WASHINGTON — State Department career officers found President Kennedy's decision to provide Israel with Hawk missiles reminiscent of the 1948 recognition of Israel by President Truman in defiance of U.S. diplomats. President Kennedy issued a direct order to Secretary of State Dean Rusk after realizing that the Department had for years evaded Israel's pleas for balancing arms as the Arabs became well equipped with Soviet jet bombers and missiles. One evasive pretext after another was used by the State Department. The Department claimed that Israel was sufficiently strong, that America was not Israel's traditional arms source, that an arms race must be avoided, and even that Israel exaggerated its peril for fund-raising purposes. Career diplomat s remained as administrations changed. Many were reconciled to Harry Truman's 1948 action. They felt America should pursue Arab favor, even at the expense of Israel. The position papers that went on the desks of the Secretaries of State and Pres- idents since 1948 reflected this conviction. President Kennedy, as a Senator, had clashed with the State Department on Middle Eastern policy. On Nov. 2, 1960, Kennedy charged that American diplomacy in the Arab-Israel situation reflected "too much rhetoric and too little leadership." He told former Senator Herbert H. Lehman that, if an arms race could not be avoided, `then we should not condone any imbalance between the powers for imbalance also leads to war." . Continued on Page 5 BUENOS AIRES, (JTA) A leading spokesman for Argentine Jewry expressed alarm over efforts by the Argentine government to minimize the extent of the anti-Jewish manifestations here because of their effer+, on public opinion abroad. Dr. Isaac Goldenberg, president of DAIA,the central Argentine Jewish represent- ative organization, told a press conference that the statement by Minister of the Interior Alvaro Alsogaray that the government intended to repress the anti-Semitic manifesta- tions was "encouraging." He warned, however, that as long as the government per- mitted the formation and training of Nazi groups as assault troops, "there will exist the danger of aggression against Jews even if this might not be called anti-Semitism." — Dr. Goldenberg advised the Argentine Jewish community that although it was well- organized, it was imperfectly prepared for the abnormal times through which Latin America is living. He noted that the anti-Semitic process was prolonged and the manifes- tations would soon subside. The community,he said, had reacted to them emotionally, rather than rationally and, under existing conditions, the community must not rest. The government announced the appointment of Carlos Alberto Muzzio, a retired Army colonel, as Chief of the Federal Police. Col. Muzzio, who was director of prisons, succeeds Captain Enrique Horacio Green, who failed to halt anti-Jewish incidents. New anti-Jewish incidents were reported as the government announcement was be- ing made. The newspaper La Razon reported from Bahia Blanca that an unsuccessful bomb attempt had been made at the Circulo Zionisa community center there. The walls of the building were smeared with swastikas and anti-Jewish slogans. President Jose Maria Guido of Argentina offered a New Year's greeting to the Jewish community of Argentina in which he stressed that his country respected hu- man dignity and barred social or religious discrimination. President Guido's message was addressed to Dr. Goldenberg, as president of DAIA, which, he said, represents "a communnity which has contributed, by its noble and te- nacious effort, to the progress of the nation." He said that "as President of a nation traditionally practicing respect for human dignity and excluding any racial, social or religious discrimination, I send a cordial greeting to the Jews of the Argentine in this celebration of the Jewish New Year." Argentina's new Minister of the Interior, Alvaro Alsogaray, was challenged here by the leading Yiddish newspaper in Latin America to "do something concrete • and def- inite" not only to suppress but also to prevent anti-Semitic outbreaks in this country. Sale of Missiles to Israel Minimized by State Dept As One-Time Transaction JINT Lifts an Ancient Curse: The first Jewish border vil- lage on Mt. Gilboa in the Galilee will be be settled before the year's end, it was an- nounced by Joseph Weitz, head of the Land Authority, at a meeting of the JNF board of directors in Jerusalem. The site for the new settlement, chosen by the JNF in con- sultation with the Army and the settlement authorities, is on a high ridge of the mountain, renowned in Jewish history for the curse levelled upon it three thousand years ago by King David. He admonished_ the region to remain forever barren following the violent deaths there of Kink Saul and his son Jonathan. The Land Development Au- thority, which operates within the framework of the Jewish National. Fund, has lifted the royal curse by settling the barren slopes of Gilboa and reclaiming the arid soil in the hitherto uninhabitable region. The first settlers, due to arrive in November, are members of the Hapoel Hamizrachi youth movement. The new village of Gilboa is the second in the chain of new JNF border settlements, the first being Almagor, established last year in the Korazim region, north of Lake Tiberias. The photo shows new immigrants from Morocco clearing the site for the Gilboa village. WASHINGTON, '(JTA)—The Department of State is seeking to minimize the extent of the Amer- ican response to Israel's defense needs, and has informed the Arab states that the sale of Hawk missiles to Israel is a one-time transaction and not indicative of any continuing U. S. commitment to Israeli military requirements. United States diplomats, it was learned from official sources, have told the Arabs that the de- cision to provide Hawks to Israel was not recom- mended by professional diplomats but was imposed by higher authority. In order to dispel what the State Department regards as a "misconception" of the Hawk transaction, diplomats are stressing that this is neither a change nor a reversal of long-stand- ing policy. In view of these diplomats, the U.S.A. intends to continue to avoid becoming a supplier of sophis- ticated weapons to Israel. The Hawk deal was characterized as a single decision to meet a tempor- ary need for an improved Israeli air defense. It was in the meantime learned that the Hawk agreement so far only represents an expression of willingness to make such a sale. It is dependent on negotiation of terms yet to be worked out. Senate Republican leader Everett Dirksen, of Illinois, and six other Republican Senators issued a statement calling on the Administration to follow Continued on Page 30
