Mapai Suspends Ben Gurion; Decision Called Arbitrary
TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Secretariat of the Mapai Party formally suspended David Gen Gurion and six of his foremost adherents from party membership. Formally, the suspension is tantamount to expulsion.
Mr. Ben Gurion, commenting today on the Secretariat's decision, said: "This move is arbitrary and in violation of the truth of Mapai's constitution. Nobody can announce in my name that I have left the party. Only I can do that. If the intention was to say that I have been
expelled from the party, this too is untrue, for nobody is authorized by the party constitution to talte such action and expel me from the party."
. THE SIX Ben Gurion followers suspended from the party are all members of the Knesset, Israel's Parliament. They are: Former De¬ puty Defense Minister Shinon Peres; Yosef Almogi, former Minister of Housing and Development; Amos Degani, Gideon Ben-Israel, Hannah Lamdan  and  Yizhar Smilansky.
All had declared themselves in the Knesset as members of the new political faction called "Israel Workers List." Mr. Peres and Mr. Almogi resigned from the Cabinet recently to join the Ben-Gurion fac¬ tion openly.
THE SECRETARIAT resolution charged that the founders of the "Israel Workers List" had "ex¬ cluded themselves" from the party. The Mapai Control Commission ordered the party's secretary-gen¬ eral to notify the suspended mem¬ bers of the action.
The Secretariat instructed all party branches to act similarly against any party member who supports the new "list" directly or indirectly.

THE MAPAI Secretariat's defini¬ tive aclion against the Ben-Gurion group came after the Knesset ad¬ journed for the summer. The last session was marked by several political defeats for the Govern¬ ment. Eight of nine recommenda¬ tions put before the session by the Mapai-dominated finance committee were voted down by the opposition, which was able to muster enough votes to put through its own ver¬ sions.
Out of 39 government motions, 37 were defeated when the Govern¬ ment could obtain no more than tie votes. The Knesset is not scheduled to meet again until after the No¬ vember elections, unless it is re¬ convened for a special session. Government quarters indicate that no such special session is contem¬ plated at this time.
THE BEN-GURION faction con¬ ducted a large election rally here as soon as the Knesset had ad¬ journed. An overflow audience reacted enthusiastically to the new faction's program, which was an¬ nounced at the meeting, held at the
Habimah Theatre. The program urged a foreign affairs and security policy for Israel based on "self- reliance."
The program also called for an extension by the next Knesset of the compulsory education law. to in¬ clude pupils to the age of 16 as demanded "by the .scientific and economic advancement of Israel."
Also' urged was free post-elemen¬ tary schooling for all.
THE COUNTRY'S economic pro¬ gram, the faction's program noted, should be based on a drive for modernization and decent living standards founded on the assump¬ tion that economic independence is a prior condition to political in¬ dependence.
In addressing the rally, Mr. Ben- Gurion said that his new list would have to "win 1,000.000 votes to have enough mandates to enact electoral reform." He,advocated pressing for a system patterned after that used in Scandinavia, with 30 constitu¬ encies in Israel, each electing four members lo the Knesset.
APPEARING AT the rally un¬ expectedly was former Agriculture [Minister Moshe Dayan, who. though a supporter of Ben-Gurion, declined to join the new list. He was en¬ thusiastically received when he sat next to Ben-Gurion. Mr. Peres also spoke.

YoungAdults'Needs Subject Of Seminar
NEW YORK (JTA)—The urgent need to know more about the Jewish concerns, attitudes and goals of Jewish young adults through local, regional and national research efforts and experimental pilot projects sponsored under total Jewish community auspices was under¬ scored at a two-day consultative seminar held here under the joint auspices of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations, National Jewish Wel¬ fare Board and Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.
More than 50 Hillel Foundation directors, Jewish Community Center executives. Federation executives, rabbis and educators, and program specialists from a variety of other national and local Jewish agencies participated in the sessions.
RABBI BENJAMIN M. Kahn, national director of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations, Sanford Solen- der, executive vice-president ot J\yB, and Philip Bernstein, execu¬ tive director of CUFWF, who took key roles in the seminar, hailed the consultation as an instrument of focusing the attention and efforts of the Jewish community on the needs of Jewish young adults.
In^ the course of the consultation, speakers pointed out the need for more coordinated sharing of re¬ sources, skills and experience in service being rendered to Jewish young adults on all levels of the Jewish community. All efforts in the service of the Jewish young adult should be participated in by all constituents of the Jewish com¬ munity, it was stressed.
SUCH EFFORTS, it was noted, should include the rabbinate and the religious institutions of America, the Jewish educators and the educa¬ tional system, both of which have a pre-eminent role of influence 'in the upbringing of our young.
The differences in methods and approaches among Jewish organiza¬ tions and instiutions in America need not preclude,  it was pointed

out, coordination of effort, joint re¬ search projects, and national con¬ sultation. Leaders from several communities indicated their hope that community experimental pro¬ grams towards reaching larger numbers of Jewish young adults could be undertaken, as well as research projects. The importance of carefully evaluating the process involved in all projects in which young people participate was em¬ phasized.
RUNNING THROUGH all the discussions of the consultations was the conviction that in working with and for Jewish young adults, the goals must be related to meeting the life needs of Jewish young adults in a changing world. Speak¬ ers advised against viewing the problem of the young Jewish adult out of the context of educational and emotional development from in¬ fancy to old age.
The early years of the young adult, when he first begins his Jewish education and is still under the influence of the home environ¬ ment, is where the attention has to be focused from the very outset, it was urged.
THE CONSULTATION partici¬ pants sought to cope with effective ways of reaching out to Jewish young adults, to formulate a prac¬ tical program for encouraging their participation in Jewish communal life, to determine what are ap¬ propriate roles for young adults in Jewish community affairs and to plan to assemble data related to this community problem.
The Jewish Young Adult Consulta¬ tion grew out of research conducted by JWB, the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations, CJFWF and other Jewish groups as well as the recog¬ nition that there is urgent need to intensify activities to encourage meaningful involvement in Jewish community activities by a segment of the Jewish population rapidly in¬ creasing in numbers and in propor¬ tion to the total Jewish population.
