Bias in U. S. Vanishing, Nixon Says
At JDA's New. York Dinner
NEW YORK (JTA) — More
progress in providing equality of
opportunity for all Americans,
regardless of race, creed and
color, has been made in the past
three years than in any similar
period since 1865, Vice President
Richard M. Nixon said here at a
dinner of the Joint Defense Ap-
peal which opened the fall phase
of a $5,000,000 fund-raising effort
in behalf of Bnai Brith Anti-De-
famation League and the Amer-
ican Jewish Committee.
Arab-Israel Issue to Be Aired by UN
At Current General Assembly Session
.
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.(JTA)
—Israel and Israel-Arab relations
will figure sizably, at times vit-
riolically, during the tenth ses-
sion of the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly.
It is expected that to compen-
sate for their position of isola-
tion in a world whose leadership ,
is talking of peace and negotia-
tion, the Arab delegations here
will probably attack Israel bit-
terly all along the line. It is felt
certain that from the very open-
ing of the general debate, during
which delegation chairmen cus-
tomarily speak about the general
policies of their governments,
through detailed debates in every
one of the General Assembly
committees the Arabs will voice
opposition to Israel.
Aside from an item on the
agenda which Israel has itself
introduced, dealing with protec-
tion of civilian aircraft inadver-
tently crossing international fron-
tiers, one of the major agenda
items affecting Israel—and open-
ing possibilities for the Arabs
to attack it—will be the report
of the UN Relief and. Works
Agency for the Arab refugees
from Palestine, and the separate
report of UNRWA's Advisory
Committee. The Arab bloc here
is expected to ask increased
UNRWA funds for the refugee
relief. UNRWA's first budget,
several years ago, was $18,000,-
000; the fund rose to $25,700,000
last year; and the Arab states
will probably ask for an increase
to $35,000,000 this year.
In connection with UNRWA
discussions, there is the likeli-
hood that the plan propose& re-
cently by Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles, for a large inter-
national loan to Israel with which
the Jewish State could compen-
sate the Arab refugees, may
come up here. Israel has already
accepted the plan "in principle."
However, no detailed blueprint
for operation of the plan has as
yet been made public by Mr.
Dulles.
The Arab states may bring up
two new points affecting Israel.
One may be a suggestion that the
United Nations form a new in-
quiry commission, comprised of
all former presidents of the Gen-
eral Assembly, to probe into the
entire Israel-Arab situation. The
other would be a proposal that
membership of the Palestine Con-
ciliation Commission be-increased
with more pro-Arab representa-
tives, and that the PCC be or-
dered to really get to work.
The Security Council made
public its report to the Assembly
which shows that the "Palestine
Question" dominated the. Coun-
cil's activities for the entire year.
The report shows that in the last
year the Security Council met 22
times, devoting most of its sub-
stantive sessions, a total of 14,
to "The Palestine Question."
The two issues that took up
most of the Council's time on
the Israel-Arab front during the
period concerned Egypt's seizure
of the Israel freighter "Bat Ga-
hm" on Sept. 28, 1954, and Israel's
attack on Gaza on Feb. 28, 1955.
It was following that attack that
the Council, after censuring Is-
rael, called in Maj.- Gen: E. L. M.
Burns to try to get Egypt and Is-
rael together for pacification of
the GaZa strip frontier.
Israel Counteracts Evaders
With Published Tax List
JERUSALEM, (J T A) — The
Israel government published a
list of all income taxpayers for
last year and the incomes on
which they paid taxes. The list,
contained in four volumes, in-
cludes corporations, businessmen
and wage earners.
When he announced publica-
tion of the list, Zeev Sherf, sec-
retary to the Cabinet, said that
it would constitute an important
instrument of justice, since peo-
ple in various fields would not
permit colleagues "to escape" the
payment of proper taxes while
they themselves were paying the
full amount.
The list is headed by Palestine
Electric Corporation, Shell Oil
Company, Solel Boneh the
Histadrut construction coopera-
tive — Kaiser-Frazer Automo-
bile Company and various kib-
butzim. Palestine Electric paid
tax on earnings of 2,000,000
pounds, Solel Boneh on 1,400,000,
Shell on 1,200,000,-. and Kaiser on
400,000.
