The Tenth Man
Alpert
HAIFA— When the insurgent
Itafi party voted last year to
merge into the Israel Labor
Party, nine of its members in
the Knesseth took
their places
the new group- j
fhg. The tenth;
man stubbornly||
refused to aban-P
don Kafi and)
remained alonej
T e chnically, iljj
seems, he has
i n h e r ited thel
party and cer-l
tain political andl
financial advan
tages which go
with it. The man is David Ben-
Gurion.
When elections are held next
fall Ben-Gurion will be 83. He
has not yet decided whether he
will stand for re-election, but if
he does it will be as a one-man
candidate, he says, unconnected
with any other parties.
That he is still actively inter
ested in politics is obvious from
his frequent public appearances.
He is interviewed on radio pro
grams. He lectures at forums. He
receives press correspondents.
And of course Ben-Gurion always
has striking ideas which com
mand attention.
In recent appearances he con
tinues to emphasize his principal
contention: that in the long run
Israel's security depends on im
migration. Constantly he warns
that even without war we can
be overwhelmed by a growing
Arab population unless our num
bers increase.
He has strong views regarding
the treatment of captured ter
rorists. Since their avowed pur
pose is genocide, they should be
given the punishment provided
by Israel law for this crime—
the death penalty. A few execu
tions, he feels, will discourage
some of the rash young Arabs
who are willing to risk imprison
ment for the sake of being heroes.
Asked by a reporter from the
daily Hayom what he thought of
Abba Eban, -Ben-Gurion replied:
“Eban is highly gifted if given
explicit instructions. I would not
rely on him to establish policy.
There is no one like him to exe
cute policy. He has the power
of persuasion.”
With respect to Levi Eshkol,
B. G. has strong, sometimes un
printable views: Eshkol must go.
He is not fit to govern the coun
try. Israel must have a govern
ment that leads. It must be a
government worthy of the nation.
He is notoriously stubborn, but
does not make a fetish of con
sistency. Long a bitter and out
spoken critic of the Revisionist-

He rut movement, he came out
almost half a year before .the
Six-Day War in favor of taking
Herut into the Cabinet. Today
he is on friendly terms with his
erstwhile opponent, Menahem
Begin.
He is still in the central stream
of public life. He retains a wide
following, and despite his in
dividualistic tendencies, has enor
mous influence. Yet he feels his
immediate responsibility is as
historian and chronicler. He has
just finished two histories, one
the story of the Jewish people,
and the other a history of the
State. He is busily working on
his memoirs, and looks forward
to many more fruitful years of
creative writing.
In the meantime he has co

Bill Moves to Aid
Vandalized Churches
And Institutions
ALBANY (JTA)—A bill that
would make provision for finan
cial assistance to religious insti
tutions damaged by vandalism or
destroyed by arsonists has been
introduced in the New York State
Legislature by Assemblyman Ste
phen Solarz, a Brooklyn Demo
crat.
Mr. Solarz said his measure
would create a million dollar, in
terest-free loan fund from which
tax exempt institutions, including
houses of worship, oould borrow
and repay over 10 years at the
rate of 10 percent each year.
The legislator said his bill was
prompted by the recent rash of
synagogue burnings and acts of
vandalism against religious insti
tutions which resulted in prop
erty losses in the millions of dol
lars. He said he also supported
efforts to make certain that per
sons convicted of vandalism or
arson against religious institutions
“will be punished to the full ex
tent of the law.”
since his wife died last year.
Paula used to shield him from
pneces sary intrusions and
watched over his health. Secret
Service men still keep a close
eye on him.
Active, mentally alert, physi
cally fjt, Ben-Gurion belies his
82 years. In the crucial months
ahead he will speak up on issues
and problems of the day, usually
with an unorthodox approach.
More, much more
heard from him.
