JERUSALEM, — Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion denied once again
Monday night, in a speech in the
Knesset, that Israel is producing
nuclear weapons. Any reports to that
effect. he asserted, are "fabri-
cations — deliberate or unconscious."
The Prime Minister spoke to Parli-
ment about atomic developments. Is-
rael's years-long insistence on peace
talks with hostile Arab states. and
regional disarmament, as he attacked
a motion proposed by the left-wing
Mapam party and the Communists.
The two parties demanded that
Parliament engage in full-scale de-
bate on those issues. The Knesset re-
jected the motions overwhelmingly.
Israel's atomic reactor in the
Negev. now under construction, the
Prime Minister said, as well as the
nuclear reactor completed in 1960
with United States assistance, were
both designed for peaceful purposes.
Ben-Gurion reiterated Israel's
standing offer for complete disarma-
ment in the Middle East and ex-
pressed regret over the fact that
neither the United States nor the
Soviet Union was willing to support
a 16-nation resolution in the UN
General Assembly last year, calling
for direct Arab-Israeli peace talks.
The government leader pointed out
that. only last week, $he Knesset's
own committee on security and ex-
ternal affairs heard reports about
Egypt's new rocketry program and
the latest threats by Egypt's Presi-
dent Gamal Abdel Nasser to destroy
Israel.
George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, who came to England
to assist in the formation of the international anti-Semitic movement, was in hiding for
several days before he was found by Scotland Yard operatives on Wednesday and was
ordered deported on Thursday. During his brief stay in England, he addressed several
anti-Semitic rallies. At one of them, at Gloucestershire, Tuesday night, angry villagers
attacked the camp site. A bullet hole was shot through a displayed Nazi flag. Continued
fascist anti-Semitic activities have created demands for government action to stem the
tide of an emerging Hitler-patterned movement.

LONDON—While George Lincoln Rockwll
was being sought all over England, British Home Sec-
retary Henry Brooke maintained that it was not known officially that the Nazi was in the country. Later
it was conceded that Rockwell had entered the country through the Irish airport of Shannon.
American Embassy officials aided British plainclothes officers in directing the nationwide search
for Rockwell. Detectives called at homes of known fascists to look for the American Nazi leader. Mean-
while immigration officers at channel ports received fresh orders Wednesday to keep out known Euro-
pean fascists.
Most British newspapers kept up a barage of criticism against the government for having permit-
ted Rockwell to make appearances in England.
The Daily Herald criticized the "Whitehall farce, recalled that the Home Office had issued its ban
against Rockwell's entry last week, after terming Rockwell an "undesirable." "It seems easier," stated
the Daily Herald editorially, "for a banned American Nazi to enter this country than for a common-
wealth immigrant. It is bewildering that there should be so much dithering about looking for this
undesirable man and throwing him out. Hitler used to rely on the English week-end to paralyze
Whitehall. It is still paralyzed."
Brooke was scheduled to go over Rockwell's dossier and to
look into the details as to how the man had eluded immigration
officers, as well as his present whereabouts. It is understood that,

State Dept. Says It Won't Recall Envoy
from Moscow to Protest Tyranny of Jews
Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The State Department said Wednesday that it
Would not favor recall of U.S. Ambassador Llewelyn Thompson from Moscow
as a protest against Soviet anti-Semitism because U.S. Government intercession
might do Soviet Jewry more harm than good.
The department's views were conveyed in a letter by Assistant Secretary
of State Frederick G. Dutton to Sen. Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut who had
urged the recall of the ambassador.
Dutton said that "despite reports of more forceful action against Soviet
Jewry than other religious groups, it still does not seem that Soviet authorities
have decided to return on a large scale to extremely repressive methods em-
ployed against religious groups and racial minorities during the Stalin era."
He said: "It was not clear from available information whether police action
against various individual Jews has its actual basis in anti-Semitism or whether
this arises from a presently intensified campaign of Soviet authorities to stamp
out black marketeering, speculation, other economic crimes involving illegal
manufacturing, theft or misappropriation of state property, bribery of officials,
other chronic abuses."
- He noted that a "majority of Jews arrested have been accused of such
acts, considered criminal under Soviet law, susceptible to harsh sentences up
to and including capital punishment."
He considered it Impossible "to determine whether Soviet Jews deliberately
are being singled out as Jews for a disproportionate amount of condemnation
victimization."
The State Department acknowledged the continuing "long-term Soviet cam
paign against religion generally" but did not feel that an extreme. new anti-
Jewish campaign is taking place.
Commenting on the proposal to recall the U.S. Ambassador, Dutton said
that "while such a step might dramatize the problem, it would have no positive
effect upon actions of the Soviet government toward Soviet Jews or upon their
position in the Soviet Union. Indeed, it could even do more harm than good."
Dutton said the Soviet Union considers this problem a "purely internal
matter." He said the State Department had raised the question several times
in past years without apparent result.
In the department's view, "it is doubtful if further protestations would be
helpful to Jews in the Soviet Union. The Soviet government has al.vays ac-
cused Soviet Jews of being under the influence of foreign governments, includ-
ing the United States. Further intervention concerning problems of the Jewish
minority in the USSR might well rebound to the disadvantage of Soviet Jewry."
The State Department thought it preferable if those concerned about Soviet
Jewry acted as private individuals through private organizations to bring perse-
cution to the-notice of world public opinion. It cited the United Nations Com-
mission on Human Rights as a possible helpful agency interested in such data.
