Eshkol Now Considers Cabinet Without Religious Party
TEL AVIV (JTA) — Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol, who is in the
process of forming a new coali-
tion government to replace the
present caretaker government, was
reported to be threatening to form
a coalition without the National
Religious Party, unless the latter
_eases its persistent demands for
tricter religious laws, particular-
y one regarding Sabbath observ-
_ nee.
A coalition without the participa-
tion of the religious group would
be possible. Such a government
would include representatives of
the Mapai-Ahdut Avoda align-
ment, plus Mapam and the In-
dependent Liberal Party, giving
Eshkol a total of 58 seats in the
new Knesset (Parliament). Since
there are 120 seats in the Knesset,
such a line-up would make the
government dependent on the four
places held by the Mapai-affiliated
bloc of Arab seats to obtain a
majority.
President. Zalman Shazar sum-
moned Premier Eshkol Sunday and
formally requested him to form
a new government for Israel as a
result of the out-come of the Nov.
2 elections in which the Eshkol-
led Mapai-Ahdut Avoda alignment
had won 45 seats in the new
Kness et.
According to reports in reli-
gious circles here, Rabbi Joseph
B. Soloveitchik, of Boston, has
been urging the NRP to stiffen
its position on behalf of more
strict religious legislation. The
Boston rabbi has reportedly ad-
vised his friends here that it
would be better for the NRP
to be in the opposition unless
its pre-conditions were accepted
by Mr. Eshkol.
The religious group insists that
the new government support the
adoption of a new, strict Sabbath
observance law as well as other
stringent legislation that would
strengthen religious i n f 1 u e n c e.
Mapam and the Independent Lib-
erals, however, demand that, at
the very least, the less strict reli-
gious practice laws in existence
prior to the elections be main-
tained.
Police moved in Saturday to
prevent entry into Jerusalem of
some 40 cars bearing placards
protesting the agreement between
Jerusalem Mayor-elect Theodore
Kollek and Jerusalem's municipal
religious party leaders to restrict
traffic in Jerusalem during the
Sabbath.
Although only a few score of
ultra-Orthodox zealots assembled
at the city's entrance in anticipa-
tion of the protest cavalcade,
police said they had been tipped
off that large numbers were ready

Argentine Jewry Protests 'Meddling'
by 'Certain' American Organizations
BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — Pro-
tests against "certain" American
organizations "meddling in South
American Jewish community life"
were reiterated here at a meeting
of the Kehilla, the Buenos Aires
Jewish community.
Gregorio Fainguersch, president
of the Kehilla, said that South
American communities will not
tolerate Rich interference.
Last week, Dr. Isaac Goldenberg,
president of the DAIA, the repre-
sentative organization of Argentine
Jewry, criticized plans by the Bnai
Brith board of governors in Wash-
ington to provide aid in human
relations activities in Latin Amer-
ican countries.
Open criticism against "those
who, from many thousands of
miles away, attempt to tell us
how to manage our affairs,"
was voiced by Dr. Goldenberg at
the biennial conference of the
DAIA. He told the 120 delegates
from all parts of the country
that "our community possesses
generous traits and has the valor
to stand up to situations when
needed. In the present world
situation, mere literature against
anti - Semitism and sociologic
studies are not enough. The com-
munities need to become factors
of power and deterrence."
His remarks, as part of his bien-
nial policy report as president, re-
ceived prolonged applause from
the delegates at the session.
Jewish leaders in Argentina, he
said, must be "permanently on the
alert in order to live peacefully
with the general community. Dur-
ing brief lapses from normalcy,
we must be prepared for abnormal
situations which may occur at any
time, anywhere." He asked for
"ample support" for DAIA and
for unity within the Jewish com-
munity.

to launch attacks on the motor-
ists. Police officials said they ban-
ned the cavalcade to prevent dis-
turbance of the peace. Later, the
drivers were allowed to move their
cars into the city in small groups.
They assembled in front of the
National Museum, of which the
mayor-elect is chairman, to hold
a protest rally.
Meanwhile, an important Knes-
set committee chairmanship seemed
to have been agreed upon between
Mapai and Ahdut Avoda, the part-
ners in the major political align-
ment. At a meeting of the two
groups, it was reported, Eshkol
had agreed to back Israel Galili,
secretary-general of Ahdut Avoda,
for the chairmanship of the Knes-
set's Foreign Affairs and Security
Committee. He would replace
David Hacohen, of Mapai, in that
post.
Mordechai Namir on Sunday
was reelected mayor of Tel Aviv.
He won the seat by a vote of 18
to 11 in the Municipal Council.
His principal rival for the post
was Mordechai Stern, represent-
ing Gahal, the alignment of the
Herut and Liberal parties. In the
final voting, however, Stern ab-
stained. Namir is a member of the
Mapai Party.
delegation from the American
Jewish Congress, attending the
session as guests, Mark Turkow,
South American executive member
of the World Jewish Congress, re-
ported that, recently, there have
been grave manifestations of anti-
Semitism in Paraguay.
He said that, at Asuncion, capital
of Paraguay, Jewish tombstones
were desecrated recently and
swastikas had been smeared on
Jewish grave markers as well as
on the Monument to Nazi Victims.
Turkow added, however, that
Paraguayan police have acted
vigorously on the manifestations,
arresting and investigating 200
suspects. The Paraguayan press,
he said, both those newspapers
that support the government and
others in the opposition,
"energetically condemned the
anti-Semitic profanations." The
session adopted a resolution ex-
pressing the Argentine Jewish
community's solidarity with the
Jews of Paraguay.
Before their departure, Will
Maslow, executive director of the
organization who headed the dele-
gation, praised the vitality of Jew-
ish life here. The Buenos Aires
Jewish community, he said, "has
organizational structure, dedicated
leadership and the will to survive
Jewishly, auguring well for the
future. American Jewry can profit
in many ways by the Argentine
example."
The Argentine Jewish commun-
ity, Maslow asserted, "neither
needs nor desires interventions by
American Jewish organizations in
defending its own interests, and
the American Jewish Congress
agrees thoroughly with this point
of view."
Earlier, Israel Ambassador
Moshe Alton gave a reception for
the members of the delegation.
From here they headed for Chile.
The AJC study mission of Latin
America had visited, prior to com-
ing here, Caracas, Venezuela, and
Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo,
Brazil.
