Keshenever-Bessarabier to Honor 25th
Anniversary by Planting Israel Grove
Kesh.enever Bessarabier Aid Society this week resolved to
plant a grove of a minimum of 1,000 trees, in Jewish National
Fund forests in Israel, to mark the society's 25th anniversary.
The agreement for thiS action was concluded by .representa-
tives of the Jewish National Fund Council and the Keshenever-
Bessarabier Society, from the left: IRVING W. SCHLUSSEL, chair-
man of the JNF board; LOUIS IL COHEN and LOUIS BASSIN,
financial secretary and president of the society, and WILLIAM
HORDES, president of the..INF Council.
Keshenever-Bessarabier Society, in the 25 years of its exist-
ence, has aided its kinsmen overseas, has provided relief to the
needy locally and has aided the 'Allied Jewish Cmpaign and other
drives. •
, The planting of the Keshenever-Bessarabier Grove in Israel
was decided upon by agreement with the local JNF Council as
well as the JNF office in Jerusalem whose Overseas secretary, K
Marton, wrote the society's officers ' from Israel that the planned
grove will be planted in the Yaar Hagiborim—the Forest of the
Heroes—and that the trees "will cover the barren Judean hill-
sides."
Mr. Hordes expressed the hope that other local organizations
will follow the example of this society and will plant groves in
Israel.
British Back Jordan Border
Complaints Against Israel
The seriousness with which
Israel regarded the situation
was reflected • in the abrupt
termination of his vacation by
Premier David Ben-Gurion to.
return to Jerusalem for an
extraordinary cabinet meeting
on the situation. When the
issue was raised in Parlia-
ment, Foreign Minister Moshe
Sharett assured the house that
the government was closely
following developments.
- JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Serious
deterioration in the Israel border
situation continued to cause
concern here and a flurry of
activity in Western capitals.
_As Israel forces took protec-
tive action against infiltree bas-
es along the frontier, the Israel
authorities vigorously protested
to. the Mixed Armistice Commis-
sion.

Slates Annual `Purimshpeir
Arab talks _ in Cairo, said that
he thought it was possible that
the implementation of the Ger-
man - Israel reparations pact
would coincide with the imple-
mentation of German t r ad e
pacts with the Arabs, which will
be concluded soon as a result
of the Cairo discussions.
The spokesman said that the
"simple purpose" of the German
delegation which is now in Cairo
is to work out the basis for the
trade agreements with the Arab
states. A report received here
said that a trade delegation
from Communist East Germany
is expected in Cairo this week
to discuss expansion of the cur-
rent barter agreement in effect
between East Germany and
Egypt.
It was revealed that Egypt
h a d demanded a long-term
credit of $250,000,000 from West
Germany as the price of con-
vincing. the Arab League not to
boycott the Germans if they
make reparations payments to
Israel.
Indications that Germany is
willing to extend credit to Egypt
hundred _million marks to the
Egyptian Government. The
Egyptian plan calls for this loan
to be extended over and above
the annual trade between the
two states. Las t year this
amounted to $70,000,000.
The West German trade dele-
gation has given no indication
that the Germans have any new
proposals to put to the Arabs
nor that they intend to abro-
gate the reparations pact, it was
reported in Cairo dispatches re-
ceived in London.
T h e reports quoted Ahmed
Shukairi, assistant s e c r et a r y
general of the Arab League, who
attended the parley, as stating
that the meeting opened with
both sides making _statements
stressing traditional ties between
the Germans and the Arabs.

Both Britain and the United
. States intervened in the situ-
ation7-Britain to support the
Jordan position and scold Is-
rael for aggressive actions,
and Washington to tell both
sides of American concern
over the situation and desire
for Middle East peace.
In London, Sir James Bowker,
Under-Secretary for Foreign Af-
fairs, told . Israel's envoy, Eliahu
Elath, that Britain was gravely
conceraied over recent border
incidents and particularly over
the shelling by Israel of two
Jordan villages on Jan. 23. The
British envoy in Tel Aviv, he
said, had been instructed to urge
the Israel Government to take
all steps in its power to restore
tranquility along the frontier.
The British also informed Jor-
dan that Britain stands by its
1948 commitment to protect
Jordan's frontiers as well as by
the 1950 tripartite declaration.
In Washington, where the
Israel and Jordan envoys were
summoned separately to meet
with John Jernigan Deputy As-
sistant Secretary of State for
Near Eastern Affairs, David Goi-
tein the Israel minister, pointed
out that the number of Israelis
murdered, cattle stolen, " and
quantity of irrigation pipe de-
stroyed had reached alarming
proportions in 1952. He said
there was evidence that this was
not done by isolated infiltrees
knit 'rather on official orders.
