* The Roumanian National rfieater Choir flew last Wednesday by Tarom and will spend a month in Israel.
* The exhibition of Israel Through the Ages, whichwas expected to l)e a highlight of tlie French season, has suffered as a result of the events uf May and June.
It was closed for almost Iwo months and now thiat the holiday season is far advanced, fewer visitors are expected to see the show of Israel's artistic and historical treasures.
* Solomon King, the popular 6'8" Kentucky born Jewish entertainer, whose song. She Wears My Ring, rocketed onto pop charts, loves his kosher food.
His dietary tastes are not surprising. He spent eleven years in theCatskUlBorscht Belt as an entertainer in top hotels.
King is settling InEngland with his wife and four children.
* Bernard ^ar, one of the stars of the hit musical, Man of La Mancha; is working on an L.P. album of the show.
* Israeli impresario Amir am Spektor has a deep link with the group, the Hagash-ash, whom he is promoting. Now their road manager, at one time he was an active colleague. He and the Haga-shash once worked together in a now deftmct group called The Roosters.
Graduates of the Nahal (Israeli Army) theater group, Spektor and his friends formed The Roosters during the last month of their national service so that they would have something to do when
thiey returned to ciyilijui life. But^ektor alwayspre-ferred the administrative side and finally left the footlights "to act backstage in^ stead".
* The eighth Isirael Music Festival opened in Jerusalem last Tuesday with the world
.premiere of Testimonium Jerusalem, a sound paigeant of the city's history with modernistic music by five Israeli composers.
It tells the story of the city from the time of Abraham to the arrival 6f Israel's paratroops at the Western Wall last year.
* A new nightclub, Man-dy's, opened in Jerusalem. It is for members only and for tourists who produce their passports. The name is provided by Mandy Rice Da-vies Shaulson who already has a similar club in Tel Aviv. Mandy will be at the Jerusalem club three times a week.
The club's co-owners, Moshe Hefetz and Amos Cohen l)oth are Jerusalemites.
There is seating accommodation for 120 persons in comfort. It has two bars, a dance floor, complete with stereophonic music, and light meals are served.
* The first feature fUm about the Six Day War to be made in English and in color is being completed in Israel. Called, Every Bastard a Kmg, it is a product of the film company (owned by Chaim Topol in conjunction with Israeli impressario A. Deshe) that made Sallah, and is being directed by Uri Zo-har, Israel's leading film director. It incorporates the story of Abie Nathan, who
flew on a "peace mission'^ to Cairo.
Abie Nathan is played by Oded Kotler, who won the best actor award at the 1967 Cannes Filnii Festival for his role in. Three Days and a Child. The other leading character, that of a cynical non-Jewish American Journalist who becomes involved in the war, is played by William Bergerj with Pier Ah-gell as his wife. Topol will sing ,the film's theme song.
* Lena Home, whose grandmother was the child of a Negro slave woman and her white owner, always was warned that white men "will sleep with you but they won't marry you." So when she met Lennie Hay ton. white. Jewish musician, she was cold and wary. They now have been married for twenty-one years and she mentions him softly, saying that he taught her how to accept love.
"Early in life I was without any kind of family; I was left around with people and I didn't let myself loveanyone because I'd always lose them, youi see. Now I'm not afraid to open my heart a little to people. It's nice/'
She feels she didn't know how to love duriiig her first marriage when she was very young. She has two grown children ftom that marriage: Gail, who is married to director Sidney Lumet, and Ted, a youth worker in Watts.
There was a time in New York when she and Hayton couldn't get an apartment because she was black or because he was Jewish.
She is 51 and looks 35.

Tel Aviv — Veterans of the Kibbutz movement in communal living, planning for a changing world, envisage a new university for the movement, says a report by Howard Taubman in the New York Times.
Eliezer Hacohen, a member of Beit Alfa, the first kibbutz to be established in what was then Palestine, almost 50 years ago, and a leading Israeli economist and thinker, has written a paper examing the pros and cons of the university idea.
His presentation is objective and balanced, but be leaves no doubt that he would
Unusual story by Ruth Bradsky

Show up. Those whodid came late, failed to let us know when they were not coming, zipped through the housework in time for endless telephone conversations, ate meat lunches with dairy silverware, left ornaments ostentatiously out of place as proof that they haddusted them; and then leftsuddenly, without notice. Mama halfheartedly tried "the treatment" on every one of ttem-but nor^e responded; they only acted suspicious, responding, I suppose to the suspicion Ma refused to admit she harbored. Bessie was a little unhappy because no one stole anything; but on the whole, her hands foldied across her beUy denoted quiet triumph; especially since Ma had suddenly become overly careful and cooked only the exact amount
needed per meal and no more. Even the approachhig 'event' about which Stan and Pearl were soreticent failed to cheer Ma.
She got more and more testy until she finally had c^n words with Stan and PearU She bad prepared a big Friday night dinner, but Pearl, now hoticeablybigger whenever she bothered to dress, turned up her nose .at everything. She simply couldn't see a dinner with bread and potatoes and noodles at the same time.
Ma said sharply: "So if you'd eat a decent meal and not run out for sodas with
Stan every night, you'd be better oft" Pa intervened uneasily: "Ralzel, you don't reniember how you used to love to *npsh' at night when you were expecting a baby?"
There was a sudden, extended sUence. "What baby?" Stan aisked cpiletly. Every eye was riveted on the bulging belly - but, alas, it was no more bulgy than the rest of Pearl. £^e had simply grown fat aU over.
Next morning, while Pearl and Stan went apartment hunting. Ma went over to Addiie Faiy's to make her long delayed apology. But she no longer lived there.
From the neighbors Ma bad nothing but needles. Ad-die Fay was now doing "day's work." True her rates were high, very high, but they let Ma know that one day of Ad-die Fay was better than a week with the usual maid. But no matter how hard put we were, Addie Fay never would give us a day's work. The succession of hewmaids continued endlessly.
Every year, after the Yom Kippur guests leave, we reminisce about the year Pearl wasn't pregnant. She's as big as a house now, but to this day no one ever sees her eat much.

like to see the new institution come into being as soon as possible.
At 70, Mr. Hacohen is as forward-looking as a young man. He recognizes that his generation, which founded the kibbutz movement, chalked up impressive achievements Without milch formal education.
But there is no automatic assurance, he contends, that the kibbutzim wiU be able to function with maximum effectiveness and efficiency unless they take account of changes not only in the world but in their midst. He points out that "the kibbutz scene is becoming increasingly more complex."
One has but to spend several days in a kibbutz, such as the Dalia complex in central Israel, to discover how chaUenging the problems are. For there three generations live and work side by side. The initial preoccupations with agriculture and animal husbandry continue but have been mechanized and rationalized so that only a smaU percentage of the kibbutz population is needed to carry on and even increase produc-Uon.
Other kibbutzim are equally large and variegated. According to Mr. Hacohen, "the level of knowledge required for the solution of social problems, economic prol>-lems, cultural, educational, organizational and administrative problems is much higher than during the early periods of creatihg. a kibbutz." *
As Mr. Hacohen points out, 1,150 kibbutz members out of anadultpopulation of about 50,000 ar« either enrolled in Israel's InstihiUons of higher learning or taking part-time courses ranging from the sciences to the arts. The demand for Ughly trained pe(^le WiU increase.
