Swim Performance At CJ Outdoor Pool
TEL AVrV, (JTA)—Dr. Nahum Goldmann's initial plunge into Is¬ raeli politics, keyed to the theme that Israel should adopt a neutral¬ ist policy between the Eastern and Western blocs, and should also seek integration in the reg¬ ion, sparked widespread discus¬ sion throughout Israel.
In the first two of a series of scheduled election addresses for the Liberal party, Dr. Goidmann described Israel's foreign policy ns no policy at all. Declaring that Israel's foreign policy had not changed in the paat decade. Dr. Goldmannsald It was "short¬ sighted" for Israel not to seek some sort of integration In the region because all present world policies were based on regional groupings. Israel goes to the polls Aug. 15.
THE WORLD JEWISH leader, speaking to large and enthusiastic crowds,  charged  that  Israel  was
neglacting Rod China which he said would become within a tew years a major factor in the world. Presently, ho said, there was hat¬ red toward Israel in Red CJhlna. Ho attacked the attitude In Israel of "wait and see and don't do anything, or staying put, ot being afraid to try anything new."
He urged the neutralization ot the Middle East through having both blocs ensure the peace ol the region. He warned that time was not working in Israel's favor ond expressed the opinion that neutralization of the Middle Elast would finally compel the Arabs to give up their dreams ot destroying Israel with Communist aid and create the chance that the Arabs might accept Israel as an estab¬ lished fact. He denied that he had ever favored territorial conces¬ sions to the Arabs or acceptance of Arab refugees by larael.

Mra. Golda Melr, Israel's For¬ eign Minister, Irritated by Dr. Goldmann's attack on the for¬ eign policy for which she la re- sponaible, asked for a clear-cut decision of approval for Mapai speakers to attack Dr. Goidmann. She was seconded by Agriculture Miniater Moshe Dayam. However, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion and Labor Minister Glora Joaeph- tal urged a moderate reaction.
THE ABSENCE OF a formal decision not to attack Dr. Goid¬ mann waa taken by Mrs. Melr, Mr. Dayan, Education Minister Abba Eban, Finance Minister Levi Esh¬ kol and Deputy Defense Minister Shimon Peres as a green light. They fiercely criticized Dr. Gold¬ mann's peace auggestlons and his neutralization proposals, which they said were tantamount to put¬ ting Israel under the influence of the other power bloc.
While the Mapai speakers did not deny the right of any Jew to come and "belittle" Israel In the eyes of the world.
