Jerusalem, March 27. (JTA)
—Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion today reported to the
Cabinet on his talks in Wash-
ington and London, and re-
plied to questions by members
of the Cabinet.
At the same time, the De-
fense Military today issued an
official announcement disclos-
ing that its representatives in
five Western countries have
been summoned here to par-
ticipate in a four-day confer-
ence and consultations on the
Defense Ministry’s activities
abroad.
Prime Minister Ben-Gurion,
who is also Defense Minister,
and Deputy Defense Minister
Shimon Peres, who also return-
ed recently from an urgent mis-
sion in Europe, will meet with
the representatives in the course
of their parley, the official com-
munique said. A complete
blackout has been imposed on
the subjects to be discussed at
the meeting.
Meanwhile, Mr. Ben-Gurion,
addressing the Mapai party con-
vention this weekend, told the
members of his party: “I can
say with the utmost satisfaction
that I met with a considerable
area of agreement on the part
of all men with whom I talked
on world problems, as well as
on most political analyses of
various political blocs in our
own area. I also met with great
sympathy and understanding
for our positions and needs.”
The Premier stressed that,
while it is premature, as yet,
to reach conclusions regarding
the practical results of his talks
in Washington and London,
“the practical aim of some of
these discussions, though not
all, of course, lay in the dis-
cussions themselves."
If the political conversations
have been “of some use,” he
added, “and if practical expec-
tations are fulfilled, it is only
due to the fundamental prepa-
ratory work of Israeli represen-
tatives in Washington." He
credited also “our devoted
friends in American and Brit-
ish Jewry, whether they are
called Zionists or whether they
do not lay claim to that title."

House Passes Rights Bill
With Clause Against
“Hate Bombers”
Washington, (JTA) — The
House passed a civil rights bill
this week that included a meas-
ure to make it a federal crime
to cross a state line to escape
prosecution for bombing or
threatening to bomb any build-
ing or vehicle. This could be
used against the “hate bombers”
of synagogues, churches and
schools. The bill was passed by
a vote of 311 to 109.
The House rejected a pro-
posal that would have made it
a federal crime to transport ex-
plosives from one state to an-
other with intent to use them
in bombing synagogues,
churches or schools. The civil
rights bill was sent to the Sen-
ate. The Senate immediately re-
ferred it to the Judiciary Com-
mittee with instructions to re-
port it back promptly.

been telling friends he planned
just such an attack because
Jewish youth at the high school
had been complaining about his
wearing a Nazi armband and a
red-painted Nazi helmet.
The youth fled from the
scene after he threw one of
two fire bombs at the syna-
gogue. He told police that,
when congregants came run-
ning out, he started shooting
in their general direction. Wal-
ter Hunt, his step father, help-
ed police and FBI agents find
the youth.
The youth told police he had
been interested in the Nazi
movement since he was in the
seventh grade. He said he had
had an argument with a Jew-
ish boy. He also admitted paint-
ing a swastika on a Gadsden
store several months ago.
The Circuit solicitor said that
the youth told of approaching
the synagogue with two bombs.
He lit one and threw it. When
it failed to go through the win-
dow, he dropped the other one
and started to flee to a cab he
had parked nearby. It was at
this point that congregants be-
gan to pour out and the youth
kept shooting until his rifle
jammed.
The cab was found abandon-
ed later. In it were a Nazi hel-
met, a semi-automatic 21-cali-
ber rifle, a hunting knife, a
can of gasoline and a bundle of
rags. The Circuit Solicitor said
Hunt “seems right proud of
what he did.” He also said there
were no immediate plans to give
the youth a psychiatric exami-
nation and that he would be
