Book Recalls 'Moyne Slaying * Gerold Frank has written a the state of Israel was estab- graphic, well-documented andi lished. dramatic story of the assassin- vation in Cairo during the Second 'World War of Lord Moyne, Brit- sigh Minister of State in the Middle East in "The Deed" (The Musson Book Co. Ltd.). rv As the dust jacket states, «This is the true story of two 'young Jewish boys who sought vto hurry history with a gun and 'were hanged for it." ~ Frank, a former Cleveland "and New York newspaperman and a war correspondent in the Middle East in the Second World War, givs a lucid, fast-moving account of an assassination that helped to change history. It is to his credit that his story never lags, that he is always object- ive, as it races towands its ex- citing and dramatic climax. With considerable skill, he un- ravels the tangled web of dreams and passions, of old memories and misguided ideas and new hopes, which led two boys to the suicidal conviction that a brutal act of terror could help spread independence in Palestine. Frank spent two years in-the writing of this 310-page fact- studded book. This is the story of the two Eliahus, Eliahu Bet Zouri and Elahu Hakim, the one 17, the other 21, who were mem- bers of a secret terrorist organ- ization in Palestine, denounced iby the Jewish community and known as the Stern group. Since 1945, this assassination has stirred uneasy memories in Israel, in Egypt, in Great Brit- ain, and wherever men worry and debate over means and ends, over good and evil. Premier David Ben-Gurion of Israel, who bitterly fought the terrorist for years, renewed the debate a few months ago when he admitted his "reverence for the dedicated patriots such as the men who were hanged in Cairo for the assassination of Lord Moyne"'. While rejecting the Sternist philosophy, he added his belief that Abraham Stern, the poet who founded this group, was "one of the finest and most out- standing figures of the era". The active membership of the Stern gang. at one time number- ed no more than 26; at most, in the span of this story, at 200. The two boys played out their part in their tiny corner of the struggle for Israel and were no longer on the scene when, three years later, the British yielded their mandate for Palestine and _Says Frank in his introduc- tion: "There is no doubt that the deed was one of the great irrita- the great harassments, which so annoyed and confused and bedeviled the British that ultimately they gave the prob- lem over to the United Nations -- and thus opened the doors to the partition of Palestine and the first Jewish state in 2,000 tions, years." Frank was in Palestine and Egypt at the time of the terror. He attended the trial of the two boys in a high-pillared court- room in Cairo. The author claims to have in- terviewed in person nearly all of the 50 persons involved in the assassination. He has spoken to} all the major conspirators, in- cluding the two boys them- selves, to the three men who formed the Central committee of the Stern group, who passed sentence of death on Moyne; to the men who assigned the boys to carry out that sentence; to the men who were their imme- diate supervisors in Cairo. This is an unforgettable book fanatical national- ism. Regardless of whether or not the reader agrees with some of Mr, Frank's conclusions, it deserves a careful reading and study. It is one of the best things of its kind to come along of intense, in many months. Stewardess Hands Out 12 Paper Bags, TORONTO (CP)--An airline stewardess handed out 12 pa- per bags during the first air- plane flight of 41 public pupils who had saved to finance most of the cost of their ride Friday. "But that's not too bad," said Stewardess Lynn Spowart. "Some of them were for the same kiddies twice." The Earlscourt School chil- dren screamed and gulped as the TCA Viscount flew in a tur- bulent area at about 1,500-2,000 feet to get a good view as it circled Lake Ontario and then dipped over ice-shrouded Niag- ara Falls. "T'm_ dizzy" one boy the roller coaster.' Jitters' vanished as soon as the plane landed and the pupils dug: into ice cream and soft drinks.
