Terrible Penalty' Threatened
Israelis in Eichmann Warning
Israel Urged to Introduce
Television by UN Experts
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — A recommendation that Israel estab-
lish a television network, to operate on a non-commercial basis,
has been submitted to Israel's Cabinet by experts of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization who
surveyed the Israeli TV potential.
Theodore Kollek, director-general of the Prime Minister's of-
fice, told a news conference about the plans proposed by the
UNESCO team. The UNESCO report envisaged the broadcast of
23 hours of television a week here at first. One-third of the pro-
grams would be produced in this country, while the remainder
would be brought, presumably on videotape, from abroad. The
annual cost of the broadcast service is envisaged at about 3,000,000
Israeli pounds ($1,680,000). The expenditures would be covered
by license fees and by a sales tax on TV sets which, it is estimated,
would-cost about 1,000 pounds ($560).
The TV network, according to the plan, could be established
here in about two years after approval by the Cabinet. However,
Kollek said: "It would be no easy decision for the Cabinet, since -
introducing TV here would cost millions."
-JERUSALEM — A leaflet stenciled in German and couched in viciously
worded language warning Jews of a "terrible penalty" awaiting them if former
Gestapo Colonel Adolf Eichmann was found guilty was found in evening pick-
ups of the Jerusalem Postoffice Monday 'night.
- The leaflet concluded with "Heil Eichmann--Faithful to Germany."
Postal authorities could not say whether the leaflet came by mail.
Eichmann is awaiting judgment after a. four month trial last summer on
charges of having Master-minded the slaughter of six million European Jews.
The Eichmann verdict is due Dec. 15.

U Thant: Key Figure at United Nations
in Peace Efforts "Between Arabs, Israel
Nuclear Tests Protested by
Israelis at Soviet Embassy
BY SAUL CARSON
TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Strong police forces, including mounted
police, cordoned off the Soviet Embassy compound in suburban
Ramat - Gan when a large demonstration was staged outside the
police lines by- an organization 'calling itself the Movement Against
Nuclear Weapons and Tests.
The demonstrators carried signs calling on the USSR to
cancel plans for exploding a 50-megaton hydrogen bomb "because
of the hazard to all humanity." Members of the group tried to
enter the Russian Embassy to present a petition to Ambassador
Mikhail Bodrov, but were prevented from entering b y the police.
Police officers who inquired inside the Embassy whether the
petitioners would be received were told: "Today is Sunday, not
a working day; let them try tomorrow."
Pickets representing the organizers of the anti-Russia demon-
stration paraded also in an empty lot across the street from the
American Embassy carrying signs advising President Kennedy:
"Don't let Khrushchev drag you into the nuclear race."
Twenty-nine nuclear scientists from 10 countries have begun
a four-month course in tyie biological effects of radiation which
is being held in the building housing Israel's atomic reactor at
Nahal Sorek, south of here.
The course, which is the first of its kind to be held anywhere,
is sponsored by the United Nations Atomic Energy Agency and the
Israel Atomic V Energy Commission.
`The Soviet government was criticized severely for its weekend
test by Gideon Rafael, Israel's representative at the U.N. on
Wednesday.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. — The man designated for the highest post in the United
Nations Secretariat, U Thant of Burma, faces, in some respects, the _toughest .job as yet
.confronting any of the previous Secretaries-General here. For, on one front, U Thant per-
sonally, as well as his government and his Prime Minister U Nu, are committed. They
are committed to peace between the Arabs and Israel.
Both Trygve Lie and Dag Hammarskjold, U Nu's predecessors, worked for peace
in general, which includes the Middle East. • But, unlike the others, U Thant had spoken
up on the Middle East issue, not once but many times—and he had done so in the friend-
liest possible terms as far as Israel is concerned.
U Nu and. U Thant visited Israel in 1955. Later, Burma published a book giving
its evaluation of Israel. It was no secret that the book had been written by U Thant—
since he had been press director for his government and, in 1955, secretary for projects
in the office of Prime Minister U Nu.
Just what Burma thinks of the possibility of peace between the Arab states and
Israel has been spelled out many times by both U Nu and U Thant. What they want,
11 1446_ first of all, is Arab recognition of Israel. "As long as our Arab friends refuse to accept
the fact of Israel," said U Nu, "there can be no real progress toward a solution. But once
this fact is accepted, we feel that the principal psychological barrier to a settlement will
be removed, and the way opened to: the ending of the present deadlock."
On every V occasion possible, since U Nu made that statement to his own Chamber
of Deputies in 1957, U Thant has been quoting that speech. What he wants, above all, is
(1) Arab recognition of Israel; and (2) peace negotiations between the Arab states and
Israel.
It must be recalled that, though very friendly to Israel, Burma has never alienated
the Arabs. Burma attended the - Bandung Conference in 1955—as well as the Belgrade
Conference of "neutral" nations last summer. At these conferences, as well as at many
others, U Thant represented his government.
Thus, if there is any single man who could talk peace to the Arabs without being
snubbed or rejected—U Thant is the man. He holds the peculiar position of a- diplomat
who had taken a stand as a friend of 'both Arabs and Israel.
U Thant has been his country's permanent representative here since 1957. He knew
Hammarskjold well—end he understood perfectly that Hammarskjold had banked his
career on the drive toward peace. But, in one sense, he is a step ahead of Hammarskjold.
There were times here, before the Congo embroilment, when Hammarskjold, too, had
hoped to use Arab-Israel peace as a step toward world peace. Hammarskjold had to
shunt the Middle East issues aside. U Thant is expected to give urgent attention to the
Middle East.
At 52, this small, smiling, quiet man, who has served his government actively for
ten years, is a highly skilled diplomat.
There is no doubt that the Middle East and its problems — foremost among them
Arab-Israeli, hosilities—rank highest among his regional priorities. That is where he faces
that toughest challenge of all.
U Thant could talk to Nasser as evenHammarskjold could not — because he is
trusted. At the same time, he has the highest confidence of the Israelis.

Demand Cessation of Nuclear Testing
JERUSALEM — Proposals calling for immediate cessation
of nuclear weapons testing were voiced Tuesday in the Knesset
and transmitted to a committee for appropriate action.
Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister, who replied 'to
the proponents on behalf of the government, expressed regret
that the United Nations General Assembly's call to the Soviet
Union on Oct. 27 to desist from exploding its 50 megaton Hydro-
gen bomb had gone unheeded.
She cited Israel's record of calling for total disarmament and
support in the General Assembly for all actions to end such testing
and said there,could be no question about Israel's position on the
issue. The question she said was the method which the Knesset
should adopt and she proposed the issue be submitted to the
committee for security and- foreign affairs.
Menahem Beigin, leader of the Herut party, sought Knesset
support for a proposal calling on the parliaments of the World
to urge cessation of nuclear testing. A Communist motion to debate
the issue and its background and implications was defeated.
