Peace Depends on West, USSR,
Ben-Gurion Declares in London
LONDON (JTA)—Former Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion, arriv-
ing here for a-brief visit, said that
pacification in the Middle East
was dependent on better relations
between Soviet Union, Europe and
the United States. Adding that no
one could predict when this would
happen, he asserted that "day will
assuredly come."
He termed the scheduled visit of
former West German Chancellor
Konrad Adenauer to Israel next
month, in response to a long-stand-
ing invitation from the former
Premier, a visit of "utmost impor-
tance." He cited the fact that there
were in Israel many survivors of
the Nazi regime "who cannot for-
get what Germany did to them and
to the Jewish people, and we must
respect their feelings." But, he
added, those who argue that Ger-
many has not changed "will be
able to see that there is a differ-
ent Germany now, represented by
Dr. Adenauer and others: Dr. Ade-
nauer is as far from Hitler as any
man could be."
Declining to comment on Israel's
internal affairs and on Britain's
current general election campaign,
Ben-Gurion did comment that he
remained convinced that British-
style elections would suit Israel,
and that he was still urging such a
system in Israel.
The organizers of the trek, the
Army's Central Command, pro-
vided mobile synagogues to serve
the hikers for morning and eve-
ning prayers. Other mobile facili-
ties included a shoe repair shop,
soup canteens and first aid sta-
tions.
In addition to the Israeli groups
taking part, several contingents
from abroad, including African
students, Finnish girls, two Eng-
lishmen and a group of diplomats
from the United States Embassy
also joined the march.
TAE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
IC — Friday, April 1, 1966
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Foreign
Minister Abba Eban confirmed in
Parliament the statements of his
ministry this week to the effect
that Israel did not intend to pres-
ent to establish diplomatic rela-
tions with South Vietnam. Speak-
ing during a debate on his min-
istry's budget, Eban said such
statements had been cleared in ad-
vance with Premier Levi Eshkol
and himself.
The issue developed as a result
of a statement last Monday in
Washington by Vu Van Thai, the
S o u t h Vietnam ambassador to
the United States, who said that
negotiations for such relations had
been held by officials of Israel and
South Vietnam.
Eban said he did not think it
was wise for the Israel govern-
ment to commit itself to categori-
cal statements of rejection of such
relations, and that the government
should be left with the option of
adopting a different attitude if cir-
cumstances changed. He added
that/ any further steps regarding
South Vietnam would be taken at
the cabinet level, with participa-
NEW YORK (JTA)—Long-sim-
mering opposition inside New
York's 27,000-member police force
to Chief Inspector Sanford Garelik
was attributed by a non-Jewish po-
lice captain to resentment because
"his appointment was a threat to
the Irish dynasty in the depart-
ment."
Garelik, holding the highest
uniformed post in the police de-
partment, is a Bronx-born Jew,
the son of immigrants from Rus-
sia, and was brought up in an
Orthodox Jewish home. He was
named to his position two months
ago when the top echelons of the
police department were reor-
ganized after Mayor John V.

The Tel Aviv daily, Maariv, re-
ported that Israel's decision to
withhold recognition of South Viet-
nam followed repeated recent ap-
proaches by Soviet Ambassador Di-
mitri Chuvakhin to the Israel For-
eign Ministry against 'such recog-
nition. Official government sources
declined to comment on the Maa-
riv story.
According to Maariv, the Soviet
envoy made his first plea during a
call on the foreign ministry, and
then repeated it at private meet-
ings with ministry officials. The
envoy reportedly asked Israel to
take an open anti-United States
stand on the issue, and to call the
United States intervention "Amer-
ican imperialism." At the same
time, United States Ambassador
Walworth Barbour asked Israel to
provide aid to the Saigon regime.
The final decision was that,
since Israel was not involved in
the South Vietnam conflict, Israel
would not yield to either request,
and neither attack the United,
States nor provide aid to Saigon.',
Israel also decided not to recog-!
nize the Saigon regime under these
circumstances.

He devoted an address here to
the Joint Palestine Appeal dinner,
Tuesday, to the problems of Is-
rael's Negev area. He predicted
that the Negev would some day
contain 2,000,000 Israelis. He re-
ported that a study center at Sde
Boker, where he maintains a vaca-
tion home, was now providing fa-
cilities for 300 students at various
levels. He said the center should
be expanded not only to university
status, but also as a facility for re-
search into problems of the Negev
which, if it is to have a large popu-
lation, needs exploitation to the
limits of knowledge.

Police Captain Cyril R. Regan,

said "If his name had been
Sullivan or McCarthy, there would
not have been one-tenth the trou-

resentment toward Garelik has
been occasioned by the feeling
that they, the Irish, had a vested

versity, recently returned from
the Soviet Union where he went

back with him a sheaf of modern
Russian music scores which he

time in the United States. Dur-
ing his visit, Spiegelman gave
harpsichord recitals in Moscow
and Leningrad. His perform-
ances were hailed by the Soviet

of "brilliant technique, subtle

style." Commenting on his trip,
Spiegelman report e d that
contrary to popular belief, he
found a number of musicians in
Soviet conservatories are exer-
cising a complete freedom to
compose in new modes such as
