The arrival of the 73-year-old scientist from Geneva was kept a secret for security reasons. Only a small group of govern- ment officials was permitted at art air base near Tel Aviv to greet him as he landed. But word of his arrival spread rapidly and crowds lined Tel Aviv's central thoroughfares to cheer Dr. Weizmann on his way to a special session of the provisional state council. "This is a great and sacred moment for me," Dr. Weizmann told the assembled officials. He promised that the political ex- perience gathered in his long career would be "placed un- reservedly at the service of the State." "We are fighting for the ex- istence of our nation," he as- serted, "but the Jewish people are a peace-loving people" and are "all anxiously looking for- ward to the day when we can convert the sword into a plow- share. "We have no illusions," he concluded, "that our path at the beginning will be smooth and clear. But this is not the first time that we shall have to show our ability to overcome obsta- cles."

Meantime, the government of Israel told UN delegations at Paris, where the Assembly is in session, that it must reject the portion of the Bernadotte report recommending the as- signment of the Negev to the Arabs. VITAL TO SETTLEMENT Israel told the 58 states in a surrender of even a portion the UN that the Negev area is vital to Israel's long range re- settlement plans and that the Jewish State could not agree to of the desert lands. The loss of the Negev, Israel said in its memorandum "would cut .off about two-thirds' of Is- rael's territory, deprive it of the only land reserves available for development, cripple existing and potential prospects for the scientific utilization of natural resources and stunt Israel's progress and growth for genera- tions to come." FEAR IMMIGRATION T h e .Jewish memorandum pointed out that the Arabs had always argued that pressure of Jewish immigration would force the new State to covet more land. If the Negev is taken from the Jews, it contended, "Arab fears would be intensified and the prospects of pacific co- operation between Israel and its neighbors would be prejudiced."
