, the supreme sacrifice to guaran-
tee the safety of the Jewish
State, SpeCial services were
held at the site of _all battles.

two-minute period of silence.

Mayor Abba Hushi dedicated a
statue to the city's war dead.
Half a million Israelis lined
the main streets of Tel Aviv
to cheer a five-mile-long mili-
tary parade.
The parade, marking Israel's
ninth Independence Day was the
largest ever held. The specta-
tors, likewise; were the most
numerous in the short history
of the state.
President Ben-Zvi, Premier
Ben-Gurion and Army Chief of
Staff Maj. Gen. Moshe Dayan
stood on the reviewing stand to
take the salute of the marching
units. Gen. Dayan was easily
the hero of the day and spec-
tators, shouted themselves
hoarse with cheers of "Moshe,
Moshe" whenever they caught
sight of . him.
Although every unit of the
Israeli forces was cheered
mightily as it strode past, par-
ticularly the women's coM-
panies, the crowd went wild
as a special section of tanks,
armored cars and artillery
captured from the Egyptians
in the Sinai battles rolled into
view. The "booty column" was
led off by St, 'net-made tanks
of all classes, Russian troop
carriers and other vehicles.
• Most of the captured artillery
was Czech or British-manu-
factured. Among the captured
armor were eight AmeriCan
Sherman tanks.
Israeli armor also _included
medium Shermans as well as
the French artillery and
tanks. Scores of tanks and ar-
mored vehicles spearheaded
the parade through Tel Aviv.
They were followed by an in-
fantry column in which cadet
officers were the first contin-
gent.

`Israel Indestructible,. 9th Year.
Should Show Aiabs,' Salmon Says

A firm declaration of faith in
the permanency of Israel key,
noted an address by Col. Katriel
P. Salmon, military attache of
the Israel embassy in Washing-
ton and main speaker at the
Israel Independence Day cele-
bration, held here Sunday in
the Mumford High School audi-
torium..
That Israel's ninth birthday
finally will convey to the. Arabs
the indestructibility of the Jew-
ish State, was the hope- ex
pressed by Salm4an, a fifth gen-
eration Israeli and veteran- of
the War of Independence.
The--Israeli colonel inspired
optimism _ for - future Arab-
Israel cooperation by quoting --
from'a letter to an American-
Jewish leader written in 1919
by Feisal, acknowledged lead-
er of Arab nationalism.,
grandfather of the present
king of Iraq and brother of
the grandfather of, King Hus-
sein of Jordan.
In the missive, Feisal said,
"The Arabs and Jews are cou-
sins in race, struggling with
similar problems." He ex-
pressed deepest sympathy with
the Zionist movement, calling
Zionist conferences of the time
"proper" and wished the Jews
"a most hearty welcome home."
As is the Arab, "the Jewish
movement is national and not
imperialistic," .the leader wrote.
The Arabs' . present contra-
dictory ideology "is sponsored
by foreign imperialism," Sal-
mon declared.
Salmon based his speech on
three Hebrew words related to
the Independence Day number,
nine. The wor ds, "brother"
"they will" and "they came"
not only. fit into the numerical
scheme but are the three most
prominent features in Israel's
nine years of existence, Salmon
asserted.
"With a spirit of brother-
hood and solidarity by the
remnants of a people with a.
will to prevail articulated in
a .honiecoming," Israel has
persisted to exist, he said.
The Independence Day cele-
bration; sponsored by the. city's
. Jewish Community and Zionist
Councils, opened wjth the pres-
entation of colors by Julius
Rosenwald Post of the Ameri-
can, Legion and Harbonim. and
Labor Zionist Youth.
The American and Israeli na-
tional ardhems were. sung by
Leah Koven. Rabbi Benjamin
H. Gorrelick delivered the in-
vocation and conducted the au-
dien•e in responsivle reading of
a prayer for peace.
Morris Lieberman, chairman
of the Zionist Council of De-
troit, ,•resented introductory re-
marks. Greetings were extended
