Jewish Group Asked Dulles
Restore Aid to Israel; Arabs
Also Consult State Dept.
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — A
delegation of prominent Jewish .'
leaders Monday called on Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
and expressed to him their con-
cern over the recent actions of 1
the State Department regard-
ing Israel.
The delegation organized
and accompanied by Senator
Irving M. Ives and Rep. Jacob
K. Javits, both Republicans,
of New York, urged upon
the Secretary of State t h e
necessity of maintaining Israel
as a secure bastion for freedom
and peace in the Near East in
the interests of the United
States and the whole free world.
It asked that the United States
re-examine with the govern-
ment of Israel the policy of de-
laying allocation to Israel of a
share in the special economic
aid voted by the Congress which
is required as a basis for the
operation and development of
Israel's economy.
The delegation referred to the
economic boycott of Israel
openly carried on by the Arab
states and their disregard of
UN decisions and the categori-
cal refusal of the Arab states
even to undertake negotiations
with Israel for a peace treaty.
It expressed to the Secretary
profound regret and sympathy
for the victims of the deplorable
and tragic incidents on the Is-
rael-Jordan frontier which have
cost the lives of so many inno-
cent people on both sides, and
urged the U.S. Government to
address itself most vigorously to
t h e problem of Arab-Israel
peace on the occasion of the
Security Council's consideration
at these incidents.
The delegation also stressed
that development in Israel
should not be impeded or de-
layed by opposition of any
Arab state to cooperate in re-
gional development—"in short,
that Arab hostility to Israel
should not be permitted to
veto Near East development
which is now part of the - fun-
damental foreign policy of the
United States."
The delegation included Mat-
thew Brown, member of the ad-
ministrative committee of the
American Jewish Committee;
Mrs. Samuel Halprin, vice-
chairman of the American Zion-
ist Council; Maxwell Abbe 11,
president of the United Syna-
gogue of America; Philip M.
Klutznick, president of the Bnai
Brith; Louis Lipsky, chairman
of the American Zionist Council;
William Rosenwald, vice-presi-
dent of the Council of Jewish
Federations and Welfare Funds;
Bernard Trager, chairman of
the NCRAC, and Bernard Kat-
- zen who accompanied Sen. Ives
and Rep. Javits.
President Eisenhower heard
Secretary General Abdel Has-
souna of the Arab League ask
for the continuation of the
- suspension of American aid to
Israel at a meeting at the
White House at the same time
Secretary of State John Fos-
ter Dulles was conferring with
a Jewish delegation which
called at the State Depart-
ment to ask for resumption of
aid.
The Arab League Secretary
General described Mr. Eisen-
hower as sympathetic and said
he had brought to him the Arab
League's expression of "good-
will and friendship." At first he
would not say specifically if he
had discussed the Israel aid
question with Mr. Eisenhower
but later made known that he
had. The Arab leader said he
had discussed current problems
confronting the Arab states but
declined to be specific.
Israel Ambassador Abba Eban,
accompanied by Minister Reu-
ven Shiloah,- called on Henry
A. Byroad(, Assistant Secretary
of State for Near Eastern Af-
fairs, to discuss matters bearing
en the question to be brought
before the United Nations Se-
away' Council.

The conviction that the dis-
pute between the State Depart-
ment and the Israel government
will ("soon be resolved and that
"full American economic a I'd
will be given to Israel" was ex-
pressed . in a statement by
Harold Riegelman, Republican
candidate in the New York
mayoralty race, following a con-
ference with Secretary of State
Dulles. The 'conference, which

Today's headlines only serve
to underline the importance of
the Zionist Organization pro-
gram of education and inter-
pretation of Israel's position and
policies, Leon Kay, member of
the Balfour Ball committee,
pointed out this
.week.
`"During re-
cent weeks, Is-
Irael's neighbor's
°'<have been
preading
through the
Middle East and
he world
charges of al-
leged infrac-
tions by Israel
of the Armis-
ice Agreements
which govern
L. Kay
relations between them and Is-
rael," Kay, a former president
of the ZOD, declared. "A series
of trumped-up charges, based
on fantasy, have found their
way into the press."
It will take the efforts of an
American group—the Zionist
Organization—to help bring the
true story of Israel's relations
to the Arab countries to our
government and our fellow
Americans, Kay said. "In view
of the events of these past
weeks, the open outbreak of
what has been consistent anti-
Israel campaign, even this year's
Balfour Ball becomes the more
urgently needed in the war on
these charges," he concluded.
Contributions may be made to
to the Zionist Organization by

four Ball, in demoninations of
$10, $25, $50 or $100. 'Tickets are
