line and notably clarified the issues at the outset
for press and delegates alike. In this and in
long address delivered at the close of the general
policy debate held in plenary sessions at Flushing
Meadow the first week, Eban drew the essential
picture of actual Jewish life in Jerusalem and its
integral connection every level with the life of
the state as whole, which made illogical" as he
said, any u N. control plan for Jerusalem beyond
supervision of the Holy Places.
What struck observers most, however, about
Eban's opening remarks not the position
TAKEN which had been expressed by the Israel
Government BEFORE but the tone and the spirit
which infused them. 1t tone of carefully
considered objectivity and spirit of cooperative
ness on all matters which is in the nature of the
United Nations but so often absent from its pro-
ceedingS.
This tone and spirit has so far imbued all sub
sequent participation by Israel representatives in
committee debates. Israel statements always
carefully presented. They stick to the facts and
they are replete with references to the need for
harmony and good will Eban rarely, if ever,
speaks in discussion off the cuff He writes out
his arguments while the debate RACES and when
he raises his hand to speak, he is ready not only
with well thought-out statement but also with
a model of prose style.

Balance Budget Of
Jewish Agency

TEL AVN, (JTA) - The fl
nance committee of the Knesset
this week continued it's deliber-
atoms on the question of how to
arrange government aid for the
Jewish Agency in order that the
Agency might secure the credits
necessary for the balancing of it's
budget. 1t was indicated that
$3O,OOO,OOO is required by the
Agency to balance it's budget
within the next six months.
The parliamentary finance COM
mittee also continued its dis
cussions on the question of the
Dead Sea potash works. The
committee considered a govern
ment request for the approval
of loan of American capital to
enable the potash company to
resume its operations. The Herut
and the Mapam members of the
finance committee demanded that
the concession held by the COM
pany be cancelled. They strong
ly opposed any government aid
to the company.

ports on the needs and achieve
ments in Israel in the upbuilding
of the new democracy as a center
of resettlement and rehabilitation
for hundreds of thousands of
homeless Jews from Europe and
North Africa. Experts will de-
scribe the activities of the United
Palestine Appeal, the Joint Dis
tribution Committee and the
United Service for New Ameri-
cans, which derive their funds
from the United Jewish Appeal.
Following a discussion of the
budgetary requirements of its
constituent agencies, the delegates
to the conference will make i'm
portant decisions concerning the
quota and the scope of the 1850
campaign of the United Jewish
Appeal.
In addition to giving considera-
ton to the needs in Israel the
Atlantic City Conference will
also plan for continued aid to the
Jews remaining in Europe and to
hundreds of thousands in North
Africa. many of whom must be
helped to emigrate to escape pow
ertY. disease and persecution.
The continued development of
Israel as a vigorous democracy
and as the homeland for the op-
pressed Jews of the world de-
ponds in a great measure on the
responsibilities which the Jews of
the United States are prepared to
assume in terms of financial as
sistance for immigration, settle
ment and agricultural and econ
omic growth. During the past
decade American Jews, acting
through the unified fund raising
instrument of the United Jewish
Appeal, helped to lay the found
atoms for the establishment of
the Jewish State. They now face
the task of seeing the Jewish
state through its difficult period
of transition from war to peace,
SO that it may fulfill its primary
objective of giving a new home
and a new life to the hundreds
of thousands who are streaming
to it's shores.

Mr.. Ben Gurion was saying

Mr.. Ben Gurion was quoted as

all Jews to Israel" He appealed
to Jewish parents in the United
States to bring their children to
Israel and. according to the news
service. warned American Jewish
parents that even if they declin-
ed to help. we will bring the
youth to Israel but I hope this
will not be necessary"
