THE JEWISH NEWS Friday, June 16, 1950 Israel Patrols Border with Planes; Seeks to Prevent Clashes with Arabs JERUSALEM — (JTA)—Isrdel military authorities were report- ed using aircraft to patrol the Israel-Jordan border where "in- cidents" in the last few days in- volving attempts by Arabs to in- filtrate Israel territory have as- summed the proportions of real battles. The Arab press here reports that in a clash between Israel and Transjordan forces near Kalkil- ya several Arabs were killed. A similar fight was reported from the border in the Latrun area where the Israel troops shelled an Arab village in retaliation for firing from the Arab lines. An- other battle is reported by the Arab newspapers as having taken place in the Hebron area where Arab infiltrees fired upon Israel soldiers. Four of the Arabs were reported killed. 100 Israelis Killed in Year TEL AVIV—(JTA)—"Israel au- thorities will maintain the ut- most vigilance for safeguarding Peace Talks Denied In Egyptian Senate LONDON (JTA)—Reports that Ismail Si d k y Pasha, former President of Egypt, who • is now vacationing Paris, has been negotiating with the Israelis for a peace treaty were denied in the Egyptian Senate by Senator Ibrahim Rashid Bey, son-in-law of Sidky Pasha. "There is no truth in the report," Rashid Bey is quoted in a report from Cairo. (Parliamentary sources in Is- rael said that the Israel Gov ernment intends to file a pro- test with the United Nations Security Council against Egypt's interference with vessels loaded with goods for Israel passing through the Suez Canal. The same sources said, however, that Israel does not plan to protest against Iraq's refusal to permit the flow of oil to Haifa). The Egyptian government suf- fered a severe reversal when the Pt(' Senate refused to drop consider- ation of charges of financial ir- regularities in the conduct of the Palestine war. Egypt's Foreign Minister, Mo- hamed Salah el Din Bey, told Parliament the government would continue to support the Arab League and "safeguard Arab interests." - 5 Continue • Efforts For Hospital Fund the nation's sovereignty and giv- ing the widest possible measure of protection to its citizens," a military spokesman declared in reply to questions concerning the recent rash of skirmishf:As and battles between infiltrating Arabs and Israel troopF; in Transjordan-Israel border/regi- ons. He revealed that more than 100 Israel citizens have been killed in the past year by infil- trees, and added that Transjor- dan, authorities seem to have lost control of the local popula- tions in the border regions. ot An interesting sidelight on the rebirth of Israel is found in a pamphlet printed by the "Everlasting Gospel Association" of Seoul, Korea, entitled "The Prophecy Concerning the Resto- ration of Jewish Nation." Written by Enoch Han, evi- dently of German origin, now living in Korea, the pamphlet, first published in 1947, takes ex- cerpts from the Bible, each giv- ing chapter and verse annota- tions., which are assumed to predict the restoration of the Jewish nation in 1948. In his foreword, author Han points out: "The final purpose of this book is to testify that the restoration is through the promise of God, not by the ef- fort of the flesh, and calls forth brethren to have a sincere na- tion-wide .prayer of repentance, which is the condition, prior to the fulfillment of the promise."

Grossman The executive requested Gross- man to resign from the Agency executive and turn over his post to an official representative of the Herut-Revisionist group. The announcement said that all efforts to settle the relations between the party and Gross- man failed because of his inde- pendent action. The Herut-Re- visionist executive called upon "the bloc of loyal Revisionists and Betarim" to submit to party discipline and withdraw their support from Grossman. In London, a resolution calling upon Grossman to retain his seat on the Agency executive was adopted by the executive and the central committee of the United Zionist - Revisionists of Britain. The two bodies unanimously adopted another resolution ex- pressing "shock" at the an- nouncement that Grossman had been expelled from the party of which he was one of the found- ers. The resolution emphasized that the Revisionist Party was not consulted by the Jerusalem group on this move. Korean Pamphlet Gives Bible Basis for Israel
