By ELIAV SIMON Jerusalem -(UPD- As Israel - inters 1959 and embarks on her second decade of state . hood she faces the same prob lems which have plagued her since 1948. But she faces them from a stronger position than ever before. Ever since the Iraqi revolu tion in July, the unrest in Lebanon and the threat of unrest in Jordan, both the U.S. and Britain have come to acknowledge Israel as a pillar of democracy and sta ' bility in a region of the world where neither of these ele ments has ever flourished. Reinforced by the long standing friendship of France, this moral backing has given Israelis . more confidence to meet the hazards ahead than anything else that has oc ;-curred during the past year. Britain's sale to Israel of two submarines late in 1958 was as much a symbol of this new- .found sympathy as a much needed addition to the coun try's defensive strength. Election Highlight One of the highlights of 1959 will be the feverish cam paign preceding the general elections for the Knesset (parliament), scheduled for next fall. It's most probable that the Mapai, Premier David Ben- Gurion's Moderate Labor Party - will top the poll as it has in the last three elections. But it also highly probable that the Mapai will not have a sufficient majority to form a one - party government, and another coalition will take jffice. For the past few years, Israel has always had a coali tion government of varying composition, but always with , the Mapai holding the whip hand and the main ministries. Ben - Gurion, fitter and sprightlier than ever despite his 72 years, is seen retaining the premiership after the elec tions, but one or two men who have made their mark in other sphere may well step into the political arena. Headed for Office Former army chief of staff Moshe Dayan, who led the 1956 Sinai campaign, then resigned his army post and finally this year quit the army altogether, seems headed for political office as one of the Mapai's rising young men. He is 43. Another likely candidate is Shimon Peres, present direc tor general at the Ministry of Defense, who has played a big part m insuring the effi ciency of Israel's forces and supplying them with the nec essary weapons and equip ment. Third most likely candi- INDICATING possible change in Soviet policy. Gen eral Ivan Serov has been removed as head of Soviet secret police. Court Records MUNICIPAL.

Most houses are built out of coral limestone in the Car ibbean Island of Barbados, where there is no timber Moist when taken from the quarry, the stone can be saw ed like wood and hardens when it dries. date for government office -or at least for a Knesset seat - is present United Nations delegate Abba Eban. For the rest, 1959 is likely to be a year of economic con solidation, during which the country will have to cope with the problem of settling a big new wave of immigrants from Romania, Poland and other parts of eastern. Europe. This undoubtedly will en tail a tough economic struggle and underlines Israel's need for peace and tranquility in the Middle East. Was Quiet Year , Militarily, 1958 was a quiet year. The view here is that this is probably because Israel's neighbors were tak ing time out to indulge their own private squabbles. But death did strike across Israel's frontiers. In May, Lt. Col. George Flint, a Canadian officer at tached to the U.N. truce sup ervision team in Jerusalem, was killed, together with four Israeli policemen, in a flare- up on Mount Scopus. Up north, where Lake Hu- leh was wiped off the map early in the year as a result of a big reclamation and drainage project, Syrian snip ers, and, on several occasions, artillery as well, held up work on the newly-redeemed land, causing several deaths and damage to local settlements. As if to remind Israelis that i security does not only mean watching the borders, 66 Arab marauders, spies and Fed- ayeen escaped from their pris on camp at Shatta in northern Israel in July and fled over the frontier into Jordan. But not before two guards and 1.1 prisoners had been killed. The theme of the entire year was the 10th anniver sary of the State of Israel, which helped attract a record number of some 70,000 visi tors and tourists during the 12-month period. Highlight of the celebra tions was a big parade in Jerusalem on Independence Day in April. It was attended by President Ben Zvi, Pre mier Ben-Gurion, and guests from "all parts of the world, including ex - president Vin cent Auriol of France. Another boon to Israeli pride was the purchase by its national airline company, El Al, of the first of its Bristol Britannia Turboprop planes. These not only helped boost thef lood of tourists to Israel, but for a few weeks gave El Al the blue ribbon for the fastest trans - Atlantic crossings. "Bay... BR. k - .
