Dsraefl Faces id Prohlei
Dn Better Strength Pes!
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.

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.
