One of UNESCO's principal
objectives, it was observed, has
been the facilitating of interna-
tional travel regardless of re-
ligion.
Judge Polier emphasized that
the Jordan ban prohibits travel
not only by Jewish UNESCO
personnel but also by private
tourists and visiting scholars
and thus is "in contravention
of mutual responsibilities as-
sumed by Member States." To
permit any Member State to
"lay down such a prohibition
would be to acquiesce in the
employment .of UNESCO itself
to implement the very discrimi-
nation it was organized to cor-
rect," it was stated.
In a memorandum submitted
at the Commission's meeting in
New York, on Monday, Judge
Justine Wise Polier, chairman
of the AJCongress' national

GENEVA, (JTA) — Israel
has signed the "Supplemen-
tary Convention on the Abo-
lition of Slavery, the Slave
Trade and Institutions and
Practices Similar to Slavery,"
which was adopted by a
United Nations conference
earlier this month.
The Awish state's signing
brings to 33 the number of
countries signing the instru-
ment, which brings up to
date an anti-slavery conven-
tion signed in 1926.
The latter, still in force, is
confined mainly to crude
types of chattel slavery and
traffic in human beings, while
the new treaty seeks to abol-
ish such practices as serfdom,
debt bondage, bride price and
abuses rising from the adop-
tion of children. •

Hungarian Communists
to Allow Emigration
of Zionists to Israel
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Communist Party of Hungary
"no longer considers World
Zionism as an agent of Ameri-
can imperialism, and no longer
sees Zionism as a hostile trend
against the State,;°' Oscar Beten,
a member of the Hungarian
party's executive committee,
was quoted here.
The statement, initialed by
Beten, was reported in the
newspaper Haaretz by its Bu-
eharest correspondent, Amon
Illon; who quoted Beten as de-
claring that Zionism is now
looked upon in Hungary only
as "a rival trend from the ideo-
logical viewpoint."
The Hungarian Communist
leader is reported to have ad-
mitted that Zionists had been
arrested and persecuted in Hun-
gary, and to have stated that ,
"these were regretful mistakes
of the Stalinist era, and will
not recur." All have been re-
leased, he said.
Individual Zionists may live
in Hungary peacefully and
without prejudice or discrimina-
tion, Beten is reported to have
promised. However, he objected
to "Zionist propaganda" among
Hungarian Jews on the grounds
that the latter "enjoy full equal-
ity, and Zionist propaganda may
harm the free Jewish commu-
nity."
Hungarian Jews who wish to
emigrate to Israel will be per-
mitted to do so, Beten is re-
ported to have assured the cor-
respondent. "No difficulties," he
said, "will be encountered by
such prospective emigres. They
will be allowed to leave on hu-
manitarian grounds in cases
where there is no doubt that
emigration will result in reunit-
ing families, especially in the
case of older people who want
to join their children • in Israel."
Russia's 'Collective Enemy' Theory
Advanced to Gain Arab Approval -
BUENOS AIRES (JTA)—The
Soviet Union deliberately prac-
tices anti-Semitism, putting the
Jews in the position of "a col-
lective enemy" in order to gain
approval from the Arab states,
Prof. Americo Gioldi, Argentine
Socialist leader, and a member
of the National Consultative
Council, declared here.
"Soviet anti-Semitism," Prof.
Gioldi said, "must be viewed as
a key. to Communist strategy in
the Middle East. The Soviet
Union could not obtain the
backing of the Arab govern-
ments if it did not put the Jews
forth as a 'collective enemy.'
"Anti-Jewish persecutions in
the Soviet Union are an offense
against humanity toward which
no indifference is permissible."
In New York, Soviet Ambas-
sador Zaroubin ignored a letter
sent him last July by the Jewish
Labor Committee challenging
anti-Jewish statements made by
Nikita .Khrushchev in an inter-
view with an Egyptian news-
paper, the committee reported.
It said Zaroubin had failed to
acknowledge the letter signed
by Adolph Held, committee
president, challenging s t a t e-
ments - by KhrushOhev and ask-
ing for clarification of others.
The interview quoted the Soviet
official as having declared,
among other things, that "we
have already expelled them
(the Jews) from our country."
Prospects of Jewish survival
in the Soviet Union are "very
slender," Prof. Morris Ginsburg
declared in the first Noah Barou
Memorial Lecture at University
College, in London..
The London Poale Zion will
submit an amendment to a reso-
lution on the agenda of the an-
nual conference of the Labor
Party, scheduled to meet at
Blackpool from Oct. 1 to 5, call-
ing for an improvement in the
status of the Jews of the Soviet
Union.
It also was announced in Lon-
don that a "violent and unpro-
voked" attack on Israel, fol-
lowed by efforts to prevent
Israel delegates to • reply, high-
lighted the recent communist-
inspired Congress of the Inter-
national Union of Students in
Prague," according to members
of the British delegation inter-
viewed by the Sunday Times.
The "most serious episode" at
the Congress, the students re-
ported, occurred when a Syrian
delegate attacked Israel. The
chairman, an Arab, attempted
to prevent an Israeli delegate
from replying, even after the
Israel delegation threatened to
Walk out unless, permitted the
right to reply.. It was only after
Roland Freeman, the • British
delegation leader, threatened to
move a resolution of "no con-
fidence" in the presidium of the
Congress,athat Israel was given
the right to reply at a- session
that lasted all night.

clusiveness is its doom.—Lajos
