CLEVELAND — (JTA) — The
merger of Cleveland's two. cen-
tral Jewish . agencies into one
unified body, the Jewish Com-
munity Federation of Cleveland,
was effected here when the
general membership of the Jew-
ish Welfare Federation ratified
the merger plan which had pre-
viously been approved by the
Federation trustees and • the
delegates assembly and execu-
tive committee of the Jewish
Community Council.
Merger of the two agencies
into one central body marked
the culmination of three years
of work, study and organization
and the outcome is considered a
milestone in the life of the
Cleveland Jewish community.
"Key Jewish communities
throughout the country will
watch closely our adventure in
this new , approach and new
concept of community organiza-
tion„" Max Simon, who presided
et the Federation's ratification
meeting, declared.
The new agency provides for
a more representative adrninis-
trative procedure than its two
predecessors had. A delegate as-
sembly will consist of represent-
atives of each organization for-
merly in the Jewish Community
Council, plus an equal number
of delegates at large elected by
the general membership of the
Federation. The board of trus-
tees will include representation
of agencies supported by the
Federation, the delegate assem-
bly, congregations and members
at large.
The Jewish Welfare Federa-
tion, one of the first in the
country, was established 48
years ago. The Jewish Commun-
ity Council was set up in 1935.

UN Commission Sends Last Appeal
For Peace Talks to Arabs, Israel
PARIS; (JTA) — The United
Nations Ccinciliation- Commis- .
sion far Palestine this week
made what may be its, last ef-
fort to keep alive its "peace"
talks here with tihe Arabs and
the Israelis. The CommissiOn
sent to the delegations of Is-
rael, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon
and, Syria identical letters ap
pealing for discussion of the
Commission's five-point propos-
al for settling•probleins between
Israel and the Arab states.
Both sides were asked to no-
tify the ComniisSion before the
opening of the forthcoming UN
General Assembly meeting here
whether they were prepared to
discuss the five-point program.
The Commission's letter stressed
that the Commission "considers
it essential that it be in a po-
sition to submit a constructive
report on the Palestine situation
in general and on the outcome
of the present Paris meetings as
soon as possible after the open-
ing of the Assembly.
The Israeli delegation has
made it clear: that it considers
the Arab declaration of peace-
ful intent to be less than ade-
quate for continuation of direct
or indirect negotiations, as well
as falling far short of the re-
quirements of the UN Charter,
Security Council decisions on
Middle East. problems and the

WASHINGTON, (JTA)" — No
formal replies are expected from
Israel or the Arab States to pro-
posals made them concerning
the establishment of a Middle
East Command, Under - Secre-
tary of State James E. Webb
said this week. Both Israel and
the Arab States have been asked
for their views, however, he said.
He stressed that concrete pro-
posals for the: command would
have to be worked out in further
talks among the four sponsor-
lug powers, ,the United Statea,
Britain, France and Turkey. -
While Egyptian Foreign, Min
ister Mohammed - Salah el-Din
Pasha has reportedly invited the
foreign ministers of the Arab
States to Meet in Cairo to : dis-
cuss . the common policy towards
the Middle East Command pro-
posals, and indicated that Egypt
would press strongly for com-
plete support of her position,
there were indications that not
-all the . Arab States see eye to
eye with EgYpt.
Other Arab countries, it was
reported, notably Saudi Arabia
and the Lebanon appeared to
be willing to join such an al
