v^w Seventeen years ago, on this very day, the world witnessed the miracle.of our age. Out of the crematoria of Buchenwald, out of the gas chambers, of Auschwitz, out of the agony of a tortured and almost annihilated people, the State of Israel came into being. Throughout the 17 years of its existence, the Stale has demonstrated its vitality and has justified its establishment. It has taken into its midst more than a million Jews, fleeing from oppression, haired and persecution. Its gates are still open to all Jews who need a home and a haven. It has brought to the world a new concept of human dignity and has become a model and a pattern for emerging nations to follow. It has given the Jews throughout the world a new dimension, a new stature, and the world itself sees in Israel a dynamic society, built along the lines of social justice and human aspirations. Omaha Jewry bad its share in the restoration of Israel, and its absorption of more than a million refugees. Through our help, given generously over the years to the United Jewish Appeal, those who were disenfranchised yesterday became free men in their own state. Right now, Omaha is in the midst of the United Jewish Appeal Campaign, to raise funds which are of supreme importance to some G0,000 Jews who will enter Israel this year. This is an hour of grave danger and decision for Israel. The support and strength of every Jew in Omaha is urgently needed to help the state and its 2,500,000 Jews survive. We, of the Jewish Community of Omaha, salute the State of Israel, and express our resolution that in the 19G5 Jewish Philanthropies Campaign, under the leadership of Leo Eisenstatt, Omaha Jewry will once again demonstrate its faith in Israel and its future. Milton It. Abrahams, President Jewish Federation of Omaha
As the State of Israel enters upon the eighteenth year of its new life, its Government sends greetings to Jewry throughout the world. May the eighteenth year of Independence be one of life for the nation, one of consolation, of aliya and of construction, Security of Israel The second decade of the revival of the State is approaching its end; we should direct our gaze towards what lies beyond it. Again, it will be our duty, first r i and foremost, to ensure the security of the State, the wellb e i n g of its inhabitants, the integrity of its frontiers and waters, the protection of its standing among the nations. By virtue of the self-defensive strength of the State, its economic and spiritual resources, with the aid of its mighty partnership with the people of Israel everywhere and with friendly countries in all parts of the world, wo shall guarantee the continuing realization of the vision of the Ingathering of the Exiles, the homecoming of brethren and the development of the Land. We will lift our eyes to all the great Jewish communities on earth and call upon them to . , „ , , • Lcvi identify themselves in actuality, EsliUol by settlement in Israel, with the strengthening of our historic and self-rer.svving Homeland. We will extend our help to them, as far as our capacity allows, to invigorate their own independent and national lives in an attachment to the people of Israel in its Land, to the Hebrew tongue, and to-the cultural and social values of a nation that has won back its independence.' Soviet Jewry Chief among our thoughts on this Day of Independence will be the great Jewish community in the Soviet Union. Its severance from the body of Jewry and from the current of its national creativity rends the heart of every one of us. We shall ask and hope that the Soviet Union make it possible for the masses of the House of Israel within its bounds to join in the upbuilding of the future of the Jewish people in its Homeland and to live full Jewish lives in nearest touch with all the other congregations of Israel, Our covenant with the entire Jewish people is today, as it always was, the very basis and foundation of our; reconstruction. Let us pray that the coming years shall be years of strengthening of that covenant, year3 of its supreme and complete expressionmass aliya to Israeli All my blessings go out to you! Lev! Eslikol, I'rinie Minister State ot Israel Israel Independence Day IOCS

Trie It came on May 14, 1940. In the small auditorium of the Tel Aviv Museum, the leaders of the Jews of Palestine solemnly proclaimed the independence of reborn Israel. Flanked by the members of the Provisional Government of the State, Ben Gurion, the man who was to become Prime Minister, read the "Proclamation of the Rise of the State of Israel." Many wept, remembering the 20 centuries long road of homelessness the Jewish people had traversed. Appropriately, the ceremony concluded with the pronouncement of the traditional blessing: "Blessed art Thou O Lord our God, King of the Universe, who has kept us in life, and preserved us and enabled us to reach this time "
—Jewish Agency Phofo.
David Ben Gurion, with Moslic Sharrctt al his side, signs the document proclaiming Israel's independence.
The celebration of Independence Day in the State of Israel must necessarily bring reflected pride to every Jew in the world. It is impossible to express to what degree the independent existance of Israel reflects the age old pray-, ers and hope of the Jewish people. In our time, the greatest blessing we can ^ask for our brethern in Israel as indeed for the entire world, is the blessing of p e a c e , for we know that only in a setting of security can men reach the fullest potential of their creativity. Our community joins hearts with our'fellow Jews everywhere in saluting the State of Israel on the 17th anniversary of its independence, and expressing the hope that from out of Zion may come the example of justice and peace that will be a light to the world. Rabbi Sidney II. Brooks, President Synagogue Council of Omaha

A Background Report Arab voices are both praising and blaming Tunisian President Bourguiba for proposing n negotiated end to the 17 year Arab-Jewish deadlock in Palestine. Mr. Bourguiba's Arabworld critics argue that the Bourguiba plan constitutes de facto "recognition" of the Jewish state, something most Arab leaders bitterly oppose. The Tunisian President's supporters reply that all Mr. Bourguiba wishes to do is revive constructive world discussion of an issue that has not progressed for 17 years. Israel Comments Israeli Deputy Premier Abba Eban rejected Mr, Bourguiba's proposal as an attempt to put together an egg broken 18 years ago. The Bourguiba Plan The Bourguiba plan which is splitting the Arab world and at the same time placing Israel in a difficult position to accept "peaceful negotiations" is this: Bourguiba proposes a return to the United Nations' 1047 partition plan. Israel would have to give up about a third of its territory to a Palestine Arab state and accept the "return" of tha Arab refugees. V. N. Portltlon The United Nations partition (Continued on Page 4.)

'Good Faith1 of American Jewish Community Basis for $5QfQQ0,00Q Jewish Agency Loan NEW YORK (JTA) — Eleven American life insurance companies have signed a loan agreement with the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc., providing longterm loans totaling $50,000,000 with the good faith and credit of the American Jewish community, as represented by the United Jewish Appeal, as collateral. The United Jewish Appeal is the single guarantor in this unique financial transaction. The loan is to be repaid in semiannual installments designed to fully amortize this loan in 15 years. Representatives of each of the 11 life companies were on hand for the signing ceremonies along with Max M. Fisher, general chairman of the United Jewish Appeal: Mr. Fisher indicated that the
Justice Goldberg Declared Zionist WASHINGTON (JTA I — Associate Justice Arthur J. Goldberg, of the U.S. Supreme Court, procZaimed that he is a Zionist, called on Americans not to "feel restrained'1 in their support for Israel, and urged the U.S. Government to implement pledges to safeguard Israel's security by helping redress the arms balance. Iirandeis and Franfurlcr Justice Goldberg, speaking at a dinner meeting of the sixth annual Policy Conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, reaffirmed his Zionism and likened it to that of two of his predecessors, the late Justices Brandeis and Frankfurter. He said he did not understand "the reasoning of those who question the support which Americans and other free peoples, both Jewish and non-Jewish, extend to Israel and its people." This was received with applause by delegates who saw it as an answer to anti Zionist elements. He said he was a Zionist because of his loyalty "to the spiritual heritage of the Jewish people." He quoted Justice Brandeis' statement that "there is no inconsistency between loyalty to America and loyalty to Jewry." He also recalled, that Brandeis asserted that "every American Jew who aids in advancing Jewish settlement in Palestine will likewise be a better man and a better American for doing so."

The balance will be used by the Jewish Agency lor Israel, Inc., for its current budgetary purposes. He pointed out that this will free $4,000,000 per year for the immediate work of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc. Spirit of Philanthropy P. Stokes Gaither. vice-president of New England Mutual Life Insurance Company, and spokesman for the lenders, commented: "This loan is remarkable in that it has been structured upon the established spirit of philanthropy anci the integrity of the Jewish people in America. The guarantor of the loan is the United Jewish Appeal, which is just another way of saying" that some of the most respected spokesmen of the American Jewish community are pledging that this loan will be honored." Dr. Dt-wey D. Slone, chairman of the Jewish Agency for Israel said: "The loan will make it possible for the Jewish Agency for Israel, Inc.. and the United Jewish Appeal to eliminate the periodic renegotiation of short-

term loans by refunding the obligations incurred by the American Jewish community on belialf of the rehabilitation and resettlement programs in Israel." Milestone Mr. Fisher stated: "This unprecedented agreement is a milestone in the history of Jewish philanthropy and probably in Hie history of all philanthropy. Its uniqueness can be focused in proper perspective when you consider that this sizeable amount of money reflects on the financial and moral credit of the American Jewish comwuiily in terms of their record of philanthropic giving." Whilr- this is the first timo that American life insurance companies have loaned money to the Jewish Agency directly on the good faith and credit of (lie American Jewish comlmunity, seven of the companies involved in this new $50,000,000 loan have over the past few years made available $27,000,000 in long-term loans for construction of housing in Israel.

1OH Brings • Washington (JTA>—Tlw Soviet Union, through its embassy in Washington made known that a strong protest has been made to the United States Government against "attempts to interfere in the d o m e s t i c affairs of the USSR" by State Department end o r s e m e n t o f Sen Ribicoff's resolution condemning S o v i e t anti-Semitism. The protest was made orally at the State Department by Alexander I. Zinchtik, Counselor of the Russian Embassy. He called on Richard H. Davis, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European Affairs. 'NO RIGHT' Mr. Zinchuk indicated to Mr. Davis that the Soviet Government resented what it considered unfounded allegations involving the Jewish situation in Russia and felt that the State Department violated diplomatic protocol by seeking to intervene in domestic Russian issues pertaining to Soviet citizens. He. contended that the State Department h'id no more right to urge passage of a resolution telling Russia what cultural facilities to provide to Jews than the Soviet Foreign Ministry would have in intervening directly in the American Negro question in Alabama. RIGHT TIME The S t a t e Department two weeks ago maintained that it had changed its position on the Ribi-
Teaeliing of Zionism 'Taboo' in Hungary London iJTA)—Despite some difficulties, the Jews of Hungary have managed to keep the communal organization intact. Col. Marcus Lipton, a Labor Member of Parliament who recently visited Hungary, reported to a Poale Zion meeting here. Col. Lipton who visited Hungary as a member of the British delegation to a meeting of inter' parliamentary Union, said "that" the synagogue in Budapest was used .and that the Government _ placed no obstacle in the way of religious observances. He also reported that the Jewish community has institutions in which students were trained for the rabbinate and that Jewish community leaders were allowed to visit Western countries. He explained that because the Hungarian G o v e r n m e n t has made Zionism taboo, Jewish reJigioiis teachers had difficulties in teaching religion io their pupils without mentioning Zionism or Israel. He added that the Government still allows a good many Jewish one-man businesses to continue. Col. Lipton also expressed the opinion that if Hungarian Jews were allowed to emigrate, many would leave and settle in Israel.
coff resolution from one of opposition to support. At the same time the Department said the time was now regarded as more opportune. Senate sources, however, laUr commented that last year the Department intervened to kill the resolution at a time when Soviet-American relations were better and Moscow was more responsive to American public opinion. Today, they said American-Soviet relations have deteriorated to the point that the Department does not care if the Kremlin is offended.

Under the Israeli law every Jew has the right to settle in Israel. Do you think (hat since Israel is the homeland of (he Jewish people that only Jtws be allowed lo live there?

Israel Independence Day Issues On April 27 two new stamps were issued by the State of Israel. The first is an addition to the series of Independence Day issues which was started in 1950. To honor the 17th Anniversary of Independence, the State of Israel depicts a 20th cen- L'.M'J 'iZ^Z^HHi.i.Mmi' V V.*"*J tury miracle—-the irrigation H3RI ,sr*» 1 ^ : "<k\ TT"?"^ of the desert. The symbolic d e s i g n of the single 37 agorot stamp shows a cutaway of the National Water ^5, Carrier—a pipeline which will transform the arid, unproductive regions of the Negev into fruitful, life-sustaining communities. Another vertical stamp issued that day commemorates the 20th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi p r i s o n camps by Allied troops as World War II ended in 1945. The stamp is inscribed in bold Hebrew characters "REMEMBER" (the Jewish word is Zachor). The items depicted carry 'out the t h e m e with the gnarled hands of victims reaching for hope—the tattered sleeve of •a striped prison uniform—and the yellow Star of David which til
