U. S. Labor Calls on U. S.
To Back Middle East Peace

Top spokesmen in the Ameri-1
can Labor movement, many of
whom had visited Israel as re-
cently as last summer, called for
continued aid to the Jewish state
as well as adoption by the Unit-
ed States of effective measures
to prevent aggressive war
against Israel by its Arab neigh-
bors.
Their appeals were addressed
to the American people and
were delivered at the 32nd an-
nual convention of the National
Committee for Labor Israel, held
over the Thanksgiving weekend,
at the Commodore Hotel, New
York.
The Detroit delegation contri-
buted over $60,000 to the total
of $500,000 collected at the con-
vention, as part of the emer-
gency drive of Histadrut.
Detroit delegates attending the
gathering of Histadrut campaign
workers heard Walter . P. Reu-
ther, in the convention's major
address, take issue with propos-
als by British Prime Minister
Sir Anthony Eden regarding a
Middle East settlement.
Reuther also called upon the
U. S. State Department to an-
nounce "in clear and forthright
terms" that this country is
ready to negotiate mutual de-
fense treaties with Israel and
the Arabs, and, failing accept-
ance by the Arabs, to accept a
proposal which would carry
through the treaty with Israel
alone.

Joseph Schlossberg, secre-
tary-treasurer emeritus of the
Amalgamated Clothing Work-
ers of America and national
chairman of the Histadrut
Campaign in America, was
guest of honor at a conven-
tion luncheon which celebrat-
ed his 80th birthday.

Nationality Groups Join Jews in Protesting 'Arab Slur

East Munich" and against re-
warding threats of a g gression,
backed by Soviet arms, by "clan %
(serous appeasement."

The convention unanimous-
ly adopted a national budget
of $5,113,000, and called on
contributors to increase gifts
to the Histadrut Campaign by
at least 25 percent.

A full report of convention
proceedings will be given this
Sunday.-at a breakfast gathering
for local volunteer workers, or-
ganizational delegates and rep-
resentatives. The meeting will
be held at 13722 Linwood.
Reports will be submitted by
Nathan Rose, Isaac Litwak and
Simon Richardson.
On the basis of current fig-
ures, the local campaign is
showing an increase of 16 per-
cent over the last year, and a
large increase in "first-time
givers.
Continuing its role as pace-
setter of the local drive is the
Farband Division, led by Moritz
Schubiner, Julius M. Singer,
Morrie Brodsky and Berl Hear-
shen. Poale Zion leaders for the
week were Aaron Sandweiss,
Dr. Saul C. Stein, Morris W.
Stein and Bernard Linderman.
Organizational leaders included
Mogilover Aid Society and Dex-
ter Social Club.
Plans are currently being for-
mulated for a major public
meeting, to be held Dec. 18, in
the auditorium of the Work-
men's Circle Center.

NEW YORK, (JTA)—Leaders
of five nationality groups pro-
tested to Secretary of State
Dulles the attack on American
Jews made in a recent speech by
the Syrian Ambassador to the
United States, Farid Zeineddine.
"As Americans of various
ethnic origins," they declared in
a telegram to Mr. Dulles, "we
should like to record with you
our feelings of shock and con-
cern with the unseemly insult
directed against o u r fellow
Americans of Jewish religion. To
us, the substance of the Ambas-
sador's remarks was, in many
ways, virtually indistinguishable
from Nazi racial theories which,
within all our memories, have
brought about such ruin and loss
to the world."
The ethnic leaders pointed out
that the purpose of the telegram
"is to deplore the fact that any
Americans singly or collectively,
should be subject to this type of
wanton, unfair and harmful in-
sult. We believe that Mr. Zein-
eddine at the very least abused
American hospitality and ex-
ceeded his diplomatic privileges,"
they told Mr. Dulles.
The five signatories of the
telegram are: Andrew J. Valu-

chec, publisher of "Dennik,"
Czechoslovak New York news-
paper; Joseph Triner, president
of the Czechoslovak National
Council of America; Aloysius
Falussy, director of the Amer-
ican Hungarian Federation;
Joseph A. L. Errigo, chairman of
the National Anti-Defamation

In a message to the convention,
President Eisenhower hailed the
membership of the National
Committee for Labor Israel for
having "striven to help refugees
from tyranny and persecution
and others who have chosen
Israel for their home."
Chaim Shurer, editor of Davar,
who visited the Soviet Union last
year, appealed to the Russians
to permit the emigration of
Soviet Jews to Israel, He de-
scribed his experiences in Russia,
stating that, except for a rudi-
mentary religious life in a few
synagogues, there was no or-
ganized Jewish life permitted.
Dr. • Maurice Perlzweig, head
of the political department of
the World Jewish Congress, said
that following his discussions
with nationalist party leaders of
Tunisia and Morocco, they ac-
cepted the view that Jews have
a fundamental human right to fledged departmRnt in this field.
emigrate to Israel.
In a message to the conven-
tion, Sen. Herbert H. Lehman
stated, "All those who are com-
mitted to the cause of democ-
racy and to the cause of peace

with apprehension the recent
Soviet penetratidn into this
area.
"The United States must act
promptly and vigorously. There
must be an end to vacillation on
our part. We must act to pre-
serve the peace and to prevent
aggression. The security of Is-
rael must be safeguarded."

A message sent by Israel Pre-
mier David Ben-Gurion called
upon scientists from the West to
come to Israel "hasten the fruc-
tification of the wastelands of
the Negev in view of the threats
of our enemies to the integrity
of our state."
Dr. Dov Biegun, newly-elected
national secretary of the Hista-
drut Campaign, who transmitted
Ben-Gurion's message to the
closing conference session, add-
ed:
"Israel's Prime Minister obvi-
ously has in mind not only the
military threat of Egypt's Pre-
mier Gamal Abdel Nasser, but
also trial balloons put out by
some of the Western countries
which would force Israel by dip-
lomatic offensive to cede terri-
tory to its aggressive neighbors."
He warned against a "Middle
