Questions and Answers:

Is Zionism getting the wrong
kind of publicity? The ques-
tion is justified. For the last
few months, a number of prom-
inent American Zionist leaders
have appeared on television
programs which specialize in
controversial issues . . . We re-

fer to the NIGHT BEAT inter-
views which were run by Mike
Wallace and are now handled
by a fellow named Wingate .. .
In these interviews under the
guise of impartiality Zionist
leaders have been asked ques-
tions about dual loyalty and
whether they are first Ameri-
can, then Jews and thirdly
Zionists in that order . . Al-
though the Zionist spokesmen
answered intelligently and con-
ducted themselves with proper
digni ty the general impression
prevailed that Zionism is a con-
troversial subject which has
split American Jewry . .. From
a public relations point of view
such interviews are bad pub-
licity . . . Zionism has long
ago emerged from its contro-
versial stage ... The establish-
ment of the State of Israel
should have, once for all, elim-
inated controversial aspects for
the fact is that the overwhelm-
ing majority of Jews the world
over 'are pro-Israel and indis-
tinguishable from organized
Zionists except for a few die-
hards of the Council of Juda-
ism . . . It is therefore poor
statesmanship on the part of
Zionist leadership to lend it-
self to such TV programs which
renew and emphasize a poleini-
cal atmosphere around Zion-
ism, an atmosphere which in
fact does not exist . . And in-
cidentally, when we mention
Zionist leadership we do not
mean the leadship of the
American Zionist organization.

dle East by Syrian develop-
ments and the supply of arms
to all of Israel's Arab neighborS,
including Soviet shipments to
Syria and Egypt and Eisenhow-
er Administration arms deliver-
ies to Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq

rotary Dulles will include other
matters affecting Middle East
peace, the economic burdens
created for Israel by the arming
of its neighbors, issues before
the United Nations and all top-

ics considered in Jerusalem
where Eban was in consultation
with the government prior to
his return to the U.S. last week.
He will alsb inform Dulles on
Israel's views on the U.S. posi-
tion on Syria, as stated by Sec-
