ADL Urges State Department to. Act Against
Arab Diplomats Who Are 'Smearing' U.S. Jews
NEW YORK, (JTA)—The An-
ti-Defamation League of Bnai
Brith has asked the State De-
partment to investigate the cir-
cumstances of recent speeches
made by Arab diplomats which
`_`impugn the loyalty of Amer-
ican Jews." The request followed
a similar demand by Americans
for Democratic Action which in-
sisted that Syrian Ambassador
Farid Zeineddine should be asked
to leave the United States for
his attack on American Jews
whom he called "mongrelized
Slays."
•ADL national chairman Henry
Edward Schultz of. New York
cited the cases of the Syrian
Ambassador and Mohammed Fad-
hil Jamali, chairman of the Iraqi
delegation to the United Nations.
Mr. Schultz protested to Secre-
tary of State John Foster Dulles
that Mr. Zeineddine had, On at
least three occasions, "over-
stepped the bounds of propriety
for a foreign diplomat." He said
tl.ere is "ample evidence" to de-
clare the • ambassador persona
non grata. The Syrian Ambassa-
dor delivered what the ADL
called' "a shockingly anti-Semitic
speech" before the Women's Na-
tional Democratic club in Wash-
ington. Mr. Jamali's speech which
evoked ADL's protest was made
several weeks ago to the ECo-
nomic Club of Detroit.
Arab Threats
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Syri-
_ an Ambassador Farid Zeineddine
told the State Department that
his country would follow Egypt's
example and conclude an arms
deal with the Communist coun-
tries if the United States sells
weapons to Israel. At the same
time, he urged the U. S. Govern-
ment "to curb" the Zionists
movement in this country.
In a lengthy meeting with
George V. Allen, Assistant Sec-
retary of State for Near Eastern
Affairs, the Syrian Ambassador
reiterated the same arguments
presented by the Egyptian Am-
bassador. He registered "strong
opposition" to an American se-
curity guarantee of Israel's fron-
tiers.
The Egyptian Ambassador, Ah-
med Hussein, demanded that the
United- States refrain from selling
arms to ISrael. He attacked Jew-
ish philanthropic endeavors in
the United States in a lengthy
meeting with Mr. Allen whose at-
tention he drew to the "huge
sums 'of so-called charity that
amount to more than $100,000,000
a year" for Israel. He said Egypt
•considered these funds as an "in-
direct contribution to finance
arms and large-scale. immigra-
tion, leading to aggression and.
expansion of Israel."
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles, upon his return from
Geneva, refused to comment on
Israel's arms request, stating he
had no information on it.
Israel's Ambassador Abba Eban
described the military equipment
asked by • Israel as "markedly
less in quantity" than the
amounts supplied by the Soviet
bloc to Egypt.
Secretary of Defense Charles
Wilson said that his depart-

ment will "carry out promptly"
whatever decision is reached
by President Eisenhower on the
weapons list presented by
Israel. He added that he had
not seen the list as yet.
In Jerusalem,. Premier David
Ben Gurion summoned American
Ambassador Edward • B. - Lawson
to his - office for a discussion of
Israel's security position and the
situation in general in the Middle
East. Earlier Mr. Ben Gurion met
with his Army Chief of Staff,
Maj. Gen. Moshe Dayan.
It was indicated that Israel
has accepted UN chief. Dag Ham-
marskjold's proposals for pacifi-
cation of the Nitzana-El Auja de-
militarized - zone. The plan, pre-
sented to both Jerusalem and
Cairo by UN truce chief. Maj.
Gen. E. L. M. Burns,. calls for
withdrawal - of alt troops . from
the zone, with Israel being' al-
lowed to keep police units in the
zone and Egypt being permitted
to maintain three military check-
points along the border. The UN
would also undertake to mark
the border between the two coun-
tries in the zone.
Ten Illinois Congressmen
have joined in an urgent ap-
peal for the shipment of United
States war munitions to Israel.
They urged the State Depart-
ment to help Israel "resist ag-
gression by making available
the arms necessary to permit
that nation to defend itself."
Rep. Thomas J. O'Brien, Chi-
cago Democrat, forwarded the
communication • to Secretary
Dulles.
In Philadelphia, Rep. Hugh
Scott, (R.Pa.) said a substantial
number of Senators and Con- -
gressmen support the demand
that the United States supply
Israel with arms to restore the
military balance now weighted
in favor of the Arabs who are
receiving armaments from the
Soviet bloc.
U. S. To Sell $17,040,000
Worth of Surplus To Israel
The Israel Embassy has an-
nounced the conclusion of an
agreement with the U. S. which
provides for the sale of $17,040,-
000 worth of U. S. surplus agri-
cultural commodities to Israel.
Under the agreement, which
was signed, November 10, wheat,
feed, grain, edible fats and oil,
cotton, butter, cheese, dried milk,
beans, tobacco, and ocean trans-
portation will be available for
Israel to .purchase. Sales will be
made by private U. S. traders.

der the U. S. Agricultural, Trade
Development and Assistance Act
of 1954, is the second of its kind
to be concluded between Israel
and the U. S. The first agree-
ment was reached April 29, 1955.
U. S. , Appeals to Arabs
To Settle Palestine Refugees
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA)—A powerful appeal to the
leaders of the Arab nations-. to
help settle the Arab refugee
problem through such construc-
tive plans as the Jordan River
valley project proposed by United
States Special Ambassador Eric
Johnston was made *here 'on be-
half of the United States by .
James J. Wadsworth, a member
of the U. S. delegation.
Enunciating his government's
policy in respect to the Arab
refugees in the debate on that
issue before the General As-
sembly's Special Political Com-
mittee, Mr. Wadsworth directed
his appeal entirely to the Arab
states pleading with them to
"view the refugee as an im-
portant asset—not, as is too often
implied here in debate, an un-
wanted liability."
The Israel-Arab conflicts are
urgent and must be settled Mr.
iWadsworth declared. "But," he
continued, "the inability to settle
these problems must not stand
in the way of what, in our
opinion, is the most important
matter before us — namely, the
maintenance and improvement of
the lot of the Arab refugee. This
responsibility should elicit from
us all — but particularly from

the Arab states directly Concern-
ed, whose brothers these refugees
are—all the courage and imagina-
tion that their leaders have at
their command."
Active Military Supp6rt
Pledged Jordan by Turkey .
ISTANBUL, (JTA) — In a
move aimed at gaining Jordan
adherence to the Western-spon-
sored Bagdad Pact, Turkish
President Celal Bayar pledged
military support to Jordan if it's
attacked. Inspecting Arab Legion
units along the Israel-Jordan bor-
der, the Turkish President said:
"Don't be surprised to see the
Turkish Army and the Arab
Legion fighting side by side
against the aggressor if Jordan
is attacked."
Diplomatic circles here see this
as both a move to gain Jordan
adherence to the p-ct and a
warning to Israel. The President's
words were taken to be merely
a restatement of principles which
Turkey accepted when the Bag-
dad Pact was born. However,
diplomatic observers feel that
Turkey, tied into the NATO or-
ganization, would find it difficult
to fulfill a pledge such as enun-
ciated by President Bayar.
Armed Action Against Egypt
Urged by Military Expert
WASHINGTON, (JTA)--
Armed action by United States
forces to prevent the Soviet bloc
from establishing a Red military
base in a "Soviet Egypt" was
urged in the largest and most
authoritative non-official U.S.
military publication, the "Army
Times," which reflects official
thinking of leading military cir-
cles and is read by virtually all
U.S. Army officer _ s throughout
the world.
Warning that if Russia and
Egypt are allowed to get away
with the arms deal the Russians
will have technicians, jet fighter
squadrons and submarines based
in the Mediterranean, Major
George Fielding Eliot called for
intervention , before it is too late.
He said "all that is necessary is
to say to Colonel Nasser—`either
send these people home, or in 48
hours the Suez Canal will be re-
occupied by. British troops while
the U.S. Marines from the 6th
Fleet move into the Gaza strip."
Israel Bans Construction
of Public Building
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Israel Cabinet put a ban on the
construction of public buildings
or other government-financed
structures. The move was in line
with the policy of maximum
economy so that the greatest pos-
sible portion of the Israel na-
tional -income will be diverted to
defense needs and to the cost of
resettling North African Jewish
immigrants.

They Are After in Israel
UNITED NAT IONS, N.Y.; -
(JTA)
Arab- League delegates
called for -repatriation of Arab
refugees as the sole means of
solution of the Middle East's
problems — while one of the
speakers, Ahmed Shukairy of
Syria, called upon Israel to give
up "first and foremost Western
Galilee, the central zone, Lydda,
Ramleh, Jaffa, new Jerusalem
an,i the southern areas."
Neither the development of ir-
rigation projects, nor the estab-
lishment of any constructive
means leading toward self-sup-
port of the Arab refugees would
be satisfactory, the *United Na-
tions was told by Mr. Shukairy
-and 'by Abdul M. Rifa'i of Jor-

ber of the United Nations, wag
permitted to : participate in the
