Founded in 1874
To circusgoers the name of
the Wallendas has been known
since well before the turn of
this century.
The aerialist dynasty was
founded in 1874 in Germany by
Karl's grandfather, also named
Karl. The troupe came to the
United States in 1928 and
starred with the Ringing Bros.
and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
The present Karl and Her.

Dieter. Gunther is a son of

Carl'S son.
The Wallendas have had
other brushes with death but
escaped.
In 1884 some of the troupe
then performing slipped and
started to fall in an act at
Akron, Ohio, but others caught
them. In the circus fire at
Hartford, Conn.,, in July, 1914,
the Wallendas were aloft but
slid down ropes and escaped.
In 1887 a violent storm hit as
the group was performing in
Schenectady. N. Y, A cable

Mr.. Hansen's shot of Jana
was slightly hazy, he said, be-
cause Il was shaking so much.
I kept thinking-'don't fall,

The Wallendas dropped Jana
into the improvised net. Then
they walked the wire to safety.
Jana bumped her head on

Suddenly spectators among
the 1000 children and adults
gasped and became taut.
The pyramid came apart.

Il saw that Dieter Schepp
was having trouble holding his
balancing pole," she said. HE
was the lead man in the
human pyramid.
r"They fell 36 feet. That's as
high as we go in any coliseum.
Lots Of time we work closer to
the floor.

was getting tired.

into the air slightly to grasp it
with a better grip.

his balance and fell.

Moscow Asked
To Permit Links
With Relatives

JERUSALEM (JTA-The Hista-
drut. Israel's Labor Federation,
has addressed an urgent appeal to
the Soviet Union to recognize the
right of Russian Jews to maintain
links with their brethren through
out the world and to allow those
who wish to do so to migrate to
Israel.
The appeal was published in the
Histadrut daily, Davar, over the
signature of the Histadrut's execu-
tive committee and it's Center for
Culture and Education. The mes
sage recalled that a decade ago,
"a Jewish writer's and intellectualS
were executed in the Soviet Union
after a secret trial.
The appeal said it appeared that
the present Soviet government had
reservations about the trial and
executions and apparently regard
ed them as sins of the Stain per-
iod. The appeal added that al
though in recent years, the Soviet
leaders had been redressing many
acts of criminality of the Stain
era. the 'fnca1culable outrage of
the eradication of Jewish culture"
in the Soviet Union still had not
vet been set right.

Change Urged

'THEREIN lies the best aSsur-
ance for the Jewish future" he
told 200 Zionist leaders from all
parts of the country. He called
upon the Zionist movement in this
country "to bring about funda-
mental change of climate in the
American Jewish community" with
emphasis on cultural work.
DR.. Max NusSbaum, president of
the ZOA. told the gathering that
the gap between the people of Is
rael and the Jewish communities
in countries outside of Israel is
continuing to widen. He said that
America and the free world as a
whole, "must no longer be classi-
fled in the category of Galut Glands
of dispersion" and that "the Jew
ish community in the United States
and the Jewish community in Is
rael constitute two permanent
parts of one of the same ethnic
group called the Jewish people,"
THE NEWLY elected ZOA presi-
dent voiced concern over the fail
ure of Argentine authorities to
take stern measures to suppress
action of terrorism against Jews.
He urged the Argentine govern
ment "to investigate the link be-
tween the current anti-Semitic ex-
cesses and the large-scale infiltra-
ton of former Nazis from Ger
many into Argentina"
Neumann also spoke on the Situ-
alton in the Middle East. He said
that "in the face of the continued
build-up of Egyptian arms by the
Soviet Union we cannot be content
with repeated assurances by our
government that it is concerned
for Israel's security"
