JERUSALEM, Palestine, Feb. 14— (U.E)—Israel's first elected assembly was sworn in here today with a plea by President Chaim Weizmann for peace with the neighboring Arabs i and friendship with all peace-lov-! ing nations.
Russia and 11 other countries were represented by their consuls at the historic ceremony. Mut the ■ American, British, and French rep-, resentatives, on orders from their government, boycotted the session ! for fear their presence might lend j support to Jewish claims on Jerusalem.
Premier David Ben-Gurion reiterated those claims in a speech last night. The constituent assembly, composed of 120 members, planned to move back to Tel Aviv after several days here.
Weizmann said “we stretch out a hand of peace to neighboring countries. of friendship to ali peace-loving peoples of the world.”
Ben-Gurion took the oath of office after Weizmann's speech and
called out the names of the first group to take the oath. They included Menahem Biegin former Ir-gun Zvai Leumi leader, and Nathan Friedman Yellin, former Stern gang leader w'ho was freed from Acre prison last week.
The assembly met for 90 minutes in a session marked by much discussion and gavel-pounding during the selection of a vice-chairman. It will meet again tomorrow.
Blue and white flags fluttered from the Holy City's balconies and windows this afternoon as Weiz mann entered the packed assembly hall. He seemed near tears as the Jewish national anthem “Hatikva’’ was playea.
"Thousands of persons listened to the aged statesman speech over a public address system, mounted in King Solomon avenue, the new name for King George avenue.
He described Israel as a state of returned exiles and said the state's goal was to gather in exiles from all parts of the world.

Public Apathy Toward UN Scorned by Ervin
A warning that the United Nations is in danger of failing unless people become interested in it was voiced by Prof. John W. Ervin to a gathering of law students yesterday.
Speaking on behalf of the SC UNESCO council, the law professor said lawyers must take on the mantle of civic re-
-"*sponsibilitj\ both loyally and inter-! nationally.
He called on them to assist m { ; the information campaign needed by the United Nations Educational, ; Scientific, and Cultural organiza- j I tion.	I

City Resolution To Aid Parking
As a resolution to ease the campus parking situation made its wray through the legislative maze in the City hail, the Greater University committee yesterday hinted that new measures to solve the parking question are under consideration.
Bob Flower, committee chairman, reported that his group is planning “something new,” but he declined to comment further because “there are a few wrinkles to iron out yet.”
The already complicated parking problem came to a head last week when students returning to start the new semester encountered two-hour parking signs in the Exposition park area.
The restriction followed a complaint by the Park department that patrons had difficulty parking because of the great number of student cars.
The resolution now before the City council was introduced by Councilman G. Vernon Bennett, University park district.
GT Not Free,
Only Exercising
George Tirebiter did not escape j tilled, from his pen yesterday.
There is no basis to the rumors that this sweet, gentle friend of man and boy alike (an enemy of society, say police) broke out of his Bovard field bastille in a fit of pique and was going mad trying to find Old College.
