IN ACCEPTING Mr. Eban's resignation. Prime Minister David Ben-Gurlon wrote: "You have been able to intensify the links between America and Israei by emphasizing the spiritual values ond political interests common to them both. For each of our countries is attached to the di¬ vinely conceived values of humon freedom and to the democrotlc system based on the concept ot 'government of the people, by the people, for the people.' " Reviewing Ambossodor Eban's work at the United Nations, the Prime Minister referred to the "eager suspense with which you have been heard In the Inter¬ national forum as a result of your strong peraonallty and arresting speech."

AARON ZACKS Co-Chairman, Women's Division, UJF When people ask me what I think ot Israel—my reply Is al¬ ways, "It's exciting." In all of our travels in many countries, never have we seen a people who are so busy with building a new world. They work with purpose ond urgency for o new tomorrow—not for themselves, but for their chil¬ dren. Everyone—Sabra and new¬ comer alike.

This little country is the only country In the world with no quoto. Whoever comes Is wel¬ comed, given immediate citizen¬ ship ond o new start with the barest of necessities but a moxl- mum of love and dignity. Many of the newcomers are Intellectuols with profound scientific and cul¬ tural backgrounds who are al¬ ready making tremendous contri¬ butions to the unbelievable prog¬ ress which has been made in Israel: In the fields of education. Industry, agriculture, sciences and arts. Only a dedicated and de¬ termined people under able lead¬ ership could have achieved such results in so short a time. ISRAEL HAS many long range plans with which she hopes to achieve economic Independence. Foreign capitol Is being encour¬ aged with a new and liberal pol- Abba EInui ed as our representative abroad. I am certain that the strength which has sustained you in your foreign service will be with you In even greater measure at home." IN A LETTER to the Prime Minister (released in Jeruaolem today) Mr. Eban recalled conver¬ sations tn Jeruaalem In which he had discussed the prospect of "en¬ tering the public life of the coun¬ try in the framework of Its par¬ liamentary Inatitutlonat" He expreaaed hia ''deep. appre¬ ciation of the encburaKenient'' which .the Prime ,,.jai)ni'8te[r .. aii,^ FbriIgn"SIlnl8ter 'Oflda ]iiltelr 'lia^, given him in hia iupli^on: to en¬ ter tliia new sphere of activity.

In Israel one sees new Israeli families gradually leaving their slum-like temporary houses and moving into attractive new apart¬ ment buildings; They are small apartments, only three rooma, but they are adequate and livable.

Security Ctouncil to defend larael'a rights of sovereignty, peace and self-defense. "FROM THAT time to this the U.N. has been a central arena for Israel's political struggles," Mr, Ebon wrote. "It Is In the U.N, arena that our country has made Its first strides towords the de¬ velopment of a general foreign policy aiming at the strengthen¬ ing of peace, the prevention of atomic conflict, the evolution of African and Asian peoples from dependent stotus to full sover¬ eignty, ond the Institution ot In¬ ternotlonal co-operation for eco¬ nomic development and the de¬ fense of human rights. "Many nations which ore now establishing direct relations with us In diplomacy and commerce encountered us for the first time In the U.N. forum." , "Above all," Mr. Eban said, "the very siiectacle of lai^l. .In. the:. f«wily.,^inatl6na BJtetKfl'CwSitiiiB W'i^tBr'a^iftnig^; iJiisiiiiiiitieB:: which our na£l6n /induired teri many'centuriea," ' ¦ ." :' STAR-STUDDED TRIBUTE BEING PLANNED BY NATIONAL TESTIMONIAL COMMITTEE A Notional Testimonial Com¬ mittee to pay tribute to Ambas¬ sador Ebon of laroel has been established In Washington, with Vice President Richard M.
