rael generation.
Actual details of the case are still
officially withheld from the public;
on the other side, Israel, being a
small country, nothing can be kept
secret for long time and the re-
ports of the case are having wider
and wider circulation.
THE BARE OUTLINE Of the
event, as far as it has been re-
leased for publication, Is as fol-
lows: On Oct. 90, when the Sinai
operation began, curfew was pro-
claimed in a number Of Arab VII
lagos along Israers borders. The
frontier police was ordered to inn
plement the curfew. On the same
night, in the Kfar KaSim area, a
large number of Arabs was re-
turning from outside the cur
few area to the village, In
side the area, apparently unaware
Of the curfew order. The border po-
lice shot and killed them.
Immediately, Prime Minister Ben
Gurion appointed an investigation
committee. The committee submit
ted its report to Ben Gurion Nov.
6, and the government issued a
brief and rather cryptic official an
nouncement about the case, includ-
ing the information that compensa-
ton is being paid to the bereaved
families.
ON DECEMBER IL, Ben Gurion
made a somewhat more detailed,
but still very limited, statement in
the Knesset, describing the incident
as a shocking tragedy which hap
pened in our midst" Ben Gurion
stated that"ln accordance with con-
clusions of the (Khoushy investi-
gation) committee, the commander
of the border patrol unit, and a
number of the men under his COM
mand, who carried out the illegal
order, have been committed for
trial."
Most of Ben Gurion's statement
was devoted to expressions OF
profound anxiety at the fact that
such an act was possible, an act
which strikes blow at the most
sacred foundations of human NOR
ality, drawn from IsraelS Torah.
The Prime Minister stressed that
"two sacred principles have been
flagrantly violated"
THESE ARE that every citizen Of
Israel, irrespective of race Or creed,
has equal status; and that the lives
of all men, citizens or strangers,
are equally sacred.
But while nobody but perhaps
the Communist members question
ed the sincerity of Ben Gurion's
profound shock, many more ques-
toned the wisdom of the manner
in which the government handled
the entire affair.
Criticism is widely heard on
three points: That it took the gov
ernment six weeks to make the
statement. Secondly, that even
when the statement was made, it
still avoided disclosure of actual
details of the case. And thirdly,
Ben Gurion did not announce the
public trial of those accused.
THOSE WHO discuss the case
privately feel that only such a
public debate can ensure Ben Gu
rion's wish that Israel should 'let
nothing like this ever happen
again."

Promptly putting them to good use, he
lined up job at $35 week for a three-a-
day bit at the Majestic Theater at Ninth
street and Pennsylvania avenue His act
led to numerous engagements at shore
resorts and to tour through the South.
At the Chicago opening of a Western
tour in 1911, he met a Maryland girl and
proposed. When she took a firm stand
against show business, the couple settled
in Washington, where he joined the police
force. During the next 10 years, he sup
plemented his earnings by doing, chalk
talks" for club affairs. He was approached
by the publisher of the old Washington
Times, whose offer to join that newspaper
in 1922 as editorial cartooniSt he accepted.
Soon he returned to his job as policeman
because he felt little security In newspaper
work. AS sideline, he did a weekly sketch
for The Washington Star Climbing up
through the police grades, he reached the
rank of inspector and had become assistant
superintendent when he retired in 1913.
After he left the force, The Washington
