Mendelssohn Home
to • Be Destroyed
BERLIN (JTA)—The East
German municipal authorities
in Dessau are preparing to
tear down the house, slightly
damaged in an air raid dur-
ing the last war, in whose
annex philosopher Moses
Mendelssohn was born in
1729.
The "father of Jewish
emancipation" and the first
Jew to translate the Bible
into German, Mendelssohn
was commonly known as
"Moses Dessau" when he
came to Berlin as a young
man.
A monument to Mendels-
sohn used to stand outside
the Dessau railroad station,
but the Nazis carted it away
to the local Jewish cemetery
after their advent to power
and demolished it during the
November pogroms of 1938.
At the house on whose
grounds Mendelssohn w a s
born there is at present a
memorial plaque.
work toward assuring Israel
freedom of passage through the
Suez Canal and the Gulf of
Akaba, as well as guaranteeing
Israel's security from renewed
Egyptian attacks from the Gaza
Strip were made in two state-
ments issued by two separate
groups of prominent American
.educators, clergymen and 'pub-
licists. Both statements demand-
ed the use of the United Nations
Emergency Force as a buffer be-
tween Israel and Egypt.
Approximately 550 w e 11 -
known Americans signed one of
the statements under the lead-
ership of the American Chris-
tian Palestine Committee. The
other request was signed by 13
distinguished American leaders
headed by Elmer Davis, well-
known American writer. The
statement signed by the 'larger
group was in the form of a
letter to President Dwight D.
Eisenhower. It offered a six-
point program, as follows:
1. A buffer zone policed by
the UNEF between Israel and
Egypt until safeguards against
"renewed violence have been
established."
2. The United Nations to
administer the Gaza Strip un-
til final disposition of this
territory has been made.
3. The United States is to

velopment programs for the
entire Middle East, aiding
both Jewish and Arab
refugees.
4. Speedy settlement of the
Suez Canal issue "in the in-
terests of the economies of
all nations."
5. U. S. support of direct
peace negotiations between
the Arab states and Israel.
6. The United Nations
Emergency Force now in the
area is to stay on until "each
of the objectives outlined
above has been attained."
The second statement was
also explicit on the entire Mid-
dle East problem as it affects
Israel's relations with the Arab
states. It demanded that UNEF
remain in the Suez Canal and
Gulf of Akaba areas protecting
freedom of shipping for all na-
tions including Israel. On Gaza,
it stated: "We can permit Is-
rael's stay in the Gaza Strip,
which is not and never has
been Egyptian, until arrange-
ments are completed to ensure
either a buffer zone between
Israel and Egypt or some means
by which Israel will be pro-
tected• from attack and Egypt
from retaliation."

The challenge was contained.

explained that his letter was
motivated by a recent action of
the leaders of seventeen organi-

called for United Nations sup-
port for the Israeli position on
the question of withdrawal of
Israeli troops from territories
occupied during recent hostil-
ities.
