IHammarskjold Report to UN Insists on Israel's Withdrawal
Attacked
in Warsaw
(Direct JTA. Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
LONDON, (JTA) — A blast
against "forces of conservatism
and ordinary troublemakers"
for attempting to use Jews as
the scapegoat for failures in
Polish life was broadcast on
Radio Warsaw, heard here.
The article declared that "lo-
cal tyrants of Aryan origin" had
used anti-Semitism to "obtain
full absolution" of errors they
had committed. It warned that
elements abroad hostile to Po-
land's regime would not "fail to
exploit anti-Jewish excesses to
blacken the Polish revolution."
It admitted that there had been
such anti-Semitism in recent
months.
In a warning to the Polish
people against accepting the ar-
guments of anti-Semites, the
article declared that "such a
program is not only anti-hu-
manist but also anti-nationalist
in character. This organized ac-
tion by the forces of retrogres-
sion calls for an organized re-
buff," it said.
"Virulent Anti-Semitism"
Grows in Poland, Report Says
NEW YORK, (JTA)—An up-
surge of "virulent anti-Semi-
tism" throughout Poland, both
among the population and in the
Polish Communist party, has
become a "nightmare" to the
Communists who led the Octo-
bei revolt against Moscow con-
trol, the New York Times re-
ported in a dispatch from War-
saw.
The dispatch reported that
party members at meetings
choosing candidates for the Jan.
20 parliamentary elections
shouted "We do not want any
Jewish candidates." It also re-
ported that the Revolutionary-
Students Council of Wroclaw
(Breslau) 'University, a Commu-
nist organization, demanded
the expulsion of all Jewish stu-
dents from the university, ac-
cording to the dispatch.
The report indicated that the
main section of the Polish Corn-
munist party is still Stalinist
and that it has adopted anti-
Semitism to compete with the
anti-Semitic Communist nation-
alists for popular support. 'Many
Jews have withdrawn their
children from public schools,
fearing physical harm: the dis-
patch added, and many of the
surviving 45,000 to 75,000 Polish
Jews are migrating.
Anti-Jewish Riot
in Refugee Camp
VIENNA, (JTA)—More than
1,000 Hungarian refugees were
reported here to have staged
an anti-Jewish riot at the
Siezenheim refugee processing
center. Several persons were re-
portedly brutally beaten and
injured.
The riot was started by non-
Jewish refugees incited by
propaganda that Jews were get-
ting preference in obtaining
entry to the United States,
which is not the case.
$150,000 Bequest
to ADL Allowed
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
will of a Protestant benefactor,
leaving approximately $150,000
to the Anti-Defamation League
of Bnai Brith, was upheld here
by a Queens County judge
who dismissed a family action
against the bequest. •
Officials speaking for .ADI,
said the bequest from Mrs.
Gertrude M: Ellis, of Kew'
Gardens, Long Island, N.Y.,
was the largest ever received
from a non-Jewish donor.
Mrs. Ellis, who died last Jan.
23, left the money to ADL to
establish the Kenneth Malcolm
Ellis Memorial Fund in honor
of her late husband. The
money is to be used for educa-
tion in better human relations.
Mrs. Ellis had become fa-
miliar with the work of ADL
during her career as a teacter
in a Brooklyn high school.
UNITED NATIONS—Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold's
report on the state of the with-
drawal of Israeli, British and
French forces from Egyptian
territory, awaited with consider-
able trepidation, was issued
Wednesday, and turned out to
be comparatively favorable to-
ward Israel.
While insisting that all Is-
raeli forces must withdraw be-
hind the old demarcation lines,
Hammarskjold recognized that
"the international significance
of the Gulf of Aqaba may be
considered to justify the right
of innocent passage through the
Straits of Tiran and the Gulf in
accordance with recognized
rules of international law."
However, he pointed out that
he has not considered a discus-
sion of this point because it
does not "fall within the man-
date" established for him in the
General Assembly resolution of
Nov. 4. This called for "with-
drawal forthwith."
He went on to express a
hope, covertly at least, that
withdrawal would open the
door to a peaceful solution in
the problem of Aqaba which
Israel has been making its
main argument in discussions
with delegations here and
which had evolved the great-,
est sympathy from those with
whom Ambassador Eban and
Foreign Minister Golda Meir
have spoken .
Hammarskjold said that
"withdrawal is a preliminary
and essential phase in a devel-
opment through which a stable
basis may be laid for ,peaceful
conditions in the area:-

Boys Town Speaker
Marvin Kratter, prominent
real estate investor who
recently acquired "the heart of
Brooklyn," Ebbets Field, will be
gueSt of honor at the second
annual dinner of the American
'Committee for Boys Town, Jeru-
salem, Feb. 28, at Hotel Plaza,
New York.
The Secretary General's defi-
nition of the United Nations
Emergency Forces' role was al-
so considered significant and
holding out hope that he fa-
vored and would back a pro-
longed stationing of UNEF
forces at Sharm El-Sheikh com-
manding the Gulf of Aqaba,
from which Egypt had main-
tained its blockade of Israel
shipping, and perhaps also the
Gaza' strip.
He said that the basic func-
tion of UNEF, "to help maintain
quiet," gives the force "great
value as a background for ef-
forts toward resolving such
pending problems, although it
is not in itself a means to an
end."
It would be difficult to see
how the international force
could be such a "background"
if it did not exist in the areas
where it is needed for such a
task most, as in the Aqaba and
Gaza sections. In this connec-
tion, one of the most influen-
tial of ' the Latin American
delegates, Ambassador Fran-,
cisco Urrutia of Columbia, is
suggesting that the General
Assembly should adopt a reso-
lution authorizing Hammar-
skjold to station UNEF forces
in the two areas. The import-
ance to Urrutia's suggestion
is in the fact that he is a mem-
ber of Hammarskjold's Advi-
sory Commission on the Mid-
dle East and a member of the
Security Couticil.
The Secretary General • in his
report also recognized that with-
drawal like the cease-fire would
solve nothing permanently, and
called attention to the fact that
the Assembly, in resolving these
two matters, did not disregard
"all the other aims which must
be achieved in order to create
more satisfactory conditions
than those prevailing during the
period preceding the crisis."
He went on, "some of these
aims were mentioned in the As-
sembly. Others were to be found
in previous decisions of the Un-
ited Nations. All of them call
for urgent attention."
But while the great majority
of the decisions and resolutions
taken in the past concerning the
perenniel "Palestine question"
have been against the Arab
States, including that calling for
an end of the Suez blockade,
the danger lies in the certainty
that the Arab states will take
this to mean that Hammarskjold
was backing a return to the or-
iginal Partition Resolution,
along with the call for the in-
ternationalization of Jerusalem
and the solution of the refugee
problem — the three precondi-
tions the Arabs always insist
'upon for peace talks with Israel.
The report notes 'that as of
Jan. 14, Israel had agreed to
evacuate by Jan. 22 all of the
territory it was holding with
the exception of Sharm El-
Sheikh and the Gaza strip. As
to the former, Hammarskjold
said that Israel was prepared to
enter into conversations with
the Secretary General and the
UNEF commander with the Is-
raeli chief of staff concerning
Aqaba. As to Gaza, he said that
Israel's intentions have not yet
been made known to him.
