NEW YORK (JTA) — Israel’s
Prime Minister Levi Eshkol left
New York Monday aboard a U. S

busy four-day visit during which he
was honored by the City of New
York, by United Nations Secretary-
General U Thant, by Adlai E. Ste

by leading Jewish organizations.
The Eshkol party landed later at

Mr. and Mrs. Eshkol. The Israel
Prime Minister and his wife then
visited the facilities of the Space
Center and later departed aboard a
U. S. Air Force special flight for
Houston, Texas, where they were
given a reception by Mayor Louie

Khrushchev mentioned Israel in con
nection with “imperialist nations”
only once on his visit. Much more
indicative of Russia’s attitude, said
the Israel Prime Minister, was Mr.
Khrushchev’s letter several months
ago to all countries, including Israel,
suggesting that all problems, in
cluding bolder disputes, be resolved
by "peaceful neogotiations.”
While Mr. Eshkol thought it would
be a “good idea” for Soviet Russia
and the United States to include the
Arab-Lsrael dispute in any negoti
ations they might hold toward some
kind of dentente, he said that he was
“not sure if the time is ripe” for
such talks. He revealed, however,
that he had mentioned the possi
bility in his discussions with Presi
dent Johnson.
The Premier said he was “opti
mistic” about the possibilities of an
eventual peace between Israel and
the Arabs. One of the reasons for
his optimism, he explained, was the
high cost of armaments. “It makes
no sense to spend so much money,”
he stated. He expressed the opinion
that maybe some day both the
United States and Russia will real
ize this, too, and will say, “Look,
boys, it's enough. We can’t waste
so much money.”
Another reason, he said, was Nas
ser’s growing problem of raising
his people's standard of living. This
problem, said Mr. Eshkol, will grow

in the coming years as the Egyp
tian population increases, and “may
lead to second thoughts” about
spending so much on armaments.
Mr. Eshkol added that he believes
that there are in the Arab states,
like in Israel, “young students, in-
telligentisia, professors” who al
ready have second thoughts about
this question. “I believe that a peace
camn already exists” in the Arab
countries, he said.
At the same time, Mr. Eshkol
pointed to the fact that Egypt has
more armaments than Israel, includ
ing some which Israel does not have,
like missiles. He said that he dis
cussed several issues with President
Johnson, "including economics and
security,” adding that he thought
the 1963 statement by President Ken
nedy on Middle East aggression
could be stronger and “stated in
greater detail.”
The main subject of his discus
sions with the President, Mr. Eshkol
said, was the desalination of water
project. He said Israel already had
a pilot plant in Eilat which sup
plied drinking water there but that
the aim was to desalinate enough
water for irrigation purposes. The
results of research, he said, would
be given to all nations.
Mr. Eshkol labeled as "sheer non
sense” the Arab charge that Israel
is “expansionist.” What Israel is
doing in the “intensification” of agri
cultural cultivation and the indus
trialization of the country, he said,
does not require additional territory.
He said Israel's aim is to become
a “cultural and medical center.”
This has already been achieved to
a certain extent, Mr. Eshkol indi
cated, pointing to the Israeli version
of the “Peace Corps” which gives
technical assistance to “several
dozen” Asian ami African countries.
He was interviewed by television
commentator Howard K. Smith on
WABC-TV station.
Speaking at a dinner given in his
Itonor last night here by the board
of governors of the Israel Bond Or
ganization, the Israel Prime Minister
declared that Israel’s development
depended on its ability to use cheap
nuclear power for industry. He cited
the industrialization of the country
and the settlement of the Negev and
central Galilee as key factors m the
solution of these problems.
