Ambassador Eliahu Elath arrived here today from New York en route to Israel for consultations prior to his proceeding to London to take up his post as the head of the Israel logation there.
(The New York Times today devotes an editorial to Mr. Elath, in which the paper says that “if the young state of Israel had had a hundred million people to choose from” it could not have found a more effective ambassador than Mr. Elath. “As he has done here, he will surely make friends for Israel in London,” the editorial states. It also extends its best wishes to Ambassador Aubrey Eban who succeeds Mr. Elath in Washington.)
