Golda Meir Takes Off ice As 4th Premier of Israel •' JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Knesset gave an -overwhelming vote of confidence this week to the coalition government of Mrs. Golda Meir, •who becomes Israel's fourth Premier. The vote - was taken following an hour-long speech by the 70-year-old former Milwaukee school teacher, in which she served notice that Israel would never accept a solution to the Middle East conflict imposed by the Big Powers. Mrs. Meir's coalition cabinet is the same as .the one put together 22 months ago by her predecessor, the late Prime Minister Levi Eshkol, on the eve of the Six-Day War. It consists "Of her own Israel Labor Party, now in political alignment with Mapam, the left-wing labor

party; the Gahal (Herut-Liberal Party aUgnment); the Independent Liberals; National Religious Party; Pbali Agudat Israel, and four small factions made up of Druze and Israeli Arabs affiliated with the Labor Party. Platform . The position" of Mrs. Meir's Government was spelled out in a platform presented to the Knesset which declared that "the government will make constant efforts to achieve a durable peace with Israel's neighbors founded on treaties of peace to be reached in direct negotiations between the parties concerned." The document asserted further, "Without peace treaties, Israel will continue to maintain in full the situation as determined by the cease-fire and will consolidate her position in accordance with the vital needs of her security and development." That platform, reflecting the demands of the rightwing, nationalistic " •"-• faotlnn; appeared to contradict the contention of some observers here and abroad that in the 1past few months Israel had "quietly dropped ' its insistence on direct peace talks with the Arabs and formal peace treaties with them. _ Mrs. -Meir's maiden speech as head of the government left little doubt about what Israel's stand will be in the months ahead. She reflected the deep concern felt here: that the Big Four powers, whose representatives were expected to confer on the Middle East at the United NationsthisI week, mavr come up with recommendations inimical to Israel's interestsand exert pressure on Israel to accept them. "The-smaliStatenof Israel vcntures-to ask— its friends . . . to understand J.hat in matters affecting our existence, the conditions for our very physical survival, no decision can be adopted without us, nor can any recommendations be formulated without our consent," Mrs. Meir said. ; . She said the Arabs must understand that the cease-fire lines can be tranquil only if quiet is maintained on both sides of tho line. ''We want tranquility," she added. "It was never our aspiration to win victory in war, but to prevent wars; But it has been demonstrated that when wars have been forced upon us, we have been able to play our. part and there is no doubt in my 1heart that if a new war is forced upon us again , we shall again be victorious." ; Former PrimeMinistef "David Ben-Gurion,-i- absent from the chamber during Mrs.' Meir's -address, arrived later but abstained,from cast- : ing a ballot in',the.confidence vote.

spent for defense," said Mr. Newman, "and we must accept the financial responsibility for the continuing human needs of hew immigrants in Israel." Mr. Newman noted that he is grateful to the many men who have agreed to share with him the campaign responsibilities this year. "While I . a m well aware of the capabilities and commitment of all the men who have assumed positions of campaign leadership, I know none better than the man who will head the Executive, Division. I am pleased to have my brother Bob working with me in this most crucial year of our annual campaigns," said Mr. Newman. Family Tradition A native Omahan, E. Robert Newman reflects a family tradition of devotion to community service. An active worker in many Phila n t h r o p i e s campaigns, Mr. Newman has also played leadership roles in the annual Israel Bond Campaigns. He is a past chairman of the annual Cancer Campaign, and has served on the board of Temple Israel. His community service includes-the vice-presidency of the board of the Archbishop Bergan Mercy Hospital; vice-president of the Mid-America Council of Boy Scouts and service on its executive board. In accepting the chairmanship, Mr. Newman said, "I am pleased to serve in this capa-
E. Robert Newman city, because I share Nick's concern about the.'.need for funds this year. To bring these needs to the attention of the business community, many men will be working with me, including Joe Pollack, who has . agreed to serve as assistant chairman of this division. I feel certain that once the needs . are made known, the men in our division will respond accordingly," Mr. Newman said.
