This time they went to thc s\vamp-infested Valley of Estlraelon, where they helped to drain the swamps and till the soil at Nahalal, a new farm settle¬ ment. Today Nahalal is in the heart of one of the most prosper¬ ous farming regions of Israel.
IN THE ISRAEL War of Ub-
eratlon, Dayan was a commander on several fronts. Including Jeru- aalero-.He led thcllr^t armored column, comprised of only half¬ tracks and armored cars, which took the town of Lydda and broke the Arab defense of the neigh¬ boring town of Ramie. He was one of the leadera ot the action that cleared the Invading Egyp¬ tian troops out of the Negev, Because ot his knowledge of the Arab countries and their lan¬ guage, he was selected as a mem¬ ber of the Israel delegation that concluded thc Armistice Agree¬ ment  with   Jordan,
Following his rapid rise in Is¬ rael's defense forces, and a year of study at the Senior Officers' School in Great Britain, he was named vice-chief of staff In 1953, In Dec., 1954, at the age of 38, he was recalled to Israel from a mission to thc United Nations to accept the top post in his nation's army,
IN 1968, HE retired as Chief of Staff and was elected to the Knesset, Israel's Parliament, rep¬ resenting the Mar J party of which David Ben-' urlon is also a member. Shortly ifter, he was given thc portfoli.. of Minister of Agriculture by Ben-Gurion.
