Dulles Reports to UN Assembly on U. S. Proposals to Israel and Arabs

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.(JTA)
Secretary of State Sohn Foster
Dulles informed the United Na-
tions Assembly of the American
policy statement on the Arab-
Israel issue enunciated by him
last month. He emphasized that
the statement contained definite
proposals which, he said, have
been supported by the British
government and by governments
of other countries, and concluded
by pointing out that some of
these proposals would eventually
come up, before the United Na-
tions, if there was a favorable re-
sponse to them from Israel and
the Arab countries.
The Secretary of State made
this declaration in the course of
a speech' at the UN General As-
sembly which marked the open-
ing of the Assembly's general de-
bate:. He said:
"In the Near East the situation
remains troubled. It has been dif-
ficult to assure the sanctity of
the armistice lines established in
1948 under the auspices of the
United Nations to end the fight-
ing between Israelis and Arabs.
The United States desires to pay
high -tribute to those who, during
these troubled days, have been
serving the United Nations, and
particularly to General Burns of
Canada and his associates.
"On Aug. 26 of this year I ad-
dressed myself to certain funda-
mental aspects of this situation. I
said that if the parties desired a
stable settlement, they could, I
thought, be helped from without.
I had in mind financial assistance
yin relation to the problem of
Arab refugees, and of irrigation
projects which would enable the
people throughout the area to
enjoy a better life. I also spoke of
the importance of bringing great-
er security to the area.
"I said that if nations from
without. the -area made clear their
readiness to contribute to these
three essential aspects of a settle-
ment, it Might then be more pos-
sible to bring order, tranquility,
and well-being__to
area tself.
n"resident Eisenhower author-
ized me to say that he would rec-
ommend participation - by the
United States in these Monetary
and security commitments, if this
Were desired by the gdverninents

assumption that action wherever
feasible should be on an inter-
national basis, preferably under
the auspices of the United Na-
tions.

Nine 'American Mercury' Staff People
Quit in Ro* over Racist Charges

NEW YORK (JTA)—A sharp
dispute involving chargeS of anti-
Semitism against the - publisher
of the "American Mercury," Rust
sel Maguire, has led to the resig-
nation of nine "Mercury" editors
and contributors. The magazine's
editor, John A. Clements, led the
list of those..:who -quit.
The charges- of anti-Semitism
were denied by the publiSher;
millionaire -oil speculator whO
was described - as having a' long
record of collaboration with
anti-Semites„--
Joining Clements in the 'Walk-
out were Adrienne Suddard,,
managing editor, and Dr.- J :- -B.
Matthews, Irene Corbally Kuhn,
George Fielding Eliot and Ruth
A. Inglis, contributing editors.
Regular contributors who left
the staff included Ralph De Tore-
dano, who resigned, and Howard
Rushmore and.. Eugene Lyons
who were told their columns
would no longer be needed on
a monthly basis.,
Under the editorship of Cle-
ments, the magazine had been
pursuing a strong pro-McCarthy
political line, but it had been
kept .clear of all racist propa-
ganda. Rushmore, one of those
who was told his column was no
longer needed, commented, "I
was always sure that while Cle-
ments was editor the political
0 policies of the American Mercury
would always refrain from
racism. Under Maguire I don't -
know."
Toledano said that dragging
anti-Semitism into an anti-Com-
munist fight gave the Commun-
ists the, excuse that only,. anti-

a

indicated their support. If there
is a favorable response from the
Near Eastern countries, many as-
pects of this problem would
eventually come to the United
Nations for its action at some
future session."
Commenting on Secretary
Dulles' address, Israel sources
said that on the whole the speech
was a constructive and balanced
statement on the Middle East.
These sources were happy to hear
that the United States was ready
to enter into monetary and se-
curity arrangements.
Egyptian Minister Attacks
Israel in U.N. Debate
An attack on. Israel—without,
however, mentioning the 'name of
the Jewish State—was made to-
day by Dr. Mahmoud Fawzi,
Egypt's Foreign Minister, ad-
dressing the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly, during the gener-
al debate. Israel is scheduled to
participate in the Assembly's de-
bate today.
Coupling the position of "the
Arab nation" with general prob-
lems of human rights and self-
determination of peoples, Dr.
Fawzi referred to "the motley
hordes of invaders who came
from many parts and formed the
spearhead of world political Zion-
ism, defying both decency and
law and even until yesterday oc-
cupying more lands and more
positions to which they have no
title whatsoever in their usual
pattern of complete contempt
and disdain for everything and
everybody, United Nations and
all."
Dr. Fawzi asserted that Egypt
has not now nor has ever had
"any aggressive intentions against
anyone. "However, he emphasiz-
ed, "we have not the slightest in-
tention of submitting to ag-
gression by anyone." Then he
made an implied threat by de-
claring that "the Arabs of Pales-
tine shall not for much longer
submit" either to living in their
old homes in Israel where 'they
are victims of "discrimination
and genoCide" or to living in
"suffering or humiliation" in re-.
fugee centers. -
When Dr. Fawzi concluded his
speech, he was rebuked for it by
Assembly president Dr. Jose Ma-
za of Chile, who said that certain
sentences and remarks by the
Egyptian Foreign Minister "were
not admissible. "An Israel spokes-
man said that Dr. Fawzi's speech
consisted of "vulgar invective un-
worthy of being heard in the
United Nations" and expressed
confidence that the speech would
be treated "with disdain."
Britain Reaffirms Support
Of Dulles' Proposals

LONDON, (JTA) — Foreign
Secretary Harold Macmillan' re-
affirmed today the British gov-
ernment's support of Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles' propo-
sals , for the Middle East, despite
the fact that Britain would have
to make "quite a financial sacri-
fice" to contribute to a fund for
compensating . Arab, refugees,
which Sec. Dulles suggested.
Speaking to a Foreign Press
Association luncheon, Sec. Mac-
millan welcomed. the. U.S. initia-
tive and expressed the hope that
Israel and the Arab states would
respond to Sec. Dulles' "wise and
generous appeal." . He said the
Dulles proposals were being con-
sidered by the governments _con-
cerned and that he was hopeful
that "one way or another" the.
proposals would become a basis
for an Israel-Arab settlement.
He noted that until there was
a settlement, the Middle East sit-
uation would cause concern be-
cause there was always the
danger that some "foolish action"
might lead to "something more."

Semites opposed Communism
and added he would have "no
part of a publication which even
flirts with the anti-Semites."
Publisher Maguire, who termed
the anti-Semitism , charges a
"a damned lie," received an
Americanism award on behalf of
the magazine from the Wall
Street POst Of the American
Legion. -
• He failed to• show up at the
presentation ceremonies, how-
ever, and the medal will be
mailed to -him.
Stephen W. O'Leary, president
of the Legion post, said he was
ernbarrassed by. the' -situation, but
pointed out that the medal was
voted six months ago. He also
said the medal honored not Ma-
guire, but the magazine, includ-
ing the men who resigned.
Maguire also backed down
from an engagement at a testi-
monial dinner in his honor, which
paired him with Seri: Jenner (R.,
Israel Regrets Casualties
Ind.). "

deputy director general of the
Israel Foreign Ministry, explain-
ed the incident. It also reaffirmed
a verbal pledge given Gen. Burns
by Mr. Lourie that Israel was
willing to withdraw its troops
from the demilitarized zone as
soon as the Egyptian outposts
"located illegally" in the zone are
removed, and as soon as the
Egyptians provided assurances
that they would not tamper
further with Israel border mark-
ers.
(In Washington, State De-
partment sources said the De-
partment is reaffirming its
"consistent role of supporting"
Maj. Gen. Burns, in his efforts
to bring about the recall of Is-
rael troops from positions oc-
cupied in the demilitarized zone
between Israel and Egyptian
territory. It was explained that
it is regular State Department
policy to support the United
Nations truce supervisory ap-
paratus.)
In the occupation of the MAC
building, from which the Israel
unit later withdrew, an Egyptian
offiCer was captured and two
Egyptian soldiers were wounded.
The officer and one of the
wounded men were later released
and one wounded man was placed

in an Israel hospital.
A United Nations official de-
nied that a UN truce observer
was arrested by Israel when its
armed forces occupied the de-
militarized zone of El Auja. Maj.
Francois Giacomaggi, United Na-
tions chairman of the Israel-
Egyptian. Mixed Armistice Corn-
mission, said the UN representa-
tive in that area is Capt. Gerhard
Swedlund, of Sweden, and that
Capt. Swedlund has not been ar-
rested. In statements issued yes-
terday in Cairo and Washington,
the Egyptian Government accus-
ed Israel of arresting a Swiss na-
tional who- was described as an
.UN observer.
