Yehudi Menuhin, who is currently in this city on a concert tour, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency today that just before he left Israel recently he created a fellowship fund for a musician to write a violin concert which Menuhin would play the next time he visits Israel.
(In Washington today the B’nai B’rith announced that the Hedera ledge of the B’nai B’rith in Israel has given Mr. Menuhin land on the Mediterranean Sea coast in gratitude for his playing a benefit concert for an old age home which the ledge is building in the town. Mr. Menuhin has since purchased additional land adjoining the gift plot and plans to build a villa there, the B’nai B’rith said.)
