Bible Researchers
Hear Dissenting Views
at Israel Conference

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
greatness of the Bible lies in
the fact that it speaks to every
Jew regardless of his viewpoint,
Premier David Ben-Gurion and
a scholar of the Bible, said at
the opening of the sixth con-
ference of the Israel Bible Re-
search Society.
The Premier sat quietly at-
tentive as Prof. Moshe Zvi Se-
gal, another Biblical scholar,
lashed out at Israel as a secular
nation whose "rejection of Ju-
daism is liable to bring about
moral rot which will result - in
the crumbling of our strength
from within."
Prof. Segal also lambasted the
sudden "demotion of the Bible
to the status of ancient secular
literature serving merely as a
source for historians and arch-
aeologists."

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Israel
Finance Minister Levi Eshkol
will leave for the United States
on Tuesday to ask the Ameri-
can Jewish communities to seek
an additional consolidation loan
for $50,000,000 for Israel.
In 1954 the communities ob-
tained a $75,000,000 loan for Is-
rael which they underwrote and
repaid from United Jewish Ap-
peal revenues. Subsequently,
they were able to obtain similar
loans and now there is about
$50,000,000 outstanding. Eshkol
will ask an increase to the $100,-
000,000 figure.
While in this country, the Fi-
nance Minister will also confer
with United States government
officials in Washington and
with Israel Bond Organization
leaders.

British Zionists Urge
ME Policy Clarification

BANK pith COMMONWEALTH

LONDON, (JTA)—A resolu-
tion demanding that the British
government "resolve the uncer-
tainty which presently shrouds
British Middle East policy by a
clear declaration of support of
Israel's integrity within her ex-
isting borders," was adopted at
the two-day annual conference
of the Zionist Federation of
Britain.
The resolution called for di-
rect peace negotiations between
Israel and the Arab states with-
out prior conditions. It wel-
comed the Israel policy of re-
uniting Arab families divided
when some members fled dur-
ing the war of 1948, and noted
that this had meant the admis-
sion of 30,000 Arabs to Israel.
