JERUSALEM—The 23rd World Zionist Congress was
busy Tuesday in setting up 10 commissions to prepare reso-
lutions for adoption by the final Congress session.
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, president of the Congress, said
the commissions must conclude their work within three
and one half days. He expressed the hope that the Congress
will conclude on Aug. 28.
The delegates to the Zionist Congress on Monday par-
ticipated in ceremonies honoring Israel's war dead at the
Military Cemetery on Mt. Herzl overlooking the city.
The procession of delegates led by members of the
World Zionist Executive, including Premier David Ben-
Gurion and Dr. N. Goldmann, made its way up the hill
behind a color guard bearing a large wreath on which was
inscribed: "From the 23rd World Zionist Congress to Is-
rael's Heroes." As an infantry unit stood at attention, Dr.
Goldmann spoke briefly of "our grateful recognition of
those who died for Jerusalem and the establishment of the
state." Taps were then sounded and the prayer for the dead
was recited.
More American Jewish youth will immigrate to Israel
"If the right approach is used," Dr. Morton Robbins, nation-
al chairman of the American Youth Commission, told the
Congress.
Chief Rabbi Isaac Herzog, in a special sermon heard by
many Congress leaders and delegates, pleaded with Jews
from overseas, and particularly the United States, to come
to Israel.
It is reported that two seats in the Jewish Agency ex-
ecutive have been offered to the Zionist Organization of
America, for Benjamin G. Browdy, its president, and Dr.
Emmanuel Neumann, its former president, with the proviso
that Dr. Neumann assume duties in Israel. The ZOA, how-
ever, is reported insisting on the designation of these two
men without conditions.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.—The UN Security Council session which
was scheduled for Tuesday morning, to act on the resolution calling upon Egypt
to stop interfering with Israel-bound shipping, was postponed until Monday at
the request of Selim Sarper, the Turkish delegate to the UN.

Mr. Sarper communicated with Warren Austin, the UN Council president, and in-
formed the American spokesman that he felt sure there was another way of getting
the Egyptian government to, lift its blockade of Israeli traffic at the Suez Canal than
adoption of the three-power resolution. Mr. Sarper asked that members of the Security
Council be polled on a tri-power resolution urging Egypt to end the Suez blockade.

Eight UN Council Members Support Rebuke to Egypt

FLUSHING MEADOW, N. Y—(JTA) —Prior to the last-minute postponement of

the UN Security Council meeting until next Monday, it appeared certain that the res-
olution calling on Egypt to end its blockade of Israeli shipping would be adopted, eight
members of the Council having announced their support of the measure.
The resolution was submitted to the Council jointly by the United States, Great
Britain and France after Egypt had been given a final week's grace in which to act vol-
untarily to eliminate the grievance.
In addition to the three sponsoring powers, Turkey, Yugoslavia and Brazil, whose
delegation had sought to secure action by Egypt through last-minute negotiations, and
Ecuador and the Netherlands announced th ey would vote for the resolution. Nationalist
China and India announced they would ab stain from voting. The eleventh member of
the Council, the Soviet Union, is also expect ed to abstain.
Egyptian delegate Mahmoud Fawji Bey, in a bitter, eleventh-hour attempt to prevent
action on the Israeli complaint, sought unsuccessfully to have the resolution's sponsors
ruled interested parties to the dispute and, as such, ineligible to vote. He openly warned
the Council that Egypt would refuse to he ed the resolution which he assailed as an
infringement of Egypt's sovereignty.
In a statement supporting the resolution, U. S. Ambassador Warren R. Austin
told the Council that the United States felt that in dropping the restrictions Egypt
could brill.- about peace between Israel and the Arab countries. The American Gov-
ernment,
bring said, had hoped that through "friendly" representations made by the
United States and other governments, Egypt might become convinced of the wisdom
of lifting the restrictions voluntarily. However, he pointed out, these representations
had been to no avail, and the Security Co uncil now has no choice but to adopt the
proposed resolution.
Sir Gladwyn Jebb, head of the British delegation, told the UN Council that Egypt's
restrictions were "inconsistent" with the ob jectives of ,a peaceful settlement between
Israel and Arab states.
French representative Francis Lacoste spoke in a similar vein.

Arabs Won't Sit at Same Table with Israeli Envoys

House Adopts Israel Grant;
Deletion Effort Is Beaten

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The Arab states have not yet taken a decision on the Pal-
estine Conciliation Commission's bid to a peace meeting in Paris. Lebanese Minister
Charles Malik told newsmen his "guess was that the Arabs won't be prepared to meet
with the Israelis around the table" but would probably be ready to meet "indirectly,
as they did two years ago."

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The House last week-end gave
final approval to the Administration's » foreign aid program,
which includes 573,500,000 in grants for Israel. The Senate For-
eign Relations Committee took up the bill this week.
Before the final vote was taken the House decisively re-
jected a move to delete from the bill a $50,000,000 grant to Is-
rael to aid immigrants. The motion to cut off this aid was of-
fered by Rep. Harold Cooley, Democrat of North Carolina, who
said that past aid to Israel "has not been in the interests of
peace." Rep. Cooley's amendment was defeated 146-65.

TEL AVIV, (JTA)—President Weizma nn invited Mapai leader David Ben.-Gurion to
attempt to form a new Government.
Immediately after his return to Jerusalem, Premier Ben-Gurion summoned left-
wing Socialist leaders to discuss the possibility of their entering the Cabinet. Meir
Yaari, Jacob Chasan and Itzhak Bar Ye huda, who represented the Soviet-oriented
Mapam Party, spent nearly two hours outlining to Mr. Ben-Gurion their conditions for
joining a coalition government. They were scheduled to confer with Ben-Gurion again.
Mapam circles indicated that among the conditions set forth by the left-wing Social-
ists was one that the coalition would not include the right-wing Herut Party.

ROSEN and OSCAR M. LIFSHUTZ are shown officiating at
a special memorial service for American Jewish GIs killed in
the Korean war. Held at the United Nations Cemetery in Pu-
san in the presence of a congregation of Jewish officers and
GIs, the service was in keeping with the traditional program
of religiotis activities conducted by Jewish chaplains recruited,
endorsed and served by the Division of Religious Activities of

ice, the chaplains and GI congregation visited each grave
marked by the star of David and paused for appropriate pray-
ers and the Kaddish..
