Gen. Laskov Succeeds Moshe Dayan
JERUSALEM (JTA) • Maj.
Gen. Moshe Dayan has resigned ,
as Israel Army Chief of Staff 1,
and has been replaced by
Brig. Gem Chaim Laskov, it
was announced here at the
conclusion of the weekly Cabi-
net meeting.
Unlike his predecessors, Gen.
Da-an has asked to remain in
the army and his request has
been approved. There is no
official indication of Gen.
Dayan's future duties, but it
is understood that he will take
a long leave of absence to
prepare himself for a new and
important post. .
Because of Israel govern-
ment policy that only the Chief
of Staff shall be a Major Gen-
eral. on active status, Gen..
Dayan will revert to Brigadier
rank. Gen. Laskov will be pro-
moted to Major General. The
question of a reversion in
rank has never come up before
in the 10-year history of the
armed forces because each re-
signing Chief of Staff has left
the service.
The elevation of 111aj. Gen.
Laskov to the • post of Chief
of Staff of the Israel Defense
Army set in motion a chain of
changes in the entire Army
high command. '
Gen. Laskov was succeeded
as commander of the southern.
front by Col. Chaim Vivian
Herzog, who served for a time
as Israeli military attache in
Washington. Brig. Zvi Tsur,
the commander of the central
front; was promoted to Deputy
Chief of Staff while the cur-
rent deputy, Brig. Meir Ainit
will take command of the cen-
tral front.
Russian born, Gen. Laskov
came to this country as a
young child. He received his
baptism of fire as a youth in
high school during the Arab
riots . when he became asso-
ciated with the Haganah. That
association continued. through-
out his life except for a five-
year period when he served as
an officer with British forces
in Italy and Belgium during
World War II.
During the war of liberation
Gen. Laskov served with . dis-
tinction in a number of impor-
tant campaigns, including the
one which broke through from
Central Palestine to the Negev,
the assault on Latrun and the
Galilee fighting. Brig. Moshe
Dayan, who will remain on
active status with the army,
will take a long leave to re-
sume his studies at the Hebrew
University.

The New Year
of the Trees
Translation of Hebrew col-
umn on left. Published by
Brit Ivrit Olamit.
A few days ago I was strol-
ling in the streets of Jerusalem
with a friend of mine who came
on a visit to Israel.
"Why are all the children
wearing white clothes today?"
my friend asked me.
"Today is a great holiday for
the children," I answered him,
"Today is the fifteenth of
Shevat, the New Year of the
Trees. Abroad Jews have almost
forgotten this ancient holiday,
but here in Israel we have re-
newed it. Tu B'Shevat is one
of the most beautiful holidays
for the children."
Here, in the Land of Israel,
the trees begin to bloom in the
month of Shevat and therefore
(we) celebrate the "New Year
of the Trees" in the middle of
the month.
A beautiful custom connected
with Tu B'Shevat in Israel is the
planting of trees. On the day of
the holiday the children go out
of school together with their
teachers, to (a place) outside of
town, to • a place Where._there
ar .norti.eles.
irAis And -Aifonallapliiig *and
he plants the sapling in the
earth.
Perhaps in another few years,
when the child will have grown
and the tree will have grown,
the same children will find
shade and rest beneath the
trees which they themselves
planted on Tu B'Shevat.
