Ben Gurion's Return
Stirs Widespread
Israel Reaction

TEL AVN, (JTA) - David Ben
Gurion's dramatic return to office
in the Israel Government, after IA
months of semi-retirement, an
nounced in a broadcast last week
by Premier Moshe Sharett, stirred
the entire country and was the
chief topic of discussion every
where.
The 68-year- old former Premier
and Defense Minister is to assume
the Defense Ministry vacated by
Pinchas Lavon. Mr.. Lavon, a
member of the dominant Mapai
Party, repeatedly resigned after
protracted policy differences with
Mr.. Sharett. His resignation, first
rendered on February 2, was de-
layed until last week pending fur
Their policy discussions between
him and the premier.
Nj. Lavon declined to reveal
the nature of his differences with
Mr.. Sharett before he informs the
Parliamentary Foreign Affairs
and Security Committee of the
reasons for his resignation. He had
held the portfolio since Mr.. Ben
Gurion retired from the govern
ment in December, 1858.
The Jerusalem Post, in an ,ex-
elusive, circumstantial report, de-
scribed the feverish activities
which preceded the stunning an
nouncement that the veteran Is
raeli leader had agreed to emerge
from retirement in the Negev to
assume a key cabinet post.
According to this papers report,
Premier Sharett sent delegation
to Mr.. Gen Gurion composed of
two closely associated in the
Mapai Party, Labor Minister
Coda Myerson and Mordecai
Namir, secretary general of the
Histadrut, the General Labor
Federation of Israel. They gave
Mr.. Ben Gurion a full report of
the situation with respect to Mr..
Lavon and conveyed to him Mr..
Sharett's personal request that he
assume the Defense portfolio.
Mrs. Myerson left the Ben Cur
ion retreat at Sdeh Boxer in the
Negev and met Mr.. Sharett at
Kibbutz Netzer Sereni, where he
had participated in a memorial
meeting. She gave the Premier
Mr.. Ben Gurion's affirmative re-
Spouse and Mr.. Sharett thereupon
issued the statement which in
formed the nation of Mr.. Ben Cur
ions return.

PLAIN TALK.
BY ALFRED SEGAL
THE LADY WORRIES

The Los Angeles lady had writ
ten me that she had been thinking
on the matter of dYing-and what
she will come TO aftarward. ac-
cording TO the Jewish concept. Not
that she cares in the least to be
dead. She is past 20 and is having
a good time living in California.
There are days when il is prac-
ticallY like Paradise there. though.
Of course. there is the Los Angeles
smog at times: in the smog. she
says. somehow she thinks of death
and what's to become of us all
finally.
Yes, everything is all right for
her j. her children all grown up
and well established the
grandchildren still so young and
playful. They like to bounce on
her lap.
She said: ITO make il short: Is
there a heaven and. if so. what
are my chances of getting in
there? What's your idea about
that? You seem TO speak so ALL
knowing almost about everything
and maybe you can tell US where

since we are so well along in
years. from time TO time ask our
selves that. but we never do get
the answer. What's your idea and
what does our Bible say about it?"
Well, dear lady, all I really
know about it I derive from visit
ing with my friends who happen
to be laid out at Wells funeral
home. Wells is the place to which
practically every Jew of our town
finally goes. They all lie there
beside that great mantelpiece.
When I see my friends there I
begin 70 think more or less deeply
about their fate. Thus I come to
certain conclusions satisfactory to
myself. but. mind you. I can't be
sure of thing.
Only recently I was with very
nice guy at Wells. He was having
his funeral and / was there to help
send him on his way, as one of his
pallbearers. The rabbi had spoken
the appropriate prayers to send
him wherever the rabbi thought
he was going. We pallbearers took
hold of him then.
There he goes. I was thinking.
but where? was asking the same
question that worries the Los
Angeles lady. you see. We pushed
him into the hearse: we entered
the limousine TO accompany him
to his grave. We didn't say much
