Javits Asks Showdown with Egypt;
Women's Council Asks Israel Backing
WASHINGTON -- Sen. Jacob
K. Javits called' for a showdown
with Egyptian President' Nasser
shoud Egyptian troops be moved
into the Gaza Strip.
The New York Republican,
speaking before the National
Council of Jewish Women which
concluded its biennial conven-
tion here last weekend, a Is o
called on the Administration to
lead a free world boycott of the
S u e z Canal in an effort "to
bring Nasser to terms."
Sen. Javits urged that $250,-
000,000 in U.S. financial aid be
assured Britain, France . and
other large users of the canal
to help bypass the waterway
if it becomes necessary.
Both Sen. Javits and former
Senator Herbert H. Lehman, hit
hard at the ned for immediate
affirmative United States action
to bring peace in the Middle
East. •
The final day of the meeting
brought a tribute banquet to
Herbert and Edith Lehman, at
which the recently retired Sen-
ator assailed the Eisenhower
administration for c a using
trouble in the Middle East by
a lack of "simple honesty."
, With a galaxy of Senators
and Congressmen present as
guests of Council delegations
from their areas, Lehman cou-
pled a personal pledge to, con-
tinue in public activity with a
stinging rebuke to the State De-
partment for "telling the Arab
leaders one thing and the Is-
raeli leaders another."
He declared t h a t only by
making the Arab states under-
stand that they cannot destroy
Israel "can the designs and
cabals of the Kremlin be frus-
trated."
Earlier, Mrs. Leonard Weiner,
of Detroit, in-
terrupted t h e
convention
schedule to
urge immedi-
date passage of
a resolution on
Israel .and the
Middle East.
"Events have
been moving
s o fast," said
M r s. Weiner,
who was elect-
ed assistant re-
carding secre-
t a r y, "that
Mrs. Weiner Council action
should be taken immediately."
Originally, the resolution was
to come up the following day.
The proposal called for the
U.S. to use immdiately "the
full weight of its p o.w e r,
prestige and authority to pre-
vent withdrawal of the United
.
a
W
.
Nationi from the Gaza Strip,"
and urged the U.S. to actively
support freedom of navigation
in the Suez Canal and the
Gulf of Aqaba. The resolu-
tion was a do pted . unani-
mously.
The Council also adopted res-
olutions dealing with immigra-
tion, civil rights and foreign
economic aid, urging repeal of
the McCarran-Walter Act and
elimination of t he national
quota origins system, voicing
support of President Eigenhow-
er's request for civil rights leg-
islation and stressing support
of economic aid to underde-
veloped countries of the world.-
Mrs. Moise S. Cahn, of New
OrleanS, was elected to a second
two-year term s president of
the National Council. Two De-
troiters were honored with na-
tional otifices . besides Mrs.
Weiner's election, Mrs. Herschel
Kreger was elected to the na-
tional board of directors.

Dag Fails with
Nasser, Presses
Israel Instead
. (Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
•
, UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—On
the basis of information thus
far received here, Dag Ham-
marskjold's mission to Cairo
seems to have met with absolute
failure in that he has not been
able to obtain a single conces-
sion frorft Egypt's, Col. Gamal
Abdel Nasser regarding any one
of the important issues. It is not
known here whether Mr. Ham-
marskjold has even asked Presi-.
dent Nasser the key • question
posed by Israeli-whether Egypt
continues to insist •that it has
"rights by belligerence" vis-a-
vis Israel. -
Best guesses , by observers
here are that, since the Secre-
tary General has failed to get
any concessions from Col. Nas-
ser, and since all• of his prestige
is tied in with his efforts to
obtain- at least some settlements
of the vital Middle East issues,
he will, upon his return, turn
full pressure against Israel in an
effort to get concessions from
the Jewish State.
(On the eve of Hammar-
skjold's departure for Cairo,
fcrur members of the Israel UN
delegation, headed by Israel
Foreign Minister Golda Meir,
had conversations with him and
put the onus for solving the
problem of "right of belliger-
ence squarely on the UN Sec-
retary General. The Israel dele-
gation used that point• as its
major issue.
(It Was understood to have
told Hammarskjold that there
is no objection whatever to
Egypt's return to Gaza—if it is
a peaceful Egypt that goes into
the strip. But the Israelis made
it clear they reserve their' right
of forceful action if Gaza goes
back to Egypt under a state of
belligerence.)
