U. S. Tanker Owners
Ask Protest Against
Egypt's Suez Rules
NEW YORK, (JTA)—The Na-.-
tional Federation of American
Shipping was requested to call
on the State Department and
ask the U. S. to register a pro-
test with the Egyptian Govern-
ment against' Egypt's new regu-
lations which aim to prevent
passage of oil tankers to Israel
through the Suez Canal.
The request was made by the
tankers committee of the
American Merchant Marine - In-
stitute, whichoemphasized- that
the new Egyptian regulations
were beyond the bounds of the
Suez Canal Convention„,which
is an international authority
under international control. The
committee also pointed out that
the Egyptian regulations con-
stitute an unjustifiable inter-
ference with international trade.
American tanker owners and
operators have been warned by
Egyptian officials that force will
be used if necessary to detain
tankers believed to be bound for
Israel and without final clear-
ance certificates. In addition
they will have-to produce a dec-
laration from the customs offi-
cials at the port of destination
certifying that their cargo was
really discharged there and that
it was for local consumption.
This document must be counter-
signed by the Egyptian consul
and produced at Suez within
one month after the tanker dis-
charged its cargo.
LONDON, (JTA)—Representa-
tives of the Board of Deputies
of British Jews, the South Afri-
can Board of Jewish Deputies
and Bnai Brith—the three or-
ganizations which have a joint
representation as a consultative
body at the United Nations—
met with representatives of oth-
er Jewish organizations which
enjoy similar rights- at the UN
to discuss the coordination of
Jewish efforts before interna-
tional bodies.
Participating in ,the meeting
were representativeg - of Agudas
Israel, World Jewish Congress
and Anglo-Jewish Association,
which is represented jointly.
with the American Jewish Com-
mittee. All participants were
pledged to secrecy. However, it
is understood that nothing was
Achieved, although in principle
all organizations represented at
the meeting acknowledged the
necessity for cooperation.
The difficulty in bringing the
various Jewish groups to united
action seemed to be claims by
the World Jewish Congress
which cannot be reconciled with
the determination of the other
Jewish groups to maintain their
independence.
One . of the South African
delegates predicted that none of
the Jewish groups engaged in
international work will give way
to the other groups. "It must,
therefore, be assumed that all
will continue to operate," he
said. On the other hand, the
South African delegation, which
is the largest from the Domin
ions, is pressing strongly for
greater coordination of efforts
of the Jewish organizations, es-
pecially in presenting the Jew-
ish case to international bodies.

Denounced by Auster
JERUSALEM, (JTA) --

Mayor Daniel Auster of this city
declared at a meeting of the

He added that the extremists.

prove the necessity for inter-
nationalization of the Holy City
as advocated by that small mi-
nority." Stringent police meas-
ures were demanded by Auster
to cope with the situation.
The only road from the New
City — held by Israel — to the
Old City, held by. Jordan, passes
through the Mea Shearim quar-
ter, inhabited chiefly by follow-
ers of the Neturei Karta ultra-
religious sect, which considers
vehicular traffic on the Sab-
bath a desecration.
