B-G Sees Hope
for Arab Peace
.
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Hopes
for immigration of ' 1,500,000
Jews from the Soviet Union and
for the possibility of a peace
settlement with the Arabs dur-
ing Israel's second decade were
expressed by Prime .Minister
David Ben-Gurion.
He expressed these views in
a letter to Yisrael Galilee, a
member of Parliament from the
left-wing Achdut Avodah party.
The Prime Minister urged clos-
ing of ranks between workers
and pioneering elements of
Israel "in view of the fateful-
period which may prove more
decisive than 1948."
The Prime Minister warned
in the leter that Israel may be
faced with a "severe and dan-
gerous . military test," which
made it imperative that Israel
muster all of its material, tech-
nical, moral and spiritual re-
sources. He also wrote that the
immigration he expected from
Russia might prove to be the
most difficult burden which
could only be carried out with
the vast resources and coopera-
tion of Jews throughout the
world.
Differences of opinion be-
tween parties need not prevent
cooperation the Prime Minister
said. He added that he deplored
election smears which "were
shameful and damaging to the
workers' unity."

permanent housing units will be

housing for the upward spiral
in Israel's population, due to
natural increase as well as im-
migration, the five-year housing
program calls for a total of.
160,000 housing units, involving
an investment of 1,050,000,000
Israel • pounds by the Govern-
ment, utilizing Israel Bond capi-
tal, and by private interests.
Judaism Council
`Rigged' Report,
Charges Rabbi
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Rabbi
Irving Miller, chairman of the
American Zionist Council, ad-
dressing the dinner of the
Zionist Organization of America
at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel
Monday night, charged the Am-
erican Council for Judaism
with "rigging" its. news report
of a reply it received from
Parker T. Hart of the State De-
partment, to a • communication
from the president of the Am-
erican Council for Judaism,
Clarence L. Coleman, Jr. Rabbi
Miller said -"the report was
rigged in a manner best cal-
culated to serve that organiza-
tion's nefarious purposes."
Objecting to -repeated refer-
ences in recent UN debates to
the Jewish people and to their
ancient homeland, C olem an
asked the State Department to
reaffirm our government's op-
position to the "involuntary
association" of American citi-
zens with Israel. In his reply,
Hart wrote: "It is my consid-
ered belief that other govern-
ments are fully aware that the
United States Government does
not condone the involuntary
identification of its citizens with
a foreign state."
However, Hart further de-
clared: "I .believe there is also
a common awareness inside and
outside our country of the un-
divided loyalty which American
citizens, regardless of their
race, color or creed, possess
for their country and their
flag."
Rabbi _Miller said by deleting
this sentence from its press re-
lease, the American Council for
Judaism "distorted the intent
of the State Department letter."
This, he stressed, "is another
example of its fear psychosis
which leads the,American Coun-
.cil for Judaism. to attack the
loyalty of American Jews to
their country."
