through the Straits of Tiran would
constitute an act of war. Speaking
after consultations with leaders of
all parties, and an extraordinary
meeting of the cabinet, the prem- •
ier again appealed to the Western
powers to act to assure that the
Gulf of Aqaba would remain open
to Israeli shipping.
During the premier's talks with
leaders of the political parties, it
was understood, a general agree-
ment was reached on the govern-
ment's policy. Among those attend-
ing the talks were former Premier
Ben-Gurion, Shimon Peres and
Gen. Moshe Dayan. Peres and
Dayan are leaders of Rafi.
Israeli security sources said
that morning that the partial mo-
bilization carried out in the last
few days had provided sufficient
force to meet any possible Egyp-
tian attack. Should additional
measures be necessary, they added,
these would be effected without
delay.
All Israeli units mobilized since
Egypt precipitated the current
crisis by ordering UNEF off its
territory have been placed on full
combat status. Israeli naval units
off Eilat in the Gulf of Aqaba also
had been given emergency instruc-
tions and orders to be ready for
any contingency.
The flash point. observers
agreed. would be reached when the
first ship with Israeli cargo sought
to go through the Tiran Straits.
Eshkol addressed the Knesset at
its opening summer session Mon-
day. He told the hushed house that
he was speaking "with complete
confidence in Israel's defensive
capacity and her steadfastness"
and expressed "readiness at this
hour to participate in efforts to
reinforce stability and advance
peace in our region." Reciprocal
reduction of the troop concentra-
tions, said Eshkol, would constitute
"an endeavor to ensure continua-
l– lion of the quiet that has prevailed
on the Israeli-Egyptian frontier for
the last 10 years, and would be
a concerted international effort to
outlaw terrorism and sabotage
against any member state of the
United Nations."
"If Egypt recalls her reen-

forcements on Israel's frontier,"
he pledged, "Israel will do like-
wise. The purpose of UNEF, ac-
cording to the General Assembly
resolution of 1957, was to con-
tribute to peace in the area. Its
existence in some areas, and the
duties it performed, were doubt-
less a positive factor."
Eshkol told parliament that he

found "perplexing" the "precipit-
ate" action by U Thant ''to conform

r MINI

Eshkol, "was a party to the inter-
national agreements in 1957 for
the establishment of the force be-
tween Egypt and Israel. But the
secretary-general found it unneces-
sary to consult Israel before arriv-
ing at his hasty decision."
"UNEF has been in its positions
in our area for 10 years," he
pointed out. "The demand for its
withdrawal and the response to
that demand signify a weakening
of the United Nation' s role as a
guardian of the peace. The late
secretary-general, Dag Harnmarsk-
jold, wrote Israel in February of
1957 that the secretary-general
would consult with his consulative
committee on UNEF if any de-
mand were made for the with-
drawal of the force, and that the
committee would decide whether
the request should be brought to
the attention of the General As-
sembly. (The consultative commit-
tee is composed of the states that
contributed troops to UNEF. These
were Brazil, Canada, India, Yugo-
slavia, Sweden, Denmark and Nor-
way.)

THANT ATTACKED

"Israel was led to believe that
any such request would only be
acceded to after serious delibera-
tion, during which all sides to the
problem would be heard. But, ac-
cording to Israel's information, Mr.
Thant did not bring this matter
to the attention of the committee
and, thus, to a General Assembly
debate," Eshkol stressed. The pre-
mier urged that the major powers
"should now use their influence
toward reducing the danger of an
explosion in the Middle East."
A rankiing diplomat represent-
ing one of the foremost Western
major powers at the United Na-
tions said: "Since the United Arab
Republic and Israel are among the
principals involved in the current
crisis in the Middle East, it seems
inconceivable that Mr. Thant would
go to Cairo and not, during the
same journey visit Israel — if
Israel invites him to come there."
An Israeli source pointed out that
Thant has for a long time had "a
standing invitation" to visit Israel.
On the eve of the departure
for Cairo, Thant held a 45-minute
meeting with Israel's Ambassador
Gideon Rafael after which Ambas-
sador Rafael said:

"I had this morning a sub-
stantive and lengthy discussion
with the secretary-general before
his departure for Cairo. I brought
to his attention the viewpoint of
the government of Israel on the
crisis caused by the recent Sy-
rian incursions into Israel, the
withdrawal of the United Na-

tions Emergency Force and the
massing of forces on Israel's
borders. I reiterated Israel's de-
sire for the restoration of peace-
ful conditions and for non-bel-
ligerancy and Israel's desire that
no hostile acts be committed. I
also stressed Israel's determina-
tion to exercise its right of self
defense in case of aggression.")

There has been no cessation of
Arab terrorism along Israel's bor-
ders. An Israel army spokesman
said that, last weekend, two charges
of explosives were discovered
under a bridge on the Beersheba-
Arad road. The charges were dif-
fused by the Israeli patrol that
discovered them, and no damage
resulted. Footprints of two men
were found leading to the nearby
Jordanian border.

U. S. Sixth Fleet Not
Expected to Involve
Itself With Aqaba

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

WASHINGTON — The U. S.
Sixth Fleet is "carrying out nor-
mal operation duties" a spokes-

man for the U. S. Navy said in
Naples Wednesday. The fleet is
not expected to become involved
in the Aqaba situation because
ships would have to apply to
Egypt for permission to transit
the Suez Canal.
A dispatch from Halifax, F.S.,
said three Canadian warships
were on standby orders for Near
East should it become necessary
to withdraw the 800 Canadian
soldiers of the UNEF.

Israel Bond Sale of $25 Million
Needed to Keep Economic Stability

The sale of $25,000,000 in State t
Of Israel Bonds between now and
the end of June was set Tuesday
as the goal to provide the resources
that Israel needs for its economic
development in a period of crisis,
with its increase in defense spend-
ing.
Leaders of the State of Israel
Bond drive in 40 communities
throughout the United States, in-
cluding Detroit, participated in a
nationwide telephone conference at
which the goal was set, and at
which they discussed ways and
means of strengthening the Israel
Bond program during the coming
weeks.
The Israel Bond drive seeks a
total of $115,000,000 during 1967
for economic development.

Gathered at meetings from
coast to coast, the Israel Bond

developmen during the present
period of crisis.

"The Government of Israel has
addressed an urgent appeal to us,"
Dr. Schwartz said. "It has appeal-
ed to us to hold the economic
front, to increase the flow of cash
so that the economy will not stif-
fer in this period of crisis, so that
the program of development will
not be interrupted, so that the

drive to increase industrial ex-
pansion will not be slowed down."

Rothberg called for intensified
participation in the Israel Bond-
drive as a demonstration of sup-

port' for the State of Israel. He

emphasized that the purchase of
Israel Bonds constitutes a clearcut
indication that the purchaser
stands by Israel and seeks to aid

its continued economic develop-
ment.

leaders heard addresses by Dr.
Joseph J. Schwartz, vice presi-
dent, and Samuel Rothberg, na-

the Israel Bond Organization. In
their talks, heard by telephone
hook-up from Israel Bond head-
quarters in New York, Dr.
Schwartz and Rothberg stressed
the importance of maintaining
the peace of Israel's economic
