JERUSALEM—Premier David Ben-Gurion said Tuesday that his new
cabinet would "strive for intensification of production" through Pinhas Lubiani-
ker, agriculture Minister, and Yaacov Geri, industry minister.
Mr. Ben-Gurion, speaking at a reception for a seven-member delegation of
the South African Jewish press now visiting Israel, stressed. that his new cabinet
does not "represent a deviation in policy."
Premier Ben-Gurion also lauded the South Africans who fought in Israel's armed
forces and urged the delegation to convey "Israel's tribute" to South African Jewry. He
also appealed to Jews in tie British Dominion to send their "youths and skilled and expert
workers to Israel," adding that they are "more important than money." --The delegation
.made a flying visit to Eilat, Israel's southernmost outpost, on Monday.
Premier Ben-Gurion on Tuesday sent a congratulatory cable to Soviet Premier Josef
Stalin on the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the Qctober revolution. The message
said
On the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the great October revolution, pray ac-
cept on behalf of the state of Israel and on my own behalf our best wishes to you per-
sonally and to the Soviet government and all its peoples. Our people, building its historic
homeland, remembers well the part played by the Soviet Union in defeating the Nazi '
enemy as well as its contribution towards the establishment of the state of Israel. We
send to the peoples of the USSR our sincere wishes for economic and cultural prosperi-
ty, happiness and permanent peace."
Basic preparations are being made for negotiations with the U. S. Government for
securing American financial aid for Israel. it was reported Tuesday at a meeting of the
Israel cabinet. The meeting heard a report given by Mrs. Golda Myerson, labor minister,

Mrs. MyerSon reported that the conference was attended by representatives . of all
Zionist and Non-Zionist groups in the United States, except the American' Council for
Judaism and Communists. She said that arrangements are being made in the United
States for the sale of Israel bonds and emphasized that the conference decided.to expand
the activities of the United Jewish Appeal.

now happy and rested in Israel.
