Jordan Dropped from List of
Countries Included in NEA Tours

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
National Education Association's
Travel service division • has
dropepd Jordan from the, list
of countries visited on NEA-
sponsored tours because of Jor-
dan's anti-Jewish discrimination.
Approval was meanwhile giv-
en for 1957 tours to Syria and
Lebanon in view of assurances
of non-discrimination against
NEA members.
NEA's board . of directors,
hoWever, rejected a proposed
resolution demanding that the
NBA not sponsor tour to.-nations
which by their visa regulations
discriminate against NEA mem-
bers for reason of religion or
race.
The resolution had originally
been brought up before the NEA
convention held in Portland,
Ore., last summer. At that
time the proposal. was tabled
and referred to the board;
Even, before this, the tour
issue attracted attention when
it was found that NEA - mem-
bers desiring to go on a 1956
Middle East tour which included
certain Arab states were re-
quired to furnish a clergyman's
certification that the member
was not Jewish. The Ameri-_
can Jewish Congress and the
NCRAC protested. The Ameri-
can Jewish Congress pursued
the matter with the NEA.
The NEA tour director later
reported that he was given oral
assurances by Syria and Le-

Ribicoff Assails
GOP 'Do-Nothing'
Foreign Policy

Arriving two hours late from

San • Francisco, Gov. Abraham

Ribicoff, of Connecticut, hur-
ried through a short press con-
ference on Wednesday after-
noon, before addressing a Vol-
unteers for Stevenson-Kefauver
luncheon at the Veterans Me-
morial Building.
Gov. Ribicoff, himself not up
for election until 1958, has been
touring the nation in behalf of
the Democratic Party and has
been a particularly outspoken
critic of Republican foreign pol-
icy. -
The Governor served in the
United States Congress from
1949 to 1953, and was a member
of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee before his election
as the first Jewish Governor of
Connecticut.
He stated that for the past
four years the U. S. has not
excercised the necessary leader-
ship that the free world wants
and needs. "There has been in-
decision and vacillation; we re-
act only to emergencies; we
have no long-range programs to
forestall these emergencies," he
said.
He accused the Eisenhower
administration of "reaching a
stalemate" and of "having no
positive program." He cited the
dangerous situation in the Mid-
dle East, in which Russia has
supplied Egypt with arms and
Egypt, in turn, has forced her
hand in the Suez Canal issue.
"After 200 years of Russian
ambition, she is finally a power
in the Middle East and the Medi-
terranean," he said. He also
named Egypt, Yemen and Syria
among those nations which have
signed trade and friendship
pacts with Russia.
The governor defended Adlai
Stevenson's position in the ques-
tion of ending the H-bomb tests.
He said that Stevenson had
taken the lead in proposing a
Moral concept which could save
the world from total destruction,
and added that Stevenson was
not proposing unilateral dis-
armament.
After a television broadcast
Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Ri-
bicoff left for a dinner in Grand
Rapids before flying to New
York and then back to Hart-
ford. He will continue his cam-
paigning for the Democratic

ticket.

Council Assembly to Hear Member of Mission to USSR

banon that Jewish members of
NEA tours would not be refused
visas. But Jordan refused to
give such assurances.
The entire matter was probed
by a NEA staff conm.ittee. San-
ford H. Bolz, Washington Coun-
sel of the Congress, appeared
before the committee.
Subsequently, it was recom-
mended unanimously that a res-
olution be adopted affirming that
NEA will not sponsor tours to
countries which by -their visa
policies discriminate against
NEA tour members on a basis
of religion or race.
The board of directors con-
sidered the matter and adopted
a different approach. It adopted
a resolution specifically ap-
proving a list of tours, naming
countries, which would be spon-
sored by NEA in 1957. This list
omits Jordan, but includes
Syria and Lebanon.

All of us try to get the best value for every dollar we spend. Why

not apply the same wisdom to the money we save? An account

at American Savings earns 21/2 per cent, a higher-than-average

rate—makes savings easier to keep intact—less tempting to

withdraw. Remember, too, at American Savings, funds received

by the 10th, earn from the 1st of the month. Naturally it's smart

to "Save the American Way"—because it's more more profitable.
