Israeli Officer Found Guilty Of Espionage
TESL. AVrV, (JTA)—Lit. Gol. Israel Beer, former personal nvlU- tary adviser to Prime Minister David Ben-Gurlon, and professor of military history at Tel Aviv University, was found guilty by three Dis¬ trict Court judgea an three charges of espionage. He was sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment for passing secret Information to a foreign agent "with the Intention ot inlurlng the security ot the State."
Beer, who could have received Hfe imprisonment as being con¬ victed on the espionage charges,
said he would appeal against both the verdict and the sentence. "I had no intention of injuring the security of the State, nor have I Injuredi it," he declared.
JUST BBFOKIE HK entered the court room, Beer toid newsmen that he has been acting as his own counsel during the latter stages of Ws long, secret trial, be¬ cause' of a difference of opinion with his lawyer over defense lines. He revealed also ths,t the court had denied his request—"because of technical reasons"—to call nine witnesses, among whom he listed Prime Minister Ben-Gurion. Dep¬ uty Defense Minister Shimon Peres; Israel Galili, a high official of the Defense Ministry; dnd Cap¬ tain Liiddell. Hart, famous mili¬ tary analyst.

fare of the State, of Israel. The court stated It felt that Beer thought that, by his personal "partlsam-iike" action, collabora¬ ting with an agent for a country In the Communist bloc, he would help improve Israel's foreign l-ela- tions.
THE COURT FOUND that Beer "did not aot for money." But, the court added, once Beer had started his connections with the agent, the latter "used Beer according to what he needed from Beer, who acted against the State."
"Lt. Col. Beer, who was one of the Iteenest military analysts for the Isralei press. Was arrested at 2 a.m. last March 31 at his home on the edge of a small forest along the Yarkon River on the outskirts of Tel Aviv.
SOME 65 POUNDS of docu¬ ments were removed from his home by the arresting officers, reportedly only a few hours after his 'last contact with a foreign agent for a Communist country. Dr. Beer, who persistently denied that he knew any secrets, toid probers of the Shin Bet, the Israel security service, that he had been "dragged into" the espionage work.
' It • was alleged that Beer was one of a very small handful of Israelis who knew all the plans ol the 1956 Sinai CamppJgn in advance. He was charged with having passed on these plans to a Communist country Which, in turn, transmitted the Sinai cam¬ paign plans to Egyptian agents. The Egyptians, however, disre¬ garded the information, thinking it was false.

This Is a victory made possible by CXRT. It is what we mean when we say the skills we teach transform lives. An ORT graduate gives up despair for the joys of dignity and  productivity."
Mrs. Roth pointed out that ORT fashion shows have been arranged throughout the length and breadth of the U.S. "We Want to show the entire American Jewish com¬ munity," she said, "the brilliant work of our ORT students of Jewish communities on five conti¬ nents, and to illuminate the even more brilliant future this work augurs.

Still others open their own small shops.; All, of them, as a resljlt bf ihelr ORT training, are able to live pro¬ ductive and independent lives."
