Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News

JERUSALEM (JTA)—An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman voiced guarded
approval of the statement by Secretary of State Dulles on behalf of President Eisen-
hower that the United States would make every effort to prevent aggression by Syria
against her neighbors.
In reply to questions, the spokesman said that Israel "certainly" considered the
Dulles statement a reaffirmation of the Eisenhower Doctrine, that Israel did not con-
sider the statement "too strong" and that it had not disappointed Israel.
However, he stressed, Israel must reserve a more specific opinion of the state-
ment until it had further information from Washington on the United States position
on the entire Middle East complex of problems in connection with Syrian moves. He
added that the Israel government expects to receive such detailed information after a
meeting Thursday between Secretary Dulles and Israel Ambassador Abba Eban who is
back at' his Washington post.

Murphy Says Moscow Exploits Arab-Israel Conflict

NEW YORK (JTA)—Robert. Murphy, Deputy Under Secretary of State, told
a conference of American mayors that there is an increasing interest in solving the
Arab-Israel problem "on the part of the nations contributing troops to the United Na
tions Emergency Force and a new awareness in the United Nations of the need to
enforce compliance with its decisions."
Murphy reported that "Soviet policy seeks to exploit the_ Arab-Israeli problem,
the persistence of which is a basic cause of unrest in the Middle East." He reported
that "recent unhappy events in Syria have made it doubtful that the Syrian govern-
ment can maintain its claim that it is following a policy of positive neutrality." He
said that in the United States view, this situation gives rise to "deep concern." He
stressed that "Egypt, Syria, and Yemen have all received substantial shipments of
Soviet bloc military equipment, followed by substantial numbers of Soviet technicians
to help them operate the equipment."
(In Washington, State Department spokesman Lincoln White declined to com-
ment on a statement by Egyptian Premier Nasser that the "real aim" of U.S. Middle
East policy was to relieve pressure on Israel by splitting the Arabs. White said he
would not comment on Col. Nasser's statement which he described as "apparently
based on false assumptions.")

Dr. lierberg Advises Jews to Stop Fighting
Religious Teachings in Our Public Schools

DENVER (JTA)—A leading Jewish sociologist warned that Jewish "organiza-
tional opposition" will not prevent religious teachings in the public schools and will
have only the result that "religion in the schools will come about in the worst possible
way and the Jewish people will get the worst deal."
Prof. Will Herberg took his one-man campaign against the formal Jewish stand
on the issue to the fifth annual Bnai Brith Mountain States Institute of Judaism. He
was sharply challenged by Dr. Manuel Laderman, of Denver, former chairman of the
Mizrachi National Education Committee, and Sheldon Steinhauser, regional Anti-Defa-
mation League director.
Dr. Herberg, who is professor of Judaic Studies and Social Philosophy at Drew
University, declared that the dominant Protestant church in America "will not stand
for barring religion from the public schools," adding that opposition of Jewish organi-
zations was "incredible, blind, unrealistic." He said he doubted whether Jewish organi-
zational leaders would realize their "untenable position" on the issue in time to change.
Dr. Laderman, disputing Dr. Herberg's thesis, insisted on the importance of main-
taining the constitutional principle of separation of church and state in this area and
said such teaching must be opposed "in the right time and place." Mr. Steinhauser said
he did not share Dr. Herberg's pessimism and that in Ohio, where he had served before
coming to Denver, release time religious teaching was in effect in schools of 130 towns

and cities.

Kidron Warns
UN, Arabs are
Massing Arms

Mordecai It. Kidron (left), Israel's
D e p u t y Representative to the
United Nations, warned the UN Se-
curity Council that the Arab na-
tions are arming "furiously" in
their drive to destroy Israel. He
communicated to the UN his gov-
ernment's stand against a new
United States plea to permit the
UN Emergency Force to patrol Is-
rael's side of the demarcation line
with Egypt. Meanwhile the Jor-

the UN fizzled out. (Detailed story
