Reporting that a number of ships passing northward through the Suez Canal recently had left Port Said without final clearance papers. Al Misry said that in the future masters of such ships would be fined 2 to 20 pounds, Egyptian ($5 to $50). Force would be used, to detain full gasoline tankers without final clearance certificates, it in- dicated. Shipowners have complained about Port Said clearance delays that have often involved them in uneconomic demurrage charges. Britain protested to Egypt in May 1949 over shipping deten- tions, asserting they constituted a violation of the terms of the Suez Canal Convention on unre- stricted passage for ships of all flags.

In Washington, informed sources made it clear this week that the three-power arrange- ment for arms shipments to the Middle East will be reviewed in the light of the Korean war and that shipments will be halted to states that refuse to identify themselves with the anti-Com- munist front. Considerable concern was man- ifest in London over the spread of anti-American propaganda in the Arab States. The British- controlled Near East Arabic radio warned the Arabs this week that Egyptian Army's recent maneu- vers proved conclusively that Egypt could not defend the vital Suez Canal area against attack despite the supply of modern arms to that country. Isracliimport,Br Drop- thS.-lraper8.' JERUSALEM — (Special) — Because the government has not granted foreign exchange quotas since February, no more Ameri. can, Canadian and French news- papers and magazines will be im- ported to Israel. The importers, who have been receiving publications on credit, fear that the Israeli pound may be devaluated and, since they have large dollar debts, they would be ruined. Russian publications continue to enter the country because the Russians accept payment in local currency. British publications will also continue to arrive un- der the recent agreement releas- ing Israeli sterling reserves held in Britain.

Asserting that the "exact na- ture and locale" of these perils cannot be predicted, Dr. Gold- stein reported, however, that in the past three years the World Jewish Congress has had to in- tervene to protect the status of Jews in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Ye- men, Aden. Iran, Bahrein, Alge- ria and Pakistan. "There is a clear and present danger that the neo-Nazi, ex- treme rightist, militarist nation- alist element in Western Ger- many, to realize their anti-dem- ocratic aims. might seek to bar- gain at the expense of the ideals for which we fought World War II," he said. There are in West Germany today 23 splinter groups of a vi- cious nationalist character, he added, "quite apart from the ex- treme nationalism manifested by parties represented in the coali- tion government and by the ap- pointment of diehard Nazis to high posts in the Bonn govern- ment." 1 First Jewish GI Killed in Korea NEW YORK — The first Jew- ish casualty among the American armed forces in Korea is Private, First Class, Bruce Braverman of New York, according to the Na- tional Jewish Welfare Board which this week resumed the compilation of Jewish war rec- ords and related functions tradi- tionally. assigned to it by the Jew- ish community.

Stanley served overseas but his father saw duty only in this country in both wars. • • • CHICAGO — Ben Sternberg, midwest area director of JWB's armed services division, was the bearer of good tidings to Mrs. H. Bittman, of Chicago, when he ad- vised her that a newspaper dis- patch reporting that her son, Capt. Hammond Bittman, had been shot down and presumably killed in Korea, was untrue. Sternberg received a long dis- tance phone call on July 13 from Shea Schwartz, Pacific Coast area director of JWB's armed service division, who had gotten a cable from Chaplain Meyer Goldman in the Far East, saying he had spok- en to Capt. Bittman and that he was alive and well. Since Bitt- man couldn't contact his parents because of security reasons, he had his message conveyed through the Jewish chaplain and via JWB. Capt. Bittman, who was a pris- oner of war for 18 months in World War II, is a bombardier. On June 28th his plane was re- ported shot down near American headquarters in Korea and straf- ed by the North Koreans after landing. Having heard that his presum- ed death was reported by an American newspaper, he utilizAd JWB to get word home to his parents who had not heard from him in seven weeks.

"They are non dues-paying members and receive the Jewish Veteran, the national publication, free of charge while they are in the service. All dues will be waived by comrades now in Jew- ish War Veterans who re-enter the armed service during this emergency. ''We would like to keep in touch with our Jewish soldiers via a hometown news letter giv- ing each Jewish serviceman inti- mate news of our community. We further urge the Jewish com- munity, during the Jewish Holi- day observance, to conduct spe- cial programs for Jewish service- men. "Our office and Memorial Home at 4095 Davison west, are open to all servicemen regardless of faith, creed or color. They are welcome to meet their comrades of other wars and enjoy our facilities while in and around Detroit." Jew, 78, Sends Check to Truman SANTA, MONICA -- (WNS)- Dave Epstein, a 78-year-old Jew who was born in Poland, ex- pressed his appreciation for his adopted country by sending a $100 check to President Truman to help America in its fight against aggression. In a letter to the President, signed "Dave The Bellboy," the old man wrote that he was moved toward his "humble donation to help our country" after lis- tening to Mr. Truman's broad- cast to the nation.
