Ridicules
Charges
of Sniping

LAUSANNE—(Special)—Israel
told the UN officially that she
would not accept complete inter-
national rule of Jerusalem under
at.y circumstances.
The demand for international-
ization of the Holy City was
made to the Conciliation Com-
mission by the Arab states.
Meantime, in Tel-Aviv, a
government spokesman denied
charges by Gen, John Bagot
Glubb, the Arab Legion's British
commander , that Israeli soldiers
had begun general sniping along
the front.
"Such a claim' suggests a
familiar tactic of Glubb, of ac-
cusing the other side in advance
of preparing an action which he
himself has in mind." the spokes-
man said.
With confirmation of reports
that King Abdullah's popularity
in Arab Palestine was vanishing.
Foreign Minister '81 - tarett pro-
posed that a plebiscire"W . held
in that area to determine wheth-
er the inhabitants preferred a
separate state or annexation to
Transjordan.
Sharett revealed that refugee
families of Arabs in Israel would
be permitted to return.
Evidence of bad blood among
the Arabs themselves was furn-
ished with the revelation that at
least a brigade of Iraqi troops
was camped in Transjordan close
to the Syrian frontier.
They are believed stationed
there as a barrier to possible ag-
gression by Syria's bellicose dic-
tator, Col. Zayim.
According to the N. Y. Times,
"internal tensions among the
Arabs are increasing sharply
with bitterness and recrimination
over the Palestine debacle as a
stimulating factor."

Jews Honor Barkley Butchers Bid
to Peace Talks Council Hails Aaron Droock,

Vice-President Alban W. Barkley (center) receives an honorary
Doctor of Humane Letters from Dr. Abraham A. Neuman (left),
president of the Dropsie College. Looking on (right) is Eliahu
Elath, first Israel ambassador to the United States, who received
an honorary Doctor of Laws. Four men—two Rabbis and two
ministers—received their doctorates in philosophy from American
Jewry's highest institution of learning, which only confers the
degree of Doctor a Philosophy.

Announcing a two-week ex-
tension of the partial "boycott"
of Kosher meat markets here by
housewives, the Jewish Commu-
nity Council issued a -statement
this week inviting the butchers
to meet with Council representa-
tives for an exchange of views.
Meantime, the Council report-
ed, evident gains have been
scored by the housewives in the
past three weeks of their self-
imposed price limitation program.
The "boycott" is scheduled to end
June 30.
The Council pointed out that
despite a spurt in wholesale
prices, the Kosher butchers have
not put a higher schedule in
effect. Many more cuts and prices
are on display in show-caseS, the
Council added.
"It is becoming common prac-
tice for the butcher to itemize
delivery orders stating prices per
pound," the statement said.
"These gains are not sufficient.
and the practices of the Kosher
butchers will not be stabilized
until a bulletin board is placed
in every shop."
Negotiations are still underway
to bring frozen Kosher meat into
Detroit, the report said.

Lists New Slate of Officers

Aaron Droock, retiring presi-
dent of the Jewish Community
Council, was acclaimed as a
builder of a strong community
by Harry Yud-
!toff, executive
committee mem-
ber, at the elec.
tion meeting of
the Council last
week which saw
Dr. S h
r y a
Kleinman take
over the presi-
dency. Droock
completed four
successive years
Droock
as Council head.
Other new officers are Rabbi
Morris Adler, Dr. B. Benedict
Glazer and Sidney M. Shevitz,
vice-presidents; Louis . Rosen-
zweig, treasurer; and Irving
Schlussel, secretary.
The following were elected to
the executive committee: Law-
rence Crohn, Rabbi Leon Fram,
Benjamin Laikin, Alfred May,
Harry Yudkoff, Morris Lieber-
man, Samuel Brainin, Leogard
Simons, Jacob Kellman, Evelyn
Linden and Sol Schkloven.

''The Jewish Community Coun-
cil," Droock pointed out in his
report to the delegates, "is not
solely and exclusively a commun-
ity relations agency as many per-
sons are mistakenly led to be-
lieve.
"It is an over-all Jewish com-
munity organization serving in its
constituency practically all „Jew-
ish life in Deyoit in every area
of Jewish interest."
Boris M. Joffe, the Council ex-
ecutive director, asked that all or-
ganizations study the report of
the Council's activities "What
Has Been Done." The booklet
reviews the Council work in the
fields of community leadership,
discrimination. cultural and edu-
cational activities, interfaith rela-
tions, and internal problems of
the community.
In 12 months, according to the
booklet, 316 programs were ar-
ranged for Detroit organizations
which were attended by 32,001
persons. In addition, 28.004
others attended programs spon-
sored directly by the Council
or in cooperation with other
groups.
