Egypt Fights Peace
Terms with Israel
LAUSANNE (JTA) — A firm
declaration that no Egyptian
government will sign a peace
with Israel as long as the two
countries have a common fron-
tier was made by the head of
the Egyptian delegation, Mo-
hammed Abdel Moneim, prior to
the presentation of the formal
Arab reply to the questionnaire
of the UN Conciliation Com-
mission in which all delegations
were asked to specify their ter-
ritorial demands.
The Arab reply was couched
in general terms and was far
more extreme than recent dis-
cussions would seem to have
warranted. The Arabs requested
that the frontiers be fixed with-
in the 1947 partition decision
of the United Nations, but re-
served for themselves the right
to make further claims for rea-
sons of security.
The _ head of the Egyptian
delegation said that whether or
not Israel retains Western Gali-
lee, Egypt would insist on the
establishment of a buffer state
which would provide a security
zone for her in southern Pales
tine. Egypt would also insist
that the entire area south of
Isdud to the Gulf of Akaba be
turned over to Arab authority,
he said.
Eliahu Sasson, acting head of
the Israel delegation and ex-
pert on Arab affairs, said that
he was confident, despite the
Egyptian statement, that a solu-
tion would be found to Israel's
relations with the Cairo regime.

Mo., Sept. 27 to 30 for a con-
vention of the Christian Na-
tionalist Crusade.
Meanwhile, the Crusade's di-
rector, Gerald L. K. Smith, has
taken - to slandering the dead.
The late Rabbi Stephen S. Wise
is very crudely maligned in an
editorial by Smith in the cur-
rent issue of his hate sheet,
"The Cross and Flag." The edi-
torial, h o w e v e r, inadvertently
pays tribute to the effectiveness
of Jewish organizations.
Nazi Press Revival
Awaited in Germany
"is the name of a great Ameri-
can. In the eyes of the Jews,
Richards committed the un-
pardonable sin. He allowed his
radio station to be used as an
outlet to a network of 60 sta-
tions when Rev. Charles E.
Coughlin exposed th,e Jew and
cited the proper authority con-
cerning their international con-
spiring activities.
"The Jews did not rest until
they had played politics in
Rome, Washington, Detroit, and
elsewhere in such a way as to
silence Rev. Coughlin. Some
months ago Rabbi Stephen Wise,
now deceased, started a cam-
MUNICH (JTA) — A flood of
106 German newspapers, with
about four out of five keeping
the same names as they had
under the Nazi regime, will ap-
pear throughout Bavaria in the
next few days with the lifting
of military government licensing
laws,. Reuters reported.
An American military govern-
ment spokesman said he ex-
pected the majority of the pub-
lications "to revive chauvinism,
rabble-rousing, feeling against
displaced persons, anti-Semitism
and anti-Americanism," the re-
port said. "The nightmare of
the return of large numbers of
former Nazi pliblishers in the
newspaper field now becomes a
realitk," he added.
Among those who it was re-
ported- intend to publish are
Max Willmay, former publisher
of 'the notorious Jew - baiting
paper "Der Stuermer," which
was edited by Julius Streicher,
hanged at Nuremberg as a war
criminal. It was also reported
that the reactionary publishers
have organized- an association—
named Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft

tal of 2,000,000 marks to drive

dollars which he had made in
these powerful stations. I say
steal advisedly because the cam-
paign was to cancel Richards'
permit to operate radio stations.
To cancel a permit is to destroy
the investment and make the
wave length available to some-
one else.
"Such Gestapo organizations
and extremist groups as the
American Jewish Congress,
headed by Rabbi Wise, the Anti-
Defamation League, which is
the Gestapo of the Bnai Brith,
the Jewish Labor Committee
which specializes in meddling
in such matters and the Jew-
ish War. Veterans who fre-
quently carry on terrorist and
storm troop activities together
with numerous other Jewish
organizations such as the
Community Relations C o m-
mittee of Los Angeles, the
Jewish Community Council of
Detroit and the Jewish Com-
munity Council of Cleveland
—these groups are spending
thousands or dollars and
carrying on intense campaigns
to deny free speech and free
air to Mr. Richards and his
organization."
Entitled, "The Ruthless Ghost
of Rabbi Wise", the editorial
accuses the late leader of at-
tempting to "steal" from G.
A. Richards, owner of radio
stations, who faces charges
before the Federal Communi-
cations Commission of order-
ing anti-Semitism injected in
radio newscasts.
"G. A. Richards," Smith wrote,
Smith says he is now selling
t h e Anti-Defamation League's
book, "How Secure These
Rights?", which exposes him, for
$3.00 a copy. He writes that the
"Jewish Gestapo will be .sur-
prised," but he wants the world
to see "the desperate and Sa-
tanic attempt of these Jews to
destroy Christian Americans." •
During the last week, repre-
sentatives of the Council and
the Council of Orthodox Rabbis
discussed the perennial problem
of "mushroom synagogues."
The following two resolutions
were passed by the joint com-
mittee:
1) The committee reaffirths
its stand against the creation
of any "mushroom syna-
gogues" in any part of our
community.
2). The committee further
urges existing synagogues to
