Religious Repercussions In Israel's Elections JERUSALEM — Election day was quiet as nearly 1,000,000 Israelis went to the polls to elect the nation's third Parliament in which 120 deputies will sit. The only untoward incident in Jeru- salem came when the police ar- rested Rabbi Amram Blau, leader of the violently. anti-Israel Ne- turei Karta, ultra-Orthodox sect, for carrying on a noisy propa- ganda against voting outside the polling station in Mea Shearim, the section in v,rhich ultra-Ortho- dox Jews live. The first voter in Jerusalem Tuesday morning was Interior Minister Moshe Shapira, who- hurriedly cast his ballot and then left for a tour of the ,nation's polling places to check on the administration of the election. He was followed by Premier Moshe Sharett and President Itzhak Ben-Zvi as voters number two and three. In Sdeh Boker, Defense Min- COME . SEE .

TR 5-9700 ister David Ben-Gurion voted early and was followed by other leaders of his party at the settle- ment. Results of the election are not expected to be known with any certainty - until Friday because the polls closed at 11 p.m. Tues- day and counting will be rela- tively slow. It is estimated that under Israel's proportional rep- resentation system, a Knesset member will need 80,000 votes to win his seat. Fully 20 percent of Tuesday's voters who cast their first 'ballot were either youths who had come of age since the last national election or were recent immigrants. The day was a holiday for most of Israels workers, but newspap- ermen and those employed in health services and transporta- tion facilities had to work and turned out early to cast their bal- lots. Among other early morning voters were passengers on out- bound planes and ships who hur- ried to Lydda Airport or Haifa's harbor as soon as they voted. A demonstration of respect for Israel's democracy was given at Bnai Brak, an exclusively Ortho- dox settlement, where the Wish- nitzer Rebbe, clad in holiday at- tire, set out for the polling -place followed to his Chassidim. He refused to ride several hundred yards from his home to the poll- ing station, noting- that election day was a holiday. , When he arrived, a single po- liceman on duty had difficulty_ in restraining hundreds of Chas- sidim who crowded: around to watch the Wishnitzer Rebbe come to vote. After the Rebbe dropped his envelope in the ballot box, the chairman of the elections committee kissed his hand. Later, the Rebbe said he had instructed his Yeshiva students to arise early in the morning in order to make sure they _voted. The settlement was the scene of many processions as rabbis and their students walked in a body to cast their votes. The campaign featured, aside from three unscheduled bomb at- tacks, a "new look" in posters as Israel's top artists turned their talents to electioneering- on card- board and banner. Besides this, various parties demonstrated in- genuity by taking to the air with balloons and to small motor boats all loaded with election propa- ganda. Municipal elections held simul- taneously with the national elec- tions, in 19 cities and 63 towns and villages, attracted a large number of voters. More than 2,150 polling places were set up for the elections. All police were on duty, with most of them at polling places.

Several thousand -supporters of Mr. Rokach assembled near his home and expressed their determination to continue the election campaign "in spite of the bomb terror." Mr. Rokach himself, in a • statement from his bed, said: "Bombs could not stop me from continuing my activities for the state and for my city. I call on all political parties to regard the situation as most serious that has devel- oped. from the use of bombs in an attempt to force opinions on others. Let the bomb at my home become a warning note to all Israelis." Mayor Chaim Levanon of Tel Aviv, a. General Zionist, said at a mass meeting that the Tel Aviv municipality severely condemns such terrorist tactics. He called on the leaders of all political groups to take steps to end the use of such methods in this elec- tion campaign. GRAPE WINE WINS THE HIGHEST INTERNATIONAL WINE AWARD IN PARIS workers who had volunteered for election duty. The Israel Cabinet, at its last meeting before the national elec- tions, took a vigorous stand against the bombings which took place during the election corn- paign and which reached a high- point when a bomb was thrown early Saturday into the home of Israel Rokach, former Minister of Interior, who is the General Zionist candidate for Mayor of Tel Aviv. The apartment was damaged by the blast. Mr. Rokach was not hurt, but a physician who was called to examine him shortly after the bomb incident ordered him to re- main in bed and forbade his par- ticipation in five eleCtion meet- ings scheduled for the day. The incident was the principle feature in all election speeches delivered by leaders of the General Zionist Party, who declared that "the bomb will not frighten us." The bombing of Mr. Rokach's home was the third such incident in- volving General Zionist meetings and personalities. The Cabinet condemned the bombing incidents in general and the one directed against Mr. Rokach in particular, and issued a call to the entire population to expose the "evil-doers" and em- phasized that "only enemies of the state, aiming to undermine the foundations- of the state, can commit such crimes." The police announced a reward of 10,000 Israel pounds for infor- mation leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or per- sons responsible for the bombing of Rokach's residence. The police detained a number of persons in connection with the bombing, but all of them- were later released after they satisfied the authori- ties as to their whereabouts at the time of the bombing. Premier Moshe Sharett, ad- dressing an election meeting, in Petach Tiqvah, said that the gov- ernment is determined to do its utmost to discover the vandals who threw the bomb into Mr._ Rokach's home. He 'Said that the use of bombs is a violation of democracy. s A special dispute — whether to vote or not — raged in the Mea Shearim quarter where Israel's ultra-Orthodox Jews live.
