Mrs. Roosevelt's Plea for
Li:S.-Israel Friendship -
NCV YORK, (JTA)—A warn-
ing that nothing should be done
to impair American friendship
for Israel was sounded by Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt, addressing a
dinner-meeting of the Israel
bond organization. She called
for continuation by the United
States government of "every
proper aid and support" for
Israel.
"Our leadership," she said,
"should work to bring peace and
stability to the entire Middle
East area. And one of the most
important means of achieving
that end is to express our friend-
ship and our sympathy for Israel
and its brave people." Stressing
the importance of American-
Israel friendship, she declared
that the two nations are 'linked
by a. unity of purpose and
brotherhood that transcends the
interrelationship of well-being
and mutual security."
"There can be no question of
the fact that the people of
Israel are one of our most im-
portant allies among the forces
of democracy in the world to-
day," she said. "And there can
be no question where Israel will
stand in an eventuality that
represents a threat to the forces
of democracy in the Mediter-
ranean area." She asserted that
"the sooner ISrael attains its
economic independence, t h e
sooner will the Arab States ac-
cept the fact of Israel's per-
manence and the sooner will
peace come to the Middle East."

plaint against the parents of the

NCRAC
Proposes Ten-Point Program
Regulating Government Investigations
National Jewish religious bod-
ies representing all branches of
the Jewish faith and national
and local Jewish , community re-
lations organizations, through
their coordinating body, the Na-
tional Community Relations Ad-
visory Council, proposed - to the
Senate Rules Committee a 10-
point legislative program for
regulating the procedures of
Congress investigating commit-
tees. The Senate group is hold-
ing hearings on a number of
pending measures for this pur-
pose. . •

attorney, testifying for the Na-

visou Council, asserted a legiti-

German Plot to Oust
Indemnification Chief
STUTTGART, (JTA) — Ger-
man officials of the State of
Wuerttemberg seem to be plan-
ning to get rid of Dr. Otto Kues-
ter, one of the highest placed
friends in Germany of Jewry
and Israel, as Commissioner of
Indemnification for Wuerttem-
berg.
Dr. Kuester's resignation as
deputy chief of the German
team of negotiators at The
Hague together with a public
blast at Bonn officials who were
blocking an agreement with Is-
rael and the Jewish Claim Con-
ference, has been credited with
helping push through the Ger-
man-Israel reparations pact.
During the past year he voiced
trenchant criticisms of Federal
legislation to indemnify individ-
ual Jewish victims of the Nazis.
. In an apparent attempt to
force Dr. Kuester out of office,
Wuerttemberg Premier Reinhold
Mueller has introduced legisla-
tion redesigning the restitution
and indemnification set-up in
the state in such a fashion as
to reduce Dr. Kuester's functions
and authority to such a state
that he will be forced to resign
as a matter of self-respect. The
new strategy seems to have
replaced a former attempt to
secure his outright dismissal.
vestigations but deplored the
1"excesses" of certain members of
investigating committees. Cohen
is chairman of the coordinating
council's Committee on Civil
Liberties.
Cohen presented a prepared
statement, 'signed by himself
and Bernard H. Trager, Bridge-
port, Conn.. attorney., chairman
of NCRAC. The statement sets
out the following ten "guiding
principles" for the regulation of
investigating committees:
1. Limitation of the scope of Congres-
sional investigations "to those matters in
which' Congress may legislate or exer-
cise any other power specifically granted
by the Constitution."
2. Prohibition of one-man subcommittees.
3. "Due notice of meetings and other
committee action" to all committee mem-
bers and adequate provision for minor-
ity reports.
4. No release of derogaory material
before opportunity for rebuttal, • and si-
multaneous release of both rebuttal tes-
timony and original charges.
5. Right of
cross-examination for
"person or organizations against whom
charges are made in public hearings";
an opportunity for such persons or or-
ganization to "present their side of the
case publicly as soon as possible -after
the making of the charge" and in equal-
ly public circumstances.
6. Keeping confidential all "material in
the files of an investigating committee
not previously released
the form of
an official report."
7. No public evaluation of a person
under investigation until the inquiry has
been completed:
8. No radio or television coverage of a
hearing over a witness' objection.
9. "Investigating committees. should be
empowered to invoke the aid of the
courts in compelling answers to ques-
tions. Constitutional objections and ques-
tions of privilege raised by a witness
should be tested through summary ju-
dicial procedures rather than by defenses
in criminal prosecutions."
10. Empowering of both Houses of
Congress to exercise supervision over
their committees.
