z. w O H E-1 I r- I-4 n e d a vet UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA) — The Eisenhower Ad- ministration appeared last week to be working on the under- standing that Israel would not force any immediate test of transit rights in the Suez Canal. The basis of the American position emerged in develop- ments at the Security Council session convened at the request of the United States to consider an Egyptian declaration on op- eration of the Canal. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., chief of the U.S. delegation, made two key points as the firSt .speaker. The first point was that while the Egyptian declaration "does not fully meet the six require- ments of the Security Council," the Eisenhower Administration would go along with it in the hope that during a "trial per- iod," Egypt could demonstrate that "in practice,' the Nasser regime would operate the .canal in a satisfactory way. The' second point was a re- affirmation of the Eisenhower Administration "assumption" that Egypt would not bar Israeli shipping in the Canal. The Lodge phraseology was that the United States "as- sumes" that "there will in fact tie, as there should be, free and non-discriminatory use of the Canal at all times by the ships of all nations." Israel was informed in ad- vance that Lodge would make that statement. Israeli sources responded, in a statement issued during the debate, that acting on this Am- erican assumption, Israel would .> "in due course and time" test the assumption. The Israeli statement also took note of the United States "advocacy" of a "trial period" for Egyptian operation of the canal on Egyptian terms and agreed the trial period was "necessary." The Israelis deScribecl the need as arising from "the well-- founded apprehensions expres- sed by the French delegation that Egypt will give its own illegal and discriminatory in- terpretation to the 1888 con- vention." The Israeli statement also dealt with a suggestion made by UN Secretary-General Dag . Hammarskjold that Israel's Su- ez Transit rights would ulti- mately rest on a ruling by the International Court of Justice Olo at the-.Hague. Hamniarskjold offered the suggestion at a press conference held the' day before the Secur- ity Council meeting and on the eve of an overseas trip which he indicated might include a stop in Israel. He said he considered "bind- ing" the Sept. 1, 1951 Security C o u n c i l resolution ordering Egypt to open the &fez Canal to Israeli shipping. He also said that Egyptian claims of "rights of belligerence" were in con-_ flict with the 1949 Egyptian- Israel armistice pact and with the 1951 Security Council reso- lution. Having done all . he could "through diplomatic means" to obtain Egyptian compliance, the UN official said, there was nothing left but to turn the 1-11 issue over to the International Court. To this, Israeli sources re- torted, in the UN statement, that "the law does not need confirmation. It requires im- plementation. It is in • the sphere of implementation that the next developments in the Suez question should be sought.' ' Neither Lodge nor the Egyp- tian declaration made any di- rect reference to Israel. It was Julliame Georges - Picot, the. French representative, who twice referred to the 1951 Coun- cil order to Egypt to open the Canal to Israel .shipping and who expressed the fear that Egypt would continue its ille- gal blockade. Meanwhile, the US dispatch- ed the Sixth Fleet to eastern Mediterranean waters and sim- ultaneously cautioned both Is- rael and Arab states against any effort tog capitalize on Jor- dan's internal convulsions in a double-barreled move to keep the tense Middle East situation from getting worse. While Israel kept a close watch on the upheavals in the neighboring Hashemite king- dom, there was a general atti- tude of calm, emphasized by the disclosure that Premier David Ben-Gurion had extend- ed his vacation. Washington sources indicated the Sixth Fleet patrol was a show of force to restrain Egypt, Syria and Israel, although no evidence was offered to indicate that the warnings to Israel were necessary. Representatives of the Presi- dent's Conference, representing 17 national Jewish organiza- tions, reviewed with Secretary Dulles the events in the Middle East as they affect the U.S. and • Israel. Philip Klutznick, Bnai Brith president, spokes- man, refused to elaborate on the specific subjects discussed. Also represented were the Jewish Agency, American Zion- ist Council, American Jewish Congress and JeWish War Vet- erans. The meeting was held at the request of the Jewish lead- ers.

Dl. 1-3575 National Jewish Groups Rip Dulles `Excuse' for King Saud's Policies (•rom JTA and Other Dispatches) Secretary of State John Fos- ter Dulles, who last week linked Saudi Arabia's "continued ex- clusion of American personnel of Jewish faith" with New York Mayor Robert Wagner's refusal to greet King Saud on his ar- rival here last January was at- attacked in bitter tones by three Jewish organizations. The protesting groups were the American Jewish Commit- tee, American Jewish Congress and the Jewish War Veterans. In a statement by the AJ Committee, its president, Irving M. Engel, said that "Secretary Dulles has employed an irrele- vant circumstance rather than acknowledge our own Govern- *ment failure to prevent the assaults on American citizen- ship." The AJ Congress went a step further; stating that the remarks made by Dulles were "incon- Be Fair To Yourself . . DON'T BUY ANY CAR...

Dr. Israel Goldstein, Con- gress president, was spokesman for .the group. National commander William Carmen of the JWV commend- ed the attitude of the city of New York _toward King Saud and characterized Dulles as having made a deal with the monarch that ' discriminates against Americans on the basis of religion. All three organizations sum- med up their statements by in- sisting that by the countenanc- ing of religious discrimination, the State Department has not only insulted American Jewry but also the U.S. Constitution. At his press conference, Dulles had said that the matter of Saudi Arabia's refusal to admit Jewish servicemen to the Dharan airfield was brought up in January, but that King Saud was not very receptive because of the discriminatory treatment he received in New York. The conclusion reached by the AJ Committee, AJ Congress and JWV was that the Administra- tion apparently then dropped the matter completely. 2,754 American Savings "Branch Offices" like this one Louis Kasle of Flint Named To CJFWF Louis Kasle, president of the Flint Jewish Community Coun- cil, has _ been named a member of the campaign planning corn- mittee of the Council of Jewish Federations and Welfare Funds.
