Mr.. Schmid, after some

SENSITIVE ISRAEL REPORT GIVEN

/ is unique and her style of writing
is fresh and alluring. She reveals
the spiritual heart Of people, the
enthusiasm which springs within,
a love of life and achievement
which knows no bond or limitation.
When she titles her book, Israel
Without Tears" she proves the
strength of this conviction, for she
maintains that for centuries people
have spoken of the Jewish people
as a people of sorrow, torn from
pillar to post with martyrdom and
suffering. Today the State of Is
rael has changed the personality
of the Jew. No longer a people of
sorrow, but a people of joy, a peo-
pie who defied Hitler's threat of
determination and took destiny into
their own hands.
NOW THERE reigns spirit of
laughter, a people who no longer
cringe with fear in the ghetto, but
who walk proudly and unafraid.
With every difficulty they have
their sense of humor; they meet
every problem with 9 sense of as
surance that the will to achieve
must prevail.
, Though the people are in a pio-
neering stage in building the land
(, and its industries, Israel is a cul-
tural nation that hungers for mu-
sic, drama and literature. It's two
great exports, our author reports.
are oranges and pianists.
Israel is a country of music.
Wherever you go you can hear
voices singing, violins humming,
and musicians are as common as
palm trees. Not only are the Is
raelis concert-goers, but they are
equally lovers of the theater. In
Tel Aviv alone there are three or
four houses of legitimate stage
drama whose season runs year
around. Every artist who visits
Israel is amazed, at the musical
spirit that pervades the country
from the metropolis to the farms
where farmers come from miles
around to listen to concerts in the
fields of Israel's star-lit open-air
theaterS.
'TSRAEL WITHOUT Tears" Is a
book to read and to remember, for
it stirs the heart with its message
realization that Israel is an eter
nal people whose future contribu-
tions to world peace and harmony
are still to be written.
Ruth Gruber says this in her
own moving words: "Israel - a
country creative, exciting, the most
exciting country on the map in
these postwar years, but where
was it going, what did it see as its
place in the world, what promise
did it make its own people? It
takes many words in English, but
in Hebrew only three words: Love
your fellow human as yourself"

some day they would return to
Zion to rebuild the land of their
forefathers. Never once did they
relinquish their historic claims to
the land of Israel. In their prayers
festivals, and teachings burned the
faith that God would bring the peo-
pie back to the land. There they
would beat their swords into plow-
shares to reap the harvest of a
renewed life.
THIS UNDYING faith was finally
realized on May IA, 1913, in the
proclamation creating the State of
Israel. Since that time a great de-
velopment has taken place. Many
people wonder just what the state
is like today. What is the spirit OF
its people? What are the problems
which face this ancient people that
is today the youngest of nations?
This is the subject of an exciting
and moving book, "Israel Without
Tears" written by Ruth Gruber.
AS an American deeply interested
in her people, she made an exten-
sive trip and study of Israel.
She studied the people not only
with her mind but with her heart.
Deeply sensitive to the inner feel
ings of the people, she has the
gift to portray them in a mood
which is alive and exciting. She
has the power to penetrate into the
heart of the people and make their
strivings rich with meaning and
their ideals noble in every sense
of the word.
PARTICULARLY striking in Ruth
Gruber's study is that her approach

Teens in Car
Stop and Rob
Officer'sWife

Fairfax police broadcast a
lookout last night for a carload
of teenagers who forced a Navy
lieutenant's wife of the road
near Parklawn, Va, on Brad
dock road and robbed her.
The victim, Mrs. E. Squier,
jr., TAO Yellowstone drive, told
police that one of the youths
was wearing policeman'S
jacket and hat in the holdup,
which occurred about 8:45 pm.
Another youth, she said, wore
a pistol strapped to his hip.
Mrs. Squier told police she
was returning home from a
shopping trip when the car
pulled alongside and crowded
her until she was forced to
stop. She said two or three
of the youths jumped out.
One of them opened the
door of her car and grabbed
her purse, which contained
about $40. she said. Then the
youths got back in their car
and it raced away.
Mrs. Squier said at least one
of the group was laughing as
if the whole thing was a lark.
Parklawn is a new develop
ment near the Alexandria line.
Police said the spot where the
robbery occurred is on a rela-
lively dark stretch of road.
