Indicated Increased 1965 Needs
An overflow crowd heard of the pressing needs of world and
local Jewry at the annual pre-campaign budget conference of the
Jewish Welfare Federation Sunday at the Jewish Community
Center. Emphasis was placed on an increased need to be met,
during the forthcoming 1965 Allied Jewish Campaign.
Max M. Fisher, national general chairman of the United
Jewish Appeal, echoed the sentiments heard a week earlier at
the national UJA conference in New York, where world and
American Jewish leaders emphasized the dramatic plight of the
needy in many lands, the overflow of new arrivals in Israel and
the end of financial aid through German reparations payments.
He recommended an increase of 20 per cent for overseas aid
including the United Jewish Appeal.
Reports by the chairmen of the major divisions were pre-
ceded by a tribute to the late Abraham Srere, read by the con-
ference chairman, Paul Zuckerman.
Samuel Cohen, assistant director of Federation. outlined
the purposes of the conference, explaining that it sought to find
not a fixed dollar amount out of an unknown campaign achieve-
ment figure, but a working formula to be applied to amounts
other than the $4,675.000 pledged during the 1964 campaign.
Samuel S. Greenberg, chairman of the community relations
division, urged that priorities to this division be reappraised in the
JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Le vi Eshkol Tuesday presented to the Knes-
set a new Cabinet with himself at the head of the government: The new Cabinet is
identical with the old which resigned last week.
While addressing the Knesset Tuesday, Eshkol expressed regret over the So-
viet Union's veto of the American-British resolution at the United Nations Security
Council which was formally rejected Mon day although eight members of the Coun
cil voted for it
Eshkol said Israel will continue its "dialogue" with the Soviet Union in an
effort to improve USSR-Israel relations.
The resolution introduced by the U.S. and Great Britain called upon Israel
and Syria to cooperate fully with the ch airman of the Israel-Syrian Mixed Arm
istice Commission and to cooperate in a resurvey of the border pat h where the
Syr;ans had fired on an Israeli patrol.
The central committee of the Ma pai party decided unanimously that Levi
Eshkol be asked to form a new government.
A proposal that the central committee should recommend to Mapai minis
ters acceptance of Ben-Gurion's demand for a new inquiry was rejected, 124 to 61.
Ben-Gurion declined to participate in the vote. A proposal to recommend an
investigation as he had demanded was voted down 16 to 8. Eshkol did not attend
the meeting, the outcome of which was a complete victory for his stand in the dis
,
pute.
Popular opposition to Ben-Gurion's battle continued to rise. In an unprece-
dented occurrence, anti-Ben-Gurion inscriptions appeared on the walls of Tel Aviv'
main streets. Students and faculty mem bers of Bar-Ilan University staged a dem-
onstration last week. against any renewal of inquiries into the Lavon• case and in
support of Mr. Ben-Gurion.
Ben-Gurion said "I have only one or two more years to live. I don't want
Israel to fall down after I die." He insis ted he sought only justice for Israel in his
