TEL AVIV—Abraham Dicken-
stein, president of AMPAL-
American Palestine Trading
Corporation, in an address be-
fore 1,500 persons, including
Prime Minister David Ben Guri-
on, Cabinet members and other
ranking Government officials,
proposed that the Israel govern-
ment should request a loan of
$400,000,000 from American Jew-
ry, to be repaid in 20 years. He
stressed that such a loan "will
definitely not harm charitable
fund-raising" in behalf of Israel.
Dickenstein asserted that an-
other $200,000,000 could be raised
through the sale of investment
stocks in existing and new in-
dustrial and development enter-
prices in Israel.
Dickenstein disclosed that
AMPAL now has a capital of
more than $16,000,000 and that
it has extended loans amounting
to $15,000,000 to the settlements,
to the National Funds, and to
the Jewish Agency.

Hanna's Hand

Martyr's Memorial Stands Poised
To Shield Israel from Arab Legion

By YOHANAN RAMATI
TEL •VIV—It is a first class
road running from the coastal
town of Natanya, with its dia-
mond polishing workshops, its
sea-side villas and its colonies
of little houses for new immi-
grants, towards the East. Past
Beth Lid, the town of tents, past
Kfar Yona's orange groves and
cultivated fields; past a hillock
that was a front-line position
during the war. And suddenly,
beautiful in its leisurely. Orien-
tal way, stands the town of Tul-
karm. _
Tulkarm is not in Israel. Tul-
karm stands on the first of the
Jordan hills that mark the end
of the coastal plain. It dom-
inates the plain, and the Arab
Legion has not forgotten to turn
it into a strongpoint. It is a
constant menace to the settle-
ments and to road arteries of
ISrael.
Something had to be cl&ie.
Arab marauders used to make
their way far beyond the fron-
tier, stealing cattle and occa-
sionally killing. It was decided
to establish a number of for-
tress settlements, in which
hardened young men could
guard the common interest while
developing their fields. The
first of these was Hannah's
Hand.
. Hannah Senesh was killed by
the Germans after parachuting
behind their lines during the
World War. She was a tough
and idealistic young woman, not
afraid- to risk her life.
The men of Hannah's Hand
have much to look up to. They
have to be ready for the great-
est of sacrifices. For if fighting
should break out here, they
would be the first line of de-
fense. They know it.
I spoke to Benjamin Berger,
born, near the town of Tokay.
"W, are all from Hungary," he
said. "We are all old Zionists."
He could not have been more
than 25. "In Hungary one can-
not be a Zionist now. Not to
be a Communist is unsafe. And
if one tells them one is a Com-
munist, they say: 'You should
create Communism in Hungary.'
But when it comes to getting
work, the Hungarians told us:
`If you Jews work, there will be
no work for us'." He sighs and
takes a look at Tulkarm.
Mordehai Lichter is 24 and
comes from Kecskemet. He is

a bachelor, and his mother is
still in Hungary. His father was
killed during the war and he
was placed in a Nazi -labor camp.
"When the war ended, I went
back to work as a tinsmith in
Kecskemet. But I wanted al-
ways to get out of Hungary and
come here. Now my mother has
sold the tinsmith shop, but she
cannot come and join us be-
cause she is 48, and they do not
officially let out anyone under
50. We made our way out il-
legally, but she is not up to
that."
We walk along the row of
wooden huts that is Hannah's
Hand today. One small but the
boys are particularly proud of
houses their shower baths. The
installations are modern, and
are being kept in meticulous
order. -
The huts are simple. A bed,
a plain unvarnished table and
chair, that is what a married
couple will start off with here.
The bachelors share rooms with
the same kind of furniture. We
go out and look towards the
hills that belong to the enemy. -
Mordechai Lichter becomes pen-
sive: "We have not much in the
way of natural defenses," he
says. "But we are making de-
fenses. They will not catch = us
napping. And, my God, we shall
hold them until, the Army
comes. They will not get past
us." And listening to him one
knows they won't.

gime now have that right re--

Government.

Israel Currency Jumps
After Rumor Circulates

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The
amount of currency circulating
in Israel as of Aug. 23 was 2,-
500,000 pounds more than dur-
ing the previous week, marking
the highest weekly rise for sev-
eral months.
The total amount of currency
in circulation reached nearly
64,500,000 pounds, owing princi-
pally to publication of the cloth-
ing ordinance and the resultant
panicky purchasing by consum-
ers of the about-td-be-rationed
item. Another reason for the
jump was the spread of an un-
founded rumor that bank ac-
counts would be frozen.
An Israel Finance Ministry
announcement said that the in-
crease in currency circulation
does not indicate that inflation
is in force nor has it any bear-
ing on the government's finan-
cial requirements.
