Commemorate Nordau Anniv. Israel Dedicates Largest The attack was made in an TB Hospital at Be'er Yaacob article published in the New Times, official publication of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Af- fairs.

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.

Palatial Kaufman'Estate Is Presented to HUC 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.

Gaon. said, "wants peace." In reviewing the worsening situation along Jordan frontiers, Col.
