If you are one of the trusted Ameri-
cans interested in Israel, the Israel Gov
ernment will take you to places in the
country not open even to ISraeliS. This
in order to give you an inside look into
what the basic problems of the country
are and what the government is actually
doing about them.
Today Israel has three basic problems
They are security, water development and
immigration. Other problems are prac-
tically non-eXiStent as compared with
these. Economic life in the country is pro
ceeding normally, and the American dol
lar today is no longer something special
in Israel 1t makes no difference any
longer to the storekeeper whether you
pay him in dollars or in Israeli pounds.
The dollar is now three Israeli pounds,
and even the taxi driver tells you that he
does not care whether you pay him in
pounds or in dollars, since there is no
black market today in Israel on foreign
currency.
There is an abundance of food i'm the
country and - what is more important -
there is no unemployment. Never have so
laborers as is the case today. One can
find Arab workers even in KibbutZim and
in Jewish orange groves. The building
boom in the country is growing, and in
Tel Aviv one can see even skyscrapers
going up in American style on Allenby
Street and Ben Yehuda Street Talk is
being heard of the need to import labor
ers from Italy and Cyprus. Scarcity is
felt not only in qualified workers, but
also in Iaborers who do dirty work" in
the building trades and on the farms.
People have money to spend and
they spend it freely so freely that the
government, fearing too much currency
in circulation, is conducting a serious
campaign to induce the population to put
more money in savings banks. This does
not mean that Israel has no poor and un-
derpaid people. Most underpaid are those
in government service. Sufficient to say
that a general in the Israeli army is still
being paid today less than 5000 month.
Teachers, judges, white collar workers IN
government offices keep on complaining
that they cannot make ends meet and this
is the truth. However, in general, one
does not hear much complaining today in
Israel; and, despite his policy of impos-
ing heavy taxes, IsraePs Finance Minister
Levi Eshkol is today perhaps the most
popular person in the country, next to
Premier Ben-Gurion.
You visit a well camOuflaged Israeli
military airfield - the entrance to which
is guarded for miles before you reach it
and you get the feeling that Israel is
we'll protected. You see air maneuvers,
in which the very latest types of military
planes participate, and you know that the
guardian of Israel does not slumber You
inspect the various types of planes, and
although you are no expert, you get
clear picture from the explanations given
to you. that Nasser will have to think

engage in war with Israel. American
missiles are still not there : it will take
several months before they will arrive -
but other instruments of air battle are
there, which have not as yet been an
nounced to the world. The world will
know about them in about three or four
months, but Israel has them already, and
has also the trained men for them.
You don't have to be told that what
you see on the airfield is only small part
of IsraePs air force, capable to strike the
enemy within minutes. You know that
most of the modern bombers and jets are
in underground hangers, well hidden from
the eye of any reconnaissance plane. You
also know that the military airfield which
you are now visiting is by far not the
only such field in Israel What you don't
know is how colossal the sum is which is
required to keep the Israeli air force in
good shape. we'll trained and on the alert.
You hear figures and you begin to under
stand Israeps security problem, not only
from a military viewpoint but also from
a financial one. You realize how heavy
burden the security problem is on the
budget of the country.
You have your lunch in the officers
mess at the airfield, and you see the hui
man material which is dedicating itself
to keep ISraePS skies safe from uneXpect-
ed air attacks, and Israels cities and vii
lagos safe from destruction. You leave
the airfield with a feeling that the least
American Jews can do is to help Israel
take care of immigrants, since the Israelis
themselves are compelled to spend so
much on security
Water is to Israel what blood is to
the human body. Without water Israel
cannot develop. Next to security, water
development is the most urgent problem
for Israel Without new sources of water,
no settlement of new immigrants is pos
sible Without water reaching the Negev,
the area cannot be cultivated. Israeps
electric power for the growing industries
depends on securing more water. This is
why Israel is determined now to develop
the Jordan River waters which flow into
Lake TiberiaS.
just as Israel now avoids publicity on
security matters and on its water devel-
opment plans, it also prefers to speak
little about the flow of immigrants that
the country continues to absorb But the
flow does not SubSide.
Immigrants come by planes in large
transports as well as by ships; however,
their arrival is kept under a curtain of
silence for special reasons. 1 have wit
messed their Decentralization and have also
seen how they are being transported by

in various parts of the country This is a

will have to be borne by American Jews
for number of years, through the Unit
ed Jewish Appeal.
A new lease on life is being given
by Israel to thousands of newcomers, and
the least American Jews can do is to pro
vide the funds for their settlement

The new regulations, issued
by Deputy Secretary of Defense
Roswell L. Gilpatric, include
the human reliability" pro-
visions for precautions against
incidents by emotionally upset
personnel who might have ac-
cess to the weapons.
Atomic weapons, because of
their strategic Importance, vul-
nerability to sabotage, public
safety considerations and po-
litical implications, require
greater protection than their
security classification alone
would warrant" the new direc-
tive says.
Guards and custodians of
atomic weapons will be armed
and will use force If necessary"
1t specifies.
The order says zone Of the
threats to atomic weapons is
covert action by persons with
approved access" Therefore,
the directive said, such access
will be limited to properly
cleared personnel on a need
for-access basis and the num-
Der Of persons having such ac-
cess will be kept to a minimum.
Access to complete nuclear
weapons will be permitted only
when two or more persons are
present who are capable OF de-
tecting any unusual procedure
by those who have been per-
mitted access.

AshIey's Ex-Wife
Upheld, 2-1, on
ChiId's Support

Increased support payments
to the former wife of Repre-
sentative Ashley, Democrat Of
Ohio, were upheld yesterday
by the Municipal Court of Ap-
peals.
Mrs. Margaret Mary Ashley
last June won an increase in
monthly payments, from $3.50
to 1915, after the birth of her
second child. During a court
trial the Congressman denied
being the child's father.
Domestic Relations Court
Judge Frank H. Myers ruled in
Mrs. Ashley's favor. saying
there was insufficient evidence
to rebut her on strong social
policy" that Mr.. Ashley, as the
husband, was the father.
In a two-to-one decision,
the Appeals court said it could
not say Judge Myers decision
was plainly wrong or without
evidence to support it,"
Judge Nathan Cayton, in a
dissenting opinion, said, There
was an array of bizarre and
highly suspicious circumstances
in the case. :" and that he
favored returning the case for
a new trial. Judge Cayton said
he believed There was clear
error in applying the presump-
tion OF legitimacy to Mrs. Ash
ley's second child"
The couple were divorced last
October. The Ashleys married
in 1856 and separated less than
a year later.
