The duplicate lead- ers are mostly those who, in 1947, refused to give whole- hearted support to the pro-Is- rael "Gromyko-line," which for a Short period reversed the Soviet Union's 30-year-old anti-Zionist policy. They have been less ac - tive since. The Communists seem to as- sume that if their party is out- lawed, these "shadow" leaders will have- more freedom of ac- tion than their present, publi- cized, central figures. 1 Greetings on the New Year CHINESE VILLAGE INN Native Style Family Dinners Special Noon.

TA.. 5-5680 Greetings on the New Year Wisper & Weisman Theaters It has become increasingly ev- ident that Communists here re- gard the outlawing of their ac- tivities as t h e one hopeful chance to regain their waning strength. The Communist Party which prior to the foundation of the State of Israel had 16 local branches in t h e country, in- creased its number to 69 by the end of last year. Similarly, the number of Communst votes rose from 15,000. in the general elec- tions of 1949 to 27,000 two years later—an increase mainly. due to the Arab and new immigrants' vote. This temporary success, how- ever, has been drastically re- versed sine e Czechoslovakia's and the Soviet Union's anti-Jew- ish purges last winter. Not only did sympathizers drift away, but even cardholding members re- signed, including a staff member of the party's daily newspaper "Kol Haam." To recover from this dwindling of strength, the Communist leaders now are trying to force the prohibition of their party, hoping that the population will sympathize with "outlawed un- derdogs," and be attracted by their "martyrdom." Thus, Com- munists have begun organizing unauthorized meetings, as they did on the arrival to Israel of United States Secretary of State John Foster Dulles. They are de- fying government censorship. They also continuelly interrupt debaters in the Knesset (parlia- ment), entirely disregarding the Speaker's warnings. In addition, they are conducting systematic subversive campaigns in all spheres of life, aimed at dis- turbing Israel's political and military security. A special committee within the party's leadership has been set up to gather intelligence infor mation, political and economic, presumably for transmission to the Cominform. The Commu- nists have also tried to collect material concerning military in- formation. Communists have directed a considerable amount of their energy towards winning over new immigrants from Eastern Eu-; lope's Communist states. They have been trying to instill fear among these newcomers, claim- ing that these immigrants are being watched, and their politi- cal activities are being reported back to their countries of origin, where some of them still hav e relations who might be endan- gered.
