AMBASSADOR ARIEH LEVAVI IS OUSTED
JE1RUSA1,EM (JTA) — Argen¬ tina's act of declaring the Israeli Ambassador Arleh Levavl as "per¬ sona non-grata" Eind ordering Irim to leave the country In retaliation for Israel's seizure In Buenos Aires of Adolf Eichmann, the notorious Nazi leader who directed the mass-murder of 6,000,000 Jews In Europe, Is strongly criticized here.
The entire Israeli press pointed out that the act Is contrary to the decision of the United Notions Security Council oh the Eichmann issue. Several newspapers see the Argentine move as proof that ex¬ tremist nationalist elements have gained the upper hand in Buenos Aires.
Eduardo ColomJi>o, the Argen¬ tine charge d'affaires here, called on the Foreign Affairs Ministry to give formal notification that his government hod declared Am¬ bassador Levavl persona non grata. Gideon Raphael, acting dl; rector general of the Foreign Af¬ fairs Ministry, who received Co¬ lombo, expressed Israel's regret at the decision.
The personal belongings of Gar¬ cia Arias, the Argentine envoy to Israel, have been packed and shipped to Buenos Aires on the ambassador's Instructions, it waa disclosed. The action was regard¬ ed here as aji indication of a final decision by the Argentine Govern¬ ment not to send the ambassador back to his post here.
Ambassador Arias was called home for consultations soon after Israel disclosed that Eichmann had been seized In Argentina. The envoy's wife remained in Tel Aviv when her husband left for Argen¬ tina, giving rise to hopes of his early return. However, she joined the envoy to Buenos Aires soon afterward.

BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — Tlie Argentine Government, after weeks of silence, spurned Israel's apology for the abduction of Nazi mass murderer Adolf Eichmann this week and formally demanded the return of the Nazi criminal and punishment of his abductors.
In a stiff note, the Argentine Government disclosed that on July 14 it had asked Israel Am¬ bassador Aryeh Levavl to tell the Israel Government that Argentina was not satisfied with the July 4 note in which Israel again apolo¬ gized for the abduction and asked Argentina's understanding of the moral issues mvolved. Israel, In that note also quoted statements made during the Security Council
debate on the Argentine complaint to support the contention that the Israel apology, plus adoption of the Security Council resolution criticizing Israel, should be con¬ sidered "adequate reparation" and the Issue closed.
THE AKGENTINE note pointed out that the Israel July 4 letter had cited statements by the Brit¬ ish, United States and French delegates Ih the Security Council debate to the effect that the Eich¬ mann Incident could ffe considered closed. However, the Argentine Government stressed before the Security Council voted on the reso¬ lution, that the Argentine dele¬ gate. Dr. Mario Amadeo, had made a statement noting that the delegate    opinions   being   voiced
wore personal and not binding on the parties to the dispute.
The Argentine note then cited the statements in the Council de¬ bate made by Arkady Sobolcv of the Soviet Union, Sir Picrson Dixon of Britain and others which stressed. the illegality of Eich¬ mann's seizure on Argentine ter¬ ritory. It complained that, despite the long Interval of time since the Eichmann capture and United Na. tions consideration of the case, the Israel Government has not yet agreed to make the requested reparation.
ANOTHER complaint was that Israel had not officially explained how the kidnaping of Eichmann had been carried out. In effect, Argentina challenged the truth of
Tweens Enjoy Camp
Acquiring new thoughts, ncw| ideas, new understanding and in- sight and more appreciation through direct experience, is the theme and purpose of the Colum. bus Jewish Center's tweenage camping program.
Paul G. Rosenfeld, tweenage di¬ rector of the Center, and the tweenage committee were con¬ fronted with many problems when they began to make plana for this new and unique program. They know that it would take time for the community to under¬ stand just what this program was, what it would consist of, and what the committee waa aim¬ ing for.
THE SEOOND and major prob¬ lem was that of arousing the Interest of the youngsters In the age group Involved. "Knowing your age group," stated Rosen¬ feld, "is the knowledge of what type of activities they will enjoy and participate in, willingly with¬ out too much shoving and en¬ couragement from the parent."
Tweenageis want to do things for themselves. They want to feel and practice self-determination and decision making. It was for this reason that the tween oamp- ing activities were designed as a sophisticated program. "There is absolutely nothing sissylsh about it," states Rosenfeld. "The young¬ sters go sailing, canoeing, horse- baclc riding, play termls and live outdoors and acquire skills through practice and experience with experts. The advisor to each group allows the tween to do everything for himself, and this Is In essence, the mainstay and purpose of-this camping program.
THE PBOGBAM tacorporates many principles not only of out¬ door living but social work as well. It attemjpts to help the youngsters add scope to their ex¬ periences, to make them more aware of life, life ali around them, and of nature and man's Inter¬
relationship in that life. The tweenage committee felt that on the basis of the youngster's day- to-day experience, he or she, should have something more to show for their efforts than just plain having a good time.
"One of the problems we ran toto," said Mrs. Leon Handler, a member of the committee, and whose son Is Involved In this pro¬ gram, "Is that some of our young¬ sters having had or come from camping experiences in years be¬ fore, felt that this might be just another day camp. It was hard to explain that this program was specifically designed for this age group to introduce them to a real- llvtng outdoor camping experience with little or no pamperlzatlon. My son after the second day ad¬ mitted that this csimping exper¬ ience had little in common with previous day pamps."
THE ENTlItE program Is plan¬ ned on a step.up-ladder so that there Is a natural progression of tilings. Thoy do not do the same thing over and over again. There is a lot to learn in sailing and ex¬ pert sailors will not be produced during the short time of the pro¬ gram. However, they will be in¬ troduced to sailing, shown the proper approaches, perhaps wet¬ ting his appetite. The tween takes It from there, listening and doing at the same time. The emphasis on the entire program has been to do for themselves with guidance.
"Next year," added tween com¬ mittee clialrman, Mrs. Julius Mar¬ gulles, "we hope to present an¬ other step up tho ladder for the tweens. We are concerned about the future and are already plan- ntag for It. We wish to create a ladder In this program so that a tween just beginning or a tween maturing, can just keep stepping on In experience, gaining in scope, learning new things, and getting more experience in the things he laiscy already know, and always adding stature as an Individual."

the Israeli contention that the abduction had been done by "volunteers" and not by official Israel CJovernment agents. In dip¬ lomatic terms, the note suggested that Eichmann's abduction had been arranged with the conniv¬ ance of the Israel Embassy In Buenos Aires and. that the Nazi criminal had been reimoved from Argentina In an Israel El Al air¬ liner which had brought a diplo¬ matic mission to Argentina a few days earlier.
The Argentine note asserted also that the Argentine Government did not wish, without direct evi¬ dence, to formulate a hypothesis which would make the situation even worse by connecting the ille¬ gal action with the formal request by the Israel Embassy on May 16 for a clearance lor the Bl Al air¬ liner to depart with some pas¬ sengers.
THE ISRABU. Embassy, said the note, had asked permission for certain persons to travel on the plane for "medical and hu¬ manitarian" reasons. The clear implications was that, under cover of this clearance, Eichmann had been placed^ on the airliner and flown out of Argentine jurisdic¬ tion.
The note added that in view of that situation, the Argentine CJov¬ ernment did not find satisfactory the expressions ot regret and other solutions proposed until the present by the Israel Government and it reserved the right to adopt such measures as it considered opportune.
HOWEVER, &rael has formally rejected the Argentine insinua¬ tion that the El Al airliner which took an Israeli delegation to Ar¬ gentina to celebrate the 150th an- nlversary of the Argentine Revo- lutlon was used to smuggle Nazi criminal Eichmann out of Argen¬ tina.
The Israel rejection of the charge concerning the Bl Al air¬ liner was made when Gideon Ra¬ phael, acting director general of the Israel Foreign Ministry, called in Eduardo Colomho, the Argen¬ tine charge d'affairs, who Is now In charge of the Argentine Em¬ bassy, and made the rejection. Raphael's meeting with Colombo was publicized after the Argentine Government declared Ambassador Levavl persona non grata.
In the report on that meeting, it was declared that Raphael toid CJolombo that "the Israel Govern¬ ment finds lUelf obliged at this stage to declare there Is no foun¬ dation whatever to the Inference whloh might have been drawn from article tive of the Argentine note that the Israel Embassy in Buenos Aires might have ac.ted in a manner contrary to accepted diplomatic usage.
"The Israel Government states that the Israel request pf May 16 tor permission to transfer on medical and h u m a n 11 arlan grounds a number of passengers Or the El Al plane which brought an Israeli delegation to the 150th independence day celebration was iii no way connected with the Eichmann attair," the acting dl- rector general concluded.
