BEN GURION BACK AT HELM; ATTACKS FOUR MINISTERS
JERUSALEM, .(JTAl David
Ben Gurion returned to tho poli¬ tical arena this week as Prime Minister In Israel's caretaker government and promptly made it clear that his vacation had not softened his attitude towards tho four dissident left-wing members of his cabinet whose stand on the Gorman arms issue had toppled his government a month  earlier.
The Premier returned to tho Knesset as the Voice of Israel, the State broadcasting servic came under attack in the general debate as being too responsive to the Mapai Party. Mr. Ben Gurion refused to sit oh the Government benches   with   the   four  ministers
TIIE PREMIER warmly d(-- fendod the broadcasting service in an hour long speech after which the Issue was referred to committee. In the course of his speech, he did not miss an op¬ portunity to lash out against the dissident left-wing cabinet mem¬ bers who had voted against the sale of muitions by Israel to the West German Republic.
Transportation Minister Moshe Carmel, one of the four, took tho floor. He said that when his party entered the coalition Cabinet, it made it a condition that while participating in the Government its members were to maintain a free hand regarding questions concerning  Germany.
MR. CARMEL rejected the Pre¬ mier's charges that the Mapam and Achdut Avodah members of the Cabinet had violated the col¬ lective responsibility pledge by their vote against th^ arms deal with West Germany. He asserted that thoy acted in good faith ac¬ cording to a resolution adopted unanimously in Knesset in Nov¬ ember 19ft4 against Germany's rearmament, and pointed out that this resolution was still valid and binding  on  the  House.

tf) keep the Suez Canal open to tho shipping of all friendly na¬ tions.
Th<' F4;yplians. apparently, re¬ fused to permit passage of Israeli cargoes in the ships of other na¬ tions as they had prior to their seizure ot tho Danish freighter, Inge Toft, at Port Said on May 21.
TIIE EtjlYI'TIANS did. how- over, make certain 'concessions." They would agree to permit cargo from Israel to be carried through the Canal if all Israel exports were carried FOB Haifa---mean- ing goods on board belonged to the buyer, and if all Israeli im¬ ports wore to bo CIP Haifa moaning lliat tliey remained the property of the o.xporter until thoy   reached   Hailii.
Mr. Hammarskjold conveyed these conditions to tlie Israelis and reportedly urged tlit-ir ac¬ ceptance. In his meeting with Jusepli Tekoah, Israel's perma¬ nent representative here, last week, ho was unable to report any progress in his renewed ef¬ forts to induce Nasser to obey the Security Council orders to permit passage of all peaceful shipping.
ANY POSSIBILITY that Israel might go along on Nasser's terms was roughly shaken by the two speeches Nasser ma,de last week threatening Israel with war and extermination. In one speech he addi'd that the UAR would "never accept  the  crime of  Palestine."
The Egyptian dictator's speeclies were probably directed more to the Arabs than to Israel and represented another attempt by Nasser to claim leadership of the Arab world. But the Baghdad Radio, broadcasting in Arabic, poked fun at Nasser'.s boast that ho was only waiting for a chance to meet Israel on the battlefield.
A Western reaction to Nasser's threats was offered by the Now York Times which said editoriuliy that "the question keeps rising as to whether a person who talks aa Irresponsibly as President Nas¬ ser is a worthy i-oprescntative of his people, a good subject for in¬ ternational credit, or a guarantee of something representing peace and civilization in the Middile East."
.lERUSALEM (JTA) - Finance Minister Levi Eshkol asked Is¬ rael's Parliament to ratify an agreement giving a 49-year con¬ cession on n IB-inch oil pipeline from Eilat, on the Gulf of Akaba, to Israel's rcfiriorles in Haifa, on tho Mediterranean to an inter¬ national syndicate headed by Baron Edmund de Rothschild ot Paris.
Mr. Eshkol arid Baron de Roths¬ child signed a preliminary agree¬ ment last weekend, subject to ratification by the Knesset. The syndicate will invest more than .$20 million  in the operation.
Mr. Eshkol told the chamber that the new pipeline would en¬ able the Haifa refineries to work at full capacity and would be a major contribution toward the further development of the Negev, the southern desert. He urged for adults and early ratification of the de Roths- crhlld   concession.
The Finance Minister disclosed that the concessionaries were or¬ ganized in two companies. Tri- continental Pipoiinc, Ltd., with offices in (¦;anada, and Israeli Pipeline, Ltd., which is registered locally.
For their investment of $20 million the concessionaires will obtain the existing 16-inch line from Beerslieba northwards to Haifa and the now line being built from Eilat to Beersheba. Thoy will also have exclusivity on oil imports Into Israel, both at Eilat and along tho Mediter¬ ranean.
They will be guaranteed an eight per cent return on their in¬ vestment for 15 years during which the Israel Government Is obligated lo transport 1.5 million tons of oil annually for domestic requirements.

NEW YORK (JTAl - - A survey of the oxpcrioncos of 1,235 top- lanking Now York high school SI mors in seeking college ad¬ mission has revoalod "no signifi¬ cant I'vidonce" of religious dis¬ crimination, the American Jewish Congress disciosoci in a report tiansmittod to State Education Commissioner Jami's E. Allen, Jr.
The study of the American Ji'Uish Congress shows a marked docline in religious bias encount¬ ered by college-bound students compared with similar surveys undertaken in 1949 and 1952. The latest study was based on a .sampling of high school seniors throughout Now York State who applied for scholarships awarded annually by the Now York Board of Regents.
A TW()-1'A(;E questionnaire was mailed lo 4(141 members of the Juno 195H graduating dlass— every senvcnlh name from a list of 32,876 male and female appli¬ cants for Regents Scholarships. Tlic sample was compiled by the Now York Stale Department of Educalion, which also helped to prepare th|. qiiostionnairo. A total of 123,'i oomplelod (|ueslionnaires wore rouiriiod. Nearly 8(1 percent of Iho rospondonls wore in the top quarter of ihcir graduating classes and 35 percent were ac¬ tually granted scholarships.
Of the 1235 complotod ques¬ tionnaires, 37.1 po.-ccnt c uiio from Jewish students; 30.8 percent from Protestants; 29.1 percent from Catholics and 3.0 percent from til-so of other religions or with    no    loligion.    Nearly    half
41.(7 percent -of the question¬ naires came from New York City students. The rest came from other parts of the state. The sur¬ vey disclosed that Jewish students tended to file more applications lo various colleges than their Christian  classmates.
AN ANALYSIS of the coni- parativo acceptance rate tor Jew¬ ish and Protestant students by the college of their first choice showed that the Jewish rate of acceptance was 74.0 percent, com¬ pared with 84.7 percent tor Pro- iCaatluued oa  page 4}
