Friday, April 25, 1958—THE DETROIT JEWISH NEW S- 10 Glorious Emergence of Israel Depicted in Ben-Gurion's Knesset Anniversary Speech Direct. JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News JERUSALEM—The rebirth of Israel differed completely from the birth of any other new state in the past decade where the people were not cut off from their lands, Premier David Ben- Gurion declared Tuesday in a special address on the occasion of Israel's tenth anniversary of independence. The Premier spoke in a flag bedecked Parliament called into special session to mark the ob- servance of a decade of freedom and development. Chief among the visitors who listened to Ben-Gurion's words was Israel President Itzhak Ben-Zvi, whose presence in the - building was signified by the flying of presi- dential flag from the mast over the building. Other notables in the visitors' gallery were Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the World Zionist Organization; Chief Rabbis Isaac Nissim and Isaac Herzog and Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, veteran American Zionist leader. Ben-Gurion noted that while the uprooted and scattered Jew- ish people a "hopeless minor- ity" among the nations of the world, had survived, other na- tions who had similarly been uprooted had vanished. "Neither exile nor unparal- leled sufferings crushed the Jewish people," he said. "Their profound spiritual bonds were unbroken while all of Israel's neighbors in the Biblical period _ have disappeared their lan- guages forgotten, their cultures vanished, their religions no longer in existence." "Israel is the only people in the Middle East that was re- rooted after a lapse of cen- turies in the land of its fathers," he add. "This is unique in hu- man history and is the outcome of the tremendous spiritual forces latent among our people which were revealed in the eternal creative achievements contained in the Book of Books and in Israel's unflinching re- fusal to surrender throughout its long wanderings." "Today," the Premier contin- ued, "the establishment of a Jewish -village is an everyday event. Jews who plough, sow, build roads, work in factories and mines, sail the seas, pilot aircraft and do every other type' of work in town and country are everyday phenomena. Jew- ish soldiers armed with light and heavy weapons on land, sea and air have in the course of a decade become part of the land- scape." "Referring to the settlement of Jews in Argentine and the Soviet region of Birobidjan, the two great experiments in settle- ment of Jews on the soil before the establishment of Israel, the Premier said only few Jews re- mained in these developments because they were settled "on alien soil and lacked the devo- tion to the vision of Messianic . redemption and the spiritual bond with their ancient home- land." In reference to Soviet Pre- mier Nikita Khrushchev, Ben- Gurion said that a "great Soviet expert" had expressed the opin- ion that Birobidjan was a fail- ure because Jews preferred trade and avoided building and agriculture, since they did not like teamwork. But, he pointed out, "those (Jews) who came to Israel had also been divorced from labor on the soil for cen- turies but when they settled here they worked in every branch of the economy and en- gaged in occupations in which Jews had not worked before." Moreover, he went on, the Jewish people in Israel "live and work as a team, maintain economic undertakings on a co- operative basis to which there is no parallel in the world— and these enterprises, coopera- tive and collectives—have been established not by coercion and governmental injunction but in complete liberty and from free choice." Continuous Stream of Tourists Arrive for Celebrations TEL AVIV (JTA)—A virtu- a'-'_y continuous stream of prom- inent statesmen, public figures and scientists from all countries Seek to Send Group to Russia Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News JERUSALEM — Dr. Nahum Goldmann, world Jewish leader, will make a new attempt to find an acceptable formula for send- ing a World Jewish Congress delegation to the Soviet Union, he told a press conference here. Dr. Goldmann, WJC presi- dent, who plans to return to United States after Israel's In- dependence celebration, advised a re-reading of Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev's comments on the failure of the Jewish au- tonomous region set up by the USSR at Birobidjan. These re- marks, he asserted., are not nec- essarily negative, and do not clash with what the Zionists have been saying about Birobid- jan. He underlined that Khrush- chev's remarks during an inter- view with the Paris newspaper Le Figaro constituted the first public Soviet utterance that Jewish problem did exist in the USSR_ of the world pour into Israel in advance of Independence Day. Among the VIP's to to arrive was Vincent Auriol, ex-Presi- dent of France, accompanied by Mine. Auriol. They were lunch- eon guests of honor of Presi- dent Itzhak Ben-Zvi and will spend two weeks in Israel. Other guests included Cana- dian Minister of Posts William Hamilton, Henry F. Jensen, Mayor of Sydney, Australia, Dr. Selman Waksman, American Nobel Prize winner and discov- erer of streptomycin, who will receive an honorary doctorate from the Hebrew University, and Prof. F. Farren, head of the French atomic energy com- mission. Fifteen members of the West German Parliament also arrived. One-Sided MAC Asks Troop Ban; Ignored by Israel Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News JERUSALEM — The Israel- Jordan Mixed Armistice Com- mission, with Israel not parti- cipating and chairman Maj. George Flint abstaining, voted Wednesday to support a Jordan resolution that Israel remove within 12 hours the heavy mili- tary equipment and troops brought into Jerusalem for the Independence Day parade Thursday. Maj. Flint said he was ab- staining because both sides had violated the armistice agree- ment in the dispute. Maj. Flint, in announcing the commission action voted for only by Jordan, called on both countries to avoid "untoward incidents" that might arise out of the action of both sides in bringing prohibited military equipment into Jerusalem. It was learned early Thursday that Israel had ignored the MAC ruling and had proceeded with its parade as scheduled. A 10- gun salute on Mount Herzl officially opened the anniversary festivities. NYBR Cites Mayor Wagner on Israel's Tenth Anniversary The New York Board of Rab- bis presented the Israel Emblem to Mayor Robert F.

The State Department, it was learned, is taking an extremely serious view of the Israel gov- ernment's position on the parade and the United States is con- sidering public expression on the matter. Among the ideas being discussed at the State Department is a warning to American citizens to stay away from the parade in Jerusalem because of the danger of violent eruption.
