NEW YORK. (JTA)—The Soviet Government news-
paper "Izvestia" has warned Israel against concluding any
defense alliance with the United States, the New York
Times reported from Mokow.
The Times dispatch said that "Izvestia" said that such
a pact would be contradictory to the Israel undertaking
given the USSR in 1953. The Soviet newspaper reminded
Israel that in that undertaking. which restored Soviet-Israel
diplomatic relations which had been ruptured by the USSR
in the wake of the bombing of its legation in Tel Aviv,
Israel said that she would not enter into any pact that has
aggressive aims against the Soviet Union.

SAN FRANCISCO.--A plea for peace in the Middle East, based on mutual re-

Spect between Israel and the Arab states, was made here Tuesday by Abba S. Eban,
chairman of the Israel delegation to the UN, in an address at the afternoon session of the
week-long commemoration of the UN's tenth anniversary,
Mr. Eban's address, like that of most delegates, did not touch upon political matters spe-
cifically, but instead related itself to broad principles motivating the United Nations. However,

emphasizing Israel's place in the UN as a member state that did not exist when the world or-
ganization was founded here 10 years ago, Mr. Eban drew upon. Judaism's impact upon world cul-
tures and upon Israel is present place in the world to make his plea for peace between
his state
and the neighboring Arab countries.
Pointing out that the "presence of Israel in San Francisco today marks an act of historic
remedy," Mr. Eban referred to the decimation of large Jewish communities during the war that
preceded the founding of the UN and declared that Israel's participation in UN affairs today il-
lustrates "the sudden recuperation of the Jewish people from the lowest points in its historic
fortunes to dignity and opportunity which it had tenaciously pursued for 2,000 years."
"Israel's accession to statehood within her meager limits of territory," Mr. Eban
"was
accompanied in this very century by the liberation of our neighboring people in nine said,
separate

sovereignties extending over a vast expanse replete with all potentialities of political and eco-
nomic strength. Never since the golden age of the Caliphates had the Arab world commanded
such elements of actual and potential power as those which had now come within its grasp.
There is nothing exceptional in Israel's modest opportunity, nothing which should be envied or
begrudged by those more lavishly endowed."

"Thus," Mr. Eban continued, "a long majestic dream of successive Jewish generations has
now completed its cycle of fulfillment, but the Middle East, which by every circumstance of tra-
dition should help to lead the world towards universal peace, is itself plunged into turmoil of
regional strife. World statesmanship still has much to do in helping the kindred peoples of our
regional strife."
.
Enforcement powers of the Security Council before which Israel has not fared well in re-
cent years when it brought complaints against Arab states have proved "illusory," he declared.
"The UN," Mr. Eban stated, "has thus become something entirely different fiom
an organization envisaged in this place 10 years ago. Its purpose is now to promote peace by
conciliation rather than to enforce it by coercive restraint." Mr. Eban made further indirect
reference to Israel's efforts to employ the United Nations for pacification of the Middle East by
pointing out that direct negotiations of disputes among countries are encouraged under pro-
visions of the UN Charter. Israel has failed thus far to get any of the Arab states to discuss the
possibility of extending the general armistice agreements into peace talks, even when the UN it-
self has tried to get Arab leaders to face up to Israel talks. He appealed for use of the UN as "a
court of ultimate appeal," with emphasis upon direct negotiations among the states.
