Federations Vow Aid
to Program for Israel
WASHINGTON—(WNS)—The 19th annual assembly of the Council of Jewish Fed-
erations and Welfare Funds opened here under threat of fireworks and concluded on a
note of harmony when Julian Freeman, who was subsequently elected president of the
organization, announced that council leaders had no present intentions of seeking action
on a blueprint for a community-sponsored national campaign organization and the creation
of a Central Israel Fund, unifying all fund-raising campaigns on behalf of Israel.
Declaring that the Central Is-
rael Fund proposal had been ad-
vocated by the Council because
it would "represent a mobilization
of manpower and concentration
of forces" with a "powerful im-1;
pact on the whole Jewish com-
znunity and give fund-raising for ;
Israel a tremendous lift," Freeman
asserted that the plan could not be ,
carried out without the consent
of the Jewish Agency and the
Zionist organizations and that no
such consent has been received.
As to the proposal for a com-
munity-sponsored national cam-
paign organization, Freeman as-
serted that the plan was held in
readiness in the event of a future
emergency, adding that the "blue-
print was not drawn up in an-
ticipation of a UJA crisis in 1951"
and that it was "not intended to
displace the UJA" or "as a com-
petition to the UJA."
Opposition to the Council pro-
posals for coordinating fund-
•raising for Israel and direct
transmission of welfare fund allo-
cations to Israel was+ voiced by
the Jewish Agency.

LAKE SUCCESS — (Special) — The Special Political
Committee of the UN Assembly voted Wednesday, 43 to five,
with five abstentions, for a four-power resolution urging Is-
rael and the Arab nations to settle their differences through
negotiations and to treat the refugees without discrimination.
(
The motion was proposed by
the United States, Britain, France
and Turkey and amended by
China. It recommends that the
UN Conciliation Commission act
as mediator and also provides
that the commission establish an
office for the payment of com-
pensation of refugees as well as
to protect their interests.
The General Assembly will

now be asked to approve the
resolution.
Peace and stability in the Near
East, the resolution said, demand
that the refugee question be
dealt with "as a matter of
urgency."
The UN Assembly adopted a
similar resolution on Dec. 11,
1948. Thus it was now decided to
make another attempt and to
work out "such arrangements as
may be practicable for the imple-
mentation of other objectives" of
the measure taken two years ago.
What these arrangements may, be
will be determined as things de-
velop.
Russia tried unsuccessfully to
kill the conciliation commission
because "it has proved incapable
of discharging its duty."
Moshe Sharett, Israel's foreign
minister, informed the commit-
tee of his country's willingness to
enter negotions with the Arab
states and to accept the good of-
fices of the commission if that
was necessary.
The Jordan representative as-
serted that no good could come of
negotiations until Israel abided
by the Arab conception of rights
in Palestine.
