Governor to Report on Israel
Experiences at Dinner Tuesday

Eisenhower Dedicates New
Temple; Warns 'God-Given
Rights' Must Be Defended

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — President Eisenhower par-
ticipated in the dedication of the new temple of the Wash-
ington Hebrew Congregation last week-end and gave a
warning that whoever enjoys God-given-rights must defend
them for his neighbor's sake, or lose them. The President
gave his ten-minute address before an
assemblage of over 2,000 in the mod-
ernistic $1,600,000 new temple.
It is not enough, he said, "to know
that God gave rights to you and your
neighbor. It is well to remember this
also : you may not protect those
rights only for yourself; you must pro-
tect them for all, or your own will be
lost."
In the course of his address, the
President explained why he was pres-
ent. "A few moments ago, before this
service began," he said, "I was priv-
ileged to meet some of the distin-
guished members of this congregation
in the library; Sever al' them voiced a word of amazement
that the President of the United States should attend a
service of a faith not his own and in spite of other pre-
occupations come both to the religious service and to the
dedication of this great temple. I personally think this is
Natural. There is nothing unique nor particularly extra-
Ordinary about it
He added: "Today the President of the United States,
the official head of the country, is after all the official head
of a great nation that is religious in its background and
which has a spiritual foundation on which to stand. There-
fore, it is entirely fitting and in keeping with his office that
he should come to such a great and significant event in the
lives of one part of the great faiths that have made this

With a total of $3,200,000 reported at last Tuesday's Allied Jewish Campaign
workers' luncheon rally, at the Fred M. Butzel Memorial Building, and with upwards
of $3,500,000 expected before the end of this week, campaign leaders entertained high
hopes that the final campaign rally will be a victory celebration.
The concluding campaign workers' gathering will be at a dinner at the Jewish
Community Center, on Woodward and Holbrook, at 6:30 p.m. next Tuesday. Governor
G. Mennen Williams will be the guest speaker and the gath-
ering will, on this occasion, hear his first report on his ex,
periences on his trip to Israel.
While in Israel, the Governor spoke from Jerusalem on
Yom Ha-Atzmaut — Israel Independence Day — to the
American-Israel Society dinner in Washington. He had met
with Israel's new government leaders, toured the country's
most important areas and has returned enthusiastic about
the new state.
In the final week of activities, the thousands of cam-
paign volunteer workers are working feverishly to secure
the additional million dollars necessary to reach the abso-
lute minimum of $4,500,000 necessary to fulfill all of the
community's needs, and to assure the continuation of Detroit
Jewry's support for Israel, the overseas relief causes and
the more than a score of national agencies.
Governor Williams
"We expect Tuesday's dinner to be a night of celebra-
tion," John E. Lurie said this week. "There is much left to be done to attain our mini-
mum goal, but we are approaching our duties with confidence, and we have faith in
our community's generosity and in our wonderful volunteer workers' tireless efforts."
Reservations for the concluding campaign dinner are being taken at the cam-
paign headquarters, WO. 5-3939.

111,4 , ,Aided 1,500400 Since V-E Day, Rosenwald Reports

NEW YORK, (JTA) — American Jewry, through the United Jewish Appeal,
has made possible the world-wide rehabilitation and resettlement of 1,500,000 vicitims
of World War II and oppression, William Rosenwald, general chairman of the UJA,
declared in a report issued on the tenth anniversary of V-E Day.
Mr. Rosenwald's report pointed out that, while 1955 marks the UJA's 17th year
of effort, "the decade since V-E Day has been the Appeal's most fruitful in terms of
fund-raising results and life-saving achievements." He reported that of the 1,500,000
who were helped directly by the UJA's major beneficiary agencies, "900,000 were trans-.
ferred from lands of war destruction, oppression and bitter memories to free lands of
their own choosing." The overwhelming majority of these refugees, Mr. Rosenwald
reported, numbering 800,000, were helped to emigrate to Israel. The remaining 10 per
cent, he noted, were helped to resettle in the Western hemisphere.
As a result of the UJA's past 10 campaigns, Mr. Rosenwald reported, the Jew-
ish displaced persons problem in Europe has been largely erased and "this year, for the
first time since 1945" UJA is not called upon to earmark special funds for this purpose,

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The disclos-
ure here that Iraq is to be the only Arab
state that will receive arms from the
United States under the new Mutual
Security program was received here with
mixed reaction. Under the new pro-
gram, the Administration does not plan
to grant free arms to Israel or to any
neighboring Arab states except Iraq.
This decision is being interpreted as
a key development in the re-appraisal of
Middle Eastern policy which was prom-
ised by the Administration last Decem-
ber. In some circumstances it is believed
that the Administration decided to limit
the arms program because of the unfav-
orable reaction which arose on all sides.
There was a lukewarm reception in
neighboring Arab countries and strong
opposition in Israel. Widespread Con-
gressional concern developed on the ad-
visability of arming the Near East in ad-
*ance of an Arab-Israel settlement.

In many circles there is growing be-

mote stability and to maintain the bal-
ance of strength.

countries and Israel. "As the creators of
Israel, they cannot remove it from exist-
ence—the only settlement satisfactory
to the Arabs," the broadcast stated..
"The settlement of the refugee, Arab-
Israel frontier, and Jordan water ques-
tions cannot possibly become the basis
of any relationship between the Arabs
and Israel for the simple reason which is
closely connected with Israel herself and
her ambitions," the broadcast declared.
The Egyptian radio reported that the
results of the Bandung conference in-
clude Siam's suspension of diplomatic
representation with Israel and expan-
