iifl Protects Bights ©f Jewish Voters Albany, N. Y. (JTA)—The New York State Assembly has passed and sent to the Senate a bill to insure that' Jewish voters in New York state will not be deprived of n chance to register because of religious date conflicts. The bill was created to prevent such situations as the one which occurred in Westchester County last year when much of the designated period for local registration coincided with a Jewish holy day and the Jewish Sabbath. The measure notes that the fifth Thursday before election day this year, a day for registration in most localities, falls on Rosh Hashana. The bill asks that the pool day be shifted to the filth Tuesday.

Godfrey Replies Remember my recent open letter to Arthur Godfrey? Well—I got an answer—I think. What I mean is—I'm sure I got a letter from Arthur Godfrey, but I'm not sure it was an answer to my letter to him. You will recall I asked him to show me how cutting out Bas Mitzvahs would stop the war in Viet Nam and that I would cancel the April 22 Bas Mitzvah planned for my daughter. I was referring to his comment in an interview in a Miami newspaper in which he said "The cream of the bloody crop is dying over there and we are still having our Bas Mitzvahs here." The following is the letter I received this week from Mr. Godfrey. * * * Dear Mrs. Gcrelick: I thank you for your interest in the recent unpleasantness. I guess the best way to answer you is to ask you to read the enclosed copies of some pertinent correspondence. I have not seen Mr. Mindlin's editorial of which you speak and. I hope you won't think me impertinent when 1 say that 1 really couldn't care less what he thinks or what he publishes in his paper. I know that my close friends of the Jewish faith 'and I have many of them, thank goodness!) are all fully aware of my philosophy and my complete lack of bigotry and they know that what w:is printed in the paper originally, which brought about the incident, was another one of those thoughtless, outofcontext deals with which a certain type of journalist loves to stir up controversy. That feller Mindlin you write about must be some sad kind o' sack if I can judge from the quotes you printed. He sounds a little .sick in the head! And what a pity it is that a mentality like that has even limited access to the public through the printed word-there are etill an incredible number of people in the world who will accept as gospel anything they see in print. None of the oral media will ever be able to achieve "that much influence. Well, more power to you and yours. Stay Well and happy. Sincerely, Arthur Godfrey •

ights of the F/Vsf Week New York (JTA)—David Ben-Gurion was visibly moved this week by an announcement by the Israel Education Fund of the United Jewish Appeal that tin; Fund will build a hifili school at the regional educational center in the Negev founded Dy Israel's first Prime Minister. The announcement vvus made at a dinner in his honor given by the Fund in the first formal event of a three-week whirlwind tour of the United States by the 80-year old elder statesman for the UJA and other Israeli programs, Miami Beach (JTA)—More than ,1,000 Jewish leaders from nil parts of the United States and Canada gathered here at the International Inaugural Conference of Israel Bonds, c e l e b r a t e d the SiOth birthday of David Ben-Gurion, Israel's eldest statesman, by purchasing S.'IO, 150,000 in Israel bonds. This was the largest amount ever realized by nny inaugural conference in the lliyear history of the Israel Bond Organization. Philadelphia IJTA)—A speech this week at the inaugural dinner of the Federation of Jewish Agencies I!l(i7 Allied Jewish Appeal climaxed David BenGurion's visit to Philadelphia. Earlier in the day. Mr, Ben-Gurion took time out from his busy schedule to lay a wreath at the Monument to the 6,000,000 Jewish Martyrs on Benjamin Franklin Parkway as a huge crowd looked on. Pledges made in response to the former Prime Minister's plea for maximum support ol UJA's immigrant absorption programs in Israel were called the most impressive in a decade by Philadelphia leaders. Effective absorption, especially through improvement of social and economic conditions and expansion of educational opportunities in development towns, is the key to the future, Mr. BenGurion asserted.

Methinks he missed the point of my column. At any rate. Mr. Godfrey sent me photo copies of a batch of correspondence ho had with others concerning the incident—much too much to reprin), but it's all available in my office to anyone who would care to read it. Among the letters was one from Rabbi Berel Wein of Miami Bench asking Godfrey why the Jewish religious ceremony of Ba.s Mitzvah was singled out to represent the apathy of Americans to the war in Viet Nam. In a Icnglhy reply to Rabbi Wein, Godfrey attempts to explain why. He tells (if his many Jewish friends "stand-up commcdiims" who always refer jokingly to a Bar Mitzvah. Then Godfrey writes "I have-never attended a I'.ar Mitzvah hut had gathered from my friends lhal.it was some kind ot eomiiig-of-age party or something at which everyone had a good. time. I myself have joined in the kidding on many occasions. I never heard of a Has Mit/vah until I attended the function involved here. However, I made it a point to find out that night and was told by my Jewish hosts that it was something relatively new which had'been adopted as the feminine sequel to the Bar Mitzvah so that the girls wouldn't feel left out." Godfrey then goes on to describe the lavish Ba.s Mitzvah party he attended complete with two dance bands, with a final explanation that he used Bas Mitzvah as an example of the "life as tisunl" .J.._ l'. . j activities going on at home because he was not aware that it had r; [j itio\- s i n : wu:r> any religious significance. "From our comedian friends," Mr. Godfrey writes, "we had gathered that Has Mitzvnli was a Yiddish Slli.r 1 f.n , H- ,I, P, ' u ik, i, l. 1i ,l l. ,' ,i 1l .* u ' . u u h ' . i i txpression meaning debutante ball or something." Mr. Godfrey ends ]i'' was .'i Tuit H i l l H I ' ,111' I , his letter to Rabbi Wein saying "you must believe me sir when I lell you that there is no single drop of racist blood in my veins and I never intended it as a slur to the Jewish community among who J \/\ffjfQ gg / I number ninny of my closest, dearest friends." •

I have a few final comments for this whole Godfrey business. Assuming he is sincere in meaning no slur to the Jewish community, I have to conclude that either Mr. Godfrey doesn't have as many Jewish friends as he claims to have, or else his many Jewish friends aren't very Jewish. How else could one explain his obvious, complete and admitted ignorance of the meaning of the Bas Mitzvah ceremony. In the interest of brotherhood, I think we ought to lake Mr. Godfrey at his word, and accept his apology for an unfortunate remark. And to make sure it doesn't happen again, I suggest that Mr. Godfrey consult with more authorative Jewish sources before accepting the interpretations of "his many Jewish friends" about the meanings of Jewish religious ccremcnicr:. _ -In the interest of better understanding between Christians and Jews, I'm extending an invitation to Mr. Godfrey to join the congregation at Temple Israel on April 22 so that he may witness a Bas Mitzvah ceremony held in a synagogue rather than a ballroom, with religious organ music replacing the two dance bands. Try to make it Mr. Godfrey, then you'll have the unique opportunity to show your kind feelings toward your "many Jewish friends" by explaining to them what Bas Mitzvah really means. And while you're here, maybe you'll have a chance to explain to us that business about your interest in a restricted hotel in Florida. You failed to mention anything about it in your letter. An oversight no doubt.

By CAUL ALPERT Haifa—When an Israeli says to his companion, "Let's go to a show tonight," he has a great variety of presentations from which to choose, most of them in Hebrew. Stage lights and kliegs nre burning brightly in theaters all over the country. Much could be written about the movies, but (hi? time -.let's -take a -!onk at the stage only. Theatrical Revolution A theatrical revolution took place here in February, I!lfi4, when an ambitious and farsighted imprcssario, G i o r a Gorljk, bought the local rights to "My Fair Lady," and had the entire show done over into Hebrew, Tens of thousands of Israelis swarmed into the old Carl Alpert abandoned Jaffa theater which he reopened for the occasion—and a new era was born in the Israel theater. Other successes established the formula. "The King and I" and "Fiddler on the Roof" earned more than enough money to- cover losses sustained by "Oliver" and "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Broadway's smash hit, "Man of LnMancha" is now filling the house nightly in Jaffa, and even hesitant critics have been swept along with the popular enthusiasm of the crowds. Revivals If an American musical can succeed in translation, why not a domestic one? Oldtimcrs remember the Goldfaden Yiddish operettas which charmed- audiences some decades ago. The formula seems to be good, because two native Israel musicals arc making money. One is "KazaMan," a hit play of 10 years ago, which has been taken out of mothballs, dressed up, and set to music. It is a comedy satire on the efforts of a North African immigrant to be accepted among the old-time aristocracy of Tel Aviv. The second is "Tite Kiuff and the Cobbler," ' bated on a Talmtidic legend of a shoemaker who changed places with King Solomon! As literature
it predates Mark Twain's "Prince and the Pauper" by more than a thousand years. The 1967 version, surprisingly, still draws crowds. I say surprising, because more than a quarter million Israelis have already seen it. The Classics . But if your tastes don't run to musicals, there is still ample classical fare. Shakespeare, Chekhov. Ibsen.- Anatole France. Strindberg? All are ' now running on ih£ boards. If you prefer something more modern you can reserve seats for shows by Brccht, Ionesco, Genet or Lorca. All are in Hebrew translation of course. Those who are seriously concerned for the future of the Israel theater deplore the current trend which awards box office success to light musicals or to the classics. Performances of "Hedda Gab'lcr" or "Nathan the Wise" or "Othello" do not assure a culturally productive stage. What of Israel's own authors and playwrights? Local Talent Here the pickings are unfortunately lean. Two productions are currently being offered. "The High Season," by Aharon Megged, is the story of Biblical Job in modern allegory. Today's Job overcomes all his misfortunes, and despite the wrongs done him, chooses to forgive and forget and to trust his former enemies. Then cornea the rude awakening. The play is a thrust at those who have quickly reconciled themselves to the new Germany. "Black Man's Burden," by Yosef Lapid, is a satire on Israel's relations with emergent Africa. An idealistic Israeli entrepreneur is anxious to do everything possible to help the new developing states—until an African government official asks for his daughter's hand. Another interesting phenomenon has been the rebirth-of the Yiddish stage. Having broken all records in Hebrew, "Fiddler on tlie Roof" was translated into Yiddish, and again packed them in. The frequent visits by the distinguished artisf, Joseph Buloff, are always awaited impatiently, but at the same time almost anything in Yid dish seems to succeed. What show shall we see loniglil? You have your choice.

STATEMENT BY ARTHUR ADLER IN BEHALF OF
Once again I select the Jewish Press as the medium through ; which to Inform the community of the most recent developments at Adler Bakery. On February 14th I arranged a meeting with Rabbi Isaac Nadoff to discuss the readiness of Adler Bakery to comply with the required standards of Kashrus. Rabbi Nadoff clearly outlined the Kashrus requirements that need to be complied with. Adler Bakery has chosen to be governed by these requirements. Because Adler's Bakery Is a 365 days a year operation, s e r v i n g also the non-Jewish community throughout the area, it is necessary for us to remain open during the Passover holiday. My products will, therefore, not meet the required regulations of Kashrus for a period of 10 days after the Passover holiday, by which time all chometr ingredients in my premises during the holiday will have been replaced, and my utensils Kashered.

ALL-STAIi GAME The opening game oi the AllStar games played in Sioux City last Sunday resulted in a very decisive victory for the Omaha squad, as the Omaha 5th and Ctri graders waltzed to a 43-13 victory. Bruce Richards was the big offensive scorer with 16 points. The Omaha crew used a pressing defense to completely stymie their opponents. John Freeman, Eddie Epstein. Steve R o s e n . Mark Ruben. Jay Jacoby and Bruce Richards were instrumental in stealing the ball several times from the flustered Sioux City quintet. It was a complete and gratifying team victory. Other team standouts Included: Doug Taren. Larry Weinhoff, Bob Colin. Aaron Cohen. Dave Walker, Len Hochster and Gary Cohen. 7TH AND 8TII GRADE ALL-STAR GAMK The 7th and 8th grade team was the only team to lose on the Sioux City trip. The fine playing of the Sioux City group resulted in a big half time lead for them. When the Omaha team changed its defense, they managed to cut the lead to 6 points at one point in the game, but it wasn't enough. Mechanical errors, plus the excitement that is always prevelant in All-Star games were the downfall of the Omaha crew. This Sunday, when Sioux City plays in Omaha, the outcome should be a reversal of last week. HIGH SCHOOL ALL-STAR GAME The greatest and most exciting of all the All-Star games ever played is the only way to describe this game. Sioux City, a much taller team than the Omaha ftoys, opened up an early lead. When Omaha caught up, the game became a seesaw battle. The shooting by . both teams was phenomenal. Sioux City was racking up the points on "shots from underneath. The Omaha team, led by May-' nard Belzer and Dave Katz, was consistently hitting on 25-30 shots. With Omaha trailing by 1 point. 80-79, Dave Katz tried a long jump shot, and was fouled after the shot as the buzzer sounded to end the game. K&tz - was awaf tied a one-find ffiie. free " throw opportunity. He sank the first shot to tie the game, and made the winning fre'e throw to give Omaha the victory. Katz scored 27 points and Maynard Belzer hit the nets for 29. Todd Greenstone played his usual magnificent floor g a m e , with great passing assists and uncanny dribbling ability. ALL-STAR SCHEDULE The Omaha J.C.C. All-Stars will be hosts to the Sioux City
