Ben-Gurion Claims in His Memoirs He Urged 1948 West Bank Occupation TEL AVIV — Former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion dis- closed, in memoirs to be published here shortly, that 20 years ago he proposed Israeli occupation of L.A. Jewish Hospital Joins Plans for Pool of Transplant Organs the West Bank of the Jordan be- cause of repeated Arab truce vio- lations, but was overruled by his cabinet. The Israeli leader also told how as early as 1945 he went to the United States and enlisted the sup- port of 20 Amer- ican Jews who pledged $1,000- 000 to purchase arms for the Jews of Pales- tine to fight the n e i g h b o r- ing states. Ben - Gurion's memoirs will be published in al- bum form by the Ben-Gurion newspaper Maariv in connection with the 20th anniversary of Israel's independence. Ben-Gurion wrote that in 1948 he believed that Arab violations of the truce justified Israeli counter-action. After the Arabs blew up the water pumping station at Latrun, cutting off Jerusalem's water sup- ply and after the Egyptians pre- vented supply vehicles from reach- ing isolated settlements in the Negev, he asked the general staff how much time was needed to capture Latrun, eliminate the LOS ANGELES (JTA) — The Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has joined with six other Los Angeles hospitals to form the Los Angeles Transplant Society, which will establish the world's first pool of organs for transplant. A live donor program for kidney transplants has been underway at the Jewish-sponsored hospital for 11- than two years.

The general staff said they needed a week or two to organize the operation, Ben-Gurion wrote. He submitted the proposal to the provisional cabinet but was able to get support of only three minis- ters. Ben-Gurion said he decided to liberate the Negev but got cabinet approval before submitting the plan. He ordered the army into action and "The Egyptian force in Palestine was smashed." Ben-Gurion contended in his memoirs that Israel's first foreign minister, the late Moshe Sharett, had been influenced by warnings from U.S. Secretary of State Mar- shall that the Arab armies would destroy the Jewish state and en- tertained grave doubts about pro- claiming Israel's independence. According to Ben-Gurion, Israel Galilee, then chief of Hagana and today minister of information in the Eshkol government, had been "psychologically unprepared for the transition from fighting Arab brigands to facing the Arab reg- ular armies. Ben-Gurion said he flew to the United States in August 1945, and convened a meeting of 20 "trusted American Jews" whom he told that the Jews of Palestine must pre- pare for war to be waged by all of Palestine's Arab neighbors. About $1,000,000 was pledged at the meeting, he said. Surplus arms manufacturing equipment was bought and shipped to Pales- tine. Most of the heavy weapons, including fighter aircraft, tanks, cannon, machine guns and rifles were bought in Czechoslovakia and some artillery was clandestinely sold to the Jews by France, Ben- Gurion said. latest fashions in jewelry ...
