By DAVID HOROWITZ
UNITED NATIONS, (AJP)—
Dr, Charles Malik—Foreign
Minister of Lebanon, better
known to the world as the
"Philosophical" spokesman and
veteran of the Arab campaign
against Israel at the UN—has
thrown in his hat for the Presi-
dency of the 12th General As-
sembly which opens Sept 17.
Although the Asians were
represented in the previous As-
sembly by President Prince
Wan of Thai-
land—and the
Middle East is
considered
part of the
Asian geogra-
phy—Dr. Malik
still insists on
securing this
high honor
chiefly on the
grounds till a t
there. was
never an Arab
in that august
Lesli-e Munro and highly-
coveted presidential chair of
the World's Parliament of Man.
If this is so, it is- only be-
cause the great bias of the
Arabs against a member state
—Israel—which precluded them,
not by formal consent, but by
the sharper laws of intuition,
from being entrusted with that
responsible office.
But now Dr. Malik insists on
the office. He has
h ,even put out
a statement that his bids for
the 12th Asseinbly and for none
other. In UN language this
means that he will not be
talked out of it by promises
about the future—and he has
in fact sent a special emissary -
to the UN to "round-up" dele-
gations on his behalf.
Dr. Malik is not likely to at-
tain his ambition—despite his
mastery of diplomatic decor,
parliamentary procedure and
his firm grasp of the art of
oratory as a force in diplomatic
battles. One reason why he does
not stand any chance of being
elected is the fact that he is
being opposed by New Zea-
land's Sir Leslie Munro who
appears to have not only the
votes but even U.S. support.
The latter point is interesting
because Washington is prepared
to come to grips with the ques-
tion of peace in Palestine, but,
Obviously, in this ticklish task
does not trust Dr. Malik's
claims to "objectivity"—despite
his recent hints to the contrary
and despite his support of the
Eisenhower Doctrine.
Dr. Malik's attempt to strike
a pose of objectivity comes
rather hard, The philosopher-
diplomat from Lebanon has let
it be known that he stands by
the Palestine resolution of 1947
—which recognizes the State
of Israel. But in this respect he
is no different from all the
other Arab leaders who now
espouse that resolution because
it would deprive Israel of al-
most one-third of her territory
—the whole of Jerusalem, part
of Galilee , Jaffa, etc. Dr. Malik
must know that this .would be
the recognition of a living
c&pse.
There is a little known story
which sheds some light on Dr.
Malik's "objectivity." He was
the President of the Security
Council when the Palestine
question was debated in that
body at a most crucial point.
According to UN custom of ob-
j
• he should have turned
ectivity,
the chair over to -the next
month's president who—as it
happens by the irony of events
—was Sir Leslie Munro, the
very man he now opposes. Dr.
Malik, after hemming and haw-
ing for one week, relinquished
his chair to Munro only two
hours before the meeting, leav-
ing the New Zealander almost
completely unprepared to han-
dle the Council as smoothly as
UN standards require.
As for as Israel is concerned,
no stauncher nor more faithful
friend could be found than
the veteran UN delegate from
New Zealand, Sir Leslie Munro.
His tenure as President of the
12th General Assembly can only
serve to enhance Israel's posi-
tion here.. The reverse would
prove the case in the event Dr.
Malik would realize his ambi-
tions.
Report Approval of $45,000,000 in
French Credits for Israel Expansion
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — An
agreement to implement - the
expanded French credit for $45
million to Israel was signed,
and some of the equipment pur-
chased with these credits has
already arrived in this country
it was learned here in informed
circles.
Included among the projects
to be financed by the French
credits are the expansion of
existing port facilities at El••th,
the construction of additional
pipeline facilities to and from
that harbor and municipal sani-
tation projects.
It is understood here that

tain from other Western coun-

States, political and financial
backing for the projects which
the French are already aiding.

Two Jewish Families Evicted from
Home, as Polish Police Refuse to Act
LONDON, (JTA) —With the
connivance of the police author-
.ities and the approval of gov-
ernment officials, two Jewish
families in Wroclaw (Breslau),
Poland, were evicted from their
home after being brutally as-
saulted by Polish anti-Semites,
according to a report in the
latest issue of "Die Folkstim-
me," Yiddish-language daily
newspaper published in War-
saw.
Under Polish law, Jews re-
patriated to Poland from the
Soviet Union are permitted to
occupy homes vacated by Polish
Jews who have emigrated to
Israel. In the instance reported
to "Die Folkstimrne" by its Wro-
claw correspondent, A. Stark, a
Polish-Jewish family - named
Bornstein left Wroclaw last
month for Israel, turning over
their home to two cousins,
Joseph Kogut and Samuel
Cooper who, with their families,
including several young chil-

dren, had just been repatriated
from the Soviet Union.
Stark's dispatch reports that
he had been notified that anti-
Semites had broken into the
home, smashed the furniture,
piled the remainder of the be-
longings of both families into
a dark corridor, and occupied
the home.
Stark, who visited the Kogut-
Cooper home, found a Polish
family in occupation of the
home. The police, who-had been
summoned by Kogut were on
the threshold, but told Stark
their job was only to report to
the city prosecutor, but to take
no other action.
The secretary of the Wroclaw
branch of the United Associa-
tion of Jewish Cultural Organ-
izations notified the city com-
mittee of the Communist Party
and the City Council on Nation-
al Minorities. The latter is a
governmental body charged
with protecting the rights of
minorities, including repatriated
Jews.
Stark reports no action taken
by the Communist Party lead-
ership of Wroclaw in regard to
the clear violation of Com-
munist Party directives. The
