R eunited: It took

two arts of Congress to reunite
the Edelstein family. Joseph Edelstein, (center) now living in
Brooklyn, came to the United States in 1949 under the D. P.
Act of 1948. His brother, Jacob. , (right) with his wife,
RaChel, unable to qualify under the Act becaLise they had not
been • living in a D. P. area; had to wait for another oppor-
tunity, which came with the enactment of the Refugee Relief
Act. With their three children, Suzanne,. 7, Anne, • 5, and
Martine, 1 1/2, they are shown here as they arrived in New
York with the aid of United Hias Service, the Jewish interna-
tional migration agency, to join their Brooklyn kin. Joseph,
Jacob, and Rachel Edelstein, all victims of Nazi persecution,
are veterans - of concentration camps and forced labor. United
Hias officials stated that Jacob and his family would reside
with brother Joseph in Brooklyn until they can find an apart-
ment of their own.

JERUSALEM—Israel is ready to 'participate in any Meeting , with Egypt called
by the United NatiOns to consider practical means for abatement of tension • in the( Gaza
border area and to bPing about full peace, Israel premiec Moshe Sharettjold'Gen. E. L.
M. Burns, UN Truce Supervisor, Monday. Replying to a message from. UN Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold, delivered by Gen. Burns last Saturday night, Mr. Sharett
not only indicated his ,willingness but stressed that Egypt's refusal to attend such a
high level-session as suggested by Mr. Hamtnarskjold laid the Arab state open to the
.charge of bad faith and responsibility for aggravating the present situation.
Egypt announced Monday night that she had rejected a UN suggestion for an
Israel-Egyptian conference to ease border_ tension.
Mr. Sharett also told the UN Truce Chief of Israel's anxiety - over the continued
provocations, such as firing at Israel military patrols moving about inside Israel terri-
tory and mining of Israel- roads. He stressed that full responsibility must be laid to the
door of the Egyptian government which has "evaded" its responsibility of issuing
strict orders not to fire at Israelis and not to lay mines in Israel territory.
Premier Sharett and Gen. Burns also discussed proposals by Egyptian Premier
Col. Aladel Garnal Nasser that a demilitarized zone be established in the Gaza area. Mr.
Sharrett pointed out some undesirable aspects of the plan, but noted that under any
circumstances Egypt must reply to the UN invitation to a meeting.
In statement released here Monday night, Mr. Sharett blamed the Egyptians for
the present situation along the Gaza border, and insisted that restoration of 'quiet along
the Gaza strip was entirely dependent, upon Egyptian troops desisting "from opening
fire in a systematic and entirely unprovoked manner against Israel patrols moving
legitimately and inoffensively within their o wn territory, and on cessation of mine laying
outrages from Egyptian-controlled territory."' His state-
ment•was in fact the text of the letter to Mr. Ham-
Dulles Hopeful
marskjold which . also informed UN Secretary General of
Mr. Sharett's impending meeting with Gen. Burns.

Henry Cabot Lodge Warns Egypt and Israel

WASHINGTON — Secretary
of State John Foster Dulles
told a press conference Tues-
ilay that he believes that ac-
fion should be taken by both
Israel and Egypt to bring
about abatement of tension in.
the Gaza vicinity.
. Mr. Dulles , was asked to
comment on recent Gaza
friction and Egypt' refusal to
accept the United Nations in-
vitation to discuss the situa-
tion with Israel. He „replied
that the United States has
been following the Gaza situ-
ation very closely. The belief
was expressed by the Secre-
tary -that action should be
taken by both sides tc remedy
the situation. He said he had
an impression that the posi-
tion taken by Egypt - was not
"as negative" as the question
put to him indicated.
Mr. Dulles, said it was a
question of the level and
character 'of talks proposed.
There is 'still the possibility
that something can be worked
out, he said, adding that he
at least hoped something
could be achieved.

UNITED ..;x1A7IONS, N.Y. '-- Henry Cabot Lodge,
Jr., chairman. 'of the United States delegatiOn to the
United Nations ands- this month's president of the Secur-
ity Council, issued a warning here Tuesday that Egypt
and Israel had better cooperate with Maj. Gen. E. L.
M. Burns_ in his efforts to pacify the . Gaza border-area

In an unusual action, without a meeting of the
Council but as head of that body, Mr. Lodge took the
intitiative to issue the following statement:
"As president of the Security Council this month,
it is incumbent upon me to bring to the attention of
members of the Council my concern over the situation
created by continued incidents along the Gaza demar-
cation line and difficulties which are being encountered
by the Chief of Staff of the- United Nations Truce Sup-
ervision Organization in carrying out the -Council's un-
animous 'resolution of March 30, 1955. You will recall
that this resolution - called upon the governments
Egypt and Israel to cooperate with the Chief of Staff
with regard to his proposals directed toward preserva-
tiOn of security in that area.
"It is to be hoped that the Security Council resolu-
tion will be implemented promptly with the full coopera-
tion of the governments of Egypt and Israel. If this hope
is not realized, however, and Gen. Burns does not receive
full, cooperation. of the parties concerned, it, may be
necessary to call a . meeting of the Council for the sped-
