Silver's Israel Trip
Stirs Up Holocaust
Of Verbal Exchanges
NEW YORK, (AJP)—Criticism
leveled at Israel General Zion-
ists by an editorial in the Jeru-
salem Post claimed the motor-
cade which :7-
greeted Dr.
Abba Hillel Sil-
ver, American 's
Zionist lead er,
was an election
maneuver
"which Would
not impress a
country hard -c"
pressed for
transport." Dr. Silver
Silver was also attacked for
leaving the United States "at the
very time when Prime Minister
Ben-Gurion will be in the Unit-
ed States for the inauguration
of the bond drive."
The Post, only English daily
in Israel, which maintains a
center of the road political out-
look, further charged Silver with
presenting "the strange spec-
tacle of an American Zionist
personality coming to Israel bent
on aims of his own at the mo-
ment when Israel in a very vital
issue is turning to America."
Prior to Silver's arrival, Ha-
dor, the Mapai paper, mocked
Dr. Silver, and the General Zion-
ists answered that the editorial
broadsides reached "a new low
in unrestrained investiveness."
