understanding of the infiltration
problem is a grasp of the fact that
it could not exist without compiled
ty by the Jordan authorities. Dur
ing the past two years tens of
thousands of dollars worth of alu-
minum water piping, miles of cop
per wire, much new pumping
equipment, several hundred cows
and other farmyard animals have
been stolen and taken across the
border.
The loot eventually makes its
way to Damascus and Alexandria
where it is sold in the open mar
ket. This involves large-scale trans
actions and transport Qarge for
this part of the world, at least)
which would never take place with
out the permission of the police.
In fact, infiltration is closely
linked with political vicissitudes in
side the Arab states. There have
been periods of quiet, when the
Lebanese, Syrian and Transjordan
police were determined to keep the
peace, and even coope-ated with
Israel police in preventing border

spring, when the Arabs began
shooting over the armistice lines in
Jerusalem, killing several civilians
in the streets.
The Israel army fired back; the
Arabs in the Old City of Jerusalem
panicked and fled. The Jordan
government took fright at its own
temerity, demanded British aid,
and for a few months there was
comparative peace and quiet. Now
the whole thing has started over
again.
A round of murders has begun,
eliminating in the incident in
Yahud where infiltrators threw a
grenade into room where moth
er and two children were sleeping,
killing them. Tracks were discov-
cred leading to the Arab police
station across the border. The vii
layers of Kibya, from which the
criminals came, have been active
in such raids since 1886.
THE ONLY SOLUTION to the
Israel-A-ab border problems can
come from a complete change OF
attitude on the part of the Arab
governments. When they are deter

to make them cease, but they will
be in a position to do this only
when they are willing to make
peace with Israel and admit her
right to exist.

If the Western governments can
put pressure on the Arab rulers

Israel, their Intervention will be

Israel EnvoV
S peaks Here

A round of public appearances
was scheduled early this week by
Esther Herlitz, first political Sec
retary of the Israel embassy in
Washington, in Phoenix visit
jointly sponsored by the American
Zionist Council and National Con-
ference of Christians and Jews.
Miss Herlitz is on tour of the
Western states to supply factual
information on the current conflict
between Israel and the Arab ma
tionS.
She was scheduled to arrive Sun
day and address a church meeting
that evening. Monday was to in
clude a luncheon at the Phoenix
Press Club, a broadcast over KOY
and appearances before political
science classes at Phoenix College.
A talk before the Phoenix Brandeis
Zionist District was to wind up
her visit Monday evening.
Served i'm Army
Miss Herlitz, born in Germany,
went to Israel as a child. In 1912
she joined the British army and
served in Palestine and Egypt,
coming out as a lieutenant.
In 1947 she was appointed Sec
retary of the Division for Arab
Affairs of the Political Department
of the Jewish Agency for Palestine.
The following year she joined the
Israel Defense Army and was
second-in-command of the Wom-
ems Battalion in Jerusalem. Later
she was released from the army to
take a post with the ministry for
foreign affairs.
Miss Herlitz is one of the high
ranking women officials in the
Israeli foreign service.

-
CIT WAS MUCH worse couple
of years ago." the mayor told me,
as if to make light of their present
problems. "Then armed groups
were prowling around almost every
night. Several of our villagers were
killed outside their own homes;
they used to shoot or creep up
close and throw grenades.
"Once a Hungarian girl of 1s
came here to visit friends. On her
way back, infiltrators kidnapped
her and took her over the border.
There they assaulted her, then
killed her, and her body was found
by the railway tracks that divide
the territory from Jordan"
"In the end we couldn't stand 1t
any more. We got help and at
tackled the Arab villages we knew
the murderers were coming from.
Since then they've been quieter.
They only come across to steal, in
stead of numbering for pleasure S
sake like they used to"
