Knesset Debates Russia's
Motives in Breaking Ties;
Free World Voices Protests
JERUSALEM—Heated debate began in Israel's parlia-
ment here on Tuesday, following a statement from Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion, in which he rejected Soviet al-
legations that the bombing of the Soviet legation in Israel
was carried out in - connivance with Israel police, and accused
Moscow of conducting a defamatory campaign against Israel.
During the debate a non- %--
confidence vote was demand- Eisenhower requests the Presi-
ed by Mapam leader. B e n dent:
Ahron and Dr Moshe Sneh and
Menahem Beigin.
Mapai leader Zalman Aranne
demanded the removal of those
in security forces who did not
foresee and did not understand
the implications of the Soviet
move, and at the same time,
defended the government's pol-
icy. He stated that Russia's sev-
erance of diplomatic relations
was the result of a long-
planned, well-considered Soviet
policy.
In Tel Aviv, the Soviet lega-
tion asked the Foreign Ministry
for 35 exit visas for its staff.
Only 11 passports, however, were
given to Israel officials. The
exact date of the Russians' de-
parture is not known.
The severing of relations is
not expected to have an effect
off Israel's economy, since
trade with Moscow and her
satellite countries has fallen
away to practically zero:
In New York, 49 distinguished
Americans, fearing the spread
of Soviet anti- Semitism to the
Middle East and Germany, Made
public a four-point program of
action submitted to President
Eisenhower with t h e request
that it be initiated by the
United States and United Na-
tions to prevent disaster.
Copies of the communication
were sent to UN Secretary Gen-
eral Trygve Lie and U.S. dele-
gate to the UN, Henry Cabot
Lodge, Jr.

ment to "open the gates so that
their Jewish victims may find
liberty and justice elsewhere"

Jews to the State of Israel, was
unanimously adopted at a mass
protest rally sponsored jointly
by 31 national Jewish 'organiza-
tions at Manhattan C e n t e r.
over 3,000,000 members are rep-
resented.
First mass demonstration of
its kind since major groups
banded to fight anti-Jewish
terror in Nazi Germany, the
meeting charged the Soviet
Union and its satellites "with
pursuing a Roney of defama-
tion of the Jewish people and
of Israel to provide a scape-
goat for internal disaffection;
and of using anti-Semitism as
a political instrument in their
cold war against the demo-
cratic world."
Speakers at the rally included
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New
York, who addressed the meet-
ing by special telephone hook-
up from Albany; Fr. George B.
Ford, of the Corpus Christi

chairman of the American Zion-
ist Council, who presided.
Secretary of Labor Martin P.
Durkin, two senators and three
college presidents were among
the 40 prominent American
Catholics who signed a state-
ment denouncing t h e Soviet
anti-Jewish c13, m p a i g n and
urged world-wide protests. The
statement was printed in Com-
monweal, leading Catholic ma-
gazine.
A request to President Eisen-
hower to designate Tuesday as
"Protest Against Soviet Anti-
Semitism Day" was made in
Washington by C o n g r es sman
Isidore Dollinger, of New York.
In Jewish circles, Mizrachi,
Labor Zionist and General Zion-
ist gropps are planning to hold
rallies, while the Jewish Agency
is planning an international
Jewish conference for March 11
to consider implications of the
anti-Semitic propaganda cam-
paign in countries behind the
Iron Curtain for the 2,500,000
Jews trapped there.
Rabbi Irving Miller, president
of the Zionist Organization of
America, at a national confer-
ence of the ZOA Commission
on Israel and the Middle East,
called for the Soviet Union to
permit an international com-
mission to enter the country and
study the lives of Russia's Jews
to reassure the world of Soviet
purposes.

KIN applies to all of us.
Words, like human beings,
are related. Kinship is a
fellow-feeling that should
underlie our thoughts of
other folk.
HUMANITY means both
human kind and human
kindness. Kindhess should
be as widespread as our
kind—mankind.
RESPECT is rooted in self-
respect. When a man has
a basic assurance of his
own worth, he does not
have to feel "superior," he
has no need of looking
down on others so that he
may look up at himself. A
man who has self-respect
respects others.
HUMILITY is bred of true
self-respect, for it enables
one to 'look at the whole
responsive world with nei-
ther superiority not in-
feriority — but with the
warm equality of neighbor
and friend.
CONSIDERATION, re-
gard for 'others, • and es-
teem, follow in this train.
UNDERSTANDID7G of
oneself increases one's a n-
derstanding of othe:ss. This
may bring down the self.
estimate of the unthink-
ing; it will bring nearer
the sense of the equal
worth of all human spirits.
DEMOCRACY rests upon
belief in the worth of
man. This means the
worth of man. This means
the worth of all men. The
champions of democracy
must therefore be armed
not merely with pride but
with humility; with a sense
of Tespottibility, of broth-
erhood and human equal-
ity
BROTHERHOOD should
be not merely a word but
an attitude.

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Rep.
Sidney R. Yates of Illinois said
that the Navy's refusal to pro-
mote Captain Hyman George
Rickover; designer of the na-
tion's first atomic submarine,
is "one of the most shocking
examples of waste and proflig-
acy" committed by the armed
forces.
Rep. Yates called upon the
Senate Armed Services Com-
mittee to withhold confirmation
of naval promotions until it
could determine whether Capt.
Rickover's forced retirement
would jeopardize the comple-
tion of the first U. S. atomic
submarine. Last year a naval
selection board passed over
Capt. Rickover's name for the
second time on a list of cap-
tains eligible for promotion. Be-
cause of" the board's decision,
Capt. Rickover will be forced to
retire after 30 years of service.
