Goltimann Appeals to Nasser
ioEstablishArab-IsraelPeace
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Dr. Nahum Goldmann, chairman
of the Jewish Agency and head of the World Zionist move-
ment, made a direct appeal to Egypt's Premier Gamal
Abdel Nasser' to take the initiative in the Arab world to
establish "creative cooperation" between Israel and the
Arab states for the reconstruction of the Middle East.
br. Goldmann left for a Latin American Zionist con-
ference in Montevideo. He returned last week from talks
in Israel with Premier David Ben-Gurion and Foreign
Minister Moshe Sharett. He told a press conference that
the appeal to Col. Nasser is made in his own behalf, as
leader of world Jewry and said he was fearful that "ex-
tremist elements" in Egypt might goad the Nasser Govern-
ment into "a hit and run onslaught on Israel," because of
Egypt's "absolute air superiority."
To prevent such development, Dr. Goldmann urged
that "deterrents" be created by providing Israel with
ample arms for her legitimate defense. Be also warned
of increasing disillusionment in Israel with the Western
Powers' failure to act on her arms requests. Should this
disillusionment continue, he warned, "it would result in a
major crisis in Israel's psychological attitude towards the
United States and the entire free world."
Dr. Goldmann reported that Premier Ben Gurion is
opposed to a "preventive war" and that during his last
visit to Israel he found nerves "less taut" than during his
previous visit in December. Public opinion in Israel, he
-stated,, has made its "inevitable accommodation to the
rigorous political and security dilemmas" confronting the
country.

Jewish ritual slaughter , — being
outlawed in the Union of South
Africa has been raised by a
private bill introduced by Dr.
V. L. Shearer, Conservative, in
the House of Assembly, the low-
er house of the national legis-
lature.
Dr. Shearer-attacked shechita
because it did not provide for
stunning the animal before
slaughter and deplored the
"cruelty" practiced in kosher
abbatoirs.
He asked for the appointment
of a commission to study shech-
ita. He was followed in the de-
bate by Nationalist deputy J.
Scholtz who demanded that the
"dreadful barbarity" of ritual
slaughter be halted.
A spokesman for the govern-
ment, however, said he would
prefer to have a memorandum
from the Animal Welfare Or-
ganization on the type of legis-
lation it would prefer. The
memorandum could then be
brought before the House and
studied by a special commis-
sion, he added.
Earlier this session, when the
government introduced a meas-
ure designed to curb certain
practices in slaughter, Dr. Hen-
ry Gluckman asked for assur-
ance that this bill would not
interfere with Jewish religious
practices. He was told by a gov-
ernment spokesman that the.ex-
emption for religious practices
contained in the original slaugh-
ter bill would be retained in
the new version. Before the
current session, even Dr. Shear-
er assured a Jewish delegation
that he did not contemplate in-
terference with sheehita.

Jewish Couple Ordered
To Surrender Adopted Child
PRO'VIDENOE, R. L (JTA)—
The Rhode Island Supreme
Court ordered Samuel and
Anna Sklaroff, a Jewish couple
of this city, to surrender a four-
yeakold boy they adopted when
he was a week-old infant. The
child was born out of wedlock
to a Catholic mother who later
married.
The court ruled against the
Sklaroffs on the basis of a
Rhode Island law which pre-
scribes that "wherever possible"
the adopting parents and the
natural parents should be of
itie same religious faith. The
iltother, who 'originally con-
anted to the adoption, changed
her mind after her marriage
and sought custody of the boy.
