Sharett Forming New Cabinet;
Knesset Backs Foreign Policy
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Acting
Premier Moshe Sharett contin-
ued negotiations for a wide
government coalition embracing
all parties except extreme left
and extreme right, and voiced
hope that he Would be able to.
report success quickly to Presi-
dent Itzhak Ben Zvi who had en-
trusted him with the task of
forming a new government.
.
The President called on Mr.
Sharett to form a new cabinet
following the retirement of
David Ben-Gurion as premier,
after consultations with the
leaders of the various parties.
He indicated his belief that .
Mr. Sharett, nominated by the
dominant Mapai Party, was
the most suitable man for the
task.
In his talks with the party
leaders, Mr. Ben Zvi indicated
he would like to see a cabinet
based on a wide coalition. The
Mapai spokesman said thty
were agreeable to a cabinet in-
cluding the same parties as in
the Ben-Gurion cabinet. The
General Zionists told the presi-
dent that they would have to
have clarification on some points
of government policy before en-
tering the new cabinet. The left-
wing Mapam Party declared it
preferred a government based
on a coalition of the labor par-
ties.
Parliament, by a vote of 58
to 22, gave its approval this
week to the foreign policy–
pursued by the government
after a warm debate. Subse-
quently, on Mr. Sharett's mo-
tion, the Knesset rejected a
demand by Dr. Moshe Sneh,
leader of a pro-Soviet faction,
and by the Communists, for
an immediate debate on the
rearmament of Germany on
the grounds that such rearm-
ament would mean rebirth of
Nazism.
Mr. Sharett, Foreign Minister
as well as Acting Premier, in
winding up the Knesset debate
on foreign affairs, told Parlia-
ment that Israel's policies to-
ward its borders, or toward the
question of re-admitting Arab
refugees, or to the development
of Jordan River waters, "must
primarily be built on Israel's
soveriegn right to decide its af-
fairs and aspirations as seen fit
for our needs."
Ben-Gurion to Have Place
In History, N.Y. Paper. Says
NEW YORK, (JTA) — David
Ben-Gurion's departure from
the post of Prime Minister of
Israel "does not signify any
drastic ,change in the nation's
policies, either domestic or for-
eign," the New York Herald
Tribune declared .in an-editorial.
The paper declared that Mr.
Ben-Gurion will "live in history
books . .. as a man whose life-
time of devotion to his people
and his ideals was climaxed by
his assumption of leadership at
a critical hour."

University Intercedes
For Arab Student
Officials at Wiyne University
have interceded in the case of
a Lebanese student, now study-
ing at the university, who last
week was branded a traitor in
an article appearing in the
Lebanese newspaper El Hayat.
The youth, 27-year-old Mau-
rice Zakhem, feared for the wel-
fare of his family living in
Tripoli, Lebanon, and appealed
to the university for aid.
Dr. Victor A. Rapport, dean
of the university's college of
liberal arts, stated that he has
brought the affair to the atten-
tion of Charles Malik, Lebanese
Ambassador to t he United
States.
The international complica-
tions arose when Zakhem,
speaking on his native land in a
sociology course, made state-
ments about Lebanon and its
relationship to Israel. A letter,
sent by an American-born coed
of Arabic extraction to a friend
in Lebanon, was misconstrued
as saying that Zakhem was
sympathetic towad Israel.
In reality, the youth had de-
clared that he believed,. neither
Lebanon, nor any other Arab
community, would recognize the
new state of Israel.
