...Healing. White-haired, 67-year-old Padre Antonio cannot recall his first healing. "When I was ordained a priest," he says, "I was sent here. The people were very poor, and when they got sick they had no money for medicine.

Gratitude from a Waitress. Last May, invited to conduct the London Philharmonic for one concert, he replied that one concert would not be worth his while. Britain was poor, but not too poor to help. Last week's concert was the first of six in a Strauss festival: two he will conduct himself; the others will be given in his honor.

General D'Arey, a recent British military commander in the Holy Land, stated that Haganah could defend itself against all external Arab forces for at least one year. Although Arab military manpower approaches 100,000, the quality is poor and it is considered significant that the one force capable of serious military action is the British-trained-and-officered Trans-Jordan Arab Legion...
