AJP ROUND-UP
The Eden-Eisenhower State
ment on the Middle East, clearly
indicating that the United States,
Britain and France have decided
finally to put teeth into the tri
partite declaration of May 25,
1950, has disturbed the Arab
world. The Lebanese Ambassa
dor in Washington, Victor A.
Khouri, speaking in the name of
the eight Arab governments,
bluntly told George V. Allen of
the State Department that no de
cision reached by Eisenhower
and Eden could bind the Arabs.
The Israelis, anxiously awaiting
to see what the three Western
Powers plan to do to guarantee
the full validity of the 1950 dec
laration and wondering what
steps they envisage for its im
mediate implementation in the
event of an Arab attack, patiently
anticipate some move in the
White House that would comply
with their arms request. Ambas
sador Abba Eban is standing by.
Meanwhile Egypt is receiving
more and more arms from Czech
oslovakia and many military ex
perts hold that time Is running
out. The United States must act
immediately to offset the imbal
ance, they say.
Considering the detailed plans
for joint anti-aggression action
in the Middle East, John Foster
Dulles has been meeting all week
with the British and French Am
bassadors at the State Depart
ment. It was predicted that out
of these meetings will come a
secret list of measures the three
powers would be prepared to im
plement in the event of aggres
sion in the Palestine area. While
the three Western Powers are
thus working out their common
plans for the Middle East, ob
servers are expecting some coun
ter Soviet-Egyptian move within
the month either in or out of
the United Nations. Richard Yaf-
fe, UN correspondent for Israel’s
Leftist publication A1 Hamishmar,
sent this cable on the Eden-
Eisenhower conference: “As Eden
and Eisenhower began confer
ences it was clear not only the
deterioration of Arab-Israel rela
tions and emergence of Soviet as
a Mideast Power, but also near
collapse entire Western position
in area." The idea of sending UN
troops to the explosive Israel-
Arab borders was shelved by
Eden and Eisenhower, since such
a move would open Palestine to
Soviet troops also.

Ben Massell
The Jewish Social Service
Federation of Atlanta this week
announced the opening of the
Ben Massell Dental Clinic at 317
Pryor Street, S. W.
The Clinic is sponsored by the
Jewish Social Service Federation
of Atlanta. The Ben Massel Den
tal Clinic provides dental treat
ment and service to needy pa
tients. It functions on a non-sec
tarian basis and is a Red Feather
service.
The development of this den
tal clinic was made possible
Dental Clinic
through the generosity of Ben
J. Massell who built a new, beau
tiful building to house the Clin
ic, and gave it as a contribution
to the community. The Jewish
Social Service Federation was
able to equip the Clinic with the
latest modern dental equipment
through the generousity of the
Bertha Hirshberg Memorial Fund.
The Clinic is staffed by a large
number of outstanding Atlanta
dentists. They are giving their
services on a voluntary basis to
this vital project of community
service. A group of more than 35
civic-minded women, under the
chairmanship of Mrs. George
Chait, will serve as volunteer
receptionists.
Clinics will include: examina
tion, oral diagnosis and x-ray;
prophylaxis; operative dentistry
for adults; minor surgery and
extractions; endodontics; prosthe
tics (limited program); perio
dontics and oral pathology; pe-
dodontics (children’s dentistry);
orthodontics (limited and pre
ventive program).
The Clinic is open on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fri
days for white patients from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. with clinics being
held mornings and afternoons.
Clinics on Thursdays will treat
Negro patients and will be staff
ed by Negro dentists, who have
volunteered their services, and
will serve under the general
supervision of Dr. Irving H.
Goldstein who will act as chief
of the dental staff.
The Ben Massell Dental Clinic
opened its doors during Children’s
Dental He. 1th Week. “This is
most appropriate," stated Sin
clair Jacobs, who is chairman of
the Federation Committee on the
Dental Clinic; as the program of
the Massell Clinic includes the
instruction of children as well
as adults, in proper dental care.
The Clinic will promote better
dental health education.
Inquiries in reference to the
Ben Massell Dental Clinjc should
be addressed to Mrs. William H.
Sachs, Clinic Supervisor, AL 7278.
