Reigelman told- the committee that the government policy excluding American Jews from service in Saudi Arabia is a complete denial of the Fed- eral service non-discrimination policy. He proposed that the government direct all depart- ments to end all cooperation with Arab discrimination. He also suggested that all contracts and .agreements should include non -:discriminatory provisions. In. New York the U. S. Gov- ernment agreement with Saudi Arabia under which American citizens of the Jewish faith are not being assigned to military service or employed in defense installations in that country was criticized by the American Civil Liberties Union. Patrick Murphy Malin, ACLU executive director, released a letter sent to Secretary of State John Foster Dulles scoring the practice as a violation of the American principle of freedom of .religion and urging that it be ended in the new agreement now being negotiated with Saudi Arabia. . fiat_ State Department Shuffle Displaces Byroade, Allen British firms. One company which has openly resisted- this type of pressure is Pilot Radio, an Anglo-American enterprise which has refused to knuckle under to boycott threats and close up a subsidiary it recently opened in Israel. The Leyland Motor Corporation, which sells buses to Israel, has been threat- ened with boycott unless it withdraws from the Anglo- Israel Chamber of Commerce. A number of well known firms, with heavy commitments in Arab trade,' have surrendered to the boycott. The British Overseas Airways Corporation and Scandinavian Airlines have refused to accept Jews as pas- sengers in planes stopping in Arab countries, while BOAC discontinued service to Lydda, Israel's major airport, on the excuse that there are insuffici- ent planes available for the run. At the same time, BOAC has increased its service to Lebanon. After 30 years of doing busi- ness in Israel, the British- American Tobacco Company has disposed of its plant in Tel Aviv.
