Missile Order Came From JFK

They felt America should pursue Arab
favor, even at the expense of Israel. The
position papers that went on the desks OF
the Secretaries of State and Presidents
since 1913 reflected this conviction.
President Kennedy, as a Senator, had
clashed with the State Department on
Middle Eastern policy. On Nov. 2, 1860,
Mr. Kennedy charged that American diplo-
macy in the Arab-Israel situation reflected
''too much rhetoric and too little leader
ship" He told former Senator Herbert H.
Lehman that, if an arms race could not
be avoided, then at the very least, we
should not condone any imbalance be-
tween the powers, for imbalance also
leads to war"
Mr.. Kennedy approved plank of the
Los Angeles Democratic platform pledg-
ing efforts to preserve Arab-Israel peace
by trying to prevent an arms race while
guarding against the dangers of mill
tary imbalance resulting from Soviet arms
shipments"

WASHINGTON - State Department
career officers found President Kennedy's
decision to provide Israel with Hawk mis-
siles reminiscent of the 1913 recognition
of Israel by President Truman in defiance
of us. diplomats.
President Kennedy issued a direct or
der to Secretary of State Dean Rusk after
realizing that the Department had for
years evaded IsraePs pleas for balancing
arms as the Arabs became well equipped
with Soviet jet bombers and missiles.
One evasive pretext after another was
used by the State Department The De-
partment claimed that Israel was suffi-
GENTLY strong, that America was not Is
rael's traditional arms source, that an
arms race must be avoided and even that
Israel exaggerated its peril for fund-rais-
ing purposes
Career diplomats remained as Admin
istrations changed Many were never rec
onciled to Harry Truman's 1948 action.

A Time To Fulfill Pledges

are over-croWded and Israelis already are
making many personal sacrifices.
At this time the flow of immigrants
continues but it is imperiled by a great
need for additional funds.
United Jewish Appeal leaders have
appealed to Embarrassing groups through
out the nation to step up payments of
pledges made during the 1862 campaign.
At this time when we enter new
year we are called upon to fulfill all our
pledges and to begin with clean slate.
And the emergency of the day calls

Israel Newsletter:
BY JOSHUA H. JUSTMAN
(Chief JTA Correspondent in Israeli


JERUSALEM Prime Minister David
Ben -Gurion-so we learned the other day
is a man Who no doubt, conducts the
widest correspondence in the country In
his files there are over 25,0O0 letters
which he received since the establish
ment of the State. These do not include
the official correspondence. They are let
ters from ordinary citizens who turn to
the Prime Minister with their daily prob
lens, or furnish him with ideas for the
conduct of the affairs of the State.
Two officials-tWo young and devoted
ladies-conduct this special branch of the
Premier's office, and they have laid down
a rule which is never broken-each and
every letter is answered within a week.
Hence, each letter received is promptly
and carefully read. Obviously, only very
few of the letters reach the Premier's
desk but each is answered in the Prime
Minister'S name, and each request is Civ
en- thorough attention.
A large proportion of the letters come
from new immigrants who turn to the
Prime Minister with various problems
connected with their integration; in most
cases they include grievances and COM
plants against various governmental de-
partments. These, as a rule, are investi-
gated by seeking direct Qualification from
the departments involved The initial re-
ply-given within a week and usually con-
fined to acknowledging receipt of the let
ter-is then followed by a more detailed
one, informing the writer whether and
what steps have been taken to meet his
request or to remedy his grievance.
Among the letters brought to Ben
Gurion's personal attention we found one
from a new immigrant from Tripoli who
arrived with 46 members of his family,
and requested aid. Ben-Gurion sent him
personal letter of welcome, and gave in
structions that all be done to enable this
unusually large family to settle down
and have all needs met.

is brought before Ben-Gurion consists of
missives from intellectuals and men OF
letters, dealing with various spiritual top
les. These are always answered person
ally-and usually in long-hand- Mr.
Ben-Gurion himself.
Among the files one finds a rather
large number of letters which advise the
Prime Minister how to reach peace set
tlement with the Arabs, or how to ensure
their defeat in case of war, as we'll as on
the conduct of IsraePs foreign policy in
general. These are usually answered with
a brief and courteous thank-you note.
Picked out at random, here are some
of the problems with which Israeli citl-
zens have recently turned to their Prem
ier:
new immigrant from Persia pur-
chased in 1947 plot of land in an area
which, following the partition, is now Jor-
danian territory. He seeks compensation
for the loss incurred.
A new immigrant from an Oriental
country. the husband of two wives, 10
children and aged in-laWs requests that
he be given a "small camp" and provided
daily with 10 loaves of bread.
x complains that, about 10 years ago.
he had paid 10 pounds to matchmaker
who, in exchange, had promised to tnd
him bride, but never did; he wants MS
money back.
A widow who, following the interVen-
tion of the Prime Minister'S office, was
provided with a flat, now complains that
her neighbors are noisy.
From one of the files we learned about
a family that has been corresponding with
the Prime Minister for the past eight
years, writing him regularly about all It's
troubles and needs.
One Sephardi boy has written Ben
Gurion, asking for a taperecorder IN
stead, he was sent silver medallion ac-
companied by a letter. The boy wrote Ben
Gurion thanking him for the medallion
and informing him that, in the meantlme'
he had received a tape-recorder from
the Pope.

Editorial Comment
The secret is no more.

Thousands of immigrants have poured
into Israel and other lands as result of
the lifting of gates that previously sealed
in Jews.
When the 1862 Combined Jewish Ap-
peal was in progress the full story of this
immigration had to be kept secret. Gates
would have dropped if the story had been
made public.
Now the Israel countryside is being
overflowed with immigrants eager to be-
gin a new life. Temporary housing units

TODAY WE SAY, not only
Happy New Year but Happy
Birthday to the world.
According to Jewish tradi-
ton, the earth this new year
will be 5723 years old. Of
you think you are getting
old, this should cheer you
upO
The world is old enough to
know better, but as we look
about and see the nations in
volved in building bigger and
bigger means of destruction,
we can wonder if age really
bring wisdom.
However, it was not un-
foreseen in the beginning.
When God first proposed the
creation of the earth and
man, says the Agada, Peace
and Truth strenuously urged
against it but Mercy a IN d
Kindness asked God to create
the world.
Some of the angels also
were opposed to the creation
of man. They were not with
out envy of man created like
them in the Divine image and
possessed even of an advan-
tage over angels since man
was endowed with reproduc-
tive power which the angels
did not share.
But God decided, say the
rabbis, to go ahead and make
man, since creation had been
confined to heaven and earth
and man would offer some
thing new, a fusion of both
heaven and earth.

EACH OF THE LETTERS

EACH OF The LEIIEhS
of the alphabet pleaded that
creation might begin with it.
The letter Resh or R pointed
out that ReSh means begin
ming, so it was most appro-
pirate but God noted that it
is also found in the word,
rasha, meaning wicked, so it
was out. The letter Tsadik
pointed out that it had the
connotation of righteous and
was therefore fit, but God
noted that the word Zores
meaning troubles also begins
with that letter. Finally God
decided that creation should
begin with Beth, the second
letter of the alphabet, for it
is found in the word Baruch,
meaning blessed. So the To
rah begins with the letter
Beth, Bereshith, meaning IN
the beginning.

ADAM WAS CREATED
alone, to teach us that if one
destroyed one man, it is as
though a whole world were
destroyed.
But Adam was lonely, so
Eve was created, to give him
company.
According to the rabbis,
when she was fashioned, she
was a pretty young woman OF
20, so Adam didn't have to
wait for a date.
And God looked upon the
world and said: 1t is good.
If there are still troubles,
there is no reason to despair.
Remember the first 5723
years are the hardest.

and Senate sergeant at arms,
died yesterday in a Memphis
(Tenn.) hospital. He had been
in failing health for some
months. and last week suffered
a broken hip.
The 69-year-old Mississippi
Democrat was the only Senator
in United States history who
later became the Senate's SER

Born in Holly Springs, Miss,
Mr.. Doxey was graduated from
the University of Mississippi

farmer, his colleagues recalled
yesterday and many New Deal
agricultural bills bear his mark.
In September OF 1941 Mr..
Doxey was elected to the Senate
to fill a vacancy left by the
death of Senator Pat Harrison.
But in 1912 he lost a re-
election bid to Senator East

soon after.
Mr.. DoXey was never known
