UNITED NATIONS, (AJP) —

about Arab "refugees" has al-

aged to escape the Soviet-dom-
inated satellite countries of East
Europe.
Thousands of daily visitors to
the UN, however, never fail to
notice directly across the UN
compound at First Avenue the
imposing sign between two
tenements which reads:
"United Nations: We demand
the withdrawal of all Soviet
forces and free elections. Help
us! The peoples of Albania,
Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hun-
gary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania,
Poland and Romania — Assem-
bly of Captive Nations."
Rising above the mammoth
sign are 10 flag-pQ.les, one, fly-
Mg the Stars and Stripes at
full mast, and nine, of the
"Captive Natiohs", flying a_t
half mast.
The Assembly of these "Cap-
tive Nations" is composed of
escapees of the nine "conquer-
ed" states who have organized
themselves into "Government in
Exile" and who meet yearly in
a minor "General Assembly"
as a protest against the UN for
tolerating an aggressor as one-
of its members. A voluminous
annual report, containing state-
ments by exiled leaders, is pub-
lished and submitted- to all
member states. The UN dele-
gateS, however, beset with prob-
lems, give little heed to their
protestations and pleas for help.
The exiled leaders hold that
other nations .enjoying freedom
and liberty today may find
themselves in a similar situa-
tion.
Thus, the bitter fate that has
been Israel's for nearly 2,000
years — wanderers among na-
tions without a homeland — has
in our age befallen the peoples
of these nine countries.
The U.S., which professes to
espouse the cause of the free
peoples of the world, is doing
,very little to alleviate the plight
of these refugees.
Why does Washington remain

silent?

NEW YORK (JTA) — Ameri-
cans approve Eisenhower Ad-
ministration handling of the
Israel-Arab dispute by two to
one and believe that if an
Israel-Egyptian war breaks out
again, Egypt is more likely to
start it, the Gallup poll re-
ported.
The nation-wide survey found
that 50 per cent were satisfied
with the way the Administra-
tion has dealt with the Middle
East conflict, 23 were dissatis-
fied and 27 per cent had no
opinion.
Opinion was evenly divided
on the question of whether new
hostilities might break out be-
tween Israel and Egypt, with
36 per cent considering it likely,
34 per cent believing peace will
be worked out and 30 per cent
having no opinion.
Thirty-three per cent felt
Egypt was more likely to start
a new war, with 26 per cent
feeling Israel would take such
action and 41 per cent 'express-
ing no opinion.

Israel's 9th Anniversary
Bong. Martha W. Griffiths,

District, greeted the State of
Israel on its ninth anniversary
Monday by extending remarks
on the occasion in the Congres-

Calling attention to all "that
Israel is here to stay," Mrs.
„Griffiths said that the only hope
for a lasting peace in the Middle
East is by direct negotiations
between the Arab states and
Israel.
She charged the U.S. Govern-
