Ben-Gurion BattlesOpposition
to Retain Military Rule at Borders

E

Minister reportedly considers
their retention essential for
emergencies.
A meeting of the Mapai Sec-
retariat, at which discussion of
the problem was started, sup-
ported the Prime Minister's
position generally. One or two
Mapai officials held that the
proposed special committee
should study the possibility of
ending military government en-
tirely.
All Secretariat members
agreed, however, that no major
changes should be made under
pressure of the parties which
oppose the regulations.

Refugee Appeal reports that Eu-
ropean Jewish communities are
"facing almost impossible prob-
lems in attempting to cope with
a new flood of refugees."
The organization said that the
refugees had created "immense
problems, both immediate and
long-term, for the Jewish organi-
zations to which they have turned
for assistance."
A flood of refugees is concen-
trated in Marseilles, CORRA re-
ported, declaring that "the city's
Jewish population rose from
8,000 in the 1950's to nearly 40,-
000 even before the Jewish ref-
ugees started to swell its num-
bers."
The organization stressed the
refugees "need of emergency aid,
