How this transcription was made
Read from the scan by a machine looking at the image of the page, not by optical character recognition and not by a person. The clipping carries no masthead or date line, so its date and newspaper rest on the record it arrived with, not on anything visible in the scan.
Context added by this archive
Date check: No masthead or folio line on this clipping — it is a trimmed single-column brief. Under the headline stands the credit line “Special to The New York Times”, which agrees with `pub`. The dateline reads “TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 1”, consistent with publication on 1961-02-02, but no year appears on the scan.
