Nine Years Ago This Month UN
Created Small Nation of Israel
Br ELIAV SIMON
United Press Correspondent
Jerusalem U.R! Nine years
'go this month the United Na
tions carved the nation of Israel
out of Palestine, and Jews the
world over gave thanks that
once again they had a homeland.
The name Israel literally
means "God strives," So far, it
has been an up-hill fight against
often discouraging odds. But the
determined little nation thrives
and grows stronger on adversity.
Some call it morale. Israel's
leaders have found an almost
perfect formula for blending the
pirit of its young people with
the wisdom of its elders.
Others call it the pioneer spir
it. Some 900,000 persons have
treamed into the nation from
11 parts of the world since Is
rael was formed nine years ago
after years and even centuries of
Zionist efforts to provide a na
tional home for the Jewish peo
ple. Another 100,000 are expected
this year, which will swell the
population to about two million
in an area the size of New Jers
ey, although much of it is made
up of barren, rocky hills and
arid, unproductive desert.
Israel's Goal Is Peace
Shalom the Hebrew word for
peace is used throughout the
land for both "hello" and "good
bye." Everyone from top govern
ment officials to the man and
woman trying to make a garden
out of a rocky knoll contend that
peace is their most desired and
elusive goal.
In fact, there has seldom been
a moment of peace in Israel
since it was born May 16, 1948.
Its Arab neighbors observed the
occasion by bombing the land
from the air.
The Arab armies, swelled by
the ranks of Palestine refugees
dispossessed from their home
land closed in on Israel's borders
and threatened full-scale war.
Gradually, the Israelis pushed
the Arabs back, but border
clashes with Syria, Lebanon, Jor
dan and Egypt continue to the
present day.
The Israeli education system
is one of the finest anywhere in
this part of the world, but every
young man and woman in Israel
must serve in the Army, Air
Neuberger Suggests More Time Outdoors
- ; Harper's .Ferry, W. Va. U.R)
Sen. Richard L. Neuberger (D
Ore.) suggested Saturday night
that congressmen follow the ex
ample of President Eisenhower
and spend more time outdoors
... He said congressmen and the
country both would benefit if
congress held some of its ses
sions under the sky in a stadium
or amphitheater during the
spring.
Neuberger said President Ei
' senhower "is outdoors a great
- deal, either on the golf course
or shooting birds."
"Why shouldn't members of
the Senate and House inhale
some pure ozone once in a
while?" he added.
In a talk before a Hiking club
here at the end of a 10-mile
hike, Neuberger said senators
on Capitol Hill live in a kind
of. "a rabbit warren, and even
must go through mole-like corri
dors underground in passing
from building to buildings."
Department Agrees
To Abolish 051
- Washington (U.R) The
Commerce Department has
'agreed at least tentatively
fto abolish its controversial O'-
fice of Strategic Information.
The agency has been under
congressional fire for alleged ef
forts to censor, non-secret in
formation about the govern
ment. Sen. Spessard L. Holland (D
Fla.) and Rep. Dante B. Fascell
(D-Fla.), announced Saturday as
sistant Commerce Secretary
George T. Moore has notified the
Senate he will not ask at this
time for restoration of funds for
OSI eliminated from the Com
merce budget earlier by. the
House.
; Holland is chairman of a Sen-
ate appropriations subcommittee
. handling the Commerce funds.
Fascell is a member of a House
- Freedom of Information sub
committee which has led the at
tack on OSI.
Committee Drafts
Law tor Boating
Washington U.R) The
House Merchant Marine com
mittee Saturday was drafting
for early introduction legisla
tion to tighten safety standards
in the mushrooming pleasure
boat field.
Committee sources said it is
hoped staff members can whip
the proposal into shape to get
it passed at least by the House
before Congress adjourns. Sen
ate action probably will be de
layed until next year.
The legislation grew out of
long committee hearings into
the rapid growth of pleasure
boating since World War II. The
committee took testimony ' of
more than 300 witnesses from
water skiers to operators of
ocean liners on needed revis
ion in the l?-yea-old motor boat
act. With 25 million Americans
annually taking to the water
in one type of craft or another,'
committee - .members concluded
that immediate action is needed
to bring federal and state laws
up to date. ;

Israel Struck Back
Israel's antagonoism with its
Arab neighbors mounted rapidly
when Egypt blocked Elath, its
only port on the Gulf of Aqaba
and in 1950 barred Israeli ship
ping from the Suez Canal.
Last October the little nation
struck back with two lightning
moves into Egypt's Sinai Penin
sula and the Gaza strip.. '
It took considerable pressure
from the United Nations to force
Premier David Ben-Gurion to re
call his efficient little Army, but
by that time Israel had regained
freedom of transit in the disput
ed Aqaba Gulf and had wiped
out strong Egyptian commando
bases in the Gaza strip.
The Israeli government now
lists eight points it seems neces
sary to assure peace in the area.
First, it hopes its representa
tives can sit down at the confer
ence table with representatives
of the Arab states to discuss all
matters about which there are
disputes.
The Israelis say they are will
ing to negotiate minor adjust
ments at its borders as long as
there are no major concessions
of territory.
The nation wants to benefit by
its geopolitical position as the
hub of Middle East communica
tions, permitting the Arabs to
establish land and air communi
cations on the' north-south;, east
west line across Israeli territory
in return for similar concessions
in the Arab nations.
Seeks Cooperation
Government leaders say they
are willing to grant Jordan the
free use of port facilities at Hai
fa on the Mediterranean.
Israel is willing to pay com
pensation to Arab refugees while
ruling out the return of these
persons to their former homes.
To do this,' government officials
say they are willing to accept
the offer of a loan from the
United States.
The country seeks cooperation
with the Arabs on plans for shar
ing the waters of the Jordan and
Yarmuk rivers to irrigate the Ne
gev Desert.
And it is willing to maintain
the present status of the divided
city of Jerusalem, with Jordan
holding the old city and Israel
keeping possession of the mod
ern . city- outside the ; ancient
walls.
"Peace between Israel and her
neighbors is possible on the basis
of equality and mutual benefit,"
Ben-Gurion r e c e n tly stated.
Neither Israel - nor the Arab
states should ' have to ask for
concessions from the other party
for peace because peace is its
own reward."
While pleading for peace on
all sides, Israel continues to dig
in for war. She hopes someday
to be dug so deeply into the Mid
dle East that no one can dislodge
her. ...
No More 'Quickie'
Divorces in Florida
Tallahassee, Fla. ' (U.R)
From now on, it will take twice
as long to get a "quickie" di
vorce in Florida.
Gov. Leroy Collins Fridav
signed into law . his proposal
setting a six-month resident re
quirement before divorce pro
ceedings can be filed in t h
Sunshine state. Under the old
law, only 90 days' residence was
required.
The measure is part -of the
governor's program to end the
state's reputation for handing
out "quickie" divorces. Another
part of the legislation has hit a
snag. -
-. It would .provide a. "cooling
off period before divorces be
come final. The House insists on
a 30-day period and the Senate
refuses to go . along with less
than 60 days.
