President Reuben Soderstrom of

SOderstrOm recently mailed a

there are even some who are of
the opinion that the Israeli army,

A VOTE AND A PRAYER

My grandfather used to recite
"Shehecheyonu" whenever some
new and great event transpired,
as we'll as on the eve of every
Jewish holiday. He gave thanks
to God for having helped him to
live until that great moment. And
so there was for me some nostal-
gia, as we'll as a feeling of his
toric continuity, in the news from
Israel that Orthodox Jews all over
the land recited "Shehecheyonu"
when they cast their ballots in the
first elections of the Jewish state.
Everyone in Israel was aware of
the days historic Importance. In
Jerusalem, balloting began at 6
am, with Sephardic Jew asking
for the privilege of being the first
voter. His request was granted.
In the Arab village of Abu
Gosh, near Jerusalem, the entire
population assembled before the
polling station to cast votes for
the first time in their lives.
Twenty-one political parties pre-
sented states in the election, in
which major contenders were Ma
PAL and Mapam, the Freedom
Party and the Religious Bloc.
Final results showed the majority
of voters in favor of Mapai, guar

the Arab countries are underman-
ned and poorly equipped for de-
fense against major power. And
they even go so far as to state
that Westerners living in the Arab
countries are resigned to the idea
that the Russians can move in
there when they like, if they
should decide on war.
Under these circumstances, Is
rael, the Suez Canal and Cyprus
are considered by them as the
first line of defense for the West
ern powers. The main Western
military and air bases for war in
the Middle East, under existing
plans, are to be in Libya, the Su-
dan and Eritrea. This is because of
the existing theory that even if the
Soviet advance were halted at the
Israeli border, the bulk of the
Middle East would be in Russian
control.
Experts now believe that when
war comes to the Middle East,
the oil in Arab lands must be writ
ten off as lost to both sides. And

you will remember, threatened
suit against Temple Isaiah for
holding it's religious services tenn

And in the midst of all this,

TEL AVN -. Plans are being
worked out for the erection of an
industrial town near Beersheba.
The area is being developed by
"Afikim ba-Negev," Ltd, with the
help of public and private capital.
The new Beersheba will be the ad-
ministrative center of the southern
part of Israel.
According to the plan, about
10000 persons will settle in the
new town in the course of the
next ten years.
ANOTHER SCHEME on which
work is now beginning seriously
is the draining Of the Hule
swamps. The Israeli government
has appointed an expert committee
to help plan the exploitation of
this potentially rich region. When
drained it will be suitable for
dense settlement, since the soil
can be used for intensive cultiva-
ton of very variegated crops.
FOR JERUSALEM, too, vari-
Gus development plans are being
worked out.
