Defense Costs Block Israel's
Bid for Economic Independence
JERUSALEM — Finance Min-
ister Pinhas Sapir told the
Knesset Monday that the in-
creased defense expenditures
forced upon the country by the
stepped-up pace of Arab arma-
ment was blocking Israel's
drive for economic indepen-
dence.
Sapir commented on the in-
creased defense appropriations
in presenting to the Knesset
the 1964-65 budget totaling
$1,152,000,000, which repre-
sents an 18.7 per cent increase
over the previous year's bud-
get of $973,000,000.
The actual amount allocated
for defense is not disclosed, but
is included in an item desig-
nated as "Security and Special
Budgets."
Sapir told the Knesset that
the proposed budget aims at
continuing the government's
present economic policy, the
preservation of stability and the
levels except for changes in
the travel tax and the new cap-
ital gains tax.
Expenditures in the draft
budget are based on the assump-
tion that the immigration rate
will remain the same as the
current year, he noted.

over the previous budget in-
cludes $80,300,000 for "Security
and Special Budgets," an item
which now totals 32 per cent of
the entir budget.
Other increases include $18,-
300,000 for health and social
services, which totals over $83
million; $30 million for immi-
grant housing, which now totals
$96,300,000, part of which will
be financed by various savings
funds.
The budget item providing
for repayment of debts and pay-
ment of interest totals $215
million and includes $34 mil-
lion for the redemption of the
Independence Bond Issue.
The budget is based on the
assumption that there will be
no drastic wage increase and in
view of the pending demands
and strike threats by various
groups this assumption will be
put to the test over the next
few months.

5 Leaders Condemn Peddling of
Prejudice, 'Arab Bigotry Truckling'
If it were not for official
United States toleration of Arab
propaganda, blacklisting, boy-
cotts and other discriminations
against American Jews, the in-
cident in which a United States
Information Agency official
questioned the inclusion of Jew-
ish subject matter in a film
about President Johnson would
not have taken place, several
Jewish leaders declared.
Their reference was to a
point made by Allen Carter,
head of TV for the USIA, in
the course of a conference in an
early planning phase of the
film, that the inclusion of se-
quences showing a rabbi might
limit the acceptability of the
film in Arab lands. The writer
and the producer of the film,
Rod Serling and William Froug,
have said that, wholly on con-
siderations of dramatic im-
pact, they later developed a
script omitting all religious ref-
erences.
In a letter to Secretary of
State Dean Rusk, the leaders
blamed "truckling to Arab big-
otry" for creating in the minds
of officials of technical agen-
cies such as USIA "the im-
pression that the United States
policy requires that the irri-
tation of Arab sensibilities be
avoided — even at the cost of
deliberately obscuring one of
our nation's glories, the har-
monious living together of
people of different faiths."
Signers of the letter to the
Secretary of State were Mau-
rice N. Eisendrath, president,
Union of Orthodox Jewish Con-
gregations of America; Daniel
Near Heller, national com-
mander, Jewish War Veterahs
of the United States; George
Maislen, president, United Syna-
Prinz, president, American Jew-
ish Congress.
Their letter was transmitted
Relations Advisory Council.
"It is time," the Jewish lead-
ers wrote, "our government;
put the Arab governments on
notice that we will not passively'
continue to tolerate their ped-
dling of prejudice in our land,
that their blacklists and boy-
cotts and virulent anti-Jewish
propaganda are breaches of in-
ternational hospitality, meriting
vigorous rebuke and official
condemnation."
