D.C. 'Leak' on Dimona Visit Believed
Subject of Secret Cabinet Report

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A news
blackout was ordered Sunday on
a report to the Cabinet by Foreign
Minister Abba Eban. The report
is believed to have concerned
talks between Eban and United
States Ambassador Walworth Bar-
bour in which Eban expressed
dissatisfaction over the leak to
the American press of details of
visits by engineers of the United
States Atomic Energy Commis-
sion to the Israeli nuclear reactor
at Dimona.
The Israel Embassy in Wash-
ington will express Israel's "dis-
'satisfaction and concern" over the
news leak, it was indicated here
MOnday. Informed sources said
that while the statement will not
be a formal protest. It will be
energetic, along the lines of the
discussion between Eban and Am-
bassador Barbour.
The American envoy was re-
portedly told that Israel could
not accept the idea that publi-
city be given to matters on
which the two countries had
previously agreed to secrecy.
Eban, at whose invitation the
meeting was held, also reminded
the envoy that the report last
week was not the first incident of
United States "indiscretions." He
cited the news reports on the sale
of Patton tanks and Skyhawk jet
bombers to Israel.
(In Washington, State Depart-
ment officials said Monday there
was no ground for suspicions that
the report on the visit to the
Dimona reactor was leaked by
them to the press. Both the Is-
raeli Embassy in Washington and
the State Department declined to
comment on the issue. State De-
partment officials stressed that the
American scientists were in Di-
mona "not on inspection matters
but only on a visit.")
Parliament rejected Tuesday an

opposition motion for debate on
visits by U. S. Atomic Energy Com-
mission scientists to Israel's nu-
clear reactor at Dimona after
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol de-
clared there was no inspection and
no control by the United States
over the Dimona reactor.
The premier spoke on the motion
offered by Yohanan Bader of the
Gahal (Herut-Liberal) faction.
Bader asked for discussion . on
American press reports about an-
nual visits of American experts to
the reactor on behalf of the U. S.
Government.
The premier also declared that
the visits by the engineers did not
impair Israel's sovereignty and
that they were made at the invi-
tation of the Israel government.

Israel Defense College
Examined for Existence

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol appointed a
special three-man committee to
examine the question of whether
the continued existence of Israel's
National Defense College is justi-
fied in view of the country's diffi-
cult economic situation.

The committee, which will be
headed by Dr. Yigael Yadin, pro-
fessor of archeology at the Heb-
rew University and former chief
of staff of the Israel Armed
Forces, will also include Prof. Ye-
hoshua Prawer and Yaakov Ar-
non, director general of the fin-
ance ministry.
Protests have been voiced from
various quarters over plans to
close the college which have been
proposed as an economy measure.

Eshkol Urges Israeli Schools Stress Diaspora Role

TEL AVIV (JTA)—Prime Minis-
ter Levi Eshkol called upon Israeli
schools to teach the importance of
close ties between Israel and the
Diaspora.
Addressing the opening session
of the 22nd convention of the
Teachers Union, the premier said
that the schools must implant in
children's minds the realization
that they are a small part of a
large nation.
Education Minister Zalman Ar-
anne, another speaker at the con-
vention, criticized what he termed
"the Soviet Union's 50-year siege
on the spiritual existence of her
millions of Jews." Barring a mir-
acle, Aranne said he feared Soviet
Jewry would be completely cut off
before long from Jewish national
existence.

The occasional reports from Rus-
sia, he said, on the publication of
a Jewish prayerbook or Yiddish
manuscript are nothing more than
"mocking" by a formidable nation
of her helpless Jews.

Australia Welcomes 35,000 Jewish Immigrants

NEW YORK — More than 35,000
Jewish men, women and children,
the majority of whom were assist-
ed by United Hias Service, have
immigrated and resettled in Aus-
tralia since the end of World War
II.
Sydney Einfeld, member of the
Australian Parliament and presi-
dent of both the Federation of Aus-
tralian Jewish Welfare Societies
and the Executive Council of Aus-
tralian Jewry, made this report to
United Hias Service.
For the most part, these new-
comers are refugees and mi-
grants from Eastern Europe,
North Africa and the Middle
East, 'victims of Hitler and the
aftermath of war, Einfeld said.
"They have made a successful
adjustment in Australia with the
aid of the Federation of Aus-
tralian Jewish Societies which
provides temporary housing, jobs
and financial support to help in
their economic and social lute-
gration."

Einfeld, a representative of the
Labor Party in Parliament, point-
ed out that the Australian popula-
tion amounts to 12,000,000, a
growth of 5,000,000 since 1945. The
total Jewish population numbers
about 70,000 with principal commu-
nities in Sydney and Melbourne.
Seventeen synagogues and temples
in Sydney and 22 in Melbourne
minister to Jewish religious needs.
The largest Jewish day school in
Melbourne has more than 1,300
students, he said.
"Australia continues to encour-
age immigration," Einfeld stated,
pointing out that the minister of
immigration declared recently that
the government would continue to
support the Jewish program of
settlement. The Jewish community
in Australia, Einfeld said, wants
very much to receive Jewish im-
migrants.

It is better to go to the house
of mourning than to go to the house
of feasting.—Ecclesiastes vii. 2.
