Israel Acquires 2
•
British Destroyers
CARDIFF,. Wales (JTA)—The
•Israel Navy received powerful
reinforcements when two British
destroyers, • the Zealous and. the
Zodiac, -were* - transferred- under
the . blazing sun of this Welsh
seaport. The destroyers were re-
named Elath- and Yaffo—names
selected by Minister of Defense
David Ben-Gurion.
The short forMal transfer cere-
mony _took place here in 80 degree
temperature. A small British na-
val detachment was up on the
foredeck . of H. M. S. Zealous.
Shortly afterwards, t h e com-
manders of the South Wales and
Plymouth reserve fleets, accom-
panied- by Captain J. Fitzroy • and
L. Forbes of the Admiralty, were
piped aboard. They were joined
by three officers of the Israel
Navy—Lt. Comdr. Y. Shapiro, Lt.
Comdr. A. Barak and Lt. Y. Mar-
galit.
Watched from the jetty by the
commander-in-chief of the Israel
Navy, Capt. S. Tana, the director
general of the Israel Defense
Ministry F. Peres and the mem-
bers of his staff, and Israel Em-
bassy officials, headed by charge
d'affaires Gershon Abner — two
petty officers aboard the Zealous
lowered the British ensign to the
accompaniment of more bosun's
pipes, while shore and jetty par-
ties stood at attention.
The British party then took
leave of the ship to another blast
of the pipes, the last senior offi-
cer carrying with him the ship's
nameplate. The three Israel offi-
cers left on board then took up
positions forward, and at a signal
from the pipes, Lt. Comdr. Sha-
piro raised the blue and white
ensigh of the Israel Navy.
.
British Trained Israelis
Capt. Tana then went aboard,
where he was greeted by Lt.
Comdr. Shapiro with the words:
"Israel naval ship at your com-
mand, sir." Capt. Tana then un-
veiled the ship's new nameplate
—Elath—and. invited the British
and Israel groups on the jetty to
join him. For nearly an hour
afterwards the British officers
conducted the 'Israelis on a tour
of the Elath, which was built in
1944 and has never seen active
service. After refitting, the Elath
and the Yaffo, which lies at the
nearby Penarth dockyard, will be
taken to their home ports by
Israel sailors. At present, their
weapons and • other equipment
are - in protective cocoons.
Earlier, the Israelis had enter-
tained the British naval officers
at a luncheon here, where toasts
were proposed to the Queen, by
Mr. Abner, and the President of
Israel, by Capt. Fitzroy.
Socialists Urge

Israel-Arab Amity 1
LONDON, (JTA)—A resolu-
tion urging the negotiation of a
peace settlement between Israel
and the Arab states was adopted
here, at the concluding session of
the International Socialist Con-
gress. The resolution said that
such a settlement "would open
the way to fruitful cooperation
to the benefit of all." It • added
that "the new State of Israel
represents a new ferment and a
progressive, democratic approach
to the problems of the impor-
tant Middle East region."
An American delegate, speak-
ing on the resolution, said it
was "unfair" to blame Israel
for the plight of the Arab
refugees. This is a United Na-
tions responsibility, he insisted,
and Israel cannot be e2pected
to admit elements whose aim is
to destroy the state.
Reuven Barkatt, Israel dele-
gate to the Congress, sharply
denounced a speech by Dr.
Edith Summerskill, chairman of
the British Labor Party. Her
speech also brought forth a
statement by Morgan Phillips,
chairman of the Congress, de-
signed to remedy the impres-
sion left by her remarks.
Labor MP's Pro-Arab Stand
Referring to her visit to Jor-
dan and Israel this year, Dr.
Summerskill opened a discussion
on Asia and Africa by speaking
of the bitterness she found
among Arabs because of the
plight of the Arab refugees from
Israel. There were two steps
which should be taken imme-
diately, she advised the Israel
government. The first was that
Arabs who left property in
Israel should either be allowed
to return or be compensated.
The second, according to Dr.
Summerskill, was that the de-
marcation lines, which were too
hastily drawn, should . be re-
vised immediately.
Dr. Summerskill - said that
Israel's representatives spoke of
peace; but the way to prepare
for peace was to_ settle legiti-
mate grievances. "I hold no
brief for the reactionary Arab
governments,"„ th6 Labor Party
head_ asserted, "but I say to
Israel, 'You're giving those re-
actionary governments the very
weapons they need against their
own people'."
.
Mr. Barkatt, replying to her
addresS, said that his delega-
tion had been more than sur-
prised to hear the Arab case
put in so able, one-sided and
biased a way by the chairman
of the British Labor Party
and said he was pleased to
know that Dr. Summerskill
had spoken in a purely per-
sonal capacity. He asked if
she had forgotten who de-
clared war, who was deter-
mined to exterminate Israel,
who had really created the
refugee problem and who had
opposed the United Nations
resolutions. He also asked
whether Dr. Summerskill's
speech • was an example of the
British tradition of fairness
and impartiality.
.
Mr. Phillips said that describ-
ing the present misery of Arab
conditions could not affect the
attitude of the Labor Party to-
ward Israel and the Mapai,
which was one of greatest ad-
miration and respect for the ad-
vances made by Israel under the
leadership of the Mapai. The
Laborites, he said, wished Ma 7
pai every success' in the forth-
coming national elections. He
then proposed, and the Con-
gress agreed without dissent, to
send a message of good wishes
and solidarity in the coming
electoral struggle to the Mapai.
