Arab Clubs Seek
Anti-Israel Action

WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The
National Association of Federa-
tions of Syrian and Lebanese
Clubs in America made known
it is seeking interviews with
President Eisenhower and Secre-
tary of State Dulles to urge re-
vision of American policies that
the association contends favor
Israel.

A statement issued here by the
association said a revision of U.S.
policy toward Israel is "the only
way to guarantee peace in the
Middle East." The association
said it represented more than
150 organizations of Americans
of Arab descent. A resolution
presented by the association to
the State Department listed four
suggestions for changes in U.S.
policy:

1. "Divorcing our foreign poli-
cy from the influence of political
Zionism in the United States."
2. "Discontinuing our partiality
for Israel."' 3. "Taking serious
and effective steps to implement
and enforce the three principal
United Nations resolutions for:
(A) Internationalization of Jeru-
salem: (B) Repatriation of the
Arab refugees to their homes;
and (C) Restoration of the Israel_
Arab boundaries to those de-
fined in the so-called 'partition
resolution' of the United Na-
tions." 4. "Public officials of the
United States Government should
desist from activities in support

Within a matter of days following establishment of the
United Jewish Appeal Special Fund as an emergency effort to
secure $25,000,000 over and above the amount UJA must collect
in its regular 1956 nationwide campaign, Samuel Rubin (left),
New York leader and philanthropist, electrified a meeting of 120
members of the New York UJA Board of Directors by announc-
ing a gift of $250,000 to the Special Fund. With a contribution
going also to the regular campaign of the United Jewish Appeal
of Greater New York, Mr. Rubin's gift for 1956 will actually total
$280,000. Mr. Rubin is being congratulated by Joseph Mazer,
another top New York leader and chairman of the special fund
effort, which will go to assure-the ability of the people of Israel
to rescue and receive 45,000 Jews from tension-ridden North
Africa. Funds raised in the regular 1956 campaign will go for
overseas needs not only in Israel but in other lands through
the United Israel Appeal, Joint Distribution Committee and
New York Association for New Americans. Detroit's goal in the
$25,000,000 emergency drive is $1,230,000.

working, yet gentle and wonder-

And no wonder. For,when she
speaks about "Israel Women" or
"Israel the- Mid-East Democracy"
or "Israel, a Sociological Study,"
she has that gift of, making others
care for that which she cares for.
"Admittedly," she says, "my sub-
ject matter .is constructive and
exciting, and then, too, I am not
dealing with funds, politics, or

her success when she adds—
"there are so few barriers among
women, especially among moth-

Mrs. Elon, whose becoming
greying hair is brushed back from
her forehead, is married and has
one daughter who is a member
of an Israel frontier settlement.
In Israel, Mrs. El-on teaches bio-
logy at the Herzliah High School,
Israel's oldest secondary school,
and at the Rupp' n College for
Agriculture.
She is a doctor of natural
sciences, a former welfare and
cultural affairs officer in t he
Israeli army, a past assistant
director of the Institute of Plant
Patiqology, an author of numerous
textbooks on botany, zoology, and
biology, a lecturer, a broadcaster,
and a leader in women's organ-

naturally longs to return.

Jewish club women together for
the first time in a small Southern

Mrs. Elon describes the Amer-

more interested in people than
politics, good-hearted, gregarious,
and unsophisticated.. She says
that American women are so con-
siderate, decking her with flow-
