Arabs Object to Selection of
Burns as Successor to Bennike

Special Wire to The Jewish News
UNITED NATIONS, (AJP)—Arab diplomatic circles in 'the
United Nations view the replacement of General Vagn Bennike,
Chief of Staff of the UN Truce Supervision Organization in Pal-
estine by Major General E. L. M. Burns of Canada with greatest
gravity.
Bennike, they claim, always maintained "a strict neutrality
in his decisions between Arabs and Israel, favoring very often
Arab accusations against Israel."
"The Arabs here also are upset over the fact that the appoint-
ment was made without prior consultations with any of the Arab
state's. Holding that the appointment serves as a great victory for
the Israelis "who had condemned Bennike most violently after
the Kibya incident," one Arab representative here indicated that
"the UN yielded to Zionist pressures" and that the "decision was
taken only after Ambassador Eban had informed Hammarskj old
that Israel cannot cooperate with the UN."

FAO Expert Says Israel
Imports 90% of Wheat

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.
(AJP )—Dr. Max Milner. of Kan-
sas City College, who has just
returned from a six-month as-
signment for the Food and Agri-
cultural Organization as Food
Technologist in Israel, told the
UN press corps that Israel has
to import 90 percent of its
wheat, mostly from Turkey,
Canada and the United States.
The annual cost of this vital
commodity, he said, is $25,000,-
000. While the Israeli millers
serve as the contractors, he add-
ed, the government is in full
control of all purchases.
Five percent of fat-free, im-
ported soya-bean flour, Dr. Mil-
ner declared, is being mixed
with the wheat flour in order to
get a sufficient protein value in
the bread. The average pound-
loaf sells for about six cents.
He made it clear, however,
that Israeli scientists, whom he
termed the best in the world,
are naw working on ways and
means for improving the pro-
tein value of the Israeli bread.
During his six-month stay in
Israel, Dr. Milner helped estab-
lish a laboratory near Haifa at
an approximate cost of $18,000.

Canadian Is Named
To Follow Bennike

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to the Jewish News

UNITED NATIONS — Secre-
tary - General Dag Hammar-
skjold announced the appoint-
ment of Major General E. L. M.
Burns of Canada as Chief of
Staff of the United Nations
Truce Supervision Organization
in Palestine to succeed Major
General Vagn Bennike of Den-
mark.
General Bennike's appoint-
ment was for one year. When it
expired on June 17, the Secre
tary-General requested General
Bennike to continue in office
until a successor was appointed
and had arrived in Jerusalem.
Major General Burns is at
present Deputy Minister of the
Department of Veterans' Affairs
in Canada. He was born in 1897
in Westmount, Quebec. He has
been active in the affairs of the
United Nations Association in
Canada, having been president
in 1952 and 1953. He attended
the fourth session of the United
Nations General Assembly in
1949 as an alternate delegate
for Canada and served mainly
on the fourth committee.
In announcing the new ap-
pointment, the Secretary-Gen-
eral paid special tribute to ."the
conscientiousness and the high
sense of duty" with which Major
General Bennike discharged his
heavy responsibilities as United
Nations Chief of Staff during
the period of his tenure. • "His
impartiality, his judiciousness
and his personal courage won
for General Bennike the admira-
tion of the members of the se-
curity council and of the sec-
retariat. He made a real contri-
bution during a period of severe
crisis in Palestine. His efforts
have earned 'him the gratitude
of all members of the United
Nations."
(The AJP's UN correspondent
makes this comment on the new
appointment:
("Major General Burns, Dep-
uty Minister of the Department tf
Veterans Affairs in Canada and
who had held important military
posts during both world wars,
will undoubtedly inject a spirit
of stability into the whole Pal-
estine situation. With a Canad-
ian as Chief of Staff, Israel's
position vis-a-vis the Arabs, will
certainly be enhanced. During
the entire struggle for statehood,
Israel had Canada as one of her
staunchest friends and sup-
porters. Major Burns, it is ex-
pected, will take matters into
his own hands and not rely too
much on the counsel of partial
observers such as Commander
Elmo Hutchison.")

Humphrey Again Calls

For New Immigration Act

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — Sen.
Hubert H. Humphrey called for
early hearings on the revision
of the McCarran-Walter Immi-
gration Act, and made public
the text of communications ex-
changed between him and Sen.
Arthur V. Watkins, chairman of
the Senate Immigration Sub-
committee.
Sen. Humphrey asked Sen.
Watkins for hearings on Mc-
Carran-Walter operation during
the late summer and fall, when
the Senate is not in session, so
that "we can move more rapidly
in the 84th Congress."
It was noted by Sen. Humph=
rey that he felt it "a matter of
real regret" that the Senate Ju-
diciary Committee has done
nothing during the last session
of Congress 'to examine various
proposals introduced to modify
the McCarran-Walter Act.
Nevertheless, he expressed
hope that the next session will
at least hold hearings, so that
various points of view may be
presented.
Sen. Watkins' reply was in-
definite and evasive. He said he
thought he would spend most of
the recess period in Utah, but
might hold hearings if he got
back to Washington early
enough to do so.
