Subo+eurs Fail To Stem
Israel kibbu+z Expansion

couple of weeks earlier Nahal o.
had been shelled for hours.
WHEN THE parents arrived al
the gate of Nahal or, the smiles
of anticipation froze on their faces.
They heard the news: at 6 a. m. a
kibbutz member on guard duty
had gone out to the very frontier
to drive away group of infiltra-
tors who were trying to harvest
the crops Nahal or had planted
with effort and sweat. He was
dragged from his horse and after
a struggle, pulled across the bor-
der.
That was all anyone knew, and
the long wait began. It ended that
afternoon, when the broken body of
Roy Rothberg, 20, was brought
back across the border through
UN Intervention. This tragedy-the
journalistic word for it is incident"
occurred only 10 days after UN
Secretary General HammarSkjold
announced the conclusion of an
Israel-Egyptian cease-fire. That
same fateful weekend saw one
soldier killed and two wounded
along the GAIA Strip, when an ar
my vehicle went over a mine.
IN THE FIRST week after Ham
marSkjold announced cease-fire
agreements with Lebanon, Syria
and Jordan, thus including all of
Israeps neighbors, there were IL
incidents on IsraePs borders.
Crops were stolen, a house was
blown up, shots were fired from
the wall of the Old City in Jeru-
salem, the new railway line to
Beersheba was hit.
Even if the cease-fire agree
ments were scrupulously observed
by the Arabs, the truces would not
end the tension. The Israelis firm
ly believe that the causes of the
present tension in the Middle East
were not tourhed by the cease-fire
agreements. The threat of war
still hangs over ISraePs head.
Therefore, three days after the
announcement of the last of the
cease-fire agreements and the
UN secretary-generaPs departure
from the Middle East, volunteers
from Israel's cities went out to IS
border villages to- build fortifica-
tions.
THUS, TOO, the government has
imposed heavy new levieS on a
variety of consumer items, rang
ing from cooking gas to refrigera-
tors to telephones, and further
rises in income taxes are in the
works.
It is a measure of ISraePs for
titude, that as more incidents oc-
cur on the border, more border
settlements are established. In re-
cent weeks kibbutz was estab-
lished in the parched, barren will

Dutch Mayor Faces
Betrayal Charges

AMSTERDAM, (JTA)-TWo new
complaints have been filed against
Amsterdam Mayor DR.. Franz
Schokking, charged with having
betrayed to the Nazis the family
of Jacob Pine during the German
occupation. At that time, DR..
Schokking was mayor of the viii
lage of HaZerSwoude.
The complaints were lodged by
82-year-old Mrs. Adler, now a res
ident of Brazil, who was the moth
er of Pino's late wife. and by Dan
iel Slui, a non-Jew who hid the
Pine family from the Nazis until
DR.. Schokking allegedly sent the
Gestapo to arrest them. Slui was
also arrested for hiding the Pinos,
but survived.
Pine committed suicide in Schev-
eninger Prison after his wife and
daughter had been tortured by the
Nazis. They were later sent to Os-
wiecim and gassed.

Such villages help absorb the

and assist Israel in the vital bat
tie for agricultural self-sufficiency.
They do more. They help to plug
the holes in the border.
Military men know that a train
ed and determined saboteur has a
good chance of carrying out his
mission, though it may cost him
his life. But experience has taught
the Israelis that, once an area is
thickly dotted with villages, the
number of infiltration attacks drop
off sharply. Today, Israel is bus
lily sprinkling her borders with
new settlements.
