Fox Point. The program will begin at 12:15 p.m., and will include a dessert luncheon. Chairman of the fashion show is Mrs. Max Mallin, Israel bond chairman for Hadassah, who is making preparations for the program in co-operation with Israel bond drive chairmen and presidents of Hadassah units. Arrangements are being made for an outstanding commentator for the fashion parade, with six Milwaukee models from the Milwaukee Society of Models showing the garments.

"We are assured of an exciting event, one that will interest every woman in Milwaukee," said Mrs. Mallin. "The creations shown will reflect the graciousness, the love of color and line, of simplicity of tradition, that characterizes the variety that is Israel. This is a program that few will want to miss." Story of Peaceful Creation Among the garments that will pass in review before the audience will be a jumper with tweed jacket, matelasse jacket and skirt, faille dress and jacket, alpaca suit, brocade dress and coat, grey cotton suit, cotton print suit with white satin bodice, gray velvet dress, navy and white cotton skirt with white sweater, coral sweater, burnt orange sweater, poncho jacket-toreador pants, three piece white and red cardigan suit, gray and pink knitted suit, beige slack suit, black taffeta raincoat, red and white reversible raincoat, green iridescent raincoat, blue floral ball gown, white satin ball gown with stole, charcoal wool knit ensemble, and many others. The designers include Lola Beer, credited with the finest workmanship in Israeli fashions; Lili Sehleifer, Irma Zoe Alenbik, and others of equal repute.

The fashion and apparel industry is a growing industry in Israel, and is providing jobs for thousands. The industry makes use of the wool, cotton and synthetic fiber industries of the country. The underlying theme of the show is the story of peaceful creation in a climate of freedom and self-expression. The Israel fashions have won the commendation and admiration of designers throughout the world. 'What Price Child Prodigy?" Is the Question By HUBERT C.

LUFT better future as envisaged by in spite of everything people are really good at heart. Father Otto Frank was here in Hollywood during the pre-production period to talk with Stevens and to discuss the part with Miss Perkins. In the meantime, he has returned to Basle, Switzerland, since he cannot bear to see any re-enactment of the tragedy. But he has endorsed every aspect of the motion picture production and Millie Perkins has his blessings. Will Take Mexican Trek Kirk Douglas, whose current epic "The Vikings" is not to this reviewer's liking, plans another four million dollar spectacle to take him even further into the past.

"Spartacus," to be directed by Laurence Olivier who also will co-star, is based on the Howard Fast novel, a best seller in Europe where it has been printed in five languages. "Spartacus" is the dramatic tale of a gladiator who lead a ''ebellion against the Roman empire, was defeated by Pompeius and, with many of his followers, was crucified in 71 B. C. E. Douglas will produce, with financing and distribution by Universal-International, the film and will play the title role.

Olivier portrays a Roman general and Charles Laughton a wily politician. In addition, Douglas is preparing still another two and a half million dollar venture, to precede "Sparatacus," to star him and Rock Hudson in a Mexican setting. The title of the movie "Viva Gringo," to be followed by a film for Hecht-Lancaster, Shaw's "The Devil's Disciple," to be made in England later this summer, with Olivier and Douglas once more sharing co-star billing. But this is not all. Douglas, the busiest man in Hollywood, is about to complete a Western at Paramount.

BR. 1-3411 Avin Sabla laansrd labia HOLLYWOOD Motion picture producer-director Samuel Fuller tells me about the movie, "Verboten," which he just completed at the RKO studios. The prime question asked on the screen is: Was there a difference between a German and a Nazi? "Verboten" utilizes Himmler's last ditch effort of organizing an underground where wolf organization to carry out Hitler's plans and fight the American Army of Occupation. The personal story of the movie is one of significance. A young German girl, in order to prove to her 15-year-old Hitler youth kid brother what Hitler and the Nazis stood for, takes him to the Nuremberg Trial of major war criminals.

With his own eyes the youth sees captured German films and his philosophy of hate is smashed by the isolated and mass atrocities committed by the Nazis. This boy has been educated to believe that the Jews and Poles started the war and is stunned and revolted when he learns that Hitler used the Jews to camouflage his plan of wiping out all Christianity, making "Mein Kampf" the Bible and himself God. So far so good, Mr. Fuller. The picture is now in the cutting room and I will view the footage as soon as the editing is completed.

I only hope the picture will have the hard-hitting quality missing in most of the current films dealing with the second World War and the menace of Nazism. An Added Dimension I visited the set of "The Diary of Anne Frank" at Twentieth Century-Fox studios in Beverly Hills and talked to Shelly Winters, Joseph Schildkraut and Ed Wynn who portray important roles in the movie. My impressions will appear in a later column. George Stevens, the producer-director, has added dimension to the stage play, enriched the characterizations and enlarged the setting to reach oul into the world surrounding the eight Jews in the attic at 2(13 Prinsengracht, the house in Amsterdam overlooking tlu' canal where Anne planned what has become the most famous diary of modern times. Miss Winters told me that Stevens revealed to her his sentiments about the first.

American picture to deal with the extermination of European Jewry produced since war's end. Stevens wanted to show to the world that human beings have been capable of committing such horrifying atrocities without being stopped by their fellow men. The veteran film maker, one of the first to enter the German concentration camps in 1945, feels that the Nazis' crimes are the responsibility of all mankind. A Fight for A Better Future Millie Perkins, an 18-year-old, non-Jewish girl from Passais, New Jersey, was cast as Anne Frank, because this youngster is a typical teenager easily identified with any family. By not limiting the tragedy of Anne Frank to the soecific world of European Jewry, Stevens reasons, the movie will present the issue in broader, human terms and people everywhere will sit up to listen and see.

Beach WORLD U. Ribalow herself on record by saying: "One thing I would suggest is that Bobby spend more time studying and less time at chess." Paul Abram-son, who also has written under-standingly of Fischer, reports that Bobby plays chess while eating, keeps a board always near his bed to solve problems in chess. "It's chess, chess, chess from the minute he opens his eyes in the morning," his mother remarks. And she reveals that Bobby owns 40 chess manuals, some in foreign languages which he has learned well enough to follow the moves. "He's not interested in anything else but chess.

Where's his future? He doesn't even want to go to college." And then, hopefully, "Maybe when he gets older he'll change. I want my Bobby to develop like other boys." The Boy Is Brilliant Bobby thinks well of himself as a chess player, and no wonder. But ho has the arrogance of the true master. When he was 13, he played Sammy Reshevsky (also a prodigy of his own time) and Reshevsky beat him with little effort. Still, Reshevsky remarked that "the boy is brilliant; he'll go far." And how did Fischer react to this? He was busy pointing out, to whoever would listen, where Reshevsky had made mistakes and how Reshevsky, if he had been better, would have won more quickly! Altogether, Bobby has been playing the game for less than 8 years.

When he was 6 his sister bought him a set, but he remained indifferent to the game until two years later when he saw Max Pavey, a master, playing 20 matches simultaneously at the Brooklyn Public Library. Bobby sat down at one of the boards and as soon as he made a few moves, Pavey concentrated on him. Finally, Pavey won, but after 15 min- W. Mitchell atS. ltth W.

The national goal is to increase membership throughout the country by 10 in honor of Israel's 10th anniversary. "By increasing the membership ranks we are there-by strengthening Hadassah's program in Israel," remarked Mrs.

Rose Halprin, acting chairman of the American section of the Jewish Agency, left for Israel on an El Al Britannia to attend the plenary session of the Jewish Agency in Jerusalem. Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president of the Zionist Organization of America, also left for Israel to attend the Jewish Agency session as member of the executive. Prior to his departure, he announced that as president of the Confederation of General Zionists he will arrange in Israel an executive meeting of the Confederation during his stay there. Mendel Fisher, executive director of the Jewish National Fund of America, left by plane for Israel to participate in important JNF deliberations in Jerusalem.

During his stay there a forest bearing his name will be established. Accept a favor, and you sell your liberty. Publius Syrus utes of hard thinking. A chess teacher named Carmen Nigro saw the game and offered to take Bobby under his wing. Soon Bobby's talents were obvious and in 1 95H he won the national junior championship (he was the youngest winner in history) and tied for fourth in the U.

S. Open. He was later invited to participate in the Lessing Rosenwald tournament and Bobby was the only player to win from Reshevsky. Hans Kmoch has said of this game, "I never saw any game played better. It was the game of the century." Bobby came in eighth, but won the brilliancy prize.

Max Pavey came in behind Fischer. When Bobby won the U. S. open chess championship in Cleveland he beat the best American players, except for Reshevsky and Larry Evans, who did not compete. He now says it will take him ten years to become the chess champion of the world.

This is a prize which comes to few masters, but Fischer is still young. He may make it. He may have problems now, and later. As a chess player, he is, however, a fascinating personality. to Like violin prodigies, chess uro- digies, too, have their troubles.

Sometimes, again like their musi cal counterparts, young chess mas ters do not develop the maturity of adults (Paul Morphy, the outstanding American chess genius, had mental troubles, and so did other grandmasters of the game). Without predicting the future, it is worth commenting on the com plexities facing young Bobbv Fischer, who at 14 is one of America's best chess players and one of the major 20 in the world. Bobby recently starred in the United States title tournament. playing brilliantly, and winning a wonderful game from Arthur Bisguier, the defender. Yet no matter how well Fischer performs, his astounding capacity for chess bothers his mother and in a recent newspaper feature released by the North American Newspaper Alli ance, the question is asked, "what price child prodigy?" Here are some of the bits and pieces concerning Bobby Fischer which place him in focus as a per sonality and chess star one more great Jewish master of the game: Hans Kmoch, general manager of the Manhattan Chess club, where tsobby plays a few evenings a week, says: "He's so great that he shows the same potential as the immortals Paul Morphy and Jose Capablanca.

He may some day become a world champion." Another member of the club is reported as asserting, "He's so sensitive that he used to go off and cry whenever he lost a game. He hates to lose, and we sort of used to baby him around here. But he doesn't cry any more. He's growing up." "I've visited university guidance centers for gifted children," his mother said. "Mostly they suggest I enroll him in a small private school, where he would get closer attention.

But private schools are expensive." One of his teachers has placed N. Third at W. Garfiald N. 12th at W. Vliet ANTI fid?) FOR Crossway, Fox Point, have been finalized, announced Mrs.
