'ISWas Hardship Days Fading By INEZ ROBB large," the article begins, a friend explained to me, v- VV- VtV rf p-w I i I' 'At, Jb C- camp. One can only thank Gad that these men nni uowcn are smiling and animated and tha't they can laugh at themselves. Because tourists may be disappinnted that the Exodus days are fading and that some of im pioneering hardships are ending. I went to a charity ball In the Sheraton-Tel Aviv the other night and it might have been a similar soiree in the ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria. Shades of Exodus! Still they can laugh at themselves.

The Jerusalem Tost, after noting that the new hotel is the first in this country to provide good linen, silver cutlery, and handsome china for its tables together with comfortable chairs, concludes, "but that is part of American hotel-keeping, not of Exodus, where nobody had time to eat with anything but his fingers." It may be a blow to Exodui partisans, but in Israel today forks definitely come before fin gers. TKL AVIV A sore problem hpre is how in the midst of growing prosperity, ease and industrialization shall the country live up to the Image of heroism, privation and hardship created by Leon Uris in his book, "Exodus," and furthered by the movie? This problem and the alarming prospect of disappointing tourists who expect to see every Israeli packing i gun and dressed in homespun is examined in a lightheaded column by an unidentified writer for the Jerusalem Tost who journeyed to Tel Aviv to inspect the new Sheraton-Tel Aviv Hotel. This is a splendid $4,000,000 American-Israeli venture on the shores of the Mediterranean, where every prospect pleases and even man seems improved. It is fairly ethical to stral jrom another newsman, so I shall borrow a paragraph or two on the Exodus problem from the Jerusalem Tos(. "The, Sheraton Hotel 'and I have the car all gassed up to take them to Nazareth or Jerusalem or even from Dan to Beershcba.

But they say to me take us out to- that place where "Exodus" was filmed'." To be honest, "Exodus" has set a standard not too difficult to meet. Side arms may be passe and the girls on Allenby Street interchangeable with those on New York's Fifth Avenue (at the hairdresser's yesterday a poodle came in accompanied by a woman), but underneath the veneer there is still plenty of "Exodus." This is, as America's Robert Frost says, a land of waifs and one can't help being touched, very touched. There is something touching mid truly terrifying to some-one like myself who has never lived in danger of his life, to walk along the street these warm, sunny days and see on the bare arms of men and women the tattooed num bers of the concentration Courier-Pout Photo ins took place, are Mrs. George W.

"There is plenty of space to sit about, both where everybody will see them and in corners where they won't be bothered even if they are well-known. "The hotel also says its services will be good. That is all one can reasonably ask, and if we feel at homo here then the tourists who have been reading 'Exodus' will be most disappointed. "This is it, of course," the story continues. "And not too many of us make enough effort to live up to Exodus well.

'Exoilus has laid a heavy responsibility on Israelis. There is even discontent among the guides here in the Holy Land. Tourists no longer ask to see the great Biblical sites that attracted tourists or thousands of years ond for which they risked their lives in arduous purneys and in long wars.
