Suspension of Arms Shipments to Arabs Urged by Council
Of Jewish Women; Conference Asks Aid for Israel

-

NEW ORLEANS, (JTA) — A
resolution assailing the McCar-
ran-Walter Immigration Act and
asking Congress to remove dis-
criminatory clauses from the
measure was adopted at the
biennial convention of the Na-
tional Council of Jewish Women.
Mrs. Moises Cahn, of New Or-
leans, was elected presieWnt of
the organization.
The convention called on the
245 Council sec-
tions to con-
centrate their
efforts in the;
fields of civil
liberties and
civil rights
health and
fare services,
immigration law
and service to
the foreign born
during the next.
two years. In a
series of resolu-
tions on nation- Mrs. Cahn
al and international issues, the
delegates urged the United
States Government to increase
its efforts for the development
of economic and social stability
and political democracy through-
out the world.
Another resolution urged U. S.
cooperation with other nations
to develop nuclear energy for
peaceful use and "make possible
economic and social progress for
all peoples." The delegates also
urged extension of social security
programs; national state and
local housing programs to low
and middle income families
with special stress on the aged;
and greatly increased educa-
tional, recreational and legal
facilities for children on a non-
segregated basis.
The 800 delegates voted to
continue financial support of
the Department of Secondary
and Higher Education of the
Hebrew University of Jerusa-
lem, where Israel's high school
teachers are trained. Other
resolutions, called for nation-
wide action to improve- public
school conditions, for civic
activity to bring smooth im-
plementation school deseg
regation, and
and for establish-
ment of a single coordinating
agency in each state to com-
bat juvenile delinquency.
At a session on American
Jewish family life highlighting .
a Council tercentenary year
study, a panel of psychologists
and rabbis reached agreement
that "the emphasis of the Jew-
ish tradition on human dignity"
is its most important element.
They also agreed that "the
family is the basic teaching unit
of Jewish values and unless we
preserve them through the fami-
ly we will lose them."
President Eisenhower hailed
the Council for its "contribution
to the welfare of our people."
The President singled out for
particular praise the organiza-
tion's recreation program for
older people and its help to im-
migrants "towards useful Ameri

can citizenship" as well as for
its youth programs.
U. S. Solicitor General Simon
E. Sobeloff, told the convention
that the American Jewish com-
munity, in maintaining its in-
tegration in American life, must
not lose its identify with Jewish
culture and traditions. He point-
ed out that the Americans were
a heterogeneous people and
noted that • "our unity is not
based upon enforced uniformi-
ty."
"We do not shun or fear
variety," he commented, "for
we do not find it inconsistent
with unity; we discover our
unity in our very diversities."
An appeal for a "bold, direct
approach" by American di-
plomacy to the problem of
peace between Israel and the
Arab states was voiced by Mrs.
Irving M. Engel, retiring presi-
dent, who made the sugges-
tion in her keynote address.
She urged the delegates to
support Israel in its struggle
for survival and to suport the
efforts of North Africian Jews
to immigrate to Israel.
Mrs. Engel told the 800 dele-
gates from 245 cities that . the
Federal loyalty and security
program must be taken out of
politics and suggested the ap-
pointment of a non-partisan
commission of outstanding citi-
zens to investigate the Federal
Government's security proced-
ures. The NCJW, which is more
than 62 years old, has a mem-
bership register in excess of
108,000 women.
A 1955-'56 budget of $706,350
was adopted for activities on
the national level.
The final day of the con-
vention, March 24, brought a
resolution asking the United
States Government to suspend
arms shipments to the Middle
East pending a peace settle-
ment between Israel and the
Arab countries, and to exert
pressure for this settlement
through direct negotiations
and United Nations assistance.
This was urged "in the in-
terest of stability and progress
in the area which is of such
vital strategic interest to the
United States and the free
world."
The delegates • appealed for
"continued economic and techni-
cal assistance to Israel and the
Arab peoples, so as to raise liv-
ing standards, facilitate the
resettlement of refugees and
help foster and strengthen dem-
ocratic institutions."
The United Nations, they de-
clared, should "concern itself
with the total program of peace
rather than with piecemeal
consideration of individual in-
cidents."
Since peace is not yet es-
tablished, the Council women
held, "the decision of the United
States to furnish military aid
and arms to any middle eastern
state which is technically, if
not actually, at war with
another state in the. Middle

The convention noted that
"unjustified public disgrace and
economic hardship to many"
are being caused by the work-
ings of the Federal Loyalty sys-
tem among Government em-
ployees.
The delegates made a plea for
recognition on the part of the
Government "that every Govern-
ment employee is entitled to
the full protection of his con-
stitutional guarantees and lib-
erties," and called on the Ad-
ministration to "act speedily" to
establish "a committee of im-
partial and eminent citizens" to
investigate conditions under the
security system and recommend
changes.
