JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel's
greatest problem is strength-
ening its security, Premier
David Ben Gurion told a closed
plenary meeting of the Jewish
Agency executive in a 90-min-
ute review of current develop-
ments in the Middle East. He
underlined the government's
determination to take every
necessary and possible step to
fortify the army and bring its
equipment up to date.
He called immigration and
settlement the most urgent
tasks of the Jewish people.
"We need more Jews and we
need them quickly," he told the
Zionist leaders gathered from
all parts of the world. He asked
for an all-out increase in immi-
gration from all corners of the
world.
The Agency executive ap-
pointed a nine-man committee
of financial experts to draft
detailed plans for the "new
financial arm" which the last
Zionist Actions Committee
authorized to raise within the
Zionist movement as addition-
al funds for investment in
Israel. The committee was in-
structed to bring in its plans in
the shortest possible time.
The new financial instrument
will sell shares abroad in a new
holding company which would

Israeli development projects,
most of which are already pay-
ing dividends. One of the tasks
of the drafting committee is to
schedule the new organization's
fund-raising schedule in various
countries so as to avoid clash-
ing with and undermining the
United Jewish Appeal and the
Israel bond drive.

migration department, reported
that 5,200 immigrants had ar-

JERUSALEM (JTA) — More
than 2,000 ultra-Orthodox Jews
gathered in the Mea Shearim
quarter of Jerusalem to hear
Rabbi M. Epstein, head of the
Neturei Karta religious group,
recite the ban of excommunica-
tion on the Jerusalem swim-
ming pool, which opened here a
few days ago, and on the own-
ers of the facilities as well as
on the bathers. The Torah
draped in black was carried
while the "Cherem" ceremony
was recited by the rabbi.

Ben-Gurion, Goldmann Disputes Reported
Reduced to 'Minute' Differences
JERUSALEM (JTA) — T h e
Soviet Union is an important
factor in the Middle East and
the West must recognize this,
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, presi-
dent of the Jewish Agency, de-
clared, adding that Middle East
stabilization is not possible with-
out Russia. This fact, he pointed
out, is of utmost importance to
Israel.
Addressing a press confer-
ence, Dr. Goldmann revealed
that he had held three long dis-
cussions with Premier David
Ben-Gurion on this subject. He
said differences between their
views were now "minute."
The World Zionist Organiza-
tion president said the Jewish
Agency executive had discussed
in the past few days ways and
means of mobilizing the entire
Jewish people to support Israel
in the present regional crisis.
Dr. Goldmann, giving the
press conference a brief report
of the World Jewish Congress
executive session in Geneva last
week, underlined that for the
first time in a decade, repre-
sentatives from the Hungarian
Jewish community and observers
of the Polish Jewish community
had attended the WJC session.
Despite the presence of dele-
gations from behind the Iron
Curtain, he said, the WJC par-
ley had adopted unanimous reso-
lutions, reasserting the right of
every Jew to migrate to Israel,
and urging the Romanian Gov-
ernment to enable the reunion
of Jewish families spli.. between
Romania and Israel. He -ex-
pressed the hope that Polish

Shragai noted that there was
considerable immigration poten-
tial in the United States and
Britain and asserted that the
entire problem of Eastern
E u r o p e a n immigration was
mainly a budgetary matter. He
called for more funds for im-
migration.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, presi-
dent of the Agency, outlined
steps for the expansion of im-
migration from North Africa.
Neturei Excommunicate Swimming Pool Owners
one who is interest in this sport
desires to know where (in which
place) in the league his team
stands.
Most of the soccer-players are
clerks, workers or tradesmen,
and only during after-working
hours do they train or play be-
fore the public (audience). Of
course, soccer in Israel has not
yet attained a high interna-
tional level, but Israel is slowly
winning (buying) a name for
itself in this game.
Teams of the sports organiza-
tions Maccabi and Hapoel, as
well as national (selected)
teams, have played in various
countries in Asia and Europe
and even reached distant Amer-
ica. Soccer (selected) teams
from various countries visit
Israel frequently and p 1 a y
against our best selected teams.
Jewry would re-affiliate with the
World Jewish Congress and that
it would be followed by other
communities in Communist
countries and added the hope
that ultimately such a develop.
ment would lead to the opening
of the door to contact with So-
viet Jews.
(The second meeting between
Ben-Gurion and Dr. Goldmann,
held in Tel Aviv, was called at
t h e initiative of Progressive
Party leaders Dr. Pinchas Rosen
and Yitzhak Harrari who were
present at the private session
in Ben-Gurion's residence).
An Israel economic center
will be opened in Paris in June,

lor for the Israel Embassy, dis-
closed.
