STOCKHOLM (JTA) — Prob¬ lems concerning Israel and the Middle East to bo taken up at the forthcoming session of the United Nations General Assem¬ bly were discussed by Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurl¬ on and Swedish Premier Tage Erlander. Mr. Ben-Gurlon, who Is currently visiting Sweden as part of a tour of five Scandanavl- an nations, was ' the luncheon guest along with Mrs. Ben-Gurl¬ on and their daughter Rcnnana Leshem, of Swedish King Guataf rv Adolf and Queen Louise at their summer residence in So- flero.
The Israeli Prime Minister, who spent an entire day at the home of Premier Erlander, was understood to have briefed the latter on details of Israel's aid to underdeveloped countries. It is believed that Mr. Erlander pro¬ mised Mr. Ben-Gurion that Swe¬ den would pay full attention to Israeli's standing proposition at United Nations sessions concern¬ ing the necessity of direct nego¬ tiations between the Arabs and Israel as a condition for any ne¬ gotiation about the Arab refu¬ gees.
THE ISRAELI Premier deliv¬ ered an address at a dinner at¬ tended by Swedish Government officials and Jewish communal leaders, in which Mr. Ben-Gurion said that there was "a large mea¬ sure of agreement and under¬ standing" between Israel and Sweden "aa lo the ways In which problems should be tackled In order to Increase peace, security and  prosperity."
Addressing a press conference, Mr. Ben-Gurlon said: "I am sure peace will come to the Middle Bast, but I cannot know when it will be. It international ten¬ sion will go on, peace will come later to our part of the world. If there will bo less tension, I believe peace will be even in my lifetime."
BEFEBBING TO the tension between the two major world powers, Mr. Ben-Gurion stated: "I believe the two Big Powers are wise enough to prevent war. I am sure both want peace. Also the Communists who say they are sure Communism will come to the whole world sooner or later, have  no reason to destroy
Ru.isia   by   war." 1
Asked about Israel's refusal to admit Dr. Robert Soblen, . the American psychiatrist convicted of spying for the Soviet Union, the Prime Minister replied: "We refused Soblen permiasion to settle in Israel because he Is not an honest man. Ho did not want to settle In Israel, but only to escape  from   the  United  States."
WITH BEGABD to the Elch- mann trial, the Premier said: "The principal aim of the trial Was to give  the  world  the  real view  of
the danger of anti-Semitism and to ahovi' the younger ones what really happened in the time of the Nazis. This aim was reached." The Prime Minister confirmed that he had discussed with Swe¬ dish Premier Erlander the prob¬ lem of aid to underveloped coun¬ tries but added that he did not propose any cooperation between Israel and Sweden. He lauded Sweden for having attained the "highest degree" of Social wel¬ fare. Mr. Ben-Gurlon declined to answer a specific question about
recent developments in Egyptian rocket capabilities, but he declar¬ ed that "we will do anything In our power to defend Israel,"
Referring to his luncheon visit with the Swedish King, Mr. Ben- Gurion said he was Impressed with the simplicity of the King, and that he had Invited him to visit Israel. The 80-year-oId mon¬ arch declined, however,' replying that he was too old, Mr. Ben- Gurlon said. He added that the King showed a deep knowledge of Israel's problems.

TE5L AVTV (JTA)—Work was resumed this week In the Belt Netofa area under a heavy police guard on excavations for a water pipeline atter police made a series of night arrests of Arabs who were trying to incite Arab villagers to oppose the excava¬ tion work by force. The excava¬ tion proceeded without Incident although some tension Was re¬ ported among the Arab villagers.
Work on the project, a key part ot the Jordan RIve-Negev irrigation project, was suspend¬ ed because of Arab objections to
the pipeline's passage through their land holdings. The Haifa District Court rejected an ap¬ peal by 21 of the landowners against a condemnation order issued by the Israel Water Au- thorty for parts of the area need¬ ed for the pipeline. The court also rejected the villagers' re¬ quest for an appeal to a higher coart.

Cage Coach Goes To Israel, Runs Into His Mother-In-Law
BEHT ALiFA KIBBUTZ, Israel —At the foot of the Gllboa Moun¬ tains on the Jordanian border, &n American basketball coach, George Davidson of Lafayette College, took time out from a( clinic for 14-yettr-old youngsters to dlscuas his athletic Peace Corps-mission  to  Israel.
"It's really amazing," he said. "I've come halfway around thei world and what do I find here? My mother-in-law! She's going all the way aroimd the world on her summet vacation. There has to be a moral In this somewhere," he said with a twinkle in his eye.
DAVIDSON, aent to Israel un¬ der the Joint sponsorship of the US. State Department and the UJS. Oommltee Sports for Israel to help  prepare the Israeli Na¬
tional Team for t le World Championships In Manila In De¬ cember, mopped his brow under the burning noonday sun and then took a swig of a local lem¬ onade  drink   palled  "Tempo."   '
"You know," he said, "I still can't get over how these Israelis have token to basketball. It'a the numJaer one participant sportf here. Since my arrival Tve been traveling the hinterlands holding classes and conducting clinical for men and boys 14 through 28. In each kibbutz there Is a per¬ son who volunteers for the job of sports director and each kib¬ butz has a well-lighted court pav¬ ed with concrete. I work with boys In the afternoon and the older fellows at night. In the winter they have their own lea¬
gues—A, B and C—depending on their  strength."
"THEY ABE ALL eager and receptive to new ideas of improv¬ ing play and have done remark¬ ably well putting my theories in¬ to practice. The Israelis are Just now starting to master the Jump shot, but they do very little fak¬ ing. They call It 'bluffing.'"
"I have shown them the pro¬ per way to fast break and they like it. They are not too tall but they are fast. After taking off the heavy work shoe for the sneaker they are ready to go . . . despite worlting for 10 hours a day In the fields and being out of bed since four In the morn¬ ing."
TWO DAYS AGO, the Belt Al¬ fa  Kibbutz  scrimmaged   against
another kibbutz and Davidson was pleased with the result. Af¬ ter the game, both teams looked at several films of Lafayette games Davidson brought With him. This was followed by re¬ freshments and an impressive ceremony in which both teams presented him with, beautiful Books   aetamng   in   line   pnolos
the  sights of Israel.
"It certainly was a, heart¬ warming experience," Davidson said. "I know I'm getlng much more out of my trip than I will be able  to give  to the Israelis."
DAVIDSON WILL finish his work at Beit Alfa soon and then head west to the Orde Wlngate Institute for Physical Education at Netanya, the only school of its   kind   In   the   Middle   Bast.
There he will spend 10 days in¬ structing Israeli high school coaches from visiting Airo-Aalan nations. Then follows an Inten¬ sive two-week period drilling the Israeli National Team In a nor¬ thern kibbutz.
Davidson watched several members of the National Team In action during an Internation¬ al tournament In Turkey late in July while he was en route to Israel. The tourney Involved squads from Belgrade, Athens, Istanbul, Ankara and Tel Aviv and was staged In Instanbul. Tel Aviv lost to Belgrade In the championship game by nine points after holding leads of 10 and  13 points.
"THE HIGHLIGHT for the la- naells," said Davidson, "was that
thia tournament marked the first time that an Israeli team had ever beaten a Turkish team In Turkey. Considering that the Is¬ raelis had only three days ot practice before thfe' tournament, with some boya married and others working as much as 10 hours a day, they certainly are to be commended for their fine play.
"Besides, Belgrade drew a bye In one game and was well-rested. Belgrade also was the only team with good size and a good re¬ serve bench. Including two 6-9 men. Four ot the Belgrade play¬ ers would be welcomed by any American football coach. They were big, strong, heavy-legged boys who Just bulled their wa.y (contlnuad on paga 4)
