Soviet May Break Relations
With Israel, London Believes
LONDON, (JTA ) —Moscow's
violent attacks on the Israel
government and its leaders was
seen as a prelude to the Soviet
Union's breaking off of diplo-
matic relations with Israel, in a
prediction made by the diplo-
matic correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph who suggested that the
break might come after the I
trial of the nine Soviet doctors
arrested in a "terrorist" pia
against the lives of top Soviet
political and military leaders.
The correspondent said he be-
lieved that the Soviet authori-•
ties would use the trial of the
doctors as an excuse for the
break which, he added, will not
sit .well with world public opin-
ion.. He pointed out that the
same action was taken, in ef-
fect, by the Warsaw and Prague
governments after the Prague
trial.

article published in the New
Times, official publication of the
Soviet Ministry of Foreign Af-
fairs. The article also termed
Ambassador Abba Eban, Israel's
envoy to Washington and head
of the Israel delegation at the
Unite d Nations, a "British
agent." The Zionist movement,
the article said, is "an agency
of American. intelligence." -
- The Soviet organ • also attack-
ed the American Joint Distribu-
tion , Committee. It claimed that
although the JDC has not been
operating in - the Soviet Union
for a number of years, its
"agents" have been conducting
underground activities in the
coun try.
Asserting that "the Zionist
agents have been caught red-
handed," the organ of the So-
viet Foreign Office charged the
Zionist movement with "sup-
porting American aggression and
preparation by the imperialists
for a new world war." It said
that Zionist leaders are "mali-
ciously hostile" towards the So-
viet Union and declared that
"Israel's representatives at the
United Nations aid the Anglo-
American bloc in interfering
with Soviet proposals directed at
strengthening f r i e ndship be-
tween peoples."
In attacking the Zionist move-
ment and the leaders of the Is-
rael Government, the article
went so far as to claim that
they were helping promote anti-
Semitism and supporting a pol-
icy' of restoring Hitlerism.
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — T h e

capped newcomers to Israel.

the American Embassy in Israel,
conveyed the best wishes of the
American Government on behalf
of Ambassador Monnet Davies.

clared that "the establishment
of this hospital must give special
pride and gratification to the
people in the .United States who
contributed to its completion."

ceremonies were reproentatives

raeli Government.

Israel Charges Arabs Nith Armistice Defiance
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The Arab
states along Israel's borders, es-
pecially Jordan, have adopted a
hostile policy toward Israel, and
have disregarded armistice
agreements which they have
have signed, charged Lt. Col.
Haim Gaon, Israel's senior dele-
gate to the four Mixed Armistice
Commissions.
He said that the "tightening
anti-Israel line" both in the
Mixed Armistice Commissions
and along the border became
evident following a meeting in
Amman last November of the
Arab delegates to the UN-super-
vised bodies.
He added, as another indica-
tion of the Arab attitude, that
the Arabs have been demanding
the dismissal of Gen. William E.
Reilly, American chief of the UN
truce set-up, who Col. Gaon.
said, "wants peace."
In reviewing the worsening
situation along Jordan frontiers,
Col. Gaon pointed out that Arab
troops have been firing on Is-
raeli patrols, invading Israel
territory and have refused to
release Israeli soldiers acciden-
tally crossing the border, al-
though an agreement provides
for the "early exchange" of such
troops.
