In addition, the Jewish communities in the Commonwealth nations participated in local celebrations of the event. The delegation of top Jewish leaders present at the ceremony at Westminster Abbey was headed by Dr. Israel Brodie, Chief Rabbi of the British Empire. It included such leading figures as the elder states- man Lord Samuel, Foreign Undersecretary Lord Read- ing, Lord Nathan; Lord Cohen, Justice Karminski, Ewen S. Montague, Judge Advocate of the Fleet, and Alderman A. Moss, the first' Jewish mayor of the City of Manchester. Israel's president was represented at the corona- tion by Ambassador Eliahu Elath. Among the dis- tinguished Jewish leaders from the other Common- wealth nations were Sir Archie Michaelis, speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria, Australia; Leon Crestohl, member of the Canadian Parliament, and Samuel Bronfman, president of the Canadian Jewish Congress. Many of the Jewish leaders were present Monday night when Chief Rabbi Brodie conducted a special coronation service. He will condnct another such service for Jewish Boy Scouts and Girl Guides June 14. Meanwhile all leading British Jewish organizations have scheduled special coronation dinners this month. Since last Saturday, all synagogues—Orthodox, Reform and Liberal—have held services where special prayers were recited for the well being of the Queen and the people of the Commonwealth. Israel's Greetings to the Queen TEL AVIV—President Ben-Zvi, Premier Ben- Gurion and members of the Israel Cabinet and Parl- liament attended a reception at the British Embassy here in honor of the coronation in London Tuesday of Queen Elizabeth II. In Jerusalem, the President's office released the text of a cable of greeting sent to Queen Elizabeth by the President. The message said: "It is my privilege to extend to your majesty in behalf of the people of Israel and myself our best wishes on the occasion of your coronation and to stress the hope that your reign may be blessed by the Almighty with lasting peace and length of days and that it be marked by prosperity and happiness for all people of the Com- monwealth." Dulles' Report .Mottvates Calls for Amity Friends of Israel and Jewish leaders everywhere united this week, in response to the state- ment on the Middle East made by U. S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, in urging that this country perpetuate its friendship for the Jewish state and that it use its influence to bring Arabs and Jews together for an effective peace. Unanimous opinion prevailed that the peace of the world is dependent upon the enforcement of amity in the Middle East. Even before Mr. Dulles had made his report on his Near Eastern tour with Mutual Security Director Harold Stassen, the issue of peace was placed on the agenda by Jewish spokesmen. In two addresses here on Monday, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, Abba Eban, pleaded for "di- rect negotiations" between Israel and the Arabs rather than an attempt to force an undesirable solution by remote control. (Report of Mr. Eba,n's address before Economic Club on Page 5) In his address at the Israel bond dinner at the Statler Monday night, delivered shortly after Mr. Dulles had made his statement in Washington, Mr. Eban, while indicating that he could not comment on the Dulles report before he makes his presentation to the State Department, in per- son, made a powerful plea for American cooperation with Israel. It would be futile, he admonished for free nations and for the United States "to abandon Is- rael's friendship in exchange for a speculative hope of finding friends elsewhere." Mr. Eban's appeal was based on the affinity between Israel and the United States, the fact that Israel is the only genuine democracy in the Middle East, and the alikeness between the two countries. He pointed out that both Israel and the United States began with ingatherings of migrants, that both lands, undeveloped in their beginnings, were built by pioneering ventures, and that thier cultural values were enhanced by the fusion of many different peoples assembled from. all corners of the globe. (Israel i Bond dinner story on Page 2) But while pleading for peace and for an amicable understanding with the Arab nation.* Mr, Eban was emphatic in his assertions that Israel could not abandon its territorial rights, that the internationalization of Jerusalem already has been ruled out as impractical by important United Nations commissions that Israel is prepared to assist in relieving the Arab refugee situation and in compensating Arabs for their land, provided the Arabs do not insist upon both ends of the bargain—that of getting compensation from Jews while continuing boycotts and blockades which make it difficult for Israel to gain economic advantages. U. S. Will Seek to Reduce Arab-Israel Tension, Secretary Dulles Announces WASHINGTON, (JTA) —The United States will not hesitate by every appropriate means to use its influence to promote Step-by-step reduction of tension between Israel and the Arab coun- tries and the conclusion of utimate peace, Secetcrary of State John Foster Dulles declared Monday. Reporting on his trip to the Middle East, Secretary Dulles emphasized that the United States, together with Britain and France, are determined to prevent Arab-Israel border violations, or attempts to violate the present armistice lines between Israel and the Arab states. He empha- sized that the settlement of the Arab-Israel conflict would require concessions on the part of both sides. (Continued on Page 24) Israel Cabinet Crisis Settled- General Zionists Return. JERUSALEM, (JTA)—A full accord on the exclusive use of the national anthem and national flag in state schools was reached here Sunday in a meeting between Premier David Ben-Gurion and the four General Zionist leaders who resign ed from the Cabinet over the flag-anthem issue. These developments followed a decision by the Mapai Central Committee that the issue be submitted for discussion by the 400-man Mapai National Council. The government crisis ended late Tuesday night when the executive of the General Zionist Party voted for the return of its four Ministers to the Israel Cabinet, after receiving assurances that there will be no repetition of the use of other flags and anthems in schools except the national. Kashr t Problem Resolved at Sinai Hospital; Agree ent Reached With Laymen and Rabbis An agreement was reached this week between Sinai Hospital, the Vaad Harabonim and the Laymen's Committee on Kashrut supervision in the hospital's kosher kitchen. Simultaneous with this announcement came the news of the assump- tion this week by Rabbi David Bakst; secretary of the Council of Orthodox Rabbis, of the post of supervisor (mashgiach) of the hospital's kosher kitchens. Announcement of this action was made by the Vaad Harabonim and the Laymen's Committee on Kashrut, in a letter to Sinai Hospital signed by Rabbi Isaac Stollman, Dean of the Vaad Harabonim, and David J. Cohen, chairman of the Committee for Kashrut. The letter stated: "In ac- cordance with our renewed discussions with you, we are happy to inform Sinai Hospital that the Vaad Harabonim and the Laymen's Committee for Kashrut have jointly resolved that the Vaad Harabonim initiate super- vision of the kosher kitchens and kosher food facilities of Sinai Hospital beginning with Wednesday, June 3, 1953." Max Osnos, president of the Hospital, in a letter to Rabbi Stollman and Mr. Cohen, expressed.the satisfaction of the hospital with the kashrut program as outlined and voiced a vote of confidence in Rabbi Bakst as the supervisor. Mr. Osnos declared that kosher food services will be available to all those who wish it in accordance with the original intentions of the Hospital board. - The resolution by the Council of Rabbis, under which the kosher kitchen service will operate, provides for adequate distribution of the notice cards to every Jewish patient advising him that kosher food can be had. It also insures that the supervisory service will cover both the preparation and distribution of food as well as the handling of dishes,. It makes clear that the hospital will depend upon the endorsement of the Council of Rabbis in the employment of the present or any other supervisor and reserves to the Council of Rabbis the right to withdraw the endorsement. Mr. Osnos stated that these terms would prove satisfactory to the observant community and joined Rabbi Stollman in the hope that mutual cooperation and reciprocity will exist toward the realization "of our com- mon goal." The kosher kitchen service as now in operation, is the result of nego tiations that have gone on for some time, and the joint decision meets the wishes of both the Hospital and the Rabbinical Council.
