U. S. May Terminate Refugee Aid;
Asks Europe to Assume Burden
Reservations to Be Closed
Monday for Tercentenary's
Dinner Honoring Dr. Silver
As a result of a large number of requests for reserva-
tions for the Tercentenary Dinner, planned by the Detroit
Committee of 300 for the American Jewish Tercentenary,
at which Dr. Abba Hillel Silver will be the guest speaker,
Sunday, - Oct. 17, at Hotel Statler, the final
hour for acceptance of reservations has
been set for Monday noon, Oct. 11.
Mrs H y Burnstein, chairman of
dinner reservations, announced this week
that all expectations have been exceeded
and that requests for accommodations
have been coming in steadily to assure an
overflow attendance at the event that will
highlight Detroit's Tercentenary celebra-
tion.
Dr. Silver
Representatives of the City and the State and of the
Jewish community will briefly outline Michigan's Jewish
history at the dinner.
American Jewry's position, its 300-year development
and its future outlook will be deyeloped in the address of
the guest speaker. The appearance here of Dr.. Silver, who
is recognized as one of world Jewry's outstanding leaders
and as the most impressive orator of our time, has elevated
the Detroit TerCentenary Dinner to a position of nation-
wide importance analogous to the national Tercentenary
dinner in New York, on Oct. 20, to be addressed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower.
There will be no solicitations of any kind at the Oct.
17 dinner.
The Detroit Tercentenary programs were made pos-
bible by an allocation from the Jewish Welfare Federation.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA) — The United States virtually served notice
on the United Nations that it will not contribute money to the permanent solution of
the refugee problem in Europe unless the countries in which the refugees now live as-
sume the major burden of such a solution.
These countries, according to a report submitted to the current session of the
General Assembly by Dr. G. J. Van Heuven Goedhart, UN High Commissioner for
Refugees, are Austria, Western Germany, Greece, Italy and Trieste. The U.S. position
was stated at a meeting of the UN's Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee by
the American delegate to that group, A. M. Ade Johnson.
Expressing America's endorsement "in principle" of the High Commissioner's
.plans for solution of the refugee problems, Mr. Johnson laid down five specific pro-
posals upon which any contribution from the United States is dependent. The last Con-
gress voted nothing for this refugee relief work.
Under the five-point program, Mr. Johnson said, "the countries of asylum" must
assume the major share of the cost for helping the refugees now. Furthermore, the
United States insists that the problem must revert entirely to those countries five years
from now, if the refugees still require assistance by that time,
Tito Offers to Mediate Peace
Between Israel and Arab Lands
VIENNA, (JTA) — Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia offered his good offices to relax
the tension between Israel and the Arab states. The offer was made at a rally at Treb-
inje, _ on the Dalmatian coast, before 70,000 people who had gathered to celebrate the
liberation of the town from the Nazis.
Marshal Tito declared that while Yugoslavia could not involve herself in the Is ,
rael-Arab differences, his government would gladly "do anything to bring relaxation
in these problems." The Yugoslav President noted that while Yugoslavia's relations
with the Arab states have not always been satisfactory in recent-years, they are now
good with both the Arab states and with Israel.
(Arieh Levavi has been appointed the new Israel Minister to Yugoslavia, it was
announced in Jerusalem by the Foreign Office. Mr. Levavi has been deputy director
of Israel's Foreign Ministry, and is one of the country's senior foreign service officers.).
