WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Mrs. aimed against the United Na-
William A. Becker, a former pre-
sident of the Daughters of the
American Revolution and chair-
tuna of the advisory committee
of the "Women's Patriotic Con-
ference on National Defense,"
refused to apologize for presen-
ing to the parley Joseph P. Kamp
who delivered an anti Semitic
address at the conference. The
protest was made, after Kamp
spoke, by representatives of the
Womens' Auxiliary of the Jewish
War Veterans who were among
the 2,000 delegates of 35 national
organizations which partici-
pated.
Although they were not given
an opportunity to reply from the
platform to Kamp's attack on
the Bnai Brith Anti-Defamation
League, the JWV women were
told by Mrs. Becker that she
might rem o v e a portion of
Kamp's remarks from the record
of the meeting but that she
would neither repudiate the
speaker nor apologize in any
way for his appearance.
A spokesman for JWV auxi-
liary said after the conference
closed that the JWV would con-
tinue participation in the annual
conferences. The JWV sponsored
a resolution against Communism
which was adopted. Another de-
cision of the conference was
tions Convention on Genocide
and Human Rights which was
condemned as subversive.
Lt. Comdr. Vincent W Hart-
nett, who described the "Red
Star over the show business,"
named a number of Jews in a
McCarthy-like attack on show
people. Major Racey Jordan, who
is reported to have made anti-
Jewish remarks before meetings
in various cities, spoke to the
women. Sen. Joseph R. McCar-
thy, who is known for his aid to
Nazi war criminals, was a feat-
ured speaker and received a tre-
mendous ovation.
New York — Additional hun-
dreds of tons of machinery,
medical units, foodstuffs and
other supplies will soon be ship-
ped to Israel under the Aid to
Israel program of the Zionist
Organization of America for dis-
tribution to Israel's veterans and
for use in various Israel colonies
adopted by the ZOA, it was re-
ported by Louis A. Falk, chair-
man of the ZOA projects fund,
and Fred Monosson, chairman
of the ZOA Israel projects com-
mittee.
Israel Parliament Backs Korea Stand
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Is-
rael Parliament has given the
government a vote of confidence
on foreign policy, including the
Israel position on Korea. The
vote was 56 to 29, with six ab-
stentions.
Foreign Minister Moshe Shar-
ett defended his policy at the
UN, disclosing that "certain
powers" asked Israel to take the
initative in. an attempt to medi-
ate a peace settlement.
He also declared that Israel
is not safe from attack, invasion
and occupation and must, there-
fore, prepare for every eventua-
lity. It must obtain food and
arms in "every corner of the
world" which, he pointed out,
leads to increasing Israel de-
pendence on the world.
Turning to the question of
peace with the Arab states, Mr.
Sharett said the Jewish state is
ready to conclude peace with
each of her four neighbors on
the basis of status quo.
He warned, however, that any
attempt to change the status
quo would mean war and that
"the results of such a war would
decide future territorial ar-
rangements."

Rabbi Schultz for
'Slur' on Marshall
Several major national and
local Jewish organization have
denounced as "infamous" slurs
made upon Defense Secretary
George C. Marshall and Admiral
Chester W. Nimitz by Rabbi
Benjamin Schultz, national di-
rector of the American Jewish
League Against Communism.
"Such irresponsible attacks,"
the statement said, "impair
the fight against Commun-
ism."
In a speech in Washington
on Jan. 27, Rabbi Schultz had
charged that Secretary Marshall
is a "fall guy" in a plot to
shield pro-Red activities; and
that Admiral Nimitz, recently
named chairman of the Presi-
dent's Commission on Internal
Security and Individual Rights,
had a "bad" record "on toler-
ance of pro-Communists."
The denunciation of Rabbi
Schultz is made in a statement
released by the National Com-
munity Relations A d visor y
Council. R a b b i Schultz, the
statement declared, "in no way
represents any section of the
American Jewish community."
