Israel Faces New Elections
AS Coalition Cabinet Falls

parties began to grid themselves
for general election.
The current crisis found its i'm
mediate cause in the question of
religious education in the camps.
The government delivered a state
ment of policy to the Knesset on
religious education which, in an
ensuing 10-hour debate, met with
bitter denunciation from the Re-
ligious Bloc.
1t charged Premier David Ben
Gurion's Mapai Party with viola
tion of their pact on this subject
and evoked from the Laborites the
charge that the Religious Bloc was
seeking a monopoly on education.
No More Coalition
While DIR. Chain Weizmann,
president of Israel, Immediately
scheduled a series of conferences
with party leaders in an effort to
reach agreement on new govern
ment, little hope was held out that
his efforts would be successful.
Ben Gurion himself made it
clear that he would not head an
other coalition based on the pres
ent party lineup in the Knesset
and indicated clearly that he fav-
ored general elections.
