In Tel Aviv, Minister With-

in a rally at Tel Aviv Univer-

put an end to the hangings. He
said Israel was grateful to the
countries that have agreed to
receive Jewish refugees from
Iraq.
In London, Terence Prittie,
correspondent of the Guardian,

ment was believed to be con-
templating fresh punitive meas-

community in Iraq which he
described as "already shocking-

The new measures, he said,

Recent events have had their

Israel, according to reports in the
Lebanese press. Jews in increas-
ing numbers are seeking to leave
that country, according to the
papers, resulting in economic dis-
location although the emigrants
are not permitted to take much
property with them.
The editorial said "The world
will never be convinced that jus-
tice was done in secret trials, and
the whole history of the Middle
East agony shows that political
executions in such circumstances
only breed savage retribution.
Certainly, the Iraqis brought only
dishonor on themselve by making
a monstrous public spectacle of
the hanging on similar charges
of 14 persons in January and
seven more last month.
Most of the 3,000 Lebanese Jews
are engaged in trade and they
are relatively pr,psperous, but the
continuing Middll East crisis, the
terrorist activities and the hang-
ings in Iraq have convinced many
Lebanese Jews that they would
be safer elsewhere.

editorial Tuesday that "Everyone

Iraq is concerned, the interests
of all parties would be well

charged that the Iraqi Jewish com-
munity was the victim of persecu-

Afnan, the Iraqi representative,
accused Israel of responsibility
for the hangings and said Jeru-
salem was trying to exploit them
for propaganda purposes.
Dayan's Brother-in-Law Hurt in Blast
Mrs. Rita Hauser, United
States representative, was the
only delegate who called atten-

rights in any Middle East coun-
try apart from Israel when she
deplored the hangings in Iraq.
Gen. Moshe Dayan visits his brother-in-law Israel Gefen, who
was wounded in the Feb. 21 supermarket bombing and was admit-
