UN Moods
Despite the heightened tension between Egypt and Israel over
the Gaza incident, some leading figures at the United Nations are
optimistic over the possibility of settling the Palestine question
within a year or two ... They believe that within that period proper
psychological conditions might be established for undertaking
friendly approaches between the Arab countries and Israel with a
view to obtaining a peace settlement by compromise ... Some claim
that while things go extremely slow in promoting better Arab-
Israel relations, Arab officialdom, especially Egyptian, is giving
evident signs of greater moderation ... Without specifying exactly
what these signs are, these diplomats assert that confidence has
been sufficiently established to make it hopeful that within . ap-
proximately a year the Arabs may be receptive to informal talks
on the solution of the Palestine problem ... This view appears to
be a result of the recent visit 'which Ambassador Eric Johnston,
President Eisenhower's special envoy, made to the Middle East in
connection with his regional water development project . . . It is
based on the assumption that once the Arabs and Israel come to
agreement on this project, some of the thorny Arab-Israel prob-
lems will be nearer to solution ... It is understood that the Arabs
have been told that the Western powers would be ready to pour
more capital and goods into their countries provided they meet
Israel half-way ... At the same time, it was indicated to Israel
that the Western powers would be ready to contribute substantially
to the development of the Negev if Israel agrees to certain com-
promises ... The compromises which the Western powers want,
UN diplomats indicate, are agreement by Israel to certain terri-
torial adjustments and acceptance of a number of Arab refugees . .
The Arabs are asked by the Western powers to give up the original
partition plan upon which they insist as the basis for a discussion
of Palestine's future, acceptance of Israel in their midst and abo-
lition of the anti-Israel economic boycott.
The Domestic Front
Anti-Israel propaganda is being intensified in the United
States, while pro-Israel propaganda is tioticeably Weakening despite
Jewish resolutions and statements ... The Arabs are now using the
most modern methods in their propaganda against Israel in this
country and they have the financial means for it ... Their newly
established propaganda office in New York has $400,000 at its dis-
posal for this year ... This sum offers the widest possibilities for
the streamlined system of anti-Israel propaganda which the Arabs
are trying to develop in this country ... Aiding them in their efforts
is the pro-Arab group known as American Friends of the Middle
East, which also spends about $500,000 a year on its activities in
this country ... On the other hand there is the American Zionist
Committee for Public Affairs which is trying to counteract Arab
propaganda, but can hardly raise even $100,000 a year for its work
The Committee, although a product of the entire Zionist move-
ment in the United States, does not get sufficient contributions,
and it is no secret that it struggles to meet its meager budget. . .
To make their anti-Israel propaganda even more effective, the
Arab propaganda offices in this country are now employing Amer-
ican public relations experts and advisers ... The objective of the
Arabs is to reach Americans through people who know the Ameri-
can mentality . . . And they are succeeding gradually in achieving
this aim ... Thus there are at present a number of Arab scholars
touring American universities and lecturing to American professors
and students on the Arab-Israel issue . . . The Arab countries also
send many of their young anen as students to universities in Amer-
ica where they are active in anti-Israel propaganda . . . At the
United Nations the Arab propagandists have learned how to ap-
proach American correspondents with their views ... And in Wash-
ington their aim is to influence high government officials through
intimate friends ... This system of working less conspicuously, but
penetrating more deeply contrasts strongly with the Zionist sys-
tem of issuing statements and adopting resolutions "advising" the
State Deaprtment, to do this and not to do that—all of which
remain nothing but paper work ... To become even more. effective
in their anti-Israel proganda here the Arab propaganda offices are
now planning to use radio and television ... And they can afford
to do it in a subtle way since money is no object .

MINNEAPOLIS, (JTA)—
George J. Jelliga knows a secret
but he's willing . to share it with
some young Israeli.
Jell.iga's secret is a process of
'violin making—a process which,
according to many authorities,
produces the same result as that
used , in making the world-
famed StradivariuS.
Jelliga's offer to pass on the
process was made through the
columns of the American Jewish
World, of Minneapolis, St. Paul.
Jelliga, in his letter to the
Jewish World, said that he was
getting along in years and. "I
am interested in passing along
my secret process to some
worthy younger m a n, and
thought you might help me con-
tact such a person."
He went on add that he was
aware of the cultural work now
being undertaken in Israel and
thought that such a young man
might be found here.
The Stradivarius s e c r e t Jel-.
liga, says he rediscovered is a
varnish. He used his own Stra-
divarius as a model in labora-
tory experiments when he
sought the secret. Jelliga's var-
nish penetrates the wood, and it
takes no less than a year to ap-
ply the successive coats of var-
nish,needed by each instrument.
