Neutrals Reject IJAR-Attack
On Israel at Belgrade Parley
BELGRADE, (JTA)—The con
ference of neutralist nations
adopted a policy resolution at its
close last week condemning “im
perialist policies in the Middle
East” and proclaiming their sup
port “for the full restoration of
all the rights of the Arab peo
ple of Palestine in conformity
with the charter and resolutions
of thfe United Nations.”
i The reference to the Middle
East did not mention Israel by
name and the outcome was gen
erally considered a moral victory
for Israel and considerable im
provement over the results of the
Bandung and Casablanca confer
ences, both of which condemned
Israel directly and strongly.
Trustworthy sources reported

Hotel Owner Ends
Negro Picket Threat
SAN FRANCISCO, (JTA) —
Benjamin Swig, national Jewish
communal leader, ended a threat
that his Fairmont Hotel would
be picketed by the National Asso
ciation for the Advancement of
Colored People with a brief
speech to an NAACP delegation.
The local NAACP executive
board had voted to picket the
hotel if demands for the hiring
of additional Negro workers
were not met. Pickets were
ordered to appear at the Hotel
on the night of Sept. 17, when
the Negro College benefit dance
is to be held.
Mr, Swig made the following
points in his brief talk to the
delegation: that the Fairmont
was the only San Francisco hotel
to employ a Negro in an execu
tive post and that Negroes work
in large numbers in various
hotel jobs; that he is a life mem
ber of the NAACP; and that he
intended to work on behalf of
the Negro cause no matter what
the local NAACP did.
“If you think now that I de-
tetve to be picketed,” he said,
"go ahead.”
The delegation members offer
ed handshakes and the matter
ended there.
sought to persuade the other
countries to approve a resolu
tion condemning Israel as “an
imperialist tool,” calling for the
liquidation of all "imperialist
bases” in the Middle East and
African countries, and calling on
the neutralist states to take ac
tion to force Israel to implement
UN resolutions on partition and
the Arab refugees.
More than a quarter of the
delegations opposed the UAR
draft. Led by Premier Nehru of
India, Yugoslavia, Ceylon, Bur
ma, Nepal, Ethiopia, Ghanaand
Cyprus joined to win omission
of the UAR draft from the final
conference documents. The op
posing countries won agreement
from a majority of the delega
tions to a proposal that refer
ences to any conflict directly in
volving any of the participating
countries should be omitted.
At a plenary session the new
Premier of the Algerian Provis
ional Government, Benyoussef
Ben Khedda, for the first time
committed himself against Is
rael. He presented an analysis
of “colonialist crimes,” and prom
ised Algerian support to all
countries and peoples fighting
for independence, including
“Palestine, where 1,000,000 Arabs
were chased from their homes
by imperialism.”
Prince Elhassan, personal rep
resentative of the ruler of Ye
men, said the Palestine partition
of 1948, was “a shrewd device of
the colonialists to maintain their
power.” He also called the “Pale-
stinia problem “the tragedy of
the twentieth century and the
shame of the contemporary
world.”
He said that “this crime was
perpetrated by the colonialists
to attain their aims. This parti
tion against justice is an inter
national problem threatening
world peace. The United Nations
must take the responsibility for
this problem and repair the fault
against 1,000,000 people now liv
ing in tents without bread and
destitute because their belong
ings are in the hands of usurpers
for the benefit of imperialism.”
Guinea Foreign Minister Louis
Lasana listed Palestine as one of
the world’s “crucial contempor
ary problems.” He was the only
non-Arab to mention Palestine
in the conference.
A Cairo weekly was being cir
culated which contained a whole
page on “Israel’s Attempted Spy
ing” ^t the conference. The arti
cle asserted that eight Israeli
spies, disguised as journalists,
“infiltrated” themselves in hotels
accommodating Arab delegates
to spy and “disseminate dissent.”
Detroit Group
Hopes to Solve
Center Dispute
DETROIT, (JTA)—An inform
al citizens committee named by
the president of the Detroit Jew
ish Welfare Federation to re
solve the long-standing dispute
over Sabbath programing at the
Detroit Jewish Community Cen
ter expressed hope this week
that a solution could be found
in the controversy.
The Federation president, Max
M. Fisher, said he had named the
committee not in his capacity
with the Federation but as a pub
lic spirited citizen anxious to end
communal controversy which
might harm overall community
programs. The dispute had led
to formation of a Committee for
Center Sabbath closing. Members
of the informal citizens commit
tee include Federal Judge Theo
dore Levin and Philip Stollman,
Orthodox leader. The committee
has held one meeting with rep
resentatives of the Center and
the Sabbath closing committee.
The Detroit rabbinate, how
ever, charged, in a statement to
the Jewish News of Detroit, that
the rabbinate was being ignored
in the proceedings. Rabbis Leizer
Levine and Haskel Gruber,
speaking for the rabbis, said
they should be consulted and the
Center should be closed Satur
day preceding the meeting to
discuss plans to solve the dead
lock
US Explains Rocket Sale to Nassef-
Willing to Sell to Israel
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
State Department said this week
that Israel never sought to pur
chase American rockets of types
provided to the United Arab
Republic but if Israel should
now desire such rockets “the
Department” can see no reason
why a normal export license
should not be granted.
The Department’s views were
made known in a letter by Assist
ant Secretary of State Brooks
Hays to Sen. Kenneth B. Keat-
Bomb Damages Home of Chief
Rabbi In Paris; Son Hurt
PARIS, (JTA)—A plastic
bomb, believed to have been
planted by extreme right-wing
French terrorists opposed to
President Charles de Gaulle's Al
gerian policy, badly damaged
the home of Chief Rabbi Jacob
Kaplan here. Benjamin Kaplan,
the Chief Rabbi’s eldest son, was
injured slightly by flying glass.
The Chief Rabbi himself and the
rest of his family were out of
the city on vacation.
The bomb caused heavy dam
age to the apartment house where
the Chief Rabbi maintains his
home, the detonation being so
heavy that three automobiles
parked near the building were
also damaged.
It was pointed out here that
the bombing of Rabbi Kaplan’s
home was not an anti-Semitic
act but, rather, another of the
terroristic manifestations by the
opponents of President de
Gaulle’s Algerian policy. Last
week the home of Rev. Marc
Beergnere, former president of
the French Protestant Associa
tion, was also bombed. Rabbi
Kaplan and the Rev. Bergnere
have collaborated in the move
ment backing de Gaulle’s Al
gerian policy.

ing, New York Republican. The
letter sought to explain why the
United States gave export li
censes to the Nasser regime for
US. Viper and Javelin rockets
but rejected Israeli applications
to purchase Nike anti-aircraft
missies for defense against So
viet-built jet bombers furnished
by Russia to the U.A.A. Air
Force.
Mr. Hays said that “in accord
ance with its policy of avoiding
measures which might stimulate
an arms race in the Near East,
the United States has refrained
from supplying (military) miss
iles to any of the countries of
that region.”
In the State Department’s
view, said Mr. Hays, “the intro
duction of missile weaponry un
der present circumstances could
only add to the volatility of the
Near East situation and, given
the enormous costs involved,
would increase substantially the
already heavy arms burdens of
the Near Eastern states. A num
ber of Near Eastern nations
might then wish to acquire such
advanced weaponry, and there
would be no assurance that their
acquisitions would be limited to
defensive ground-to-air missiles.”
“At present no nation in the
Near East possesses missile type
weapons,” Mr. Hays stressed. “It
would indeed be inconsistent
with our desire to see peace re
inforced and progress achieved
toward settlement of difficult
Near Eastern problems were this
country to bear first responsi
bility for setting off a new and
more dangerous form of arms
Soviet Hangs Two
Nazi Collaborators
For Mass Murder
LONDON, (JTA) — Moscow
Radio announced this week
the execution of two Soviet
citizens in Krivograd follow
ing their conviction on war
crimes charges.
The two men, identified as
Kyril Zhuravlev and Josef
Odnasum, had been accused of
participating in the mass mur
der of Jews in Krivograd
where they had served in the
local police during the Nazi
occupation
competition in that area. It would
also be unfortunate were this
country by actions of this kind
to open opportunities for Soviet
moves inevitably aimed at in
creasing tensions in the area and
advancing the Communist cause.
This would be neither in Israel’s
interest nor our own.”
Justifying the sale of Viper and
Javelin rockets to Nasser, Mr.
Hays said “they are of negligible
military importance, and similar
types are manufactured in sev
eral countries.” They were pro
vided to Nasser “for meteorologi
cal research purposes.”
Third-Generation
US Jewish Youth
Seen Seeking Tie
STARLIGHT, Pa., (JTA) —
‘The Jewish student community,
the constituency of which is pri
marily third-generation Ameri
can Jews, is characterized by a
search for Jewish identity and
desire for Jewish participation,”
Rabbi Benjamin M. Kahn, na
tional director of the B’nai B’rith
Hillel Foundations, declared here
addressing 200 students at the
National Hillel Summer Institute
“The positive attitudes of Jew
ish college students today to
wards Jewish religious and cul
tural identification,” he said,
“give us good reason for faith
in the emergence of a creative,
informed and knowledgeable
Jewish community of the future ”
Rabbi Kahn predicted that
within 30 years, two out of every
three American Jews will have
attended a college or university.
He based his prediction on the
fact that two-thirds of present-
day Jewish high school graduates
enter institutions of higher learn
ing.
