Elevate Legations
to Embassy Rank

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Romania
and Israel have agreed to raise

their respective legations to the
rank of embassy. The first Israeli

ambassador to Romania, Rafael
Ben Shalom, left here last week.
Romania is the only Communist-
bloc country that did not sever
diplomatic relations with Israel
after the June 1967 war. Trade
between the two nations has grown
considerably since then. Foreign
Minister Abba Eban expressed
satisfaction with the pending am-
bassadorial exchange which was
agreed to a month ago. He said
this development reflected the
friendly relations existing between
Israel and Romania.

Court Backs Govt. Ban
on Book About Eichmann

JERUSALEM (JTA)—The High
Court of Justice Monday rejected
an action brought against the gov-
ernment by the former head of Is-
rael's secret service, the "Shin
Beth", for barring him from pub-
lishing a book on the capture of
Adolf Eichmann.
The book was written by Isser
Hare who was in charge of opera-
tion that led to the apprehension of
the Gestapo deportation chief. The
court decided that the book should
not be published but did not dis-
close the details of its ruling.
