Sam the mule takes time out from his spin around the
weather deck of the Zim Israel American Line's new MS Negba,
largest dry cargo liner of Israel's merchant fleet, to pose for
the cameraman with Ernest Gordon Wilks, son of a California
rancher, John Wilks, shortly before the Negba sailed from
New Orleans to Haifa on the return leg of her maiden voyage.
Young Wilks, his dad and kid brother, Slim, sailed along with
Sam, two Tennessee horses and a shetland pony, which will be
donated to Dagania and another kibbutz in the Negev for
breeding purposes. The elder Wilks, a devout Christian, plans
to remain in Israel indefinitely. He has been there five times
in the last four years, and his enthusiasm for the Jewish state
knows no bounds. Ernest holds a BS degree from California
Polytech and an MA from Stanford University. He will return
in the fall to do a stint in the U.S. Army.

tougher policy with regard to
permitting Polish Jews to re-
turn to Poland, it is reported
here by the Jewish Observer
in a special supplement survey-
ing the life of the Jews in
countries belonging to the
Soviet bloc.
Special difficulties are being
imposed on Jews who seek
repatriation to Poland, evi-
dently because many of the
Jews hope ultimately to emi-
grate from Poland to Israel.
Russian officials are demand-
ing from Jews seeking repatria-
tion various documents which
are difficult, if not impossible,
to obtain. Few or no docu-
ments of the kind are de-
manded from members of non-
Jewish minority groups seek-
ing repatriation.
Jewish would-be repatriates
are being asked why they did
not leave the Soviet Union
when they were permitted to
do so in 1946. There are indi-
cations that the Polish Con-
sulate in Moscow is being sub-
jected to Soviet government
pressure, being urged to ab-
stain from intervening on be-
half of the Jewish applicants
for repatriation.
As a result of the tougher
Soviet policy, repatriation of
Jews to Poland has slowed
down to a trickle of not more
than about 300 a month, ac-
cording to the survey, while
the flow of non-Jewish repat-
riates has remained at a much
higher, constant figure.

ber of Jewish employes in
Soviet factories and the prac-
tice of a "numerous clauses"

The Manchester Guardian's
Warsaw correspondent declared
in a dispatch that, in his
opinion, the Polish govern-
ment's expulsion last week of
Israeli diplomat Jacob Barmor
"is believed to reflect the
changing atmosphere in the
country, conditioned by direc-

According to the correspon-
dent, it is feared by diplomats
in Warsaw that the new policy

under Soviet pressure, may
affect the recently improved
relations between Poland and
Israel. The Warsaw-Jerusalem
rapprochement had resulted in
greater trade between the two
countries, freedom for Polish
Jews to emigate to Israel and
limited tourist traffic from
Poland to Israel.
