Eban Hits Arabs in United Nations
For Handling of Refugee Problem

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
("JTA)—Ambassador Abba Eban,
head of Israel's delegation at
the United Nations, told the UN
Ad Hoc Political Committee that
if the Arab countries did for the
Arab refugees what Israel had
clone for its new immigrants,
there would be no Arab refugee
problem. He emphasized that
it was Arab politics that h - d pre-
vented re-integration • of .Pales-
tine refugees in Arab countries.
Eban said that Arab refugees
were "in the truest sense, at
home in the Arab countries,"
particularly in those • with a
shortage of manpower. There
could have been "spontaneous
re-integration," but it had been
c-o nsciously prevented," he
charged. The Arab governMents,
he declared, had initiated "an
ill ;7 considere military ad-
venture" and bore primary re-
sponsibility for . the refugee
problem. "You cannot let loose
a war and wash your hands of
all • responsibility," he stated.
.Eban announced that Israel
would support the resolution
submitted by France, Turkey,
the United Kingdom and the
United States, authorizing the
United Nations Relief and Work
Agency to increase its relief
budget for the present year to
$23,000,000. He said that this
was an expression of confidence
in the United Nations Relief
and Work Agency. The resolu-
tion was carried by a vote of
-50-0 with seven absentions in-
eluding Iraq.

Eban told the session that Israel
had received two requests from
the United Nations and, despite
; the cost and the hardships they
caused to, the country's economy,
had complied. They were the re-
lease of the bank deposits of
the Arab refigees and the as-
sumption of the responsibility
I for 19,000 Arab refugees now in

! Israel.

Earlier, Israel delegate Arthur
Lourie told the committee in a
sharp retort to persistent Arab
attacks on Israel during the de-
bate that "the voice of Nazism.
is being heard in the United
Nations."
Referring to a violent speech
by Dr. Fadhil al-Jamali, Iraqi
delegate, who, asserted that the
Jews have- forfeited any moral
or material claims unless they
granted the legitimate rights of
the Arabs in Palestine," the Is-
rael spokesman denounced the
Iraqi as one known for his
Nazi sympathies during World
War II. Incensed by the Iraqi's
comparison of treatment of the
Jews- by Hitler with treatment
of the Arabs in Palestine, the
Israel spokesman had leaked to
his - feet to challenge the Arab
assertions in advance of the
formal Israel reply.

N OPEN LETTER

To the President. of -
Detroit's Sinai Hospital

Dear Mr. Osnos :

enson has named Norman N.
Eiger, chairman of the Illinois -
state board of review on unem-
ployment compensation, to the
Municipal Court .bench here.

Forest in Israel to Honor 'Temchin

•

We take this means of presenting the question of Kashruth in the Jewish
_Hospital before the public, since our repeated presentations to the Board of Sinai
Hospital have failed to meet with success.

We maintain that Sinai Hospital as an institution of the Jewish community
must fully adhere to the tradition and discipline of the Jewish dietary laws. It
is, of course, understood, that certain special diets dictated by purely medical
considerations shall not be- covered by the general policy of Kashruth.

A hospital known by Jews and non-Jews as a Jewish hospital must not
violate traditions sacred to many Jews. We have no desire to exert coercion in
4lie private conduct of an individual. An institution, however, is representative
of the Jewish community and of Jewish life as a whole and has no right to flout
-practices which have been part of the Jewish way of life throughout the ages,
practices which still claim the loyalty of large numbers of our people.
The refusal of your Board to reconsider its original decision to have kosher
: facilities for only a fraction of its patients, violates the basic principles expressed
above and runs counter to the sentiments of the majority of Jews in our commun-
ity.

•

In the face of failure in our negotiations with the Board we convened a
meeting of Jewish organizational representatives on Monday, October 27th. The
spontaneous response Surprised even us who had always believed that we were
expressing- the wilt of Detroit Jewry. Men and women came in such large numbers
that we had to take the meeting to the auditorium of the Jewish Center on
Davison. Even here the space was insufficient. Landsmanshaften, lodges, fra-
ternities, veterans' groups, synagogues—all spoke as with one voice through their
representatives-2-expressing their indignation at the thought that our Jewish
hospital should be anything but completely kosher. Observant and non-Observant
Jews alike were unanimous in their demand that our hospital should honor the
traditions by which our people has lived.

Their sentiment was deep and strong. It revealed an unwavering determ-
ination to resist any decision which, in the words of one of the speakers, would
"build a ghetto for Jews who wish to keep Kashruth."

Prayerfully we ask you to reconsider this entire matter, to respect the will
of multitudes of Jews and to make the Jewish hospital worthy of its sacred func-
tion as a Jewish institution.
It is no shame to admit error. It is a trait . of greatness to review one's
judgment and to accept the overwhelming wish of the community.
