JERUSALEM — Municipal of-
ficials said city hall will be
built on a three-acre plot on
King George Avenue opposite
Heichal Shlomo, the religious
center.
The construction will take
four years at an outlay of $2,-
600,000. Final approval for the
structure was . granted by the
Central Town Planning Author-
ity. Foes of the project unsuc-
cessfully advocated alternate
sites. They contended that the
King George Avenue site was
unsuitable because it is adjacent
to a supermarket.

Ask Firm Action
to Prevent New .
Attack on Israel
The American Israel Public
Affairs Committee called on the
Administration and Congress "to
take firm action to prevent a
new Arab attack on Israel and
to work for an Arab-Israel
peace."
National Jewish leaders of the
Committee adopted a six point
statement of policy at the com•
mittee's fourth annual confer-
ence held at the Sheraton Park
Hotel, Washington, Saturday
night and Sunday.
They appealed to the President
for a security guarantee to deter
and prevent aggression in the
Middle East; the grant of arms
to Israel to ensure the arms bal-
ance; continued economic as-
sistance to the peoples of the
area; careful administration of
the U.S. aid program to ensure
that no assistance is diverted to
finance preparations for aggres-
sion; resistance to the Arab boy-
cott and Arab belligerence; ac-
tion to hasten rehabilitation,
training and resettlement of
Arab refugees.
Speakers included • Ambassa-
dor Avraham Harman of Israel;
Senator Thomas H. Kuchel of
California; Myer Feldman, De-
puty Special Counsel to the Pres-
ident; Richard K. Lyon, Presi-
dent of the Jewish Community
Council of Greater Washington,
and Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein of
Rochester, N.Y., . Chairman of
the of the Public Affairs Com-
mittee, who presided. Rabbi Isa-
dore Breslau of Washington paid
tribute to the memory of the
late President of Israel.
Rabbi Bernstein urged the
U.S. to check further aggres-
sion by President Nasser of
the United Arab Republic by
clear affinuatiive action to
guarantee peace, to safeguard
the borders in the Middle
East and to make clear to
Nasser in unequivocal terms
that "he may go thus far and
no farther without encounter-
ing American intervention."
He called for the withholding
of further U.S. financial aid until
Nasser ceases the program for
the destruction of Israel.
Rabbi Bernstein was sharply
critical of the American Council
for Judaism which has attacked
Israel's American friends at a
convention in New York this
weekend.
He pointed out that its mem-
bership constitutes less than one
percent of the Jewish population
of this country.

JERUSALEM — Mrs. Golda
Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister,
who left a hospital this week
after two weeks of treatment,
Wednesday received two visit-
ing foreign ministers at her
home—Sierra Leone's Dr. John
Karafasmart and Costa Rica's
Daniel Oduber Quiros. They ar-
rived Tuesday as official guests
of the government.
Rumors of Mrs. Meir's inten-
tions by her to quit her post
were scotched by a Mapai leader
as unfounded. However, he add-
ed that prior to her illness, she
had expressed a desire to re-
sign.
Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion was understood to be
particularly eager that she re-
tain the Foreign Ministry port-
folio and if she does, it will be
entirely because the Prime Min-
ister so wishes.
