WASHINGTON, D. C.—
Swift revision of the Mc-
Carran-Water I m m i g ra-
tion Act was asked' by the
Bnai Brith triennial con-
vention here, at Hotel
Statler, this week. Action
was taken by the delegates
after an address by the re-
tiring president - of Bnai
Brith, Frank Goldman,
who also denounced the
use by investigative agen-
cies of "smear" or "guilt
by association" techniques
which "indiscriminately
injure the innocent as well
as the guilty."
P h i li p Klutznick of
Chicago, long prominent
in Bnai Brith, who serv-
ed as Federal Housing
Commissioner in the
R o o s e welt administra-
tion, was elected presi-
dent to succeed Mr.
Goldman.

Henry Edward Schultz,
of New York, national
chairman of the Bnai
Brith Anti- Defamation
League in a convention ad-
dress, asserted President
Eisenhower's "outs poken
stand against racial and
religious bigotry has
brought down upon him
the violent diatribes of the
most vicious hate mongers
of the country."
The vital necessity of
stepping up the flow of
blood to the armed forces
in Korea and of increasing
the stockpiles at home for
civilian needs was stressed
at the convention. Bnai
Brith received a citation
from the American Red
Cross for its nation-wide
blood donor campaigns.
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Dr. Ahmed Hussein, new
Egyptian Ambassador to Washington, said at a press con-
ference that following a settlement with the British on the
Suez Canal question, Egypt will "hear any fair proposals" to
meet with Israel "without any party dictating conditions"
and with the parties respecting United Nations decisions.
The Ambassador indicated that "it would be difficult"
for Israel and Egypt to join the same defense pact. How-
ever, he said that there was nothing to pr event the
strengthening of an all-Arab pact to prevent the West
from having a separate agreement with Israel. He declared
that "Egypt has no ambitions of aggression. but only wish-
es sovereignty of its own territory." After British troop
evacuation of the Suez Canal zone it would be possible to
begin thinking about stability and harmony with regard
to Israel, he stated.
Asked about the Egyptian blockade of the Suez Canal
against Israel-bound shipping and about the complaint
against this practice by Sen. Alexander Wiley, chairman.
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Dr. Hussein.
said that he hoped to see Sen. Wiley to explain the Egyp-
tian point of view. He declared that Egypt was acting in
accordance with international- law in stopping only war
material.
A resolution demanding an inquiry into the status of
Palestinian Arab refugees, introduced in the Senate Judi-
ciary Committee by chairman William Langer, has been
referred by the rules committee to a standing subcommit-
tee on Near Eastern Affairs of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
The subcommittee will decide if such additional in-
vestigation of the refugee problem is needed. Subcommittee
members include Senators Langer, Robert A. Taft, William
F. Knowland, Guy Gillette, and J. W. Fulbright.

of the . organization at a White House meeting at which
revision of the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act and the
achievement of Middle Eastern peace were among topics
discussed.

President's movements toward revision of the immigration
act. Henry Schultz, national ADL chairman, presented
President Eisenhower with a copy of a new immigration
pamphlet by Edward Corsi. '
On emerging from the President's office, Mr. Gold-
man told reporters that he had commended the President
for the new administration's approach to international
human rights. He said his organization did not approve -
the stand by this administration against ratification of the
United Nations Convention on Human Rights.
Speaker of the House Joseph W. Martin on Tuesday
told the Bnai Brith convention that it was his "fervent hope
that the people of Israel can work out their differences
with their Arab neighbors in the not-too-distant future."
Rep. Martin stressed the importance to the free world of
Middle Eastern peace and told of his confidence in Israel.
The Speaker also said he was impressed by the Bnai
Brith's Americanism program and the humanitarian and
charitable activities of the order.
