Jerusalem Will Always Remain United, Eshkol Says on Anniversary of War
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Prime
Minister Levi Eshkol declared here
Sunday that Jerusalem will always
remain a united city and assailed
the United Nations for having
been silent for 20 years while the
Jewish Quarter of East Jerusalem
was desecrated and destroyed by
Jordanians.
Eshkol spoke at a special ses-
sion of the Jerusalem Municipal
Council marking the first anniver-
sary, according to t h e Hebrew
calendar, of Jerusalem's reunifica-
tion.
While Israelis celebrated the oc-
casion, it was learned that the
government had lodged a strong
protest with Great Britain and
other Security Council members
who voted for the May 20 resolu-
tion demanding that Israel rescind
its measures to unite Jerusalem.
The resolution, adopted by a vote
of 13-0 with the United States and
Canada abstaining, was sponsored
by Pakistan and Senegal.
Foreign Minister Abba Eban
said Israel was particularly dis-
appointed by Britain's vote since
the chief of the British UN dele-
gation, Lord Caradon, had spoken
against the resolution before the
council voted.
The anniversary of Jerusalem's
reunification was an emotional oc ,
casion rather than one of overt
Israeli Envoy Hits BBC
for Broadcasting Wrong
Data on Clash With Arabs
JERUSALEM (JTA) — Israel's
ambassador to Britain, Aharon Re-
mez, has been instructed to lodge
a formal protest with the British
Broadcasting Corp. over the inclu-
sion of an unsubstantiated El Fa-
tah propaganda claim in its world
news broadcasts Sunday.
According to the El Fatah claim,
120 Israeli officers and soldiers
were killed or wounded in an at-
tack on an army camp near Jeri-
cho. Israeli military spokesmen
dismissed the claim as a typical
Arab "pipe dream." But it was
featured on 12 BBC newscasts be-
fore a denial was broadcast.
According to spokesmen here,
the BBC correspondent in Israel
could have easily verified the na-
ture of the El Fatah claim since
the latter gave the exact geo-
graphical position of the alleged
attack. But the BBC man did not
bother to ask the foreign ministry
and waited 10 hours before con-
sulting military authorities about
the authenticity of the El Fatah
story.
As a result, 15 hours elapsed be-
tween the first bulletin and the
denial.
In reality one Israeli soldier
was killed and another wounded
in the close quarters grenade duel
with an El Fatah gang. Three of
the marauders were killed and
three others, apparently wounded,
were dragged back across the Jor-
dan River by their comrades. The
clash, in which an Israel patrol en-
countered at least 10 saboteurs,
capped a weekend of artillery
duels mining incidents and sabot-
age attempts along the Israel-Jor-
dan demarcation line. A military
spokesman announced on Friday
that six El Fatah guerrillas sur-
rendered in the Nablus area after
they encountered an Israeli army
patrol and were encircled by heli-
copters.
A tractor hit a mine at a Nahal
settlement in the Golan Heights
Friday and another mine found
nearby was dismantled. No cas-
ualties were reported. An attempt
to blow up the Israeli military gov-
ernment headquarters at Nablus
was foiled when police discovered
a small parcel of explosives near
the building and detonated it.
Three suspects were arrested. Is-
raeli and Jordanian border forces
exchanged fire several times over
the weekend. No Israeli casualties
were reported.
display. The only official events
were a prayer of thanksgiving re-
cited at the Western (Wailing)
Wall in the presence of some 30,-
000 persons a n d the Municipal
Council meeting.
Mayor Teddy Kollek received
messages of greeting a n d good
wishes from Mayor John V. Lind-
say of New York, Mayor James J.
Tate of Philadelphia and others.
Members of the paratroop bri-
gade that liberated Jefusalem last
June and their families toured the
Old City to visit battle sites and
hold memorials for fallen com-
rades. The soldiers were in mufti
because of the government's deci-
sion to ban all military displays.
But troops in encampments all
over the country held ceremonial
parades to mark the Hebrew cal-
endar anniversary of the Six-Day
War. On a hill overlooking the old
walled city, the Jewish National
Fund dedicated its new "Peace
Forest," symbolic of Jerusalem's
liberation.
Israel-Ghana Trade Pact
Signed in African Capital
Credit Extended to Malawi
ACCRA, Ghana (JTA)—A new
trade agreement signed between
Israel and Ghana here Sunday
calls for the widest possible ex-
change of goods between the two
countries.
The new agreement replaces one
signed in 1958. It was drafted by
Ghanaian authorities and a five-
man Israeli trade mission, headed
by Joseph Katz, controller of for-
eign exchange of the Israeli Fi-
nance Ministry.
Prior to signing the pact, both
sides reviewed economic, agricul-
tural and technological cooperation
between the two countries during
the past 10 years.
One of the major instances of Is-
raeli commercial assistance to
Ghana was the establishment of a
Ghanaian national shipping line,
Black Star Line, Ltd. It was
founded in 1957 in partnership with
Israel's Zim Lines. Black Star,
now the largest shipping enterprise
of any black African nation, be-
came independent in 1960. Z i m
Lines, however, still serves as its
general agents outside of Africa.
Meanwhile, 72 cadets of the Con-
golese army are undergoing para-
troop training in Israel under a
special agreement signed between
the two countries.
It also was announced that Is-
rael will extend credit in the
amount of $1,000,000 to the East
African republic of Malawi to
finance the purchase of Israeli-
manufacturered goods, Minister
of Finance Pinhas Sapir in-
formed the Malawian finance
minister.
The latter is a member of the
party of president Kamuzu Hast-
ings Banda of Malawi, who is on
a state visit to Israel. He is the
first chief of state to visit Israel
since the Six-Day war.
(The National Association of
Students, a Jerusalem group em-
bracing several student organiza-
tions of Africa and other parts of
the world, has petitioned the Israel
government to extend diplomatic
recognition to Biafra, the break•
away eastern province of Nigeria.
The foreign ministry said that it
had not yet received the petition.
Biafra so far has been recognized
by two African countries but none
outside that continent).
116,000 Made Pilgrimage
to Anne Frank's House
LONDON (JTA)—Anne Frank's

teen-age girl whose diary of her
family's ordeal in hiding from the
