Speaking at a luncheon meet-
ing of the Adcraft Club here,
last Friday, Leonard N. Simons
described his experiences in
Israel with the United Jewish
Appeal Mission and told of the
efforts that are being exerted
to transform -that sadly-neglect-
ed country into a progressive
state..
In Israel the week of the sur-
prise attack on Egypt, Simons
did not get the impression of
"any tension nor mobilization."
He was impressed, however, by
the Israeli cabinet's exaspera-
tion with Arab countries. He
reported their feeling like "clay
pigeons," after at least 55 raids
by Arab "suicide squads," which
caused over 200 civilian casual-
ties among other Arab destruc-
tion this year. Cabinet members
believed that Arabs were wait-
ing to finish the Suez Canal
crisis, build up forces and then
make Israel their next objec-
tive, he said.
Despite the physical insecuri-
ty, immigration to Israel has
increased 60 per cent this year,
Simons found. Last month 8,500
Of the year's 51,000 immigrants
arrived in Israel.
Simons quoted a Ben-Gurion
speech, in which the statesman
asserted three aims of Israel:
"To establish permanent peace
between us and our neighbors;
to avoid war, if at all possible;
to defeat them if war has to
come." The prime minister de-
clared, "we can never hope to
have superiority in manpower
or armaments over the Arabs,
but we do have superiority in
the quality of our manpower .
Our .people know that Israel is
the last stand . .. if the worst
befalls . . . the Israeli youth
will give to it the only thing
they have — themselves."
Deeply moved by what he
learned in Israel, Simons de-

scribed the .country as a "haven
4for Jews throughout the world
who have no other place to - go.
Everyone to whom I spoke
pleaded for the opportunity to
help rehabilitate desperate peo-
ple who are outcasts from hos-
tile surrounding countries, par-
ticularly North Africa and be-
hind the Iron Curtain," he said.
Simons found that most of the
Israeli countryside is "nothing
but sand and rocks for miles,"
that Israel President Ben Zvi
declared a policy of unrestrict-
ed immigration for all wishing
to enter and build the land.
Simons observed how American
UJA contributions supported
"'humane" Israeli causes, as hos-
pitals, school s, factories and
machinery.
Citing a Talmudic passage,
Simons summed up his message
by affirming, "the day is short,
the labor is great. . . . It is not
for us to complete the work,
but neither are we free to desist
from it."

`Tehilla, Other Israeli Tales' Due on Nov. 7

On Nov. 7, Abelard-Schuman
issued "Tehilla and Other Israeli
Tales," the second in its Ram's
Horn series designed to bring
American readers the best of
modern Israeli literature and
other books of Jewish interest.
The eight stories in this col-
lection, part of the burgeoning
of the old-new culture of Israel,
present a delightful panorama
of its life. They are a follow - up
to the beginning made with the

publication of "Mori Sa'id" by
Hayim Hazaz.
The work of nine contem-
porary Israeli writers, including
Hazaz, is represented in this

treasury of tales.
An Iraqui Jew and his artistic
Russian wife, a kibbutz shep-
herd, a Bedouin horse breeder,
a covetous sheik and wonderful,
incredible 104-year-old Tehilla
herself are a few of the charac-
ters portrayed,
