I THE WISCONSIN JEWISH CHRONICLE July 7, 1950 OUR FILM FOLK By LEON CUTTERMAN Catholic Bishop Lauds Israel Accomplishment ERIE, PA. (JTA) The Catholic Bishop of Erie, the Most Reverend Bishop John Mark Gannon, expressed "great admiration for the substantial accomplishment Israel has made during its short existence." Bishop Gan-on, who is also treasurer of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, spoke at the first celebration of "Middle East Day" at Gannon College, a Catholic institution here. The celebration was held to honor Rabbi Abraham B. Shoulson, Professor of Hebrew and Middle East Studies at the school. Bishop Gannon characterized Jerusalem and Israel as the seat of religion in the development of civilization.

The Right Rev. Dr. Joseph J. Wehrle, president of the college, who also spoke, traced the historical development of Israel from the fall of the Second Temple to the present day. Dr.

Moshe Keren, counsel at the Israel Embassy in Washington, who appeared in place of Ambassador Aubrey S. Eban, declared that "Israel's mission in the Middle East could and should be, by example, cooperation and exchange of knowledge and goods, to teach neighboring nations modern ways of life and democratic freedom."

"I always sound out of breath," he says.

"I had to work hard at control of my voice and learn to keep the trembles out of it. I had to control my nervousness, I have trouble with the letter 'L and I have a tendency to a strong New York dialect, which is 'fine when I'm playing heavies, but not good otherwise." Elliot was already established as a radio star when he met Cathy. Friends had been telling him about a red-haired MGM actress with the same last name as his. When radio producer-writer True Board-man cast them both in the same show one night in 1941, he introduced them: "Miss Lewis, meet Mr. Lewis." "We made a date for supper immediately after the broadcast," Elliot recalls.

"Naturally we had to see if we were in any way related. We weren't then, but we are now." Still on Honeymoon He married Cathy on April 30, 194.1, after a two-year courtship, while on sick-leave from an Army hospital. "The honeymoon," he says, "is still going on." Cathy, too, was born in 1917, but in December, a month later than Elliot. She gave up pictures when she met her husband in 1941 and he won her both to a radio career and a full-time job as his wife. Their future plans contemplate continued acting and writing, though Elliot will place more and more emphasis on his producing and directing.

Despite the many hours a week their schedule calls for, they find time for quite a number of other activities and even for hobbies collecting first editions, rare prints, building model trains, collecting stamps and playing piano. Elliot is also a partner in a dress shop and a stock-holder and vice-president in Command Radio Productions, engaged in packaging shows and making record albums. Cathy and Elliot, have two albums of records titled "Happy Anniversary" and "Happy Holi day." Elliot wrote the stories for both, the first of which concerns a young couple reminiscing about their past, present, and future an- nversaries. 1 he second is similar, concerning their "happy holidays." Cathy sings several numbers in each album. Elliot's capsule formula for suc cess: "Work hard, be kind, have a sense of humor and, above all, think!" At least it works for him and Cathy.

(Copyright, 1950) Seek to Establish Tent Villages in Israel JERUSALEM (JTA) Plans for the resettlement of 60.000 im migrants and their families in 'tent villages before the rainy season starts have been worked out by the Jewish Agency's Ab sorption Department and the Ministry of Labor, it was announced here. The scheme calls for the estab lishment of colonies of canvas-walled, stout-roofed huts near work centers in various parts of the country. A total of 25.000 such tents will be rected near Safad, Tiberias, Hedern, Herzlia, Natha- nya, Petach, Tikvah, Jerusalem and Bcersheba. Morrison- Third World Maccabiah tain of the University of Connecticut track team, also received serious consideration. Fine Group of Athletes The U.S.

team that will represent the U.S. will be the finest group of Jewish athletes that our colleges, YMHA's and Jewish centers can produce. Many individual Jewish athletes have been pointing to this international sports event for the last year. George Flesch, a representative of the World Maccabi Union, who is visiting in the United States at the present time, tells us that already twenty seven countries have indicated that they will be represented by full teams and by individual athletes at the Maccabiah. It is hoped that by the time the final entries are received over 40 countries will be represented.

The physical facilities for holding the games will be improved by the construction of a number of new facilities that are under way. All in all the 1950 World Maccabiah will be a good preview for Jewish athletes who will compete in the next Olympiad at Helsinki in 1952. (Copyright. JTA Air. and Mrs.

Radio Are HOLLYWOOD It is impossible to write about Elliot Lewis, producer-director of CBS' "Broadway Is My Beat" and "Pursuit" shows, without devoting half the column to Cathy Lewis, his actress-w i for so closely have" their careers been entwined since their marriage that they are known in Hollywood as "Mr. and Mrs. Radio." Both were solidly a b-lished in the etvtertainm world when they first met, but together they have worked to their lna Outlrrninn present eminence as two of the best in their fields. Their fields the plural is underlined include for Elliot acting, writing, directing, producing and teaching; and for Cathy, writing, acting and singing. Lathy currently is heard as Irma's friend on the CBS show iwy frieno jrma, as the nurse Kathryn Milford on "The Great Gildersleeve as an assortment of female menaces on "Sam Spade," frequently as the feminine lead on "Suspense" and "Adventures of Philip Marlowe," and a whole gamut of other roles on top shows on all networks.

In addition he teaches classes in radio at the University of Southern California, Both have appeared in recent films, Elliot in "Ma and Pa Kettle Go to Town," for Universal, and the two together in "Story of Molly Both Elliot and Cathy write for radio, notably with several excellent "Suspense" scripts on which they collaborated. He was born Elliot Lewis in New York City, November 1917, where he spent his boyhood, attended high school and got his first taste of theater in undergraduate productions. "I found," he says, that acting was fun." Not a Native Son The Ixnviscs moved to Iis Angeles in the early '3()'s and Elliot completed his education at Los Angelcw City College, studying dramatics, harmony and piano. His professional debut was made in on a CBS dramatic show.

He was paid five dollars to play one of the incidental characters. Six months later Elliot withdrew from school to devote himself entirely to radio, where he has winked continuoiusly since 1930, except for his period of Army service during the war.

Zaac U. S. Concerned Over Fate of Balkan Jews NEW YORK (JTA) The State Department shares the concern of Jewish organizations in the United States over the situation of Jewish Labor Committee was officially informed by the Department. The communication emphasized that the U. S.

Government, together with the British Government, has formally charged Rumania, Hungary and Bulgaria with systematically violating the human rights provision of their peace treaties under which they are obligated to guarantee to all persons under their jurisdiction human rights and fundamental freedoms. The case is now before the International Court of Justice, the communication said. Brith Sholom Supports Yemenite Settlement ATLANTIC CITY (JTA) A pledge that the order will support "to the fullest extent" the Brith Sholom settlement in Israel, where a large number of Yemenite families settled recently, was one of the resolutions adopted at the 48th annual convention of the Independent Order Brith Sholom of Baltimore held at the Breakors Hotel here. The project, known as the "Brith Sholom Nachl," was officially dedicated on April 4, 1950, in Israel, with Past Grand Master Bernard and Mrs. Danzansky, of Washington, D.

in attendance at the dedication ceremonies, as representatives of Brith Sholom. CAUSE OF MEAT SHORTAGE There is a vaudeville house in Tel Aviv which has a very musical name. It is called the Le Lo La. One of the stories a comedian there currently relates concerns the meat shortage in Israel. "Why?" someone asks, "is there a meat shortage in Israel?" And the answer is: "Because the 'behames' don't want to come to Israel." The word "behames" means literally cattle but it is of course applied to "foolish people." The ioke is thus uncomplimentary to the Jews who do not want to come to Israel.

BRIGHT BOY Mr. Carmel asked a little Israeli lad what his name was. "Dan," he replied. "Oh," said Carmll, "Dan to Beersheba." "No," said the Israeli lad, "Dan to Elath." So you see, they are revising the Bible in the light of modern history.

NO DOWN PAYMENT take 3 months to pay Isaac Carmel, who has been visiting in Israel, is back in America with a few new nifties from the Jewish state. One I like is about the taxi driver. The new Hebrew term for taxi driver is nahag, but Jews are sometimes prone to fall back on the old term "baale goleh" which, of course, was the term applied to the driver of the old horse and buggy. As most of us know, the term "baale goleh" has also something of a contemptuous significance. A baale goleh is ignorant, uncouth, boor, and a simpleton.

To come to the story, a Jewish visitor from America insisted on calling a modern Israeli taxi driver by the term baale goleh. "After all," he said to the taxi man, "what is the difference?" "There is a big difference," returned the nahag or taxi driver. "When a baale goleh drives, the ferd (horse) is in front and the passenger behind. In the case of the nahag, the driver is in front and the "leni" is behind." WHERE THE TORAH WAS GIVEN Mr. Carmel tells of an incident which occurred when he was stopping in Tel Aviv.

It was Shabuoth and an extremely pious Jew from Brooklyn did not like the fact that the Israelis observe only one day of that Jewish holiday. "We should do something to teach these Israeli Jews that Shabuoth is a two-day holiday," he said. "Listen." replied Carmel. "don't try teaching these Israelis any religion. After all you know, the Torah wasn't given in Brooklyn.
