Eisenhower Outlines U. S. Policy
On Human Action in United States
Turkey Detains 6
Israeli Fishermen
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
policy of the United States Gov-
ernment with regard to United
Nations action on human rights
is outlined in the report on
American participation in the
United Nations submitted by
President Eisenhower to mem-
bers of Congress and made pub-
lic by the State Department. This
policy, as summarized in the
President's report, proposes:
1. Each member of the United
Nations should transmit biennial-
ly, for consideration by the Com-
mission on Human Rights, a re-
port on developments and prog-
ress achieved in the field of hu-
man rights and measures taken
to safeguard human liberty; and
the Commission should submit to
the Economic and Social Council
such comments and conclusions
on the report as it deems appro-
priate.
2. The Commission should ini-
tiate studies of specific aspects
ISTANBUL (JTA)—Six Israeli
fishermen who were arrested at
Iskenderun (Alexandretta) two
weeks ago for alleged illegal fish-
ing in Turkish waters were re-
leased on bail here, following
their initial hearing on the
charge. The incident occurred
when two Israel fishing vessels
were intercepted by Turkish
coast guards. The Turks ordered
both vessels to stop. One of them
hurried away, but the other was
stopped and the six sailors
a-board were taken into custody.
Meanwhile, 24 students of the
Hebrew University's Faculty of
Geography arrived here for a 10-
day tour of the country, arranged
by the Turkish Federation of
University Students. The arival
of the students marked the first
cultural interchange between the
two countries in many months.
of human rights on a worldwide
basis, stressing in these studies
general developments, progress
achieved, and measures taken to
safeguard human liberty. Speci-
fic subjects should be selected for
study, with the assistance of an
expert adviser for each subject
who would be appointed by the
Secretary-General.
3. The United Nations and the
specialized agencies should pro-
vide technical assistance and ad-
visory services in certain fields of
human rights, including the im-
provement of procedures under
criminal and civil law, increased
participation by citizens in na-
tional and community civic af-
fairs, and the prevention of dis-
crimination and the protection of
minorities.
The President's report empha-
sizes that the United States Gov-
ernment believes that "this three-
point program can be effective
in advancing human rights in our
own time."
UJA Readies Two-Edged Drive
With the scheduled arrival in
New York this week of Rabbi
Herbert A. Friedman, executive
vice-chairman of the nationwide
United Jewish Appeal who has
just completed a six-week 20,000
mile survey of Jewish needs in
Israel, North Africa and Europe,
the UJA made ready to launch
a two-edged drive to raise maxi-
mum sums for emergency needs
of overseas Jewry.
The sums will be sought from

Philadelphia City
Officials Explain
Ban on 'Merchant'
PHILADELPHIA, (JTA)—Rep-
ercussions of the ban by a city
official here of a performance of
"The Merchant of Venice" on a
public square opposite City Hall
were widespread, as newspapers
and radio stations charged "cen-
sorship" against the official —
Mayne Barr, head of the Phila-
delphia Bureau of Public Infor-
mation. Mr. Barr and Charles B.
Cranford, Deputy Commissioner
Of Recreation, explained that
they feared injury to the feelings
of a minority in a performance
of the play in downtown Phila-
delphia, although it had been
produced on city property in
Pastorius Park earlier.
One immediate consequence of
the ban was the broadcast of a
recorded British Broadcasting
Corporation version of the
Shakespeare play by KYW,
Philadelphia's Westinghouse sta-
tion. The broadcast was widely
publicized and KYW's program
chief, Gordon Davis, said: "We
realize that the play may be in
part distasteful to a minority
group. At the same time we know
that the majority of people, in-
cluding this group, are sensitive
to the dangers of censorship.
KYW feels it is its obligation to
present the play so that no one
may be denied the privilege of
hearing it." Daily newspapers
here also criticized the action of
the city official,
John Raleigh, KYW reporter,
quoted the city public relations
director as saying: "I cannot con-
done any performance, which
quite likely would be considered
objectionable by a sizeable pro-
portion of the population." At the
same time, however, Mr. Raleigh
quoted Fred Grossman, of the
Bnai Brith Anti - Defamation
League, as stating that the ADL
has "never censored, or objected
to the performing of 'The Mer-
chant of Venice.' " Mr. Grossman
went on to say: "We believe in
the idea of freedom of speech,
and, therefore, believe in the
freedom of performing a play.
We cherish a general opposition
to censorship as such, including
the censoring of literature."

FRANKFURT (JTA) — Under
the heading "The Lie of the Six
Million Killed Jews," the Wies-

at the conclusion, after a slight-

on juggled figures, that "only"
365,000 Jews were killed during
the Nazi regime.

This double effort will be made
