of Hitler Line, Israeli Charges in UN

UNITED NATIONS (JTA)—Is-
rael and Iraq clashed in the UN
General Assembly Saturday over
the Iraqi executions of Jews and
others whom it accused of spying
for Israel and the United States.
The clash was precipitated by-
the Iraqi representative, Ambas-
sador Adnan Raouf, who replied
to Israeli Ambassador Abba Eb-
an's condemnation of the execu-
tions in a speech to the assembly
Friday.
Raouf said it was not surpris-
ing that Israel disowned the
"spies" and predicted that some
day streets would be named after
them in Tel Aviv. He said Eban
"does not only aim at exonerating
his government from any responsi-
bility but he also. . . attempts to
give validity to his assumption
that Jews by virtue of being Jews
must be above and beyond the due
process of law."

Shabtai Rosenne, replying for
Israel. said Iraq claimed that its
spy trials and public hangings
were a domestic matter for Iraq.
"That is the same argument we
were hearing 30 and 35 years
ago from Hitler and Goebbels,
and from the other practitioners
of racial discrimination and
hatred which the UN is pledged
to eradicate."

The Rips affair was brought to
light by eye-witness accounts that
reached Western countries last
spring. The accounts said that
Rips drenched himself with kero-
sene in a Riga square and de-
nounced Soviet repression of Jews
and denial of their right to emi-
grate.
The witnesses said he was caught
by passing Soviet sailors who ex-
tinguished the fire and then beat
him. Shortly afterwards, he was
hustled away by secret police. He
has been held incommunicado ever
since.

200,000 New Voters Hold
Sway Over Ballot Box

TEL AVIV (ZINS) — Among the
1,750,000 expected to vote in the
forthcoming Knesset elections, 1
there are 200,000 newly eligible
voters.
These new voters are in a posi-
tion to control 20 (out of 120) seats
in the parliament, and they could
conceivably transfer control from
one party to another.
This new factor has created
anxiety among many incumbents
from various parties who fear they
may not be re-elected. These new
voters are not, apparently, tied to
any of the existing parties, and
their political views an unknown
quantity. Three out of four come
from so-called "Eastern" commu-
nities. They do not attend party
rallies and have no common lan-
guage with the established leaders
of the state. They demonstrate re-
spect for only two personalities:
Moshe Dayan and Yigal Alcoa.
