'Troika' Doctrine Menace To Israel
BY SAUL CARSON
(J.T.A. Correspondent at the United Nations) (Copyright, 1901, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.)
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. — A document of tremendous im¬ portance to the entire world was Issued here last week by Secretary- General Dag Hammarskjoid. It Is the Introduction to his annual report to tho General Assembly. The body of that annual report Is always prepared and issued earlier In the summer. The Introduction is usually held up for issuance just before the Assembly convenes.
Since this year's regular Assembly, the 16th session of this body, Is scheduled for September 19, Mr,
Hammarskjoid has now Issued his introduction, so as to give all members and delegations an op¬ portunity to study It.
A 20-PAOE statement of the Secretary-General's concept of the methods along which the United Nations should function, the In¬ troduction Is of particular Im¬ portance to the small nations of the world. And one of the nations that will find the paper of great¬ est importance Is Israel.
Briefly, Mr. Hammarksjoid, In this introduction, juxtaposes two U.N. principles. Without naming Khruschev or Russia, he sets forth tho Khrushchev doctrine, which holds that the Secretariat should bo composed of a "troika" —three, co-equal secretaries-gen¬ eral, one representing the West, one from the "Socialist" bloc, a third from the so-called "neutral" world. Against that concept, the U.N. chief poses another, deeper philosophy.
THE KHRUSHCHEV doctrine. In Mr. Hammarksjold's view, em- braoea what he calls the "confer¬ ence" approach. Under that doc¬ trine, the U.N., he holds, can be only a forum for conferences among nations. Too polite to call the Russian notion one that seeks to lock the U.N. Into the form of a mere debating society, that Is exactly what the "conference" ap¬ proach means. On the other hand, Mr. H. proclaims the validity of his approach, which he calls the "executive" approach. He holds that, after decisions or recom¬ mendations had been voted by the Security Council or the General Assembly, there must be an execu¬ tive at the U.N. to Implement the resolutions. That executive. In his view, is the Secretariat—with one, single, neutral Secretary-General at the head.
The significance to Israel of these two approaches is apparent at once. Khrushchev wants the Secretariat to be run by power blocs—the West, the East and the so-called "neutral" or "unaligned" countries. Now all know there are no real nuetral or unaligned na¬ tions. The majority of the "un¬ aligned" often form their own blocs—either on a permanent basis or on specific, ad hoc Is¬ sues. One need only recall the fact that Israel Is a "loner" here, being a member of no bloc at all, to realize how dangerous the Khruschev doctrine Is for the Jewish State.
IT Is well know that, when blocs compete, the strongest or more persuasive wins. Further¬ more, when a "neutral" policy is adopted, it is usually a compi'O- mise; In that event, the "com- .promlse" is loaded In favor of the "lesser evil." Too often, it could be found, any Issue involving the Arab states against Israel could result In a finding that appease¬ ment of the Arabs Is the "lesser evil."
There have been many occas¬ ions here In the past when Israel, and its friends, were dissatisfied with the Implementation of U.N. decisions or recommendations by the Secretary-General. But the situation would be worse con¬ founded if there were three heads of the Secretariat. Even if the Western head were to favor fair¬ ness toward Israel, the Eastern representative would always team up with the "neutrals" against Israel. Those "neutrals" would be sure to contain elements Influ¬ enced by, if not representing, the Arab League.
EXAMINED in the light of these realities, there is no doubt

TEL AVIV, (JTA) — Interest in Israel centered this week on the various party moves as horse- trading got under way for agree¬ ment on composition of a new coalition government for Israel.
Under Israel's proportional rep¬ resentation system, no party got a majority in the new 120-man Knesset. Premier David Ben Gur- lon's Mapai Party, with 42 seats. Is the largest party and thus Will be given the assignment of form¬ ing the new government. It will have to have at least two coalition partners In order to have a safe Knesset  majority.
Mapai has the alternatives of seeking to reconstitute a broad coalition of all the parties except the rightest Herut and the Com¬ munists, a coalition with the mid¬ dle-of-the-road Liberal Party and
the National Religious Party, or a coalition with the two leftist labor parties, Mapam and Achdut Avodah, and the National Relig¬ ious Party, or a coalition with the two leftist labor parties, Ma¬ pam and Achdut Avodah, and the National Religious Party.
Mapai leaders were said not to favor the broad coalition and to be divided on the advisability of a coalition government formed of Mapai, Mapam, Achdut Avodah and thc religious group. Mr. Bon- Gurlon, It was reported, was firm¬ ly against such a coalition with the left-wing parties, with which he had quarreled In the last Cabinet. He was described as fav¬ oring a coalition with the Nat¬ ional Religious Party and the Liberals.
It was also reported that Kadlsh

Center Pre-School Begins; Many Improvements Planned
A decade ends — a new one begins! And with this mark of time, our community has seen the product of children who have passed through the portals of the Jewish Center Pre-School.
Now — the new decade is about to begin. In its constant striving towards growth that will continually implement the original basic philosophy of the School (the self-development of thc total child, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually), many changes have been seen  In  structure,  facilities,
equipment, materials, in new, ap¬ proved standards and new, tested program ideas.
IN THIS RESPECT the 1961-62 school year is no exception. So many things will be refreshingly new. But — as If in deliberate design to commemorate the sec¬ ond decade, this year will see changes that may truly serve to be transformations:
To complement such growth and changes in structure and physical and material plan with high-level¬ ed staff Is no simple task. Yet, this match too has become a re- edlty. David Roth, who Is the lead¬ er of the Pre-School Committee of the Center, joined by Mayer Rosenfeld, the executive director, ahd Mrs. A. R. Schwartz, the School's director, announced the 1961-62 faculty.

Luz, speaker of the former Knes¬ set, would decline nomination for election as Speaker of tho fifth Knesset, when the new House Is organized. In that case—and If the Liberal Party becomes a part¬ ner In the next coalition Govern- mcnt^Mapal may propose the Speakership go to Dr. Pinhas Rosen, Minister of Justice in the outgoing Government, and a lead¬ er of the Liberals.
Mr. tlosen has reportedly said he would "not want to be In- . eluded In any Government formed by Ben-Gurlon." He Is still "angry" over Mr. Ben-Gurlon's re¬ fusal to accept a Ministerial Re¬ port, made to the last Govern¬ ment, clearing former Defense Minister Pinhas Lavon of respon¬ sibility for a security mishap In 1954.
Meanwhile,    the    Mapam    and Achdut Avodah parties contlrtued their efforts to  prevent  the  for¬ mation    of    a    Mapal-domlnated Cabinet. They are proposing that all former coalition partners draw up   a   "minimum   coalition   pro¬ gram" which  they would present OS   a   condition   for   joining   the Government.  Their  proposals,  as Indicated     by    Achdut    Avodah leaders, also aim at obtaining an undertaking  from   all  four  pros¬ pective partners to the coalition, not to join any Cabinet separately. The "minimum program" would call   for   the  establishment   of  a National Defense C3ouncll to sup¬ ervise the activities ot the Defense Mlhistry. It would  also  demaitd Cabinet decisions on all Ini^drfa'nl:' security or foreign policy Issues. The left wing's readiness to enter a coalition with the Liberals ap¬ pears to be a shift in policy. Less than two years ago, they made'It a  condition  of  their  joining  the Cabinet that the General Zionists not to be invited to join.
The Liberals have promised their supporters that they would not join any government in which their Influence is not strong main¬ ly through control of important "key" portfolios such as Com¬ merce and Industry or Finance. Some of the Liberal leaders, on the other hand, are speaking of remaining in "constructive" op¬ position since they do not believe they can obtain the necessary strength in tlie government.
Late this week, the Central Election C!ommIttee officially an- . nounced the distribution of the 120 seats In the new Knesset. The Mapai party was apportioned 42; Liberals, 17; Herut, 17; National Religious Party, 12; Mapam, 9; Ahdut Avodah, 8; Agudah and Poalel Agudah, 6; and the Com¬ munists, 5.
