Jewish Writers Get High Praise In Soviet Literary Encyclopedia
People Have a Long Wait For Telephones in Israel
Several Jewish writers received high praise in the first volume of the Soviet Literary Encyclopedia which contains the first three letters (A, B and V) of the Russian alphabet. The foreward said the complete set will have some 12,000 articles on the literary figures of all countries. Chaim Nachman Bialik received much praise and space in the first volume in an article written by a Soviet Jewish literary commentator, Shalom Gordon. Gordon describes Bialik as "the great poet in whom the soul of the Jewish people found its complete expression. “In his best works, Bailik rises to the heights of a national poet, although in others he is steeped in the spirit of nationalism and in the romantic pathos peculiar to the bourgeois Zionist movement,” Gordon writes. Sholem Asch is written of thusly in the Encylcopedia: "He defended the national idea of the chosen people and preached submission patience and religious morality. But at the same time, in some of his great works like ‘Kiddush HaShem,’ he portrayed faithfully the suffering of the Jewish masses.” Natan Alterman is also men-
tioned in a short aritcle as the well known contemporary Israeli poet who, in his poems, condemns and lays bare the real face of the capitalist regime.” The Encyclopedia also mentions Yehuda ben ShJomo Alharizi (11651225) among the medeival Hebrew poets. Attention is drawn to Rachel Bojrnwol, the poetess among Jewish writers currently living in the Soviet Union. “Her poems have been translated into several languages of the people of the Soviet Union,” the Encylcopedia says. "She knew how to describe the Soviet child and adult, and her poems radiate love of nature and the countryside.” English Author Wins Award from Jewish Theatre for Children The Jewish Theatre for Children has awarded its $1,000 prize for the best full-length play for children written in English on a Jewish theme to Pamela Melnikotf of Edgware, Middlesex, England, for her play, "The Ransomed Menorah.” The Theatre expects to produce the play during its 1962-1963 season.
Some 40,000 people in Israel will be without telephones, despite the fact that they have made the proper application, unless the current development program for the installation of telephones is expanded, according to Eliahu Sasson, Israeli Minister of Posts. Sasson said the current threeyear program which provides 80 million Israeli pounds (about $26 and two-third million) for the installation of 60,000 new phones goes only a small way for meeting the present demand. The situation is at its worst in Tel Aviv. There, only 600 new telephones are installed each month, even though there are about 1,300 new applications a month. This, needless to say, creates a tremendous backlog. In April, there were 20,239 pending applications for telephones, representing 80 per cent of Israel’s total applications. The situation is somewhat better in Jerusalem. When a second exchange opend in 1960, all applicants on the waiting list received phones. However, the establishment of the new exchange created an even greater demand and presently there are about 2,000 applications pending in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. According to Sasson, most of these applica-
tions can only be filled with the opening of a third exchange. Haifa is the only one of the three main Israeli cities which is holding its own — but just
barely. Although the number of requests has doubled the predicted amount, it is still possible to supply a phone to every applicant.
