Mizrachi, Poale Mizrachi Iu
Ben-Gurion Israel Cabinet
JERUSALEM (JTA) — In a
jammed, hushed Parliamentary
c h a m b e r, Premier - designate
David Ben-Gurion offered to
meet with the rulers of Egypt
or any other Arab state, for
unconditional peace talks. At
the same time, _he told the coun-
try that the new government
which he heads will follow the
same foreign policy as its pre-
decessors, and offered the pres-
ence of Foreign Minister Moshe
Sharett in his Cabinet as proof.
The new Ben-Gurion govern-
ment received a 72-32 vote of
confidence at the conclusion of
the Knesset debate.
Mr. Ben-Gurion spoke for an
hour and five minutes, after
which he named the 16 members
of his new coalition Cabinet
which, by a last minute decision
of the Mizrachi and Poale Miz-
rachi, has been expanded to• in-
clude the religious bloc. The
Premier-designate, whose illness
had. delayed presentation of the
Cabinet for several weeks, read
his speech slowly, with frequent
interruptions for rest. He sat
during the reading, and at the
beginning of the speech the spec-
tators feared he would be un-
able to complete the talks.
,
While he spoke, crowds sur-
rounded the Knesset building.
They had come to catch a
glimpse of the ailing Premier-
designate and Premier Sharett
who had just returned from
his week-long dramatic appeal
to the Big Four fOreign minis-
ters at Paris and Geneva for
defensive arms and security
guarantees.
He made short shrift of Czech
and Soviet arguments that the
Czech-Egyptian arms deal was a
"commercial transaction" and
pointed out that the Czech gov-
ernment knew that it was selling
arms to a regime which was com-
mitted to the destruction of the
Jewish State. But, he noted
pointedly, the Czechs are not the
only ones to supply the Arabs
with arms. The British do the
same, despite the Tripartite
Declaration, and refuse to Sell
Israel the same weapons they sell
the Arabs. The United States,
too, he stressed, had supplied
Iraq with some weapons.
The new Israel Premier said
"the people of Israel, in the
land of Israel, will not be led
like lambs to slaughter."
Following his address, Mr. Ben
Gurion named the 16 members
of his Cabinet and the, posts
which they will hold: Mr. Ben-
Gurion, Premier and Defense;
Zalman Aranne, - Education and
Culture; Levi Eshkol, Finance;
Dr. Joseph Burg, Posts; Mor-
dechai Bentov, Development;
Israel Barzilai, Health; Yitzhak
Bar Yehuda, Interior; Moshe
Carmel, Communications; Kad-
dish Luz, Agriculture; Mrs.
Golda Myerson, Labor; Dr.
Peretz Naphtali, minister with-
out portfolio; Pinchas Saphir,
Trade and Industry; Dr. Pinchas
Rosen, Justice; Behar Shitreet,
Police; Moshe Shapira, Religion
and Social Welfare and Mr.
Sharett, Foreign Affairs.
At the conclusion of the debate
Mr. - Ben-Gurion declared that
Israel would meet aggressors
with force regardless of whether
they were armed with Soviet or
American weapons. He expressed
the condolences of his Cabinet to
the families of the five soldiers
who had been killed in the fight-
ing in the Nitzana area. He .also
expressed regrets over the death
of 50 Egyptian soldiers in the
battle and said they were the
victims of Egyptian dictators
who had sent them on a mission
of aggression.
Sharett Hopes His Mission
Has Not Been in Vain
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—The rapid-
ly developing crisis in the Middle
East following the Czech-Egyp-
tian arms deal demands per-
manent alertness and prepared-
ness, Premier Moshe Sharett de-
clared here upon alighting from
the plane which brought him
from Geneva.
He voiced the hope that his
mission had not been in vain
and said he had been greatly
encouraged by the keen interest
shown by newsmen of the entire
world press in Israel's problem,
and by the fact that the Israel
problem had become a focus of
world public opinion. He stressed
world Jewry's support of Israel,
something he had witnessed
while abroad, and - urged Israel
to be united and conduct itself
courageously and "we will find
that we are not alone in the
world."

Dr. Samuel Schulman,
Former Anti-Zionist,
Dies at the Age of 91
•
• The Rev. Dr. Samuel Schul-
man, rabbi emeritus of Temple
Emanu-El, New York, one-time
extreme opponent of Zionism,
died in his apartment in New
York, Nov. 2, at the age of 91,
after a long illness.
Dr. Schulman claimed that, be-
fore Israel Zangwell used it, he
had coined the term "The Melt-
ing Pot."
When Israel became a state,
he supported it, and in the days
of Louis Marshall he joined the
Jewish Agency as one of its-non-
Zionist member s. Thus, in a
sense, he had abandoned his ex-
treme anti-Zionism.
In 1917, Rabbi Schulman head-
ed the commission of scholars
who, in behalf of the Jewish
Publication Society of America,
translated the Bible into English.
Dr. Jonas S. Friedenwald,
Famous Ophthalmologist,
Dies in Baltimore at 58
Dr. Jonas S. Friedenwald,

timore, last Sunday, at the age
of 58.
He gained world fame as an
eye surgeon, author and lecturer,
and as a teacher. He had written
more than 140 published papers
in his specialized field.
His father, the late Prof. Harry
Friedenwald, who carried on the
family tradition for specialization
in ophthalmology, was one of the
first presidents of the Federation
of American Zionists, the prede-
cessor of the Zionist Organization
of America.
