: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- ti O Friday, July E-4 g A Pictured at the recent installation cere- mony of the Greater Detroit Bnai Brith Women's Council are these new presidents of BB chapters in Detroit, left to right, bot- tom row: Mesdames LEAH WINTER, Mo- tor City; ABRAHAM WARONOFF, Tik- vah; JACK HORNFIELD, Donald Fox; LEO FOGELMAN, Louis Stone; PHILIP FEALK, Council president; ALBERT LEE, Keidan; DAVID HABERMAN, Pisgah; Miss ZELDA GERSHENSON, Yuster- Rosenberg; WALTER WEINHART, George Gershwin, and Miss DOROTHY FARBER, Business & Professional; standing, Mes- dames IRVING CHADWICK, Oak-Woods; JOSEPH ROSENF EL D, Downtown; BERNARD ABRAMSON, Philip Handler; SANFORD KRITZER, Bloch; SIDNEY SCHWARTZ, Morgenthau; LEONARD G(JRWIN, Israel; MARVIN FULLER, De- troit; SAM MITTLEMAN, Herzl; MOR- RIS PLEASON, Brandeis; and MARTIN FELDMAN, Zager.

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. On Lake Huron — U.S. 23 Greenbush, Michigan Where you will learn how to stay young.
