He lived in the Arab states i for several years, as an on-the-spot reporter for the Jerusalem Post. Widely known for his comprehensive understanding of Middle East problems, Mr. Heliman enjoys a unique background of boyhood Ftudy in pre-Israel Palestine and the Middle East.

A noted tenor, Cantor Levy is associated with K'hilat Jeshurun Synagogue in Chicago. He has made numerous appearances on the concert stage, radio and television and is considered to be one of the outstanding young cantors of his generation. A double octette voice choir which is part of the famous Janowski concert choir will back up the soloists and demonstrate the music discussed by Mr. Janowski.

Fischer merely smiled and took the victory. When it was all over, Fischer was No. 1 and Reshevsky had tied for third, fourth and fifth with Addison and Evans. He was obviously past his prime and Fischer stood alone at the top. jniiiiiimiriiimTTmrmTnniJJiHiiiiiinrnrrrirrrMrTtirTTtrrTJiririiiiurrrrriinifriitrriJiiiri iiirrim riiijfMtiiirrtMKKrrfiruiittritPinntiiiiiinEiniEiiiiiJiiniJia how pleased she was to accept the Most Promising Newcomer Award" for British youngster Rita Tushingham who appeared as an Ugly Duckling very much like Shelley did in her earlier roles in "A Taste of Honey," transformed to a full-blossomed woman through the miracle of love.

As chairman of the International Film Committee of the HFPA I had been directly resoonsible for the Golden Globe screenings. Shelley Winters herself was the recipient of a "Best Actress" nomination for her performance as the uphappy wife of James Mason in Stanley Kubrick's highly controversial movie, "Loli-ta." She played also one of the leads in George Cukor's filmiza-tion of "The Chapman Report" which gained four Foreign Press nominations but no Golden Globes at the annual Awaras party oi our organization in which, for the first time, a representative of the Anglo-Jewish press participated as an of ficer. A few days prior to the swank affair. I had seen Miss Winter's latest movie, "The Balcony," based on the off-Broadway play by the French author Genet a pretty sick persiflage of the status of the world of today. The picture was done on a low budget by independent producer Joseph Strick who accentuated the aspects of perversion and sheer sensationalism but by doing so, lost the story points of the "angry" young Frenchman completely.

Shelley evidently was ill at ease about her portrayal of a Madame in a house of prostitu tion, that she told me bluntly she had not seen "The Balcony" after completion. The only good thing in the movie next to her down-to-earth characterization is Peter Falk, the gifted young actor (of the prize winning television drama "The Price of portraying a shifty would-be dictator of an unidentified Latin country. Only last year, Shelley Winters had returned to Broadway where she had started her career 20 years ago now to appear in Tennessee Williams "Night of the Iguana," which didn't match the success of her portrayal in "A Hatful of Rain." but certainly had a much 1 run as the ill-conceived "Girls of Summer of recent vintage. WINNER OF TWO "Best Actress" Academy Award nominations for "A Double Life" and "A Place in the Sun," and finally recipient of the coveted Oscar for her portrayal of the sloppy Jewish neighbor in "The Diary of Anne Frank." Shelley Winters was born as Shirley Schrift in St. Louis, Missouri.

August 18, 1922. Hcs family moved to Brooklyn when khe was still a child. She attended Thomas Jefferson High School and clerked in a 5 and 10 cent store. After graduation Shelley worked as a Seventh Avenue fashion model while trying to break into the theatre. Making her rounds of Broad-w a casting offices, she finally landed a small part in the musical "Rosalinda." It lead to a job in the national company of "Oklahoma." Shelley also was on the road in "Meet the People," "Streetcar Named Desire" and "Born Yesterday," doing summer stock between major assignments.

Shelley reveals to me that she made her screen debut in 1945 in an unlisted bit part of a chorus girl in the Rita Hayworth starrer "Tonight and Every Night," a musical dealing with the Windmill burlesque theatre of London the only stage of the British metropolis which didn't even close one night during the "Blitz." At Columbia Pictures for a couple of years in a number of "Vamp" roles in and pictures, she was ready to quit and leave for New York when William Goetz cast her for the role of the tawdry waitress murdered by Ronald Colman in George Cukor's "A Double Life" Cantor Norton Siegel Beatrice MADISON The 15th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel will be celebrated at a lecture and musical concert Tuesday evening, Apr. 30, 8:15 p.m., at the Hillel Foundation building, 611 Langdon st. Prof. Max Janowski will give his views and comments on the development of Jewish mu sic, ana me program wm ieature Cantors Norton Siegel, Maurice Levy and Beatrice Horwitz as soloists. Cantor Siegel, of Beth El Ner Tamid Synagogue, Milwaukee, has a rich background in liturgy and litureira music and a resonant, yet lyrical, bass baritone voice.

He has appeared in many radio, television and concert stage programs. Miss Horwitz, who was born in the United States but spent her childhood in Israel, has been a so SPORTS By Harold How Fischer Won In a later January column, I reported that Bobby Fischer won the United States Chess Championship of 1962-63. Now, however, there is a complete analysis of Bobby's victory in the February issue of Chess Review. It was Bobby's fifth victory in this important championship and it is worth reporting in greater detail. In all, Fischer won six games, drew four and lost one, his very first game against Edmar Mednis.

He won from Sammy Reshevsky, from Addison, Steinmeyer, Sher-w i Berliner, and Bisguier. He drew with Benko, Bryne, Rossolimo and Evans. In the final round, he and Bisguier were tied for first. Not too much except pride was involved in this last game, because on the basis of their performances, both Fischer and Bisguier had qualified for the Interzone finals. Bisguier got up a Berlin Defense against Fischer's Ruy Lopez.

For a while Bisguier had a little bulge against Fishcer. According to some experts he had a winning game. Then, as often happens, he made a mistake and Fischer took quick advantage of this error and in 37 moves he won. Highlight of the Match The fifth round provided the highlight of the match, for it was then that Fischer met Sammy Reshevsky. These two masters have been the best American players in decades and they haven't met very often, except for the i match they had not long ago, in which there was a hassle and Fischer re-f to complete the series of games and Reshevsky was named the winner.

Fischer was convinced he had been robbed and Reshevsky accepted the victory as his due. Fischer's confidence was well placed even though in his loss to Mednis he was defeated for the first time in a U.S. Championship. Against Reshevsky he showed little caution. Early in the game, he exchanged Queens with Reshevsky and then he moved his Pawns about in seemingly careless fashion.

But by the tune the game was ad-jmirned, it was clear that Fischer held a commanding lead, with his SPring 4-1111 kHlwuk9. Wit. Beth Am Center 5418 W.

A number of successful but less meaningful pictures such as "Cry of the City," "Great Gatsby," "South Sea Sinner" and "Frenchie" (remake of Marlene Dietrich's followed. In 1951, she approached George Stevens for the much-sought-about part of the frustrated factory girl in the nun ization of Theodore Dreiser's "An American Tragedy" finally to become "A Place in the Sun." After two rejections, Shelley convinced Stevens that she was right for the role in spite of the superficial glamor at that time associated with the young actress.

Before she finally went into the trying portrayal, she appeared opposite the late John Garfield in the explosive drama "He Ran All the Way" and in the slapstick comedy Behave Yourself" for author Nor man Krasna and his co-producer, the late Jerry Wald. AFTER "A Place in the Sun" won an Oscar nomination for Miss Winters, she free-lanced in such important films as "The Big Knife" and "Executive Suite." In Charles Laughton's filmization of "The Night of the Hunter," she gave an outstanding, deeply penetrating I portrayal of the mother cornered by an insane-killer. In a gayerj mood were "Mambo" made in Ita- I ly, and the British picture. "I Am A Camera," in which for the first time she identified herself with a definite Jewish character. In 1955, she returned to New York to star in "A Hatful of Rain." In her spare time, she studied with Lee Strasberg at the Actors' Theatre.

After returning to the coast, she appeared in a great deal of tel-e i i films before accepting George Stevens' offer for "The Diary of Anne Frank." For this role, she was required to gain 25 pounds and to lose in the progress of the filmization a total of 35 pounds to I indicate the rigors of self-imposed isolation. Shelley Winters whose older sister is married to George Boroff, owner and producer of Hollywood's Circle Theatre, a small theatre-in-the-round catering mostly to Jewish organizations, herself is quite active in charity work, serving for fund-raising affairs of the United Jewish Appeal, Mental Health and Cerebral Palsy drives. Most recently, she was honored by the State of Israel for her contributions to the new country and humanity at large. Gen. Yakir, Executed by Stalin, Rehabilitated as Soviet Hero LONDON (JTA) General Jonah Yakir, Jewish hero of the Soviet armed forces who was executed in a Stalin purge in 1936, has now been officially rehabilitated as one of the USSR's "great men," according to a dispatch from Moscow received here.

Gen. Yakir is one of a number of Soviet heroes whose lives are depicted glowingly in a new movie just released by the Soviet Film Unit for Documentaries. The film is entitled "Lives of Great Men." Jonah Yakir, who was born and brought up in Kishinev, entered the Bolshevik army as a youth and, by 1918, had become a general. He was hailed widely by the Soviet leaders for his victory over White Guard anti-Bolsheviks in the Battle of Zhitomir, in 1918. However, in 1936, he, along with Soviet Marshal Tukhachevsky and other high officers of the Soviet army, was accused by the Stalin apparatus of having had treasonous dealings with the Nazi regime in Germany.

All, including Yakir, were executed, after a show trial typical of the Stalin purges.

It is one of the best liked of cold cuts, whether in sandwiches or as part of a platter of assorted meats.

It is equally delicious hot, for while it may be served simply sliced, it blends well with many sauces. Those who consider fresh tongue somewhat insipid prefer the flavor of the smoked in our traditional Sweet and Sour or Raisin Sauce. The pungent taste of the meat contrasts well, too, with delicately spiced Grape Sauce, a recipe for which is given today. Smoked tongue also makes a novel, but delicious hash, which is served with seasoned mayonnaise. This hash may be "stretched" with poached eggs.

If the tongue appeared very dry when it was purchased, it is a good idea to soak it overnight in cold water. This will plump it and remove some of the excess saltiness. To cook the meat, place it in a large saucepan, add fresh cold water to cover, '4 cup vinegar, 2 tablespoons dark blown sugar, 8 whole cloves, and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover the pan, then simmer about one hour per pound, until the flesh is fork tender. Remove the tongue from the liquid and trim off the skin, and the small bones and gristle.

Use the finer slices plain or in sauces, and the root end and less attractive slices for the hash. Strain the broth and reserve, as it may be utilized for a fine split pea soup as well as the Grape Sauce. To prepare the soup, cook 1 cup of quick-cooking split peas in 2 cups of water, 3 cups of strained tongue broth, and 1 cup of canned tomatoes for 5 minutes until it reaches a boil. Remove from the heat and let stand for one hour, then cook again for 5 minutes, until the split peas are tender. Puree, or whirl in a blender until smooth.

This amount makes about 3Vz cups of soup. SMOKED TONGUE WITH GRAPE SAUCE of a large, cooked smoked tongue, sliced 1 seedless lemon 6 whole cloves 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 rups strained broth in which the tongue rooked 1 stick cinnamon si cup grape jelly 2 tablespoons water Use the choice slices of the tongue. Cut 4 thin slices from lemon, cut each slice into quarters and reserve these to use as a garnish. Squeeze the juices from the remaining part of the lemon and strain. Place this lemon juice, the tongue broth, cloves, cinnamon, and jelly in a 1 -quart saucepan.

Heat un I Lr HAW SURE" I BOB MILLER CO. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT and kiuuftyfifT I til the jelly melts, then simmer for 5 minutes. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water, add a little of the sauce, then stir this into the rest of the sauce. Cook and stir for 5 minutes longer. Remove the cinnamon stick and the cloves.

Add the tongue slices and serve as soon as they are thoroughly heated. Arrange the meat and sauce on a hot, deep platter, and garnish with the reserved lemon pieces. This amount serves 6. SMOKY HASH 3 cups minced, cooked smoked tongue 3 cups finely diced cooked potatoes 1 medium onion, finely sliced 1 1 cup water Salt and pepper to taste 'i teaspoon Worchestshire sauce 2 tablespoons chicken fat 1 i cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon prepared mustard Poached eggs if desired This recipe serves 4 or 5 without eggs. With eggs added it will serve 6.

Combine the tongue, potatoes, onion, water, salt, and pepper, lightly but thoroughly. Heat the chicken fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Press the hash mixture evenly into the pan, then cook over medium-low heat, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Do not stir. Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, and Worcestshire sauce and place in a small serving bowl.

If you wish poached eggs with the hash, prepare one or two for each portion in a separate pan. When the hash has cooked for 30 minutes, place the skillet under the broiler for a few minutes until the top is a rich brown. Carefully un-mold on a hot serving platter. If you are adding eggs, make slight depressions in the top of the hash with the back of a tablespoon and slip a poached egg into each. Pass the seasoned mayonnaise separately.
