Ben-Gurion Seeking to Hush Up

that no official body in Israel
had discussed the matter and
that he could only reply with
a personal opinion. This opinion
was that the western bank of
the Jordan River should be
demilitarized and that Israel
should get international secur-
ity guarantees for any such
new arrangements.
Replying to Alan's challenge,
Ben-Gurion reiterated that his
views on Jordan's status were
a personal opinion and not
that of the Israel Cabinet. The
Prime Minister added that Dag
Hammarskjold, UN Secretary
General, had promised to visit
Israel early in 1959 to discuss
implementation of Article 8 of
the armistice pact. Ben-Gurion
said that the Secretary Gen-
eral "made it a condition that
the discussion will take place
in Sde Boker," the Prime
Minister's vacation home in the
Negev.
The Prime Minister empha-
sized in his Knesset statement
that it would be "very harm-
ful" to discuss publicly what
Israel would do in the • event
of a violation of the Jordanian
status quo because "there is no
need to tell a hostile world
what we are or are not going
to do in a hypothetical case,
especially on a question in-
volving peace or its opposite."
He added that he had be-
come "firmly convinced of the
grave harm" of opinions on
the issue when expressed by
men "whom certain circles in
Israel or abroad might believe
express the opinion of the
cabinet."

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion re-
jected in the Knesset Wednes-
day as harmful an opposition
demand for a full debate on
the future of Jordan declaring
that President Nasser of the
United Arab Republic "knows
—and that is all he needs to
knowthat we are opposed to
the entry of foreign troops in
Jordan."
The Prime Minister was sus-
tained in his stand when the
Knesset voted to refer the
issue to the Knesset Foreign
and Security Affairs Com-
mittee.
Ben-Gurion said it was better
that Jordan shOuld continue
to exist as it is, and again
appealed to people holding
strong opinions on the matter
to abstain from public discus-
sion on it. The issue was
raised by Yigal Alon, leader
of the Achdut Avodah Party,
who cited a statement by the
Prime Minister given in an
interview with the Sunday
Times of London.
In that statement, the Prime
Minister had declared that the
preservation of the status quo
in Jordan was preferable for
Israel and that Israel would,
assuming continuation of the
status quo, press for implemen-
tation of Article 8 of the Israel-
Jordan Armistice Agreement.
This article requires that Jor-
dan meet with Israel to imple-
ment unresolved issues be-
tween the two countries, in-
cluding access to the Israel
garrison on the Mount Scopus
enclave in Old Jerusalem.
Rabbi ISRAEL MILLER, of
When he was asked by the Kingsbridge Heights Jewish
Times' correspondent what Is- Center, the Bronx, has been
rael would do if there was a elected president of the Yes-
change in Jordan's status, the hiva University Rabbinic
Prime Minister had replied Alumni.

An intensive cash drive to
meet an emergency jeopardiz-
ing the rescue, relief and re-
settlement programs affecting
the lives of more than 500.000
Jewish men, women and chil-
dren in Israel and 24 other
countries has been launched in
Detroit, announced Max M.
Fisher, 1958 Allied Jewish
Campaign c h a i r m a n, before
leaving for Israel with the 1958
United Jewish Appeal Mission.
While in Israel, Fisher will con-
fer with leaders of the Israel
government and the • Jewish
Agency.
Fisher said the local cash
drive comes in response to an
emergency call by the nation-

wide United Jewish Appeal,
urging all affiliated community
campaigns to conduct an imme-
diate effort for payment of out-
standing pledges to raise criti-
cally needed cash for vital hu-
manitarian programs carried
out by UJA-supported agencies
abroad.
The local emergency effort,
Fisher said, aims at providing
the maximum amount of cash
possible toward the UJA's na-
tional cash collection goal of
$40,000,000 by Dec. 13, when
the annual national conference
of the UJA opens in New York
City. The first $20,000,000 of
the total is sought by the end
of October.
