BEHIND II. N. SCENES by David Horowitz
Council Decision Hits Arabs
UNITED NATIONS (WUP) —
Despite the Soviet effort—indeed,
a rather half-hearted effort—to
have the Security Council con
demn Israel and demand compen
sation for the severe damage the
Israelis inflicted on the UAR oil
refineries as an “answer” to the
unprovoked sinking of the Elath,
and in the face of feverish at
tempts by Nasser's envoy de
manding that the UN invoke mil
itary action against the Jewish
State, the fifteen-member body—
following hectic consultations be
hind the scenes — unanimously
adopted a resolution which com
pletely disregarded both the So
viet and Arab one-sided propos
als.
The resolution, maneuvered in
the main by the non-permanent
members following a plea by Ni
geria’s Chief Adebo that the
Council look for a middle road
between the USSR one-sided res
olution and the U. S. impartial
draft submitted by Ambassador
Goldberg, struck the disappoint
ed Arabs like a thunderbolt.
In essence, it condemned “the
violation of the cease-fire”; an
obvious reference to both sides.
It “regretted the casualties and
the loss of property” and reaf
firmed the necessity of the strict
observance of the cease-fire res
olutions. The draft closed with a
“demand that the Member States
(plural) concerned cease immed
iately all prohibited military ac
tivities in the area and cooperate
fully and promptly with the UN
Truce Supervision Organization."
Much credit for the adoption
of this resolution must go to the
Japanese President of the Coun
cil for the month of October, Sen-
jin Tsuruoka, who “organized the
small nations,” ten in number,
“as a stand-by and study group
ready to draft and to sponsor” a
resolution that would not be one
sided.
Credit for the unanimous adop
tion of the draft must also go to
Ambassador Goldberg— ever ac
tive behind the scenes during the
consi.il nations—whose own reso
lution was not much different
from the adopted one.
Old City Celebration
Draws Over 100,000
JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
largest crowd in Jerusalem’s
modem history, estimated at more
than 100,000 persons, assembled
last week opposite the walls of
Old Jerusalem at the Jaffa Gate
to join in the traditional Hakafot,
the ceremonial singing and danc
ing round observed at the serv
ice at the end of Sukkot. The
ceremony was led by President
Zalman Shazar.
All methods of counting peo
ple known to Israeli police failed
and officials could only say that

OPEN ALL NIGHT
And we must not overlook Is
rael’s Gideon Rafael who is re
turning to Jerusalem this month
to become the Director-General
of the Foreign Ministry. His
speech delivered a day prior to
the vote was a masterpiece equal
to any that the eloquent Abba
Eban had given here previous
sessions. “Reciprocity,” he told
the Council members, “is the very
essence of the cease-fire. If there
is no reciprocity as regards the
cessation of fire then naturally
the whole system collapses, I am
reminded of an Arabic saying,
‘Those who light a fire cannot
ask for protection from the
flames.’ Again and again, Israel
has emphasized its policy of strict
observance of the cease-fire on
the basis of reciprocity. The at
tack oh the destroyer Elath has
placed in jeopardy the oease-fire
obligations.”
Ambassador Rafael concluded
his statement with this appeal:
“We are again engaged in a vic
ious and dangerous circle, fol
lowed by such perseverance
with the UAR, of shooting ad
shouting and shouting and shoot
ing. Where does that lead to? To
more suffering and destruction.
The time has come to put a stop
to this folly. Israel again declares
that it is ready here and now,
tonight, under this very roof, to
meet representatives of the
United Arab Republic and of any
other Arab State and to discuss
Report Charges
Russian Generals
Direct UAR Army
PARIS (WUP)—Gerard Marin,
Le Figaro’s correspondent in Cai
ro, has reported from the UAR
capital that one thousand Soviet
advisers under the command of
six Russians generals are now
openly directing the reshuffled
Egyptian army.
Following the June debacle,
Marin stated, Russians “are no
longer letting the Egyptians man
age on their own. They have per
sonally taken in hand the train
ing of specialist officers. At cru
cial points they are practically
behind every rocket and gun
crew.”
Marin expressed the view that
the Soviets are doing this de
liberately, possibly to create a
“second inter national front”
against the Americans. He sug
gests that Moscow may be trying
to plaoe the Mideast in a pack
age that will include Vietnam,
hoping to trade a Soviet de-esca
lation in Cairo for a similar
American move in Saigon.
Nazi Cases Pending
NEW YORK (WUP)— Reuters
reports from Cologne, West Ger
many, that the office for the pros
ecution of Nazi criminals is still
processing 578 cases, according to
Rudolf Schieler, Justice Minister
for Raden-Wurttemberg who
wasn’t oertain whether all the
documents could be studied by
1969 when the statute of lim
itations will bar further prosecu
tion for war crimes.
the assembly must have exceed
ed 100,000. The previous record
was set on November 30, 1947,
when 30,000 Jews assembled in
the Jewish Agency courtyard to
celebrate the United Nations par-
ition of Palestine recommenda
tions.
with them all measures designed
to ensure security for all and to
lay the basis for a peaceful fu
ture.”
Rafael’s plea had fallen on deaf
Arab and Soviet ears. Even after
the unanimous vote by the Coun
cil, the Syrian spokesman for the
Arabs and Moscow’s Fedorenko
had to vent their anti-Israel feel
ings again in vituperative state
ments which Rafael didn’t take in
silence.
“I will not deign to answer the
slanderous allegations poured out
by the representative of Syria,”
he said. “They are as stale as
they are false; they are as vile
as they are perverse. A represen
tative of a country whose leaders
in the Second World War were
among the most ardent Nazi col
laborators, who had worked and
prayed for the Nazi victory,
comes here to praise the valiant
anti-Nazi resistance fighters. This
is the height of perversity and
it is a low in defilement of the
reistance fighters as well as of
the Nazi victims . . . Neither will
I argue here, at this hour, with
Ambassador Fedorenko, whose
monolithic and one-sided views
of events are by now well-estab
lished tradition . . ”
French Favor Israel
Despite de Gaulle
PARIS (JTA)— French-Israeli
friendship continues, despite the
position of the head of state—
meaning President de Gaulle —
according to Christian Pineau,
former Foreign Minister. He
made that statement in an article
in the newspaper Droit et Lib-
erte.
M. Pineau saw two reasons for
the French people’s “revulsion”
against Gen. de Gaulle’s M'ddle
East policy. First, he wrote, de
Gaulle wanted to . speak out
against the" United States. Sec
ondly, he “wants to keep the Al
gerian oil.” In spite of these at
titudes, however, M. Pineau de
clared, the French-Israeli friend
ship not only continues but of
fers the opportunity of continuing
in the future.

Prof. Yadin Reports Finding
Of Another Dead Sea Scroll
JERUSALEM (JTA)—Professor
Yigael Yadin has disclosed here
for the first time the discovery of
another Dead Sea Scroll, the
longest found to date, which is
estimated to be 2,000 years old
and contains, among other things,
a detailed description of the
Temple of Jerusalem.
Addressing a conference of the
Israel Exploration Society, the
archaelogist said there is no
doubt that the scroll was dis
covered in the Gumrun caves on
the shores of the Dead Sea but
that the circumstances of its ac
quisition cannot be revealed for
the time being. He did say, how
ever, that the new scroll had been
kept in Jordan illegally and was
in an extremely bad Rate of
preservation owing to daijttge re
ceiving in handling as well as to
its age.
Th scrolls, wrtten in Hebrew
on very fine parchment, measures
8.6 meters and has keen dated
to the Herodian period which is
in the second half of the first
oentury B.C.E. Its legible portions
contain four groups of subjects:
enumeration of sacrifices accord
ing to the feasts of Israel, ritual
rites including those pertaining
to uncleanliness and putrefaction,
a description of the Temple
giving minute details and meas
urements, and royal statues in
cluding mobilization orders in
preparation for a war.
