Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News TEL AVIV—A Haganah dec- oration giving official recogni- tion to the pre-State Jewish de- fense force was the center of a heated dispute Tuesday. It in- volved not only leaders of the one-time Herut underground or- ganization but also leaders of the Mapai party who had been active in the formation and di- rection of the Haganah. Members of right-wing Herut, political successor to the under- derground Ir- gun army, were the first to protest the award of state decorations to only one un- derground or- ganization. S u bsequently, prominent Ha- ganah leaders, like_ Gen. Jo- Sharett hanan Ratner, forMer Prime Minister Moshe Sharett and others also protested the pro- cedure of awarding the dec- oration. The most widely publicized correspondence was that be- tween Sharett and Shimon Per- ess, general director of the Is- rael Defense Ministry, 'which was directly responsible for dis- tribution of the decoration. Sharett, who was one of the founders of Haganah and re- sponsible for its activities for a time, was not invited to attend the major decoration award ceremony at which Prime Min- ister David Ben-Gurion made awards to a group of Haganah leaders. It was reported that a few days later Sharett received the application form for a decora- tion and replied with a protest against the "lack of knowledge of Haganah history" in the award idea and with an ironic thanks that "at last you have remembered me." Sharett refused to accept the decoration despite an assertion by Ben-Gurion that he regretted the "mistake" of the Defense Ministry in not inviting Sharett to the ceremony. Oved Ben-Ami; former mayor of Natanya and regional commander and Haga- nah founder, also did not re- ceive the decoration. 4 Page Brochures 3,000 just $198 (includes everything) expertly printed.

Cohen Retires from High Post in UN ,t 4 AND LOAN ASSOCIATION ADOLPH DEUTSCH Treasurer JERUSALEM—A spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "great sur- prise" Wednesday over the Polish Foreign Ministry's ex- pulsion of Jacob Barmor, First secretary of the Israel Legation in Warsaw. The Polish announcement accused Barmor of "trying systematically to recruit Polish citizens for activities contrary to the interests of the Polish nation." Barmor had just com- pleted a four-year tour of duty. The Israel spokesman said that Barmor had taken official leave of Polish officials "in the best possible atmosphere," shortly before the expulsion announcement and that top Polish officials had attended a farewell party for him. Israel sources said there was no basis for the charges and that they had no idea what motivated the action. They noted that Israel-Polish rela- tions had been developing "in the best spirit," including trade relations. They said that recently relations had reached the point of visits by groups of Polish tourists to Israel. 5-THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Sharett, Herut Party Leaders Irate at Exclusion from Haganah Award Assistant Secretary EDWARD D.
