He stated that position against the background of a British warning of military intervention if Israel moved against Jordan. He traced the increasing tension In the Middle East to the Communist-Cairo arms deal and said he derived profound satisfaction from the fact that he had succeeded in preventing war in face of the anxieties of the post year. While blaming the Soviet bloc for the mounting tension, he noted that Israel was grateful to the United States for the political and financial assistance It had given the Jewish State since its inception, adding however that Israel would continue seeking arms directly from the United States in view of its recognition in principle of the need to rectify the Imbalance of power. He rejected the Idea of a preventive war, urging instead oil-out efforts to strengthen Israel's defenses, Al the same Ume ho revealed that some 5,000 young Jewish men and women had given their lives a< the price of Israel's independence.

Today, after the very successful first concert of the season, we wish to extend our sincere and hearty congratulations for the work done by Dr. Duncan and the entire orchestra staff with the talented Myron Cohen as conccrtm aster. Bidu Sayao, soprano of the Metropolitan Opera, was the guest soloist of the evening. When did we h-'ar a more beautiful, mare stylistic and ideal Mozart interpretation than by Miss Sayao, »n inter-, prctation, filled with musical culture nnd delicacy whose aftereffect will for long time remain In our hearts and minds. The plan to perform new" or unknown music In these concerts should be greatly welcomed. This time wo heard works .by Prokofieff, the genial Russian composer, and compositions by Vaughn Williams and Weldon Hart.
