Johnson has declared here of Israel.
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The long-
sought creation of a strong, unified
labor party in Israel seemed to-
day very close to materializing as
the 300-member central committee
of the Mapi Party approved a
plan for merging Mapai with two
of the other major labor parties in
Israel, Ahdut Avoda and Rafi.
Since the executive bodies of the
latter two parties had already de-
cided to accept the merger plans,
only national conventions by each
of the three parties, scheduled to
be held within a month, remain
before final ratification of the
move.
In view of the fact that the re-
spective leaderships had endorsed
the plans, it was believed certain
that the conventions would do
likewise.
The leadership of Ahdut Avoda,
which has a parliamentary align-
ment now with Mapai, and the
leaders of Rafi voted last week-
end in favor of the merger plans
submitted by Mapi's secretariat.
When the merger goes through,
the unified party will control a
majority of the Knesset member-
ship, with a total of 55 of the
body's 120 seats.

Hebrew Corner
A Winged Enemy
The borders between Israel and the
neighboring Arab states are closed.
But the hosts of locusts wandering from
the deserts of Africa to the Middle
Eastern region do not recognize poli-
tical frontiers.
In ancient days the locust was the
most dangerous enemy of the agri-
culturist in Eretz Israel, more danger-
ous even than drought. The Prophet
Joel painted a terrible picture of the
invasion of locusts, eating the fields
of wheat and of barley, destroying the
leaves and the branches of the fruit
trees, and destroying the pasture grasses.
The hosts of locusts settled on the
groves and fields of the settlements in
the south of Eretz Israel during the
period of the First World War. The
agriculturists could do nothing against
the winged enemy who destroyed all
the fruit of their labors. Like their
Arab neighbors, they tried to drive
away the locusts by beating upon empty
cans.
In this spring, too, small swarms
of locusts entered Israel and settled
in the Arava, between Eilat and
Sodom. But today agriculturists in
Israel have other means for the war
on the locusts: chemical materials
which are scattered by machine and
also by planes.
Nevertheless every year we pray that
the eastern wind that blows In the
spring months, should not bring swarms
of locusts. We wish to gather in the
fruits of our fields in Joy, without
wasting time and effort in war upon
enemy brought in by the wind.
