(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
PARIS — A program which
will include a formal luncheon
tendered by President DeGaulle
and a dinner at which Premier
Michel Debrew will be host was
outlined here Tuesday for
Prime Minister Ben-Gurion's
five-day visit to France.
• The Prime Minister will ar-
rive by plane from Israel Mon-
day.. He will be met by repre-
sentatives of the French gov-
ernment at the Only Airport.
It was considered likely that
he will make a statement at the
airport. The luncheon with De
Gaulle will be held at Matignon
Palace on Tuesday, and the din-
ner that same sevening.
It was also likely that the
Prime Minister will have a
a meeting with Maurice Couve
de Murville, French Foreign
Minister, and with Debre.
Three important luncheon
meetings will be given. One will
be by the Israel EMbassy here
for a score of French officials
and other leaders. Another will
be provided by the Association
France-Israel, which is expected
to bring together 150 leaders of
every political group in France
and from all walks of life. The
third will be a luncheon of the
Diplomatic Press Association,
at which Ben-Gurion will an-
swer questions of the French
press about Israel's policies, at-
titudes and objectives on the in-
ternational scene.
There will be a visit to
UNESCO headquarters where
Ben-Gurion will be greeted by
Acting Director General Rene
Mahu and a visit to the Tomb
of the Unknown Jewish Mar-
tyrs, just off the Paiis Jewish
quarter, which commemorates
the 6,000,000 Jewish victims of
Nazism.
The Zionist Federation of
France is seeking to organize
another reception at which all
major French Jewish organiza-
tions would be represented, for
ELGIN
a meeting of their leaders with
Ben-Gurion.
The 'Premier was certain to
meet privately during his Paris
visit with a number of French
personalities who he knows
personally and who have visited
Israel in recent years. These
•would presumably include
Pierre Gilbert, former Ambas-
sador to Israel, Socialist leader
Guy Mollet, former Premier
Mendes France, and others.
Various_ ceremonies are also
being arranged, including a visit
to the Arc de Triomphe, where
the Prime Minister will place a
wreath on the Tomb of the Un-
known Soldier.
(Rumors were rife on Thurs-
day that Ben-Gurion's life was
