Dulles Stands by 3-Mile
Rule at Aqaba; Belittles
Concern Over Saudi Crisis

WASHINGTON, (JTA)-- Secretary • of State John
Foster Dulles Tuesday told a press conference that the
United, States remains of the opinion that the three-mile
limit now in.force in the Gulf of Akaba should be main-
tained. He made his position clear in connection with
the recent declaration by Saudi Arabia extending its ter-
ritorial waters in the Gulf of Akaba to a new 12-mile
limit, in order to prevent the passage of ships to and
from the Israeli port of Elath.
Asked whether the transfer of certain major func-
tions of the. King of Saudi Arabia to Prince Faisal indi-
cated an imminent change in relationship between the
United States and Saudi Arabia, Secretary Dulles re-
plied:
"No. We do not consider that this involves any
change in relations. It is not easy to evaluate what has
happened and there are a number of interpretations
that are put upon it, all of them of a speculative charac-
ter. I think it is to be borne in mind that Prince Faisal
has in the past been Prime Minister and Minister of For-
eign Affairs. He gave up those functions because of
illness. He came to the United States, as you will recall,
to have medical attention. While here, he met with the
President and with me. We have no reason whatever
to believe that he is animated by anti-American senti-
ments."
Dulles added that the whole situation in the Arab
world "is in a state of evolution" and it is not easy to
evaluate any event that occurs there because the situa-
tion is considerably in flux. "The creation of the United
Arab Republic and the Federation and matters of that
sort all inject new elements, new forces, into the situa-
tion," he declared. "And it requires close observation
and attention. But we have no reason at the 'moment to
put any unusual evaluation upon what has happened in

•Following, up the call to action in behalf of the 1958 Allied Jewish Campaign,
issued on Tuesday evening, at the public meeting at Temple Beth El, at the offi-
cial opening of the drive for a minimum goal of $6,200,000, 4,000 workers pro-
ceeded to contact nearly 30,000 of last y ear's contributors and thousands of other
potential givers.
The fact that the drive is nearing the half-way mark, as a result of the
announcement made at the conclusion of Tuesday's meeting, that $2,800,000 had
been subscribed thus far, was an incentive to action.
Appeals in behalf of the driVe's obj ectives were made Tuesday by Brig. Gen.
Dan Tolkowsky, head of the Israeli Air Force; Dr. Richard C. Hertz, rabbi of Tem-
ple Beth El; Isidore Sobeloff, executive vice-president of the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration and director of the campaign; Judge Theodore Levin, president of Federa-
tion, and Max M. Fisher, chairman of the drive, who presided at the opening
meeting.
Judge Levin, who opened the meeting and introduced Chairman Fisher,
pointed out that this year's drive coincides with the 20th anniversary of the United
Jewish Appeal, the major beneficiary of the Detroit campaign, and the tenth anni-
versary of the re-establishment of Israel.
The 1957 drive, he said, was the most successful in Detroit Jewry's history,
having reached the impressive total of $ 5,841,000. He gave credit to the thousands
of workers "who felt keenly their kinship with their fellow Jews" for translating
into action their campaign objectives "in accordance with the highest Jewish tradi-
tions."
The set-up of the Detroit campaign organization and the naming of leaders
for various divisions were announced by Fisher in his openina remarks.
Dr. Hertz, in a stirring address, appealed for the drive's b double tasks: the
rescue work overseas "and the preservation of our liberties in America by protect-
ing our existing institutions here."
Rabbi Hertz said it was appropriate to open the campaign in a synagogue
"where Jewish ideals originated." Commending the campaign slogan, "Giving Is
An Art," he said that giving tzedakah is a mitzvah and mitzvah not only means
good deed but also "duty." Once again, he said, "we are out to perform a sacred
duty by aiding the dispossessed and at the same time strengthening the sinews of
Jewry in America." He added:
"Our Allied Jewish Campaign asks you, with one contribution, to give for all
Jewish causes. We ask you to give graciously, cheerfully, selflessly."
Emphasizing that the UJA funds do not support Israel's military needs, which
are met fully by the Israelis themselves, Gen. Tolkowsky said there is nevertheless
"a common denominator between what we do in our armed forces and what you do
in defending our position. It involves your work in assisting immigration to Israel.
There is an important task involved in helping to educate and train the newcomer
whom we integrate in our land. We must house, clothe and feed the immigrant and
(Coninued on Page 5)
turn him into a useful citizen."
