Seek to Establish
Wise Synagogue Here

Editor, The Jewish News:
The Detroit Friends of the
Stephen S. Wise Free Syna-
gogue are presently formulating
plans for a congregation in De-
troit.
Embodying the principles of
the New York Synagogue, the
Detroit group plans a rich,
1 meaningful service, a superior
educational program for both
young people and adults, as well
as a free pulpit designed to af-
ford unlimited religious and so-
cial expression for its rabbi.
We would like to hear from
individuals and groups inter-
ested in joining us in this pro-
, ject. Kindly contact David Bess-
man, chairman, WE. 3-1204.

Harry S. White's Sister
Thanks The Jewish News;
Adds Again to His Defense
Editor, The Jewish News:
It was kindness and an evi-
- dent sense of justice on your
part to print the report in your
paper of the book entitled
"Harry D. White—Loyal Ameri-
can."
It is sad that the same papers
that were so clamorous in writ-
, ing falsehoods and vilification
' attached to my brother's -name
do not give the public an oppor-
tunity of reading the actual
truth. It is doubly sad because
of Harry's fine caliber of char-
acter, a man who would never
have had any truck with a
scoundrel like Whittaker Cham-
bers.
You mention the fact, men-
/ tioned in the book, that Harry
taught school at the Home for
Jewish Children. You may be
interested to know that my
H brother Nathan, the author of
this book, was director of the
[ - Sunday School there for many
years, while Harry was also
- "big brother" to the boys there.
We are not a communist family.
My son just completed a term
of president of his Temple
Brotherhood, in Brookline.
My deep appreciation and
heartfelt - t hanks for your
thoughtfulness. -
Sincerely,
BESSIE W. BLOOM,

JERUSALEM — Addressing
the Knesset, Premier David
Ben-Gurion outlined a seven=
point program on which "we
must clarify our stand before
bringing our position before
world public opinion." These he
listed as:
1. The armistice agreement
with Egypt is dead and buried
and cannot be restored;
2. In consequence, the ar-
mistice lines between Israel and
Egypt have no more validity;
3. There is no dispute what-
soever between the people of
Israel and the Egyptians;
4. We do not wish our rela-
tions with Egypt to continue in
their present archaic state, and
we are ready to enter negotia-
tions for peace, cooperation and
good neighborly relations with
Egypt on the conditiOn that they
are direct negotiations without
any prior conditions on either
side and under no duress from
any quarter.
5. We hope all peace-loving
people will support our desire
to promote such negotiations
with each of the Arab states,
but even if they are not pre-
pared for permanent peace, so
long as they observe the ar-
mistice agreements, Israel for
her part, will do so, too;
6. On no account will Israel
agree to the stationing of a
foreign force, no matter how
called, in her territory or in
any area occupied by her; and
7. Israel will not fight against
any Arab country or against
Egypt unless she is attacked by
them.
The Knesset members, by a
vote of 88 to 3, supported the
government's policy and Ben-
Gurion's declaration. All opposi-
tion parties, including Herut
and General Zionists, with only
the exception of the Commun-
ists, gave a vote of confidence.
