FAGE 8 DAILY CITIZEN FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, If Pantomimists' Hopes High little bit of hick, Tucson Way be U. S. starting point for an old European the art of pantomime. The recently arrived Swiss family Kessler hopes to create an Interest In pantomime here that will branch out to the rest of the country. Jan and Dora Kessler, and their 7-year-old son, Clemens, five at .1455 N.

Fremont where they've turned their living room into rehearsal stage. A black curtain strung across the room makes a backdrop and Dora plays a small organ to accompany Jan's portrayals of. for Instance, a vagabond's dream. The Kesslers are in Tucson because a brother-in-law, planning to open a school here, invited them to America. They had met and liked American students attending Swiss universities.

Jan said, "I told Dora, 'We are young enough to go to America. Let's go'." And they did, closing Jan's studio and boarding the plane with high hopes. Unfortunately the school plan did not work out. The brother-in- Jaw has moved to California and Jan now hopes to start a professional career as a pantomimist. Pantomime, an ancient art, is popular in Europe but relatively unknown in America.

Performances were given in this country last year when the French panlo- mimist, Marcel Marceau, appeared in a series of recitals. Jan began studying pantomime 15 years ago as a hobby while he was an art student. "A refugee from Hitler's Germany came to Basle during the war," he explained. "He was an old actor. He taught me the basics.

Sincp I was a little boy, I've had my eye In the direction of the stage." He performed with children's theater and other amateur theatrical groups in Basle but never really thought about working professionally as an actor. As an artist, he had exhibitions in Basle and small Swiss towns, then Copenhagen, Denmark and Prague, Czechoslovakia. The Uni- I Remember our September Clearance Monday!

Saudi Arabian minister of state Ahmad Shukairy said, today that Israel, through Zionist organizations and "mercenary" United States congressmen, had launched campaign against A rab econ- Dmy. Shukairy specifically mentioned Sen.

Wayne Morse (D-Ore) as being involved in the economic warfare against the Arabs. "Here in the United States," Shu- kairy-told the United Nations General Assembly "Israel has become the sole of American Jewry." "Jews, whether they be Americans or Russians, should dedicate themselves devotedly and exclusively to their own countries," Shukairy shouted. "Their loyalty and their flag should belong tvhere they belong, but not in Israel." Shukairy said Morse, citing Saudi Arabia's refusal to allow the Arabian-American Oil Co. to employ Jews in its country, formally proposed in the U. S.

Senate last August that no economic assistance be extended to Saudi Arabia until such restrictions were removed. "It requires no genius to dis- "cover the author of this move," he smells of Israeli instigation." Shukairy said Morse's charges against Saudi Arabia contained "insolent and abusive falsehoods not worthy of a Congress that represents a polite, courteous and dignified nation." "Campaigns (by Israel) to raise funds or to mobilize senators and congressmen. of Morse's caliber have become the order of the day," I have "cited this instance of Sen. show how Israel through Zionist organizations and mercenary congressmen has recently launched this campaign against Arab economy Never before has a congressman stepped out of the bounds of his duty towards his electoral college, to hamper the national economy of a sovereign state." Shukairy did not deny Morse's basic charge. "It is true that we do not allow Jews to enter our country, nor do we allow Jews to be.

employed in any job in our country. We do not deny the fact. This is not a matter of discrimination In the least, as Israel, is suggesting. This Is not a matter of anti-Semitism. Semites cannot be anti-Semites," he said.

Shukairy followed the line set by U.A.R. delegate Farid Zelneddine before the assembly yesterday in replying to complaints by Israeli Foreign Minister Golda Meir against halting Israeli shipments through the Suez Canal.

A spokesman for the firm which is prime contractor on the huge project, said: "We intend to resume negotiations and are asking the unions for a meeting as soon as possible." dispute causing the strike was the company's refusal to pay $6 daily subsistence.
