Neumann added that, despite the withdrawal of. the Israeli forces, the Sinai campaign had greatly enhanced Israel's posi- tion in the eyes of most of the nations in the world, bring- ing the Jewish State many new friends from Asia and other regions: Declaring that a four-power conference on Israel at this time. may prove detrimental to the Jewish cause, Dr. Neumann . • indicated that such a confer- ence may lead to a compromise solution at the expense of Israel. He urged the ZOA to be on the alert for an immediate counter-move. in the event of such an eventuality. Bitter against the idea' that Israel might be asked to sur- render some of her territory, Dr. Neumann, somewhat jest- ingly, said that "maybe we should ask for more along with the ideas of Menachem Beigin." The second speaker at the opening session was Joseph Serlin, member of the Knesset: Calling tor an end of the present regime in Israel, Serlin stated that, there is a growing tendency in the Yishuv—in all parties including even the Mapai—to seek an out from Histadrut control of the na- tion.

It also urged the government to utilize the occasion of the forthcoming NATO Conference' in Paris for the purpose of "extending fullest and widest international support to the democratically oriented coun- tries of the Middle East." The meeting approved a statement of policy to this effect pres- ented by Dr. Emanuel Neu- mann, ZOA president, following his review of the current de- velopments affecting Israel and the Middle East.

After a series of court ac- tions, the Turkish High Court last week upheld the Israeli contention that the vessels were outside Turkish waters when apprehended. The court ordered the three boats re- turned to Israel. They are ex- pected to return to Haifa by the week-end. A third trawler seized by the Turks was reported to have sunk while anchored in port. There was no guard aboard the vessel when it' foundered, according to reports from Is- kandrun. An insurance com- • pany which had covered the vessel worth 40,000 pounds is investigating the circumstances. STAR SPANGLED REVUE HENRY-EDSEL FORD AUDITORIUM Current Rat.
