TEL AVIV (JTA)—At the energetic insistence of Premier David Ben-Gurion, the Mapai central committee moved in an extraordinary session to end the 10-week old strike of 1,700 workers in Haifa's ATA Works, the biggest textile plant in Israel. Mapai's central committee decided to urge the Histadrut executive to take upon itself the handling of the strike and maintain direct contact with the strikers, by-passing the Haifa Labor Council. The decision was adopted unanimously by a vote of 111 in favor, none against and 12 abstentions. The secretary of the Haifa Labor Council, Yos- sef Almogi, who is considered J.

These advertising periodicals — some of them shopping guides without any news value—are sending out solicitations by attaching copies of adver- tisements clipped from Jewish News holiday issues, thereby giving the false impression that they are Jewish newspapers and that these advertisements appeared in their columns previously. The Jewish News calls the attention of the community to the fact that it is the ONLY Jewish newspaper published in Michigan. The Jewish News has no connection whatsoever with the soliciting newspapers that are misrepresenting local merchants by approaching them with copies of our ads. It stands to reason that we do not condone such mis- leading solicitations. Advertisers are warned not to be misled by the similarity of type, for- mat and context in those ads which were extracted from The Jewish News and are being used by unauthorized newspapers. UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., (JTA)—Disturbed over angry Arab reactions here to Prime Minister H. S. Suhrawardy's remarks regarding the Arab- Israel issue, the Pakistani dele- gation put out a press release insisting that Suhrawardy's statement does not imply any change in Karachi's basic policy towards the Palestine problem. In Karachi, a statement was issued by the Foreign Ministry declaring that Pakistan has not recognized Israel and "shall never do so." The statement said that the remarks made by the Pakistani Prime Minister, who is now visiting the United States, in which he offered to mediate the Arab-Israel dis- pute, were "misunderstood." "The Prime, Minister has authorized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Common- wealth Relations to state that interpretations which have been placed on his statement do not reflect his true intention," the statement said. "What the Prime Minister had desired to stress was the necessity of solving the Arab- Israeli dispute -over Palestine in a peaceful manner." 6I `9Z 41111 Urgent Warning to Advertisers To Beware of Misrepresentations Suhrawardy's Offer All a Mistake, Pakistan Back in Arabs' Corner
