nullify death retroactively. Normally, Judaism treat* death as the enemy. All laws of the Torah — except three — may be set aside to save a life from death. Death is set up as the negative pole of contact with God. The human corpse was considered the most intense archetype of ritual impurity. No burials were allowed inside Jerusalem, the holy city. People who came in contact with the dead were not allowed to enter the Holy Temple without going through en elaborate purification rite — including immersion in a body of living water, i.e., a symbolic rebirth from the grip of death. Death ia the opposite of God because God is nil life. When death strikes personally, the tradition prescribes acceptance, showing love through personal, caring treatment of the corpse and expression of grief and loss — for the immediate relatives. Otherwise, it U almost it* if death is to be quarantined a* a dangerous antagonist. Priests who were consecrated to fulltime service of God were not allowed to nave any contact with the dead. Priests were prohibited from entering a graveyard or attending funerals — except for those of their closest of relatives where denial of attendance would be 'inhuman.' It is almost as if God ("Pure life) is God/and Death ("Anti-life) is Death/and never the twain shall meet. The classic exception to this arm's length treatment of death is the period of the High Holy Days. On Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur the tradition deliberately concentrate* our attention on death. From the New Year to

the Day of Atonement ten days later, the Jew is taught to focus on the vulnerability of life. Human beings cannot be mature until they encompass the sense of theirown death. The terrible sense of shortness of human existence gives urgency and significance to the totality of life. Sometimes, we experience this gift of deeper life after an accident, critical illnens, or the death of someone close. Too often, the effect fades as the presence of death recedes and the round of normal life becomes routine again. The Days of Awe structure the imaginative encounter with death into annual experience in the hope that it will not be lost but will recur to liberate life continually. Unlike all the other Jewish holidays, neither Roah HaShanah nor Yom Kippur is linked to remembrance of liberation or the commemoration of catastrophe. This i» the time for the individual to concentrate on mortality and the meaning of life. The encounter with nonexistence is set off by the awareness of creation. Whatever is bom, dies. By tradition, Rosh HaShanah is the birthday of the world, the anniversary of creation. Then, too, the image of being on trial for one's life which dominates this period jolts us into heightened awareness. "Who shall live and who shall die?" This question pones the deeper issue: if our life ended now, would it have been worthwhile? Are we grateful for the miracle of our daily existence? The trial image captures the sense of our life being in someone else's hands. The Sliofnr of Rosh HaShanah proclaims that the Judge before whom there is no evasion or hiding is now sitting on the bench. Sharpened self-awarenesa, candid self-judgment and guilt flow from the possibility that a death sentence may be handed down at the end. The climax comes' in living out 'death' on Yom Kippur. On this day, traditional Jews put on a kittel — a white robe also worn when one is buried. The life processes of eating, drinking, washing, and sexuality are stopped for twenty-four hours. Guilt (in the form of confession) and encounter with the dead (in Yizkor memorial prayer*) and the final trial judgment dominate the day.

This intense focus on death could turn morbid or nihilistic. Romans exhibited a skull at orgies and cried, "Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die!" But Judaism's encounter with death is in the service of life. Catharsis and reconciliation emerge on Yom Kippur as love and forgiveness come into ploy. "For I do not desire the death of the sinner," cries the Lord, "but that he turn from his way and live!" The liturgy bursts with life. "Remember us for life, King who loves life; write us in the book of life, for your sake, Lord of Life." The people of Israel cornea out of Yom Kippur — reborn. Forgiven and pure, at one with its God and its way, it renews life with vigor and love. '; To know how fragile the shell of life is, is to learn to handle it with true grace and delicacy. Only one who realizes the vulnerability of loved ones can treasure every moment with them. "The unexamined life is not worth living," mid Socrates. The examined life is very worth living, is the message of the High Holy Days.

On denying our humanness By Rabbi Myer S. Krlpke It was Socrates, who said, "The unexamtned life is not worth living." Judaism might well put it, "the unethical life is not worth living." What makes for the authenticity of our lives? An easy cop-out is offered by many religions, including post-Biblical traditional Judaism: We are meant for eternity — and human life is immortal. Beyond this life beckons another, more beautiful, more joyous, more enduring than this one. Thus we need not worry about the temporary character of the life that we see; it has meaning and authenticity beyond anything that the senses can ascertain.

Actually, Judaism has a more difficult, yet a more satisfying criterion of authenticity: the ethical life is its own guarantee of auCouncil Huffs thenticity — for in the ethical life we declare ourselves B'nai §E?a@I to ho children of God Being Sunday, September 11 children of God means first KevorOvos II a.m. and foremost not that we Oak Hill* Cemetery "worship" Him in any YOM KIPPUR formal sense, but that we Friday, September 16 live ethically.

B'nai Jacob Adas Yeshumn

An illuminating suggestion for this phrase is offered by the great 12th century Hebraist, mathematician, astronomer, and Biblical commentator Abraham ibn Ezra. He suggests that the passage means that the besetting sin of the children of Israel was that they denied, in word or deed, that they were children of God. Doing so, they denied their humanness and tore themselves loose from the very anchor of their authenticity. "Lo banav mumam:" their basic defect was their defection: they denied that they were Hii children. The ten-day period in which we find curatives, the Days of Penitence, should help us to focus on these themes. Mankind, in the overweening pride of nations, certainly teems to deny thai we are His children, that nations must act ethically. We have come to take it for granted that nations act in "their own best interest*." It is precisely here that religion must offer it* critique lo nationalism, a critique sharp and vigorous: the conduct of nations must not deny humannec**, must not deny that mankind, collectively, constitutes the "children of God." It in in ethical conduct, in human decency, that the individual lift', the national life, and the life of all humankind, find), itii authenticity.

Just to show you that 1930 wasn't so far back, let's take a look ut 1928, A careful look, since thfr Press of that year is yellowed and fragile, almost instant confetti. Prices? Brandeis advertised a epecial purchase of 72,000 pairs of ladies silk hosiery. They were $1.29 per pair. And a sale on towels gave the customer a choice . . . 19*, 25t or 29t each. Other bargains were Camay soap at 3 bars for 29*. Johnsons baby powder for 20« and Pcpsodent toothpaste at 39*. Cosmetics included Edna Wallace Hopper Vanishing cream. It worked so well it vanished altogether! In 1928 the Congregation of Israel of South Omaha announced it would tear down the old structure and rebuild a new synagogue at 25th and J. Estimated cost was $27,000. The JCC faced possible financial problems and launched a membership drive (I presume they avoided a crisis) and new street car tracks were to be laid from Pork Avenue west to 38th street. At a cost of $51,400 that is. Young Abe Kutelman won second place in the international AZA essay contest — the subject was The Future of Judaism. In the JCC Senior Club council debates, the premise waa: Resolved, That Conservative Judaism Should Be Encouraged In Preference to Orthodox and Reform Judaism. (Imagine, all that spirited thinking way back then.) A half page ad urged all to be sure and visit the Rinlto theater, where At Jolson was starring in The Jazz Singer. The ad said, come see and HEAR! The practice of making a donation in memory of somebody was apparently new then, because such an act was often an item on the front page — including the amount of the donation. And Dundee was being built in those times, according to a story about Sam and Joe Wolf, who were building a $250,000 apartment complex at 49th and Dodge. It was described as U-shaped, 3 story with 14 apartments, all to be equipped with the latest "modern conveniences, such as electric refrigerators, built-in kitchen cases (cabinets?), metal sinks, tiled bathrooms, etc." And that's the way it was, 55 years ago.

By Sandi White CLUB 50 The waterBlides were a great success. Club members flew down the slides making trains, having races, but always having fun. A big welcome to the new 5th graders that joined us on Monday: Dan, Derek, Stacie, Steve, Chad, Danny, Kevin, Kim, David, Melissa, and Aaron. I hope you'll all join us for the Kurt Ranch on Sept. 18!! CLUB 78 It may have been a scorcher of a day but that didn't atop us from having a good day. Space Ball was hot but some champs were found that day! The Karts helped to keep everyone cool but the Shasta helped more! Join us September 11 for the waterslidea!! DAD & I The Belle of Brownville might have been on water but it didn't keep many people cool as we rode the scenic Missouri. The dads and kids seemed to have a nice time to sit and relax on a Sunday. Watch for the flyer on the picnic at Bennington Park.

Ignorance cannot yield true righteousness. Nor lack of knowledge flower into piety.

Guest rabbi joins Temple for holidays

By Nancy Pearlman Although a little was written in the last column about Family night on Aug. 25, the hit of the evening deserves mention. It was Lou Ellin serenuding Lottie Fogel with "On Moonlight Bay" in his cardboard canoe. The Blumkin Bloomers also should be praised for their routing chorus of songs from the gay Nineties, and their debut of the rhythm band. Musical director Judy Aden and Shirley Schwartz, who accompanied on the piano, always do a fantastic job and the large crowd enjoyed every minute. Ask Ben Mulnik, Ann and Lou Ellis and Benny Meyenson how it feels to win at Ak-sar-ben, but don't ask Karin nnd head nurse Mary Rich who took them on the 17th. They came home in barrels. Better luck next year girls. Hfldassah sponsored a lovely Oneg Shabbat Aug. 27 with special entertainment by Annabel Grnetz who delighted everyone with a concert featuring show tunes and some Yiddish melodies. There were rave reviews from the residents. Annabel ii the grand-

By Margie Somberg "I believe that one should give something back to the community in which one lives, It is a commitment on my part," This feeling provides the motivation that has guided Scott Friedman to choose to do volunteer work in the Jewish community. Scott is the third generation of his family in Omaha who hove given their time and ability in helping others. He has also encouraged his wife, D«bbie, to get involved; and Ills daughter, Jennifer, who is nine months "old, will probably, follow in the Friedman tradition, also. Scott serves on the 8cm Friedman hoard of Jewish Family Service. In his position as treasurer, he aids the director and the president in budgeting for the agency. In addition to the budget advice, he reviews financial statements and report* to the Federation Budget and Planning committee quarterly. Scott feels that serving on this board has been a great learning experience to him. "I felt that I could only contribute financial advice but found out differently. What 1 have done is a lot different than what I thought I could do when first appointed," Scott explains. "I do think 1 understand the way this agency functions after my 2'A yean here. I can make a good decision based on the knowledge that I have gained." He says that one of the benefits of sitting on the JFS board is the diversity of backgrounds of it> members. Scott has a business background, and is a CPA with the firm of Lutz, Kinsey, Friedman and Meyers, PC. Other members of the board are doctors, lawyers, accountant*, real estate sales people and human service workers. Scott feels that all of the members make a contribution according to their field of expertise, and that is what makes this particular group so outstanding. Without tout diversified knowledge, the board would not have been able to accomplish as much, since JFS is involved in to many areas of the community. Scott explained hour the problem* of JFS have changed radically over the year* that he has been involved. When he started, the main concern of the agency WM with the resettlement of Ruwian Jews in Omaha. Now that problem is virtually extinct. Now the main thrust is on family counseling. Thin takes into account such areas as troubled teens, help for single parents, divorce, pregnancy counseling and adoption. There are fine educational workshops conducted which provide teaching and counseling. Scott believes that JFS has become a much more visible agency over the post few years and has done a goodjob of promoting itRelf.

K r a n U said his firm will purchase — or act as consignment broker for — antiques, objects o f art and fine furniture.

Magic Theater looks at teens

JCC artist in residence

B y EUen Gordnma Federation Staff Sine* December 1832 the cultural art* wing of the Jewish Community Center, has been buzzing with theater arts ectivity. The cause of all of this ectivity is Marty Skoraal, artist-in-residence. The purpose of the ortist-in-rtsidence program is to develop and teach class for all ages in the theater arts euch as drama, stage craft and make-up. Mr. Skornal was alto responsible for developing the JCC'e first an-

1

nual full day Summer Art« Camp for children in grades 3-6 and directing the spring play. The comprehensive program was developed to give professional guidance to the JCC theater program. Emphasis has been given to providing education in Jewish culture through the arts and at the same time strengthening the Jewish identity of the participants. The pilot program, to run until the end of 1933, was partially funded by the Esther K. Newman grants committee. Additional funding was received from the Nebraska Art* Council. "The children and adults who participated in the play, in the theater arts classes and the cultural arts day camp hat) positive experiences," said Mr. Skomal. "People need to be educated to the exciting benefits of Relf-expreosion through the cultural art*. And there is BO much good contemporary Jewish drama that people are not familiar with. I think that the theater program in a real asset to the Jewish community."

Ann Kibcl Schwartz, JCC Cultural Art* Director, helps Elana Rod with an art project during tho first Summer Arta Camp. Below, Marty Skomal, artist in residence, leads Camp Shalom participants in creative dramatics.

On its surface, "Fifteen Million Fifteen-Year-Olds " Megan Terry's new show playing at the Omaha Magic Theater, may recall the 1930s "Our Gang" flics. The neighborhood ragamuffins call each other by such epithets es "Snake-hips," escape adult foes by crawling through kid-sized holes in fences, and set off firecrackers under the feet of . unsuspecting policemen. But Ms. Terry is into exploring children's "freah attitudes" toward the world, and thus the show gets inside the minds of children and shows us a nide of them t h a t we never BOW of Spunky, Alfalfa, or Darin. The audience finds that contemporary children have some serious concerns: toxic wastes that can wreck their chromosomes, marriages (their parents') headed toward divorce, alcohol and drug abuse (a favorite Magic Theater theme), urban unrest, the draft, and MX mis-

silts. Ms. Terry's characters dream of a perfect solution to this world of horrors: a new land to be populated only by themselves and their peers. It might be in- • tcresting for Ms. Terry in a future production to show whether ouch an experiment. would be an improvement on adult society or whether 'it would turn into a Lordof-the-FlieB-like world of horrors of its own. "Fifteen Million FifteenYeur-Olds" is tho second in a Beries of three plays which purport to "explore the inner limits" of human consciousness. The third of theBO ploys, "Room 17C," which opens Sept. 9fltthe Magic Theater, is billed as a "wild comedy" featuring an encounter between a successful traveling saleswomen and a man-sized cockroach.

Scientists protest New York — Physicist* from around the world who attended a major internationar scientific conference in Crete earlier this month protested to Soviet nuthoriticn against the refu&al to allow Prof. Armen Khechaturyan and his wife, Svetlana, to attend the confer-

ence and the continued denial to them of exit visas to emigrate, the World Jewish Congress reported. The professor and his wife, leading experts in the theory of phase transformation, first applied to cm* ignite to Israel in July, 1081.

Argov praised London — British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher praised Shlomo Argov, the former Israeli Ambassador to London, as "a true citizen of the free world who choriahes freedom and justice and is utterly opposed to those who assault them."

P r e m i e r Mcnochern Begin of Israel, in a written message to the dinner, said of Argov that "in all his dealings his point of reference was not the pragmatic immediate present, but always how the present relates fo the future peace and security of Israel"
