Ben Gurion Advocates American
Electorial System for Irsael
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Premier
David Ben Gurion, speaking as a
member of Israel’s Parliament,
advocated reforms of Israel’s
electoral system which would pat
tern it after the British and Amer
ican system and which would re
duce the size of the Knesset. He
suggested that the present 120-
member Parliament be reduced to
71, which he held was sufficient
for a small country.
Mr. Ben Gurion called the two
and three. - party systems of the
U. S. and Britain more democratic
and preferanle to the proportion
al representation principle. The
Israeli method, he charged, does
not give the voter access to an
elected deputy and destroys all
sense of national responsibility.
Israel is a small country, poor
and surrounded by enemies and
trying to build a nation of immi
grants from backward countries,
“but instead of creating system
to help unit them and draw them
closer,” Mr. Ben Gurion contin
ued, “we have created a system
which does everything in its pow
er to disrupt, alienate, stupify and
widen the rifts.”
Interior Minister Israel Bar
Yehuda challenged the assertion
that the Anglo-American system
of voting by district and electing
each legislature by a majority
cast directly for him was any
more democratic than proportion
al representation. Itzhak Harari,
of the Centrist Progressive Party,
suggested the establishment of a
second legislature chamber, while
right-wing Herut leader Mena-
hem Beigin called for the insti
tution of referendums on import
ant matters.
2,000 Haifa “Golden
Ager&” Get Gift Trip
HAIFA, (JTA) — Nearly 2,000
of this port city’s “golden agers”
got a practical demonstration of
the affection and esteem in which
they are held here last week,
when they were given a tour of
various parts of the country. The
tour — part of the municipality’s
official “Honor the Aged” pro
gram — visited every conceivable
point of interest by car, bus,
jeep, taxi, boat and railway.
Organized in eight groups, the
oldsters — from 60 to 105 —
were accompanied by police, me
chanics and physicians, to take
care of any emergency that might
arise. The return to Haifa was
marked with an official reception
by Mayor Abba Hushi. A group
of 150 other older people from
Kfar Saba joined the Haifaites
on the trip.

'Teachers’ Group Drops Jordan
From Summer Tours
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
National Education Association’s
Travel service division has drop
ped Jordan from the list of coun
tries visited on NEA-sponsored
tours because of Jordan’s anti-
Jcwisli discrimination. Approval
was meanwhile given for 1957
tours to Syria and Lebanon in
view of assurances of non-dis
crimination against NEA mem
bers.
NEA’s board of directors, how
ever, rejected a proposed resolu
tion demanding that the NEA not
sponsor tours to nations which by
their visa regulations discrimi
nate against NEA members for
reason of religion or race. The
resolution had originally been
brought up before the NEA con
vention held in Portland, Ore.,
last summer. At that time the pro
posal was tabled and referred to
their board of directors.
Even before this, the tour issue
attracted attention when it was
found that NEA members desir
ing to go on a 1956 Middle East
tour which included certain Arab
states were required to furnish a
clergyman’s certification that the
member was not Jewish. ■ The
American Jewish Congress pur
sued the matter with the NEA.
The NEA tour director later
reported that he was given oral
assurances by Syria and Lebanon
that Jewish members of NEA
tours would not be refused visas.
But Jordan refused to give such
assurance.
The entire matter was probed .
by a NEA staff committee. San
ford H. Bolz, Washington Counsel
of the American Jewish Congress,
appeared before the committee.
Subsequently, it was recommend
ed unanimously that a resolution
be adopted affirming that NEA
will not sponsor tours to coun
tries which by their visa policies
discriminate against NEA tour
