:II To Head Bnai Brith W omen During 1957-58
Increased U.S. Aid to Israel Favored
by House Foreign Affairs Committee
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The
House Foreign Affairs Commit-
tee said it may be advisable to
increase U.S. aid to Israel be-
cause of the sudden upsurge in
immigration of the last few
months.
Reporting on pending foreign
aid legislation, the Committee
indicated a favorable view of
boosting the amount of assist-
ance to Israel in the new fiscal
year. The report said: "It is
anticipated that consideration
will be given to the fact that
our aid program to Israel has
helped that country to expand
its industrial and agricultural
output and to meet the costs of
resettling refugees who found
a haven."
In the last few years, the
committee noted, "allocations
(for Israel) were cut from a
high of $73,000,000 in 1953 to
$25,000,000 in 1956—as immigra-

Soviet Russia Continues Its
Anti-Israel, Anti-Jewish Line
By MILTON FRIEDMAN
(Copyright, 1957, JTA, Inc.)
WASHINGTON—Egypt is de-
picting the Moscow upheaval as
a sensational new "anti-Semi-"
tic purge." But available facts
indicate only the continuity of
existing Soviet anti-Israel and
anti-Jewish policies.
The purge reflects a power
struggle within the Soviet mon-
olith's high command. It has
nothing at all to do with the
historic anti-Zionism shared by
all parties involved. Yet the
Cairo radio gleefully announced
"this is an anti-Semitic purge
designed to eliminate all leaders
who are inclined toward
Zionism."
The Arabs apparently for-
get that it was Dmitri T.
Shepilov, one of the "anti-
party group" purged, who ar-
ranged Russian arms ship-
ments to Egypt. V. M. Molo-
tov, engineered the 1939 Nazi
pact that facilitated Hitler's
• butchery of Poland and Po-
lish Jewry. The record cer-
tainly would not show any of
the purged Communists "in-
clined toward Zionism"
Shepilov's pro-Nasser policy
resulted only in the alignment
of Jordan with the West and
the extension of the Baghdad
Pact through the broader Eisen-
hower Doctrine. Lebanese For-
eign Minister Charles Malik
thinks the purge might actually
bring an end to Moscow's dan-
gerous Middle East adventures.
But there is another considera-
tion. Although Nikita Krush-
chev termed Shepilov "the most
shameless, double-dealing indi-
vidual," Moscow radio insisted
"his role is somewhat overesti-
mated" in connection with Arab
policy.
Cairo radio contends "it is
well known that Nikita Krush-
chev hates the Jews and sup-
ports the Arabs against Israel."
But it is also known that Krush-
chev is contemptuous of the
Egyptian Army's dismal show-
ing in Sinai. He has been re-
ported to have entertained sec-
ond thoughts about tying Mos-
cow to Nasser's unpredictable
kite.
Krushchev today wishes to
convey to the world an im-
pression of peaceful modera-
tion. Hitler-like pogroms
within the Soviet Union
would shatter such a concept.
There appears little likeli-
hood of any tragic new anti-
Jewish measures on a mass
scale.
The truth is that Khrushchev
has in the past expressed dog-
matic, negative opinions about
Soviet Jewry. As party boss, he
denied Jews the rights of or-
ganization and independent ex-
pression in the spheres of cul-
ture, education, and literature.
He did this under a pretext that
Soviet Jews have become fully
assimilated.
At the same time, Khrushchev
subscribed to a view that Jews
should be denied official posi-
tions because this would dis-
please other Soviet peoples who
have produced their own "intel-
lectuals" under Communism. He
contended that Russia's new
thinkers disliked Jews, de-
scribed as "foreigners," and
wanted them barred from im-
portant positions.
An Israeli radio analysis re-
ported that "Soviet politicians
led by Khrushchev have always
acted in accordance with the
old Russian principle that there
is no need to take the Jews into
consideration—inside the state
as well as in the international
sphere." Israel is inclined to
believe Radio Moscow's an-
nouncement to the Arab world
that the anti-Israel policy will
continue.
Egypt, meanwhile, emerged
as increasingly pro-Commu-
nist and anti-American.
American "imperialism" was
described by Cairo's "Voice
of the Arabs" as "a germ
sucking the book of. the
people."
A Cairo broadcast defended
the acquisition of Russian sub-
marines by Egypt. It said: What
is spreading disorder in the
Mediterranean is not three
Egyptian submarines . . . but
the gigantic fleet arriving from
remote American waters to im-
pose the will of the United
States on the Eastern peoples."
Egyptian Ambassador Moham-
med al-Kuni said in a Moscow
address that it was the Soviet
Union that supported "a just
cause, the cause of freedom all
over the world." He credited
Russia with having "defended
the freedom of small nations"
and saving "universal peace
from the danger resulting from
the greed of imperialism." We
have heard those words before.
Like the purge crescendo and
"peace" overtures, they are
from an old, familiar score.
Amos Ben-Gurion
Wins Libel Suit
TEL AVIV—Amos Ben-Gur-
ion, son of Israel's Prime Min-
ister, won a libel suit against
four members of Shurath Ha-
midnadvim who had accused
him in a pamphlet of accepting
gifts "without higher author-
ity" and of having exploited
his position as deputy police
chief. The four were ordered
to pay court casts and a fine
of 5,000 pounds.
