(Continued from Page 1) the sparsely populated Arab countries having abundant land and water." He added that the present Arab rulers would not cooperate in they a solution as long as they were conspiring to destroy Israel. He added that, if it were not for this conspiracy, the refugee problem would no longer exist just as it no longer existed in India and Pakistan after the partition of the two countries, although each country received millions of refugees. He recalled having personally witnessed the successful absorption in Finland of the half million refugees who left Karelia after that area was annexed by the Soviet Union. Ben-Gurion said peace could be achieved if, with the tension between East and West relaxed, the United States and the Sov- iet Union demanded of the Arab rulers that they sign a peace treaty with Israel as re- quired under the United Na- tions Charter. The governments of the Arab states, he said, would have to be concerned with the needs of their people —economic, educational a n d health—instead. of with dicta- torial rule requiring military demonstrations and the stock- piling of arms. Israel's principal tasks," de- clared Ben-Gurion, are: "1. Strengthening of security through deterrent military force and enhancement of her international position on all continents; 2. Closing the ed- ucational gap between the children of the needy, mostly in the Oriental communities, and those more fortunate, im- parting scientific achieve- ments and spiritual values to the younger generation as far as possible. on an equal level; 3. Revival of the Wilderness, its settlement in the North and in the South of the coun- try, particularly in the ex- panse . of the Negev; 4. Ab- sorption of the growing immi- gration in the economic as well as the cultural sense, and 5. Attainment of econom- ic independence through in- creased labor production, management proficiency and expansion of production and exports." "Every veteran Israeli," add- ed Ben-Gurion, "is called upon to adopt at least one immigrant family, inviting the newcomers to their home and visiting them, taking an interest in their wel- fare, rendering assistance." As for the Jews abroad, he said, he would ask "immigration into Israel of pioneering youth and young technicians and sci- entists; deepening of the per- sonal bond of every Jew with Israel, including non-immi- grants through visits to Israel; the sending of children to study in Israel's secondary and high- Shazar Nominated for Presidency of Israel (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) JERUSALEM — Schneur Zal- man Shazar, author, journalist and member of the Jewish Agency Executive in charge of the department of education and culture for areas outside Israel, was nominated Tuesday to the Presidency of Israel. The nomination was entered by the Mapai Party after Mapai had failed to persuade Kadish Luz, the Acting President, to relin- quish his post as speaker of the Knesset. Under the law, the Knesset is to elect a President for a full term as successor to the late President Itzhak Ben Zvi who died a week ago. Mapai asked all parties in the Knesset to support Mr. Shazar's candidacy. Schneur Zalman Shazar was born in Mir, Russia, in 1889. Receiving his early education in Russia, he studied later at the Universities of B e r 1 i n, Strassbourg and Frieburg corn- ing to Palestine in 1924. From 1925 to 1948 he was editor of Davar, the organ of Histadrut, the Israel Federation of Labor. He was one of the active lead- ers in organizing the Jewish labor movement in Palestine and was instrumental in form- ing the merger of the Poale Zion, Zeirei, Zion and Hitchdut factions. He served as a mem- ber of Israel's delegation to the United Nations. In 1949-50 he was Minister of Education and introduced compulsory educa- tion in Israel. See Commentary, Page 2 Israel Files Complaint in UN Against Arab Declaration UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA)—Israel complained to the Security Council of the United Nations that the joint declaration of Egypt, Iraq and Syria, issued at Cairo on April 17, establishing a new federa- tion of the three countries, is aimed at the destruction of Israel. In a letter to the President of the Council from Michael S. Comay, Israel's permanent rep- resentative here, the United Nations was formally informed of Israel's views, and the head of the Council was requested to circulate the document to all member delegations here. The letter did not ask for a meet- ing of the Council. Comay pointed to two para- graphs in the Cairo declaration which stated: "a) Unity is a revolution especially because it is strongly connected with the question of Palestine and the national duty to liberate it; b) The establishment of a military unity capable of liberating the Arab homeland from the dan- gers of Zionism." That expres- sion, stated Comay, "signifies nothing else than the aim to destroy Israel." "It is unprecedented for a constitutional document of member states of the United Nations to proclaim the destruc- tion of another member state which is one of the avowed aims of the new federation," the Israel complaint stressed. "Such a declaration is incompatible with the obligation of all mem- bers of the United Nations to refrain in their international re- lations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political indepen- dence of any state. The Gov- ernment of Israel, therefore, deems it necessary to place on record its view that these aims of the Cairo Joint declaration are a flagrant violation of the Charter and a direct threat to international peace and se- curity." Nazi Rearrested on Charge He Killed Hungarian Jews FRANKFURT, (JTA) — For- mer SS Captain Otto Hunsche, previously sentenced for a five- year prison term for complicity in the murder of 600 Hungarian Jews, but released pending final court confirmation of the judg- ment, was rearrested and was charged with the mass murder of Hungarian Jews, along with ex- SS Major Hermann Krumey. Both were principal aides of the late Adolf Eichmann.

Discussing the question of religion in Israel, he said: "I believe, that we must be faith- ful to our Proclamation of In- dependence—signed by all pol- itical parties, from the Com- munists to the Agudat Israel— which stipulates that the State of Israel will guarantee free- dom of religion, conscience, language, education and cul- ture. This policy should be the guidepost for both religious and secular elements." Touching on Zionism and immigration, he told the JTA that "my greatest disappont- ment, after the establishment of the State, was that Zionist leaders throughout the Dia- spora did not come here to settle and did not serve as an example to the. people." He added "it has always been my conviction as I understood the Zionist ideal, that the ideal meant a desire to. return to Zion and personally to par- ticipate in the upbuilding of the homeland and the resur- gent nation. Naturally, every- body has the right to define Zionism as he wishes. My view is that the Zionist move- ment, which undoubtedly has great historic merits, should turn into an all-Jewish organ- ization that would strengthen within the Jewish people consciousness and unity, and would help toward strengthen- ing Israel economically, cul- turally and politically." "As chairman of the World Zionist Executive," he contin- ued, "I saw it as my duty to tend to the equipment of a Jew- ish Army which did not yet exist. I accomplished that task in two ways: through acquisi- tion of modern machinery and tools for the establishment of our own arms industry, and through acquisition of military equipment — light and heavy arms, submachine guns, tanks and fighter planes which the underground Haganah could not possess." The Premier recalled the day of March 28, 1948, when radio broadcasts reported that War- ren R. Austin head of the Un- ited States delegation to the United Nations, had told the United Nations Security Coun- cil that the United States deemed it necessary to with- draw its support of the Pales- tine partition plan which had been voted the previous Novem- ber. Instead, Sen. Austin pro- posed that a UN trusteeship re- gime be instituted for the whole of Palestine. "I was then at Hagadah Headquarters at Tel A v i v," Ben-Gurion recalled, "and could not consult my colleagues on the Zionist Executive, who were in Jerusalem. I saw it my duty immediately to state: "This stand of the United States in no way alters fundamentally the situation in the country, nor does it undermine the establish- ment of the Jewish State. Estab- lishment of the State was not, in effect, given in the United Na- tions resolution (on Palestine Partition) of last Nov. 29 — although the resolution was of great moral and political value —but by our ability to bring about a decision in the country by force. Through our own strength—if we will it and suc- ceed in mobilizing it fully—the State will be established even now.' "And the State came into be- ing—and we were forced to fight for its existence. We won and I have no doubt that this was one of the greatest achieve- ments in our history as a na- tion."' Yeshiva University has re- ceived a National Science Found- ation grant of $89,500 for sup- port of an "In-Service Institute in Science and Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers," Dr. Samuel Belkin, president, an- nounced. The grant, under the direction of Dr. Abe Gelbart, Belfer Grad- uate School of Science dean, will terminate in June, 1964. Under the grant, high school mathematics and physics teach- ers, selected by the University, will be able to continue advanced studies in their specialties. Murry Is.
