Warburg Hails JDC's
Resumption of Work
for Jews of Poland
Joint Distribution Committee
and honorary chairman of the
United Jewish Appeal, hailed
the "re-establishment, after an
eight-year lapse, of the tradi-
tional lifeline of aid from the
American Jewish community to
needy Jews in Poland."
Warburg reported that be-
tween V-E Day, 1945 and Dec.
31, 1949, when JDC was asked
to suspend its operations in
Poland, the overseas welfare
agency spent some $20,000,000
on behalf of Poland's needy
Jewish population. He noted that
when JDC was forced to close
its offices at the end of 1949
"it was the first time in 35
years that there was no JDC
office in Poland."
Noting there are an estimated
40,000-50,000 Jews living in
Poland today, including 9,000-
10,000 repatriates, he indicated
that for • a number of months
JDC had been seeking a means
of aiding Jews in Poland.
Arab Infiltratol-s Slain
in Separate Incidents
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Two Arab
t infiltrators were _ killed last
week-end in clashes with Israeli
patrols. One, a Jordanian, died
at Ashdot Yaacob when a gang
of nine Arabs attempted to shoot
it out with an Israel patrol which
surprised them plundering a fish
pool in the settlement.
The second Arab was killed on
the Gaza Strip border when he
and three companions were
caught trying to steal irrigation
pipes.
The complete text of Presi-
dent Eisenhower's message for
Brotherhood Week follows:
"Brotherhood is one of the
most demanding—and most re,
warding — principles in our
lives. Its application is not lim-
ited to our homes or to our
homeland. The responsibilities
of brotherhood stretch around
the world; and wherever men
dwell, their needs and their suc-
cesses are for all to share.
What the Press Is Saying
A Digest of Views in Today's News
Catering to the Arab League
and its thesis that Zionism
rather than Communism is the
root cause of Middle East tur-
moil, Selwyn Lloyd, Britain's
Foreign Minister, assigned the
Palestine dispute a more press-
ing status before the UN Gen-
eral Assembly than the .Syrian
imbroglio.
Lloyd said: "The outstanding
issue for nearly 10 years has
been the conflict between Israel
and the neighboring Arab states
. . . At first, the Soviets were
among the foremost champions
of Israel. It was the votes of the
Soviet bloc that gave the neces-
sary majority for the State •of
Israel. `.;Forebearing to remind
his hearers that Britain had -re-
fused to vote for the partition
Plan, Lloyd added: "It was the
Soviet bloc which first sent arms
to Israel. Now they • represent
themgelves as friends of the
Arab states. Who knows when
their next change of policy will
come about . . .?" •
Lloyd's entry into competition
with Gromyko for Arab favor
led an Israeli correspondent to
include in his report on the Bri-
-ton's speech a hoary adage "He mascus . . . The question is how
who has Britain for a friend far either King Saud or Premier
does not need an enemy."

four decades of enforced isola-
tion and ruthless suppression of
all things Jewish have not suc-
ceeded in eradicating the nat-
ional consciousness of Russian
Jewry. The old Communist claim
that "there is no longer a Jew-
ish problem in the Soviet Union"
has been dramatically disproved
first by the recurrent outburst
of official anti-Jewish utterences,
and lately by the enthusiastic re-
ception accorded by Soviet Jews
to the Israeli delegation about
the Jewish State and its prob-
lems, and demonstrating keen
awareness of their own Jewis-
ness. Many have stressed their
willingness, even eagerness, to
come to Israel if permitted to
leave Russia. Among them were
not' only men and women of the
older generation, who still pos-
sess vestiges of Jewish tradition
and culture, but also young
people who grew up under the
Soviet regime.
Mission to Damascus
Acting in his self-chosen role
NEW YORK (JTA)—The larg-
est group of American leaders
ever to meet in the State of Is-
rael will gather in Jerusalem
next June when the nationwide
United Jewish Appeal expects
more than 1,000 delegates from
communities throughout t h e
United States at an extraordi-
nary three-day UJA anniversary
conference.
Plans for this spectacular
event were made public by Mor-
ris W. Berinstein, president of
the UJA.
The overseas gathering, Berin-
stein said, "will give Jewish
communal leaders and UJA sup-
porters' who will be in Israel /at
a time when its people are cele-
brating their 10th Anniversary
of Independence, the opportun-
ity to see and assess for them7
selves the great humanitarian
achievements they helped bring
into being."
The UJA president pointed out
that the conference will be a
high-spot of the year in which
UJA will mark its own twentieth
year of humanitarian effort.
"During the past two decades
the organization has aided more
than 2,600,000 persons in need
and saved more than 1,300,000
lives," he stated.
