Report Uranium Discovered in the Negev
By PIIINEAS J. BIRON
T IS MORE than a rumor that deposits of uranium
have been discovered in the Negev. This is said

It is generally accepted that the Israeli constitution
will establish strict separation between the church
and the State, in the same way as the U.S. constitution
does . . . Officials of the Israeli government have
stated in unequivocal terms that "there is no inten-
tion of imposing any sort of Rabbinical rule on the
Jewish population as a whole" . . . Koestler, however,

dominates Jewish life and that all sections of the
