Govt. Professionals

Strike for Sept. 5
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire

News)
JERUSALEM — S o me 20,000
Israeli doctors, engine ers and
other professionals employed in
government and public enterprises
will start a general strike Sept.
5, their coordinating committee de-
cided Monday night.
The strike will be in p r o t e s t
gainst the government's delay in
acting on their demands for ad-
justment of their salaries to those
of senior administrative officials
in the government and public serv-
ice enterprises. The principle of
parity between the two groups had
been agreed upon. A few months
ago, Supreme Court Justice Y. Suss-
man, acting as arbitrator, decided
that_ the starting point for the de-
manded adjustments should be the
situation as of March 31, 1964.
Since then, according to the co-
ordinating committee, negotiations
have dragged on in a joint com-
mittee with the government with
no progress. The strike will affect
high school and university teach-
ers, scientists in government serv-
ices, pharamacists, economists and
other groups of degree-holding pro-
fessionals employed by municipali-
ties, public services and public in-
stitutions.

Haifa Dig Reveals
Centuries of Culture
Before Common Era
TEL AVIV — The ruins of a
city that shows consecutive levels
of culture ranging from the 10th
to 6th centuries B.C.E. have been
uncovered by archaeologists on
the shore of the Mediterranean
near Haifa.
Thirteen wine casks estimated
to be 2,800 years old were found
in a cellar at the Tel Shikmona
site. The Hebrew word "lemelech"
(to the king) was inscribed on two
potsherds, which led archaeolo-
gists to believe they were wine
duty labels.
The municipality of Haifa spon-
sored the excavations at Tel Shik-
mona, which lies on the border
between two ancient civilizations:
the Israelite and Phoenician. It is
unknown to which of the two civ-
ilizations the site•belonged.
Diggers in the past 10 weeks
also have uncovered five geo-
metrically designed mosaic floors
of a late period; masses of pots-
herds, jar's, votive figurines of the
pagan goddess Ashtoret and bronze
and bone instruments. It is pos-
sible to reconstruct a plan of the
early Persian-period city, based on
traces of houses found. There were
also parts of the old city wall be-
lieved to date back to the days of
King Solomon.
The late Byzantine period was
videnced in another layer, where
mosiac floors were found, in addi-
tion to two crossed roads and
three dwelling houses.
Israel WineCellar Blast ,
Kills Five, Injures More
TEL AVIV (JTA)—Five persons
were burned alive Sunday in Bin-
yamina in a fire caused by an ex-
plosion in an alcohol fermentation
vat in the Eliaz Wine Cellars. A
labor ministry inspector said that
it appeared the blast had been
caused by ignition of alcohol fumes
from sparks of a nearby welding
operation.
Eight persons suffered injuries
in the blast, and two of them were
reported still in critical condition.
The victims were a Jerusalem
woman and her 14-year-old son, an
18-year-old girl, and two male
workers. One of them, Yaakov
Deutsch, was the adopted son of a
British Jewish millionaire, B. Wil-
liams, owner of the wine cellars.
Crisis Mounts in Mapai
(Continued from Page 1)
elections for the Knesset (Parlia-
ment), against the official. Mapai
list to be headed by Prime Minister
Levi Eshkol.
The Mapai secretariat had al-
ready ruled that Ben-Gurion and
six of his leading adherents had
"expelled" themselves from the
party.
Defying the Court of Honor,
Ben-Gurion delivered a 90-min-
ute address in which he turned
the tables. He rejected the role
of defendant; declared himself,
instead, the accuser; and insist.
ed he was placing both the party
and its topmost court on trial
for "lack of moral values."
The chairman of the Court of
Honor thanked Ben-Gurion for ac-
cepting the summons to appear.
The head of the court requested
the attorneys for both sides to put
their questions to Ben-Gurion "in
a style which is in accordance with
his rights."
Ben-Gurion pr o m p t l y replied
that he expected no special rights
for his services to Israel but that,
on the other hand, he did- not want
"the opposite." He then launched
into an attack on Eshkol's leader-
ship. In the "battle between the
party machine and moral values,"
he declared, "the latter will win."
He added that, while he had been
called to the court as a defendant,
he was in fact "the accuser."
Charging that Mapai today was
not what it was in the past, the
79-year-old leader told the court:
"I cannot work with colleagues
who are yesmen." He assailed the
limited alignment which Premier
Eshkol had worked out with Ahdut
Avodah for the parliamentary
elections, declaring that "the
party is now not Mapai but an
alignment. Rafi is the real
Mapai."
Noting that he had been a mem-
ber of the party for 59 years, he
said that "if Mapai does not stand
for moral values any more. I am
unprepared to accept this. Lately,
there has been a reign of fear and
terror in the party. Thousands of
officials in the party machine de-
pend on this state of affairs. But
honest people like Moshe Dayan
and Shimon Peres were unpre-
pared to agree to this."
Dayan resigned earlier this year
as minister of agriculture in sup-
port of Ben-Gurion's challenge to
Eshkol but has not formally joined
Rafi. Peres resigned as deputy
defense minister and is one of the
six Rafi leaders declared "self-
expelled."
Because of the situation within
Mapai, Ben-Gurion said, "we
were brought to this trial.
But there are cases when ma-
jority decisions are wrong, and
this is one of them. I will not
agree to be expelled from Mapai
as long as I live."
There were indications that the
court hearing may last several
more weeks, and that Eshkol may
also be called as a witness.
The secretariat action in sus-
pending Ben-Gurion and his
followers was challenged by Rafi
on grounds that the Ben-Gurion
backers had not been invited to
that meeting. The challenge was
sustained by the Tel Aviv district
court. In response the party's cen-
tral committee dismissed the 64-
member secretariat and then re-
Anti-Semitism Still Grave,
Says Romanian Rabbi
(Continued from Page 1)
The chief rabbi of Romania de-
clared that "rapprochment be-
tween Jews and Christians, which
is so much wanted, is possible
only by the eradication of anti-
Semitism, not by minimizing it."
Another of the Jewish repre-
sentatives at the conference,
Rabbi Balfour Brickner, repre-
senting the Reform movement in
the United States, said that the
fact that anti-Semitism had "bare-
ly been mentioned during the
Work is more pleasant in the Christian-Jewish discussions here
sight of the Lord than the merits was indicative of that subject's
true place in the scale of values."
of your fathers. —the Talmud
elected all of its members except
11 supporters of Rafi.
The final session Monday was
marked by an impassioned state-
ment by Yaacov Shapiro, attorney
for the Mapai prosecution. He
charged that Rafi was a "neo-
facist group based on the leader
principle."
He asserted that Ben-Gurion had
"attempted to set himself up as
more equal than others," when he
appeared before the court last
week. The prosecuting attorney
quoted from George Orwell's sa-
tire, "Animal Farm," in which
one of the animals which drove out
their human masters, to establish
self-government, justified setting
up a dictatorship on grounds that
"all animals are equal, but some
are more equal than others."
Nahum Shadmi, head of Ma-
pai's control commission, who
appeared with Shapiro for the
prosecution, told the court that
"despite his achievements, Ben-
Gmion has evidenced all signs
typical of a dicator, and is a dan-
ger to Israel society."
Micha Kaspi, the Rafi attorney,
announced he was withdrawing
from the case. He told the tribunal
that there was no point in his con-
tinuing, since the Court had re-
jected his demand to call Premier
Eshkol, Foreign Minister Golda
Meir, and other Mapai ministers
as witnesses for the defense. The
attorney, however, asked that the
court continue its 'deliberations.
