NEW YORK, (JTA)—The
Israeli Consulate issued a
correction to its report on
the cancellation of the sched-
uled appearance of Arthur
Liveran, member of the Isra-
eli delegation to the United
Nations, at a forum in a New
Hampshire hotel when it
learned that the hotel in
which the affair was to be
held discriminated against
American Jews.
Mr. Liveran, the correc-
tion stated, was withdrawn
as speaker not from Went-
worth Hall — as erroneously
announced earlier —, b u t
from Wentworth-By-The-Sea,
in New Hampshire. The own
ers of Wentworth Hall have
informed the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency that they are
themselves Jewish. At the
forum at the Wentworth-By-
The-Sea, from which Mr.
Liveran ' was withdrawn by
the Israeli Consulate, he and
an Arab spokesman were to

. WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Congress has turned down
the State Department request for spending approximately
