Tass, the official Soviet news agency, reported from Tel Aviv today that the Israel Communist Party has adopted a resolution charging that Premier David Ben Gurion has "gone over to the anti-Soviet camp of American warmongers" and demanding the formation of united front comprising the Mapam and Communist Party in Israel to combat "the fascization of the state of Israel."
The Tass dispatch, which appeared in the Evening Moscow, without comment, contains the first mention in the Soviet capital of the Israel Premier’s statement delivered to the Mapai on Oct. 28 and which was described here as directed against the "Israel Communist Party, Mapam, the Soviet Union and the People’s Democracies." The Tass report did not appear in Pravda, Izvestia or in any other paper in this city today.
