Editor, The News:
On March 10, DR.. Hayim Green
berg, great Jewish poet and lead
er of Poale Zion, was buried in
New York City. (See page 81 He
willed that the funeral be very
simple - as simple as the course
of the life that he gave to his
people for Ga years.
From those who watched the low
ering of his casket into eternity,
he made one request = that the
song of loneliness as composed by
the Russian poet, Lermontov, be
sung by one singer, and an oak tree
be planted over his grave as wished
by Lermontov in the closing para
graph of the poem.
Because it's such a beautiful
desire of Greenberg's that he
wished to take with him into the
cold grave, and because Greenberg
was admired by hundreds of thous-
ands, l take the liberty to give you
translation of the song as best
know it now in English. am sure
many of your readers might ap-
preciate it.

DANGER SIGNALS: Israel faces
serious dangers should the an
nounced "new look" policy of the
state department on the Arab Israel
issue become pressure policy in
favor of pro-Arab elements in
Washington.
The first danger is a possible
suggestion" that Israel admit
Arab refugees now living in the
neighboring Arab countries. J..
Such suggestion could not possi-
bly, be accepted by Israel because
it would increase the Arab popu-
lation in the Jewish state and
would change the entire character
of the country. Israel would
then-for all practical purposes
become not a Jewish state but BIZ
national state, with a strong ire
dentist Arab population backed by
the neighboring Arab countries.
The second danger is the possible
tearing off of a piece of the Negev
from Israel, in order to create
common border between Egypt and
Jordan. Such scheme is being
talked about in the Egyptian press
and seems to be favored by Britain,
for strategic reasons. 1t would
give Britain the possibility of with
drawing it's armed forces from the
Suez, as requested by Egypt, and to
move them to Jordon, where they
would remain close to the Suez. >. :.
At present such transfer of Brit
ish forces from the Suez to Jordan
would require their passa age
through Israel territory in the
Negev.

Letters to the Editor

Earth is sleeping in it's deep blue
shine.
Why does anguish tear my heart
asunder?
Does regret or longing make it
pine?
Life to me has no more expecta-
tions;
Nothing of the past do l regret.
All l wish is peace and liberation;
l wish to sleep and so forget.
Not the sleep that gives the grave
cold life sobbing,
Would l wish to enter into-no!
But to feel my heart with life force
throbbing,
Feel it sweetly, heaving slow.
And wish voice low and cares
sing
Night and day would sing to me of
love,
And an oak tree evergreen its
blessing
Rustic to me from above.

not diminished among the members
of both Houses of Congress, despite
the "new look" policy of the state
department on Israel.
The decision of the Senate COM
mittee to allocate $4,000, for a
study of the Arab refugee situation,
does away with the above impress
sion and calls for great vigilance.
1t is obvious that the study
like any other study-may result in
recommendations. :. And with the
trend in Washington now growing
more and more pro-Arab, it is high
ly important that these recommen-
dations should not come as another
surprise to American Zionist lead
erS.
This is no time to be caught
mapping. What some members
of the Senate may consider "com-
promise" recommendations for both
Israel and the Arabs, may turn out
to be very detrimental for the
Jewish state. Especially if
they suggest the repatriation to
Israel of a portion of the Arab
refugees, in order to appease the
Arab rulers who are being wooed
by the state department.
1t must not be forgotten that the
$4,000 for the investigation of the
Arab refugee problem was allo-
Gated unanimously by the Senate
committee, and at time when
everyone in Washington spoke of
reducing government expenses.
This gives the key to the appease-
ment sentiments now penetrating
even Congress. =. The money could
have easily been saved, since a
study of the Arab refugees, avail
able to every member of the US.

| Two Senator's Accuse
Services Of Ignoring
Orders 10 End Waste
By the A.soeio.ed Press

Two ernbattled Senators today
accused the armed forces Of
ignoring congressional orders
to stop waste and thus adding
hundreds Of millions" to the
cost Of overseas military bases.
Senator Morse. Independent,
Of Oregon told a reporter a still
secret report on the bases will
be made public soon, disclosing
that the Air Force has been more
wasteful, project by project,
than the Army and the Navy"
And 1t will show, he said, that
the Army and Navy were waste
full. too. The committee has
invoked a freeze on $146 million
worth Of construction. pending
a review.
Senator Long, Democrat, of
Louisiana, who helped Senator
Morse write the report to the
Armed Services Committee, said
IN a separate interview the Air
Force has aimed "a counterat-
tack" at their accusations, in
stead Of trying to cut out the
waste they alleged.
To Question Officials.
Both Senators said they plan
sharp questioning of top Air
Force officials when the COM
mittee resumes it's investigation
OF the report. probably next
week,
Senators Morse and Long were
members of the committee when
they wrote the report last fall
after q tour of bases in Europe,
North Africa and the North Pole
