Eshkol Defends
Israel Accused by State Dept. Officials Military Governor
Hebron Case
of Refusing to Make Liberty Payments in JERUSALEM
(JTA) — Prime
WASHINGTON (JTA) — State
Department officials have alleged
that differences have arisen be-
tween the United States and Israel
over payment - for damages to the
U.S. communications ship Liberty
which was attacked in error by
Israeli jets off the Sinai coast dur-
ing the Six-Day War.
The allegation was made at a
background briefing for domestic
news media at which the officials
were critical of Israel on matters
unrelated to the Liberty episode
and at which they reportedly call-
ed on the American press for
"more balanced" reporting on Is-
rael. The briefing was held on the
eve of Democratic national plat-
form hearings.
The officials contended that Is-
rael was seeking to avoid payment
of a $7,000,000 claim for damages
to the Liberty. They said Israel
was willing to pay $2,000,000 for
damages to the ship plus additional
compensation for the 160 crewmen
injured in the attack. Israel paid
$3,300,000 last May to the families
of the 34 crewmen killed aboard
the Liberty.

.(In Jerusalem Aug. 17, a for-
eign ministry spokesman said
that the United States had not
yet submitted a claim to Israel
for indemnification of the 160
wounded crewmen and express-
ed "surprise" that the State De-
partment officials had accused
Israel of refusing to pay for
material damages sustained by
the ship.
(He noted that negotiations were
in progress over the U.S. damages
claim and that Israel had already
paid compensation to the families
of the deceased. He also observed
that several Congressmen had
questioned whether Israel was ob-
ligated to pay any damages in
view of the fact that the Liberty
was in the Sinai war zone on June
8 only because a U.S. Navy com-
munications mixup prevented her
from receiving Pentagon orders to
move out. That aspect of the case
was brought to light last month in
testimony before a House defense
appropriations subcommittee.)
At the briefing here, State De-
partment officials criticized Israel
for failing to sign the nuclear non-
proliferation treaty, for its alleged-
ly rigid stand on negotiations with
the Arabs and for a "trigger-
happy" policy of reprisals.

Minister. Eshkol defended the West
Bank military governor's expulsion
order against three Orthodox Jews
who refused to tear down a kosher
food stand they had built in the
West Bank town of Hebron in vio-
lation of local ordinances.
Eshkol told the Knesset that the
order had been issued by the mili-
tary governor after it was ap-
proved by him and by Defense
Minister Gen. Moshe Dayan. Exe-
cution of the order was deferred
by the cabinet twice. The Knesset
adjourned Aug. 14 for summer re-
cess, which will end Oct. 21.
Eshkol's reference to the Hebron
matter was made in reply to
agenda motions p!r e s e n t e d by
Gahal (Herut-Liberal alignment),
National Religious Party, Free
Center and the Haolam Hazeh fac-
tions whose members claimed that
the punishment was too harsh.
The prime minister said that the
order was motivated not only by
the violation but because the three
accused had flouted the military
governor's authority.
He said that the Hebron settlers,
numbering about 80, had entered
the town by "trickery" after
promising that they only wanted to
visit there over the last Passover
holiday.
Afterwards, they refused to
leave and were permitted to re-
main on condition that they
obeyed the military governor's
orders, Eshkol said. Those orders
stipulated that they remain with-
in the military government com-
pound. But the kiosk was built
in an area restricted to them
and they also failed to secure
the required permit. Under a
cabinet ruling, the establishment
of any trade or business in
Hebrott is considered a political
..act and requires official per-
mission.
The kiosk was demolished by
Israeli soldiers. The Knesset re-
ferred the matter to its foreign
affairs and ,security committee at
Eshkol's request.
While the expulsion order against
the three has been deferred pend-
ing another cabinet session, the
80 Orthodox Jews decided to Bend
a formal apology to Eshkol for
disobeying the military governor's
orders.
The order revoking the residence
permits of the three men got the
support of Knesset Foreign Affairs
and Security Committee. But the
settlers, in their letter of apology,
were said to be making new de-
mands on the government. Among
them was a call for the settlement
of more Jews in Hebron, the con-
struction of a yeshiva there and
a speed-up in the housing allegedly
promised them.
Hebron, which had been without
a Jewish community since the
Arab riots in Palestine in 1936, is
the site of the patriarchs' tombs
and is consderd holy by Orthodox
Jews.
Tel Aviv to Name Streets
for Brazilians, Israelis
TEL AVIV (JTA) — The Tel
Aviv municipality has decided to
name a street here in honor of the
late Dr. Oswaldo Arana of Brazil,
who was president of the United
Nations General Assembly on Nov.
29, 1947, when the world body
voted to establish a Jewish state
in Palestine.
Local streets will also be named
in honor of the late Moshe Shar-
ett, Israel's first foreign minister
and later prime minister, and the
late Rabbi Yehuda Leib Maimon
who was the first minister for re-
ligious affairs.
