JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion beat
back four opposition attempts
in the Knesset to censure his
Government for its handling of
the Lavon affair, and emerged
from the debate with a solid
coalition vote for a resolution
which "took note" of the Prime
Minister's state of the nation
address.
Critical resolutions, offered
by the Herut Party; the Gen-
eral Zionists, the Communists
and the Agudat Israel, had to
be watered down when the
Speaker of the House refused
to submit to a vote any resolu-
tion referring directly to the
"security mishap" in 1954 -which
