1,014 U. S. Educatois Oppose Politic Dr. Hellman Guest
Of Shaarey Zedek
Internationalization of Jerusalem

NEW YORK—An appeal to the
United States delegation to the
United Nations to take the in-
itiative in solving the Jerusalem
problem was made at Lake Suc-
cess today by more than 1,000
American educators who urged
international s u p ervision re-
stricted to the Holy Places in-
stead of the complete interna-
tionalization plan approved in
1949.
The petition, addressed to
President Truman, was made
public at Lake" Success by Dr.
Thomas Clark Pollock, Dean of
the College of Arts and Sciences
of New York University. chair-
man of the Educators Commit-
tee on the Status of Jerusalem.
Copies were presented to Nas-
rollah Entezam, president of the
General Assembly of the United
Nations, and to Trygve Lie, sec-
retary general of the United
Nations.
The 1,014 signers included 103
university and college presidents
and 191 deans from 46 states
and the District of Columbia.
More than 100 of the signatories
are on the staffs of theological
seminaries; over 30 are from
C 0.1 u b i a University, 55 from
New York University, 18 from
Boston University, 10 from Har-
vard.

The signatories emphasize
their belief that removal of
the uncertainty over the
status of Jerusalem will be
particularly valuable from the
educational point of view. Nor-
malized relations between Jor-
dan and Israel should lead to
the opening of the now block-
ed route to the Hebrew Uni-
versity. "It is tragic," the let-
ter states, "that in an area so
poor in educational.opportun-
ities as the Middle East, the
facilities of such a well equip-
ped institution as the Hebrew
University haVe been unused
for almost three years. Those
facilities have always been
dedicated to the study and
piogress of the entire Middle
East and, from the day of the
University's founding, ha ve-
been available to Arab and
Jew alike."

Pointing out that the United
Nations Trusteeship Council
had been compelled to admit
that political internationaliza-
tion of the Jerusalem area was
impossible without the coopera-
tion of Israel and Jordan, the
educators state that "unhappy
experience with international-
ized cities in years past should
warn us against trying to build
the peace of the world's most
revered city upon so uncertain a
foundation."
The legitimate international
interest in Jerusalem which is
primarily religious in nature,
can, they assert, be adequately
safeguarded by setting up a
special United Nations authority
to supervise the protection of
the Holy Places and access to
them; the observance of hu-
man rights and the return of
their rightful owners of all
church property in Palestine oc-
cupied by Jews or Arabs. The
political; economic and social
life of the Old and New Cities

should be left "to the normal
democratic processes of local
and national government."
The petition, addressed to
President Truman, included the
names of Professors Arthur S.
Aiton, Robert C. Angell, Dwight
C. Long, Henry W. Nordmeyer
and Preston Slosson, of the Uni-
versity of Michigan at Ann Ar-
bor; Dr. Byron J. Brophy, presi-
