JERUSALEM—Foreign Minis-
ter Golda Meir expressed regret
and astonishment at the failure

German scientists from working
in arms development in other
countries.
10,000 Immigrants
Reach Israel in '63;
60 Pct. Are Latins
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — Some 10,000
immigrants arrived in Israel last
year from the free countries,
6,000 of them from Latin Ameri-
ca, it was reported here by the
Jewish Agency Immigration De-
partment.
An increase in the number of
immigrants from these coun-
tries is expected during the
current year.
Stressing that most of these
immigrants were young and
easy to integrate into the life
of the country, the spokesman
said that the proportion of im-
migrants leaving Israel was not
large and was a natural pheno-
menon in countries absorbing
considerable immigration.
The Bonn government had
been under pressure to intro-
duce such a bill since the ac-
tivities of German scientists
working on Egyptian uncon-
ventional arms projects came
to light last year.
Replying in the Knesset, Is-
rael's Parliament, to a question
by Herut l'eputy Chaim Lan-
dau, Mrs. Meir said the Israel
government has done every-
thing necessary under the cir-
cumstances. But she expressed
regret and astonishment that
the Bonn government has not
yet succeeded in passing legis-
lation prohibiting West German
citizens from working in arms
development in countries aimed
at attacking other countries.
The Knesset accepted Mrs.
Meir's proposal not to debate
the issue of the German
scientists working in Egypt
and agreed to pass the matter
on to the foreign affairs
committee.

Wednesday from Beirut.
Jew 1st U.S. Citizen
to Receive Bolivar
Medal in Colombia
BOGOTA, Colombia, (JTA)-
Simon Daro Dawidowicz, an
American Jew, became the first
U.S. citizen ever to receive the
Bolivarian Medal at a ceremony
held here.
The award is customarily
given only to the presidents of
Colombia and Venezuela, or to
prominent Latin American stu-
dents of the achievements of
Simon Bolivar. The latter is al-
most universally revered
throughout South America as the
liberator of the continent.
U.S. Ambassador Fulton Free-
man and members of the Colom-
bian cabinet attended the cere-
mony in which the Bolivarian
Society's traditional six-pointed
star was hung around the neck
of the recipient of the honor.
Lt. Col. Alberto Lazano, pres-
ident of the society, hailed
Dawidowicz as "a select spirit."
Dawidowicz was formerly a full-
time reesident of Colombia.
He now conducts record dis-
tributing businesses in New
York and in Bogota, spending
part of each year here.
The itineraries of the visits
have been planned to assure
that nearly all parts of the
world will be covered by at
least one foreign minister of
a major Arab state.
According to the program,
every foreign minister of the
Arab League countries will visit
Washington. Britain, Russia and
France tie for second place with
visits scheduled by 11 Arab for-
eign ministers either singly or
in small groups.
Communist China will have
three visits, and Nationalist
China two. The Egyptian for-
eign minister will visit 23 coun-
tries.
Yemen will exclude Britain
because Britain has not rec-
ognized the republican re-
gime there. Jordan for rea-
sons not indicated also will
exclude Britain.
Apart from Russia, Jordan's
foreign minister will visit the
United States, Nationalist China
and some South American
countries. Six of the Arab offi-
cials will visit West Germany.
1st Jewish Foundation
Set Up in Manitoba
WINNIPEG, (JTA) —After
two years of planning, more
than 100 leaders of the Jewish
community have formally estab-
lished the first province-wide
organization of its type, the
Jewish Foundation of Manitoba.
A charter of incorporation
will be presented by the new
group to the next session of the
Manitoba Provincial Legisla-
ture. Joseph H a 1 p r i n, chief
force behind the plan, was
elected president.
Experts on the Arab scene
here expressed some doubt as
to what the foreign ministers
would be able to do that their
ambassadors cannot do.
However, they added it ap-
peared that the Arabs felt they
must take "every path in seek-
ing to square accounts" with
Israel.

U.S. Embassy in Lebanon
Attempts to Pacify Arabs
After M.E. Policy Talk
LONDON, (JTA) — The ad-
dress last week by U. Alexis
Johnson, deputy undersecretary
of state for political affairs, in
Washington was not directed
against the Arab states, the U.S.
Embassy in Beirut has stated,
according to Beirut dispatches
received here.
In his address, Johnson had
said that part of the Ameri-
can policy in the Middle East
seeks to "insure the security
and integrity of the individual
states in the area — including
Israel."
The Arab press has reacted to
this statement with anger, hold-
ing that Johnson's statement
was an answer to the Arab sum-
mit conference held earlier this
month at Cairo.
The U.S. Embassy at Beirut
has issued a statement saying
Johnson's remarks merely re-
iterated Washington's opposition
to aggression, contain nothing
new, and were not directed at
any particular parties." "Oppos-
ition to aggression from any
quarter," the embassy declared,
"is a continuing United States
policy."
Asserting that the Bonn gov-
ernment could have passed such
a law if it had wanted to do so,
Mrs. Meir told the Knesset that
the Israel government would
judge such legislation by its
actual results if the law were
passed.
I have no secret of success
but hard work.
