"a best buy in the family fun is
the way Reuben Bennett, director

Backs Overall Plan
Mr.. Campbell emphasized that
he favors the overall highway

committee that his Senate COM
mittee testimony apparently had
been misunderstood in some
quarters as indicating that he
questioned legality of the fl

But if good and evil are both
to be found. the IsraeliS still
have right to be proud Of them
selves. After all. it isn't every
day that a nation is built out OF

To say that the result is less
than perfect or that the people
who performed it have lost some
of their sense of humor in the
process seems almost beside the
point. The immensely significant
fact is that Israel exists and gives
every indication that it will go

proposals for financing a huge
highway plan would obscure
the real size of the national
debt, Controller General Joseph
Campbell warned the House
Public Works Committee today,
This criticism by the General
Accounting Office chief, ap-
pointed only a few months ago
by President Eisenhower. caused
some committee members to
challenge his counter-suggestion
for a direct appropriation method
even If taxes and the debt cell
ing had to be raised.
Mr.. Campbell took issue with
testimony of Secretary Of the
Treasury Humphrey before the
same committee yesterday. The
Controller General hel dfirmly

eral weeks ago before a Senate
committee considering the pro-
posed $101 billion ten-year in

obligations up to $21 billion.
But we think that the pro-
posed method Of financing is
inadvisable because the result
would be that the borrowings
would not be included in the
public debt obligations Of the
United States" he continued.
"As a practical matter We
think the obligations would be
moral and equitable obligations
of the United States since they
would be issued by a corporation
entirely owned by the c srn-
ment . It seems only right
that such obligations should be
considered, classified and dis
closed as a part of the total
borrowings of the Government.
that is the public debt"
In recommending a direct ap-
preparation method for f1nanc-
ing the Governments part in
the program, MIR. Campbell said
he fully recognized that such a
procedure probably would re-
quire a change In the existing
debt limit.
Opposes Corporations
Another reaeson given by Mr..
Campbell for opposing the rec
commended financing method

tioning of Mr.. Campbell that
they believed the administra-
tion's financing plan would be
more practical.
Several of the committee
members said they were i'm
pressed by Secretary Hum
phrey's testimony yesterday that
a direct appropriation method
would be infiationary. Mr..
Campbell replied that, although
he did not profess to be an ex-
pert on infiationary trends. he
saw no reason why q direct
method would cause more infla-
ton than the suggested corpora

Yiddish or Hungarian instead.
A few years ago, this was a
serious matter, since the revival
Of Hebrew as the national Ian
guage has acted as one Of the
most powerful unifying forces
in the new state. Today, 1t
makes less difference, since
everybody speaks Hebrew any
way. no longer as a mental exer-
else, but as a mother tongue. =
Their refusal to serve in the
military forces is something else
again. In Israel, where every boy

Realized Ambition
Mr.. Klein was with us long

messages to friends and relations
back home Tell them to get
over here right away" he ad-
vised. He told US he had come

to a lifelong hope to settle finally

young man." he said sternly,
"Show these friends of mine
around. And be sure you show
them all the good things and
none of the evil"
Unfortunately. in Israel as
everywhere else, the good and
evil are likely to get a bit mixed
up at times. Mea Shearim, for
instance, is one of the most COL
orful spots in the country. From
touristic point of view, it would
be a pity if anything were to
happen to the quarter with its
population of bearded. frock-
coated scholars in round fur
hats, children with long, curling
earlocks and bewigged women.
The tour of its religious places
known locally as synagogue
crawling"-is one of the more
popular Friday evening pas
times.
And yet, there is no over
looking the fact that a great
majority of Israel look on
Mea Shearim as a disgrace to
the country and wish fervently
that it would disappear.
The reason is simple enough.
The zealots who live there have
refused from the beginning to
recognize the existence of the
State of Israel, or to have any
thing to do with it. They con-
slider it, in fact, a sacrilege
against the ancient teachings of
the Jewish faiths. Only the
Messiah. in his own good time,
can revive the State of Israel
and rebuild the Temple, they
say. According to this doctrine,
the national leaders are god
less men, leading the people
into sinful ways.
Only Few Hundred.
Although these hard-core yea
lots form only a small proper
ton of the quarter and number
probably no more than a few
hundred, they set a lively pat

secular state. Children are en-
couraged to throw stones at

why Israelis take so little inter-

We have seldom visited a

had less chance to appreciate

start moving at 1880 am. when
the factories, stores and govern

And you keep it up until around
midnight when your hosts f.

the end of a week of concen-
trated Israeli hospitality, ordi-
nary people are ready to totter
off to some quiet spot like Paris
or London or New York to rest
up.
AS 1t happens, you can see
quite q lot of Israel in the course
of a week. The whole country is
about half the size of Switzer-
land. the roads are good and
the main points of interest con-
veniently spaced. It's not the
physical problem of seeing Israel
that exhausts you so much as
the mental effort involved in ex-
pressing your boundless admira-
ton of everything you see.
Make no mistake about it. this
is required. It's like being shown
around a brand-new house

pointed out separately with the
excitement and pride of new
ownership. And where the rough

And It's True
The trouble is that, on the
whole, it's true. ISrael may not
be quite as astounding or beauti-
full or unique as the Israelis think
it is, but then no place could be.
The people may be just a shade
less heroic than they picture
themselves and still rate high on
the scale of human performance.
In fact, one suspects that if the
Israelis themselves were not so
unblushingly immodest about
their accomplishments in the last
seven years. more people would
be rushing forward to pat them
on the back.
The fact remains that nearly
every Israeli looks on himself as
a self-appointed press agent for
his country. The day after our
arrival we were taken on sight

One of the major points OF inter-
est was the Mea Shearim-the
Hundred Gates-a ghetto in the
oldest section of New Jerusalem
and the last stronghold Of 1sra-
els ancient and vanishing reli-
gious sect of zealots.
It was the Sabbath, so we
parked our car prudent dis
tance from the quarter, locked up
our cameras and doused our ci-
garets. The people who live in
Mea Shearim take the Sabbath
seriously and few people care to
be stoned on a pleasant Satur-
day morning. We were busily
soaking up the locol color when
we noticed a quantity dressed
