According to informed sources, Mrs. Meir was obviously stung by criticism of the way she han• dled the so-called Goldmann Af- fair and has already questioned Dr. Goldmann's loyalty to Zion• ism and Israel. She told a group of Labor Party leaders from the Negev that judged by his article in Foreign Affairs, Dr. Goldmann represents "the very antithesis of Zionism." In an address to the opening session of the Israel Writers As- sociation conference, Mrs. Nfeir drew a pointed contrast between those "who consider every inch of land dear" and others who are "indifferent to giving up a piece of land here and a piece there like cutting paper."

Dr. Goldmatm referred to De- fense Minister Moshe Dayan as "the greatest personality in Israel" today. adding "You can discuss with him and disagree with him and yet remain a friend." Gen. Dayan was mentioned fre , quently during Israel's election ' campaign last year as a possible rival to Sirs. Nfeir for the premier- ship. Dr. Goldmann, in a statement I to the press said he did not want 1 to discuss Monism with Mrs. Meir because, "With all due respect she has to allow me not to consider her an authority on Zionist ideology. Her qualifica- tions are minimal." He act-used the premier of stating "half truths" in her version of his plans to go to Cairo. He said he never asked to be made a special envoy of Israel for the purpose and added that he had hoped the episode would be closed. - I am convinced that the prime minister has more important problems than to prolong this," he said. Mrs. Meir also was critical of the publicity given abroad to a group of six Israeli liberal intellectuals who expressed views similar to Dr. Goldmann•s in an interview pub- lished by Newsweek magazine. - The intellectual section should become an integral part of the whole nation." she told the Writers Association. Just before the interviews ap- peared. Foreign Minister Abba Eban rebuked Newsweek's senior editor, Arnaud de Borchgrave, and the magazine's Israeli correspond- ent and demanded space in News- week to answer the six. The mag- azine replied that Eban, like any- one else, could write a letter to THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS. 1, 1970 New Split Emerges in Cabinet Over Issue of Permanent Jewish Settlement in Hebron POTTER MOVING & STORAGE CO.
