BULLETIN
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Israel Government sources strongly denied reports that Israel was on the rood to manufaetnre of atomic weapons. They expressed concern that the widely feotniwd reports would adversely affect American-Israel relations and would give the United Arab Republic additional gronndB for pressure on the Soviet Union for more armainentB.
The Israel Atomic Energy Commission issued a statement this morning categorically affirming that "Israel is not engaged in the manufacture of atomic weapons. Atomic research In Israel is destined for industry, agriculture,- medicine and science." The statement drew attention to the fact that a reactor with an ul. timate capacity of 1000 kilowatts Had recently been put into operation. This reactor was constructed with American aid.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry said It had "nothing to add" to the oommission's statement. FomuU denials of the A-bomb report were made by the Israel embaiisies in London and Paris.
Soviet propaganda agencies were quick to seize on the A- l)omb story to Incite the Arab world against Israel and the West Arabic-language broadcasts, beamed from the Soviet Union to the Middle East, summarily rejected the Israeli denials and warned of new dangers confronting the Arab world at the hands of IsroeL i
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The Israeli Embassy here denied a report published in London and in Washington that Israel has de¬ veloped a nuclear reactor which will enable the Jewish State to build an atomic l>omb. Similar denials were made also in Jerusalem.
The report, published in the Washington Post, said that It la officially established in Washington that Israel has secretly de¬ veloped a nuclear reactor which would make it possible for the State   of   Israel   to   produce   an I
atomic bomb within perhaps five I "^'^ '" London later told Reuters years. The report was written by ^^^^ Israel Is "not building an Chalmers M. Roberts,  the Post's  ^'^^^ ^"^^ ^^^ ^^^ "° intention
