ISRAEL'S BOLD MOVE FOR SOLUTION
The swift moving events in the Middle East within the
past few days have left us breathless over the audacity of
the Israeli action and shocked over the thought of additional
loss of life and the import of the situation on the international
scene.
First reaction is to withhold judgment until all the tacts
are in. Yet upon reflection is there anything we do not know.
For several years, Israel has raised her voice in protest
without avail — in the formal places, the embassies of the Big
Three and the halls of the United Nations against the con-
tinued violation of truce agreements and the protocols of de
cency. Only by such dramatic steps as the retaliation raids—
none of them directed against the civilian population, a con
sideration never evidenced by the continuous Arab sniping
has she been able to focus attention on her precarious posi
tion.
Now comes Israel’s most dramatic step, the move into the
Sinai peninsular, giving the Allies the ostensible provocation
and imperative to enter the scene and restore the balance of
power lost to Nassar and the Reds by forfeiture and appease
ment.
Convinced that her status daily weakened as arms con
tinued to pour into Egypt and neighboring Arab neighbors
while she was in effect denied the privilege of arming herself
for defense, Israel faced the alternative of remaining a sitting
duck while waiting to be picked off bit by bit at the announced
whim of her enemies.
Life is sweet to the men and women who have helped forge
the State of Israel. They have known long suffering and the
devouring frustration of danger and hopelessness and they
are unwilling to sit dociley by for new annihilation, as some
would have her do.
Instead, Israel has chosen a calculated risk, action taken at
a strategic time when Russia is preoccupied elsewhere by
diversionary rebellion, setting into motion a chain of interna
tional reaction which could bring the long overdue solution
to the crisis in the area.
None of Israel’s dramatic moves need ever have taken
place had the Big Three acted with the positiveness which
was in their grasp.
The Israelis have our sympathy over the need to revert to
armed action to secure the type of solution which should have
been meted out peacefully over the conference hall. They have
our admiration for the courage demonstrated in this bid for
peace. They bear our prayers and hope for success in elimina
ting once and for all times the spectre of war clouds over the
\Middlc East so that they and the Arabs can go forward to the
\ich fullness of the happy life which comes only in peace.

they be deposited to the Herbert
Goldstein Carnpship Fund.
The purpose of this Carnpship
Fund is to perpetuate the mem
ory. idols and ideals of Herbert
Goldstein who was particularly
interested in the Atlanta Jewish
Communiy- Center, its Nursery
School an^ its camping program.
It is for tkis reason that numer
ous friends have gotten together
to establish such a fund, Center
officials said. Particularly instru
mental in this development were
Stanley Minus, Dr. Bert Sobel-
son and Johnny Glustrom. A large
list of initial contributors has al
ready started this fund with many
other contributors still sending
their checks to the Atlanta Jew
ish Community Center. It was
the idea of Messrs. Mirvis, Sobel-
son and Glustrom that this Camp-
ship Fund be a perpetuating one
in which not only sad but also
happy occasions such as birth
days, anniversaries, weddings,
etc. would be recognized through
the Herbet Goldstein Carnpship
Fund. Checks may be made out

Burglars Take Safe
While Couple Away
At Son’s Wedding
AUGUSTA — The Harry Sha
piros had an unexpected expense
in connection with the recent
marriage of their son Norman to
Miss Shirley Deann Sawilowsky.
During the six hours the fam
ily was away attending the Syn
agogue wedding, dinner and re
ception, burglars broke into the
Shapiro home. They removed a
safe-from the upstairs bedroom.
The safe held an ‘‘unknown
amount of cash” as well as bonds
and other securities.

man charged, were organized by
Egypt as a part of the Egyptian
Army two years ago to spread
terror in Israel by acts of indis
criminate murder, mining and
sabotage. The units, he declared,
were quiescent during the last
few weeks while Egypt was so
deeply involved with the mari
time nations over the Suez Canal
issue. With the conclusion of the
Security Council deliberations on
the issue, the spokesman said,
Col. Nasser, the Egyptian dicta
tor, felt himself immediately free
to authorize the fedayeen to un
dertake new incursions into Is
rael.
Within the last week, the Is
rael spokesman declared, there
have been 24 Israel casualties,
dead and wonded, in fedayeen
mining operations in the South
ern Negev. Only today, he re
ported, after the capture of two
gangs of fedayeen near Ercz and
Sdeh Boker, in the Negev, a
third group was captured by the
Israelis.
Col. Nasser, the Israel spokes
man charged, has ‘‘persistently
flouted” the Israel-Egypt arm
istice agreements and has de
clared Egypt to be in a state of
war with Israel. “It is not Israel
which has sought to encompass
Egypt with a ring of steel with
the announced and flaunted pur
pose, at the appropriate moment,
of annihilating her,” he asserted.
“It is Egypt which gloried in
this effort which was crowned a
few days ago by formation of
the Syrian-Jordan-Egyptian mil
itary command under the com
mand of the Egyptian Command-
er-in-Chief.”
The spokesman declared that
Col. Nassf-r had ignored his in
ternational obligations under the
Constantinople Convention of
1888 and the Security Council
decision/ to permit free passage
or shipping through the Suez
Canal. He pointed out that af
ter the last Security Council ses
sion on the Suf'z situation, the
Egyptian Government reinterat-
ed its determination to block
passage of the canal to Israeli
shipping.
“Israel,” he affirmed, “has
done all in its power to achieve
peace with Egypt. Its leaders de
clared their readiness to meet
with Egyptian representatives any
time and any place to discuss
settlement of mutual problems.
“The proffered hand of peace
has always been brutally and
even derisively rejected Egypt’s
response has been to heighten
the propaganda of hate and hos
tile activities aimed at the very
existence of Israel. Israel seeks
a relationship with people of
Egypt based on mutual respect
of rights, free from the threat of
attack on its citizens, of blockade
and of interference with its com
munications by land and sea.”

tailed developments in the past
week and particularly in the last
24 hours, Sir Anthony appeared
in a more understanding role of
Israel’s trials and tribulations
than at any time in recent years.
He alluded several times to the
fact that “everybody knows”
that Egypt has far more arms
than Israel and that this, coupled
with recent statements and ac
tions of the Egyptian Govern
ment, had “further aggravated”
the apprehension in Israel. He
noted also the significance of
the just concluded Egyptian-
Syrian-Jordanian military pact
and the increasing tempo of gu
erilla attacks and commando in
cursions into Israel.
The Prime Minister reported
that the government had public
ly and privately reacted to the
Israel mobilization by stating
that Britain would honor its ob
ligations under the Anglo-Jor-
dan Treaty.'As late as Monday
night, Israel had again given the
British Ambassador assurances
that it would not attack Jordan,
he said.
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Bri
tain and France rejected Tues
day a strong personal appeal
from President Eisenhower not
to take action against Egypt by
reoccupying the Suez Canal zone.
The President sent an appeal
through diplomatic channels to
British Prime Minister Sir An
thony Eden and French Premier
Guy Mollet in which he express
ed his “earnest hope” that the
United Nations would be given
full opportunity to settle the con
troversy.
Col. Gamal Abdel Nasser, the
Egyptian dictator, was reported
Tuesday to have rejected the
Anglo-French demand that
Egypt and Israel troops withdraw
ten miles from the Canal and
permit a temporary Anglo-
French military occupation of
the zone.
JERUSALEM, (JTA) Premier
David Ben Gurion convened a
special meeting of the Israel Cab
inet Tuesday to discuss the An
glo-French ultimatum to land
troops in the Suez Canal zone.
It was announced that the Bri
tish and the French had asked
of both the Israelis and the
Egyptians permission to station
troops at Port Said, Port Suez
and Ismalia. The Israeli people
appeared to welcome this new
turn of events.
