Tear gas bombs were exploded at the entrance way of a concert hall here last night before the start of a concert by Tino Rossi, noted French singer. Nobody was hurt.
The concert itself passed without incident. In Tel Aviv and Haifa, within the last week, Rossi’s concerts were interrupted by members of the audience who charged the singer with having collaborated with the Nazis during the occupation of France. Police ejected the hecklers in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
