Sen. Duff released a letter from
Robert T. Ross, Assistant Secre
tary of Defense, replying to the
Senator’s request that the follow
ing language be deleted: ‘‘In
dividuals of Jewish faith or des
cent are strictly barred entrance
to and transit of Saudi Arabia.”
Mr. Ross said that it was a De
fense Department policy not to
discriminate against any group
and the “non-assignment of in
dividuals of Jewish faith within
Saudi Arabia should in no way
be construed as a discriminatory
measure.”
However, Mr. Ross said, al
though Sen. Wilson had directed
the deletion of the language from
the manual, military departments
in making personnel assignments
“must avoid those which might be
likely to make an individual sub
ject to embarrassment or to place
him in jeopardy.”
Strong criticism of the Defense
department’s action was voiced by
Senator Herbert II. Lehman, who
termed tin- announcement as
"meaningless.” ‘‘Actually," Sena
tor Lehman said, "the Defense
Department’s action is meaning
less since the department itself
points out that American GI’s of
Jewish faith or descent will con
tinue to be barred from the U.
S. air base in Saudi Arabia. The
department thus continues to tol
erate, to acquiesce in the unjusti
fiable discrimination by a foreign
government against American mil
itary personnel on the basis of
their religious faith."
San Diego Sea Lions
Arrive At Israel Zoo
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—A cou
ple of permanent guests from
San Diego have arrived in Israel,
but their fastidious eating habits
have required some special ar
rangements. The guests a pair
of sea lions—arrived here by air
cal Zoo and their meals will be
provided by special arrangement
to take up residence at the Bibli-
with Tnuva’s deep sea fishing
fleet. It seems that sea lions
won’t call it a good square meal
unless they've consumed about
8 pounds of freshly netted deep
sea fish apiece.
The sea lions, now comfortable
for sea otters pending completion
of their own home, are as yet un
named. The zoo committee has
at home in a pool originally built
invited suggestions from interest
ed spectators. In general, the
first few days of their stay here
proved that the new surroundings
were congenial to the guests, both
of whom spent their time alter
nately swimming and basking in
the strong sunlight.
A man has tact icho icon“t
change his mind but will
change the subject.
There is no right way to
do a wrong thing.

higher than on the home markets.
He also reported the development
of the canning industry, with six
