Four modern, fully equipped
buildings, erected at a cost of
$1,250,000, to serve the cultural
needs of Israel's growing popu-
lation, will be dedicated within
the next three months by the
America-Israel Cultural Foun-
dation. They will provide facili-
ties for four major aspects of
the Foundation's program in
Israel: music, art, archaeology
and cultural integration of new
immigrants.
The structures — the Rubin
Academy of Music, Jerusalem;
Museum Ha'aretz-Glass, Museum
and Helena Rubinstein Pavilion
of Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv;
and Shever Community Center,
Beersheba — are components of
a $5,000,000 country-wide build-
ing program undertaken by the
Foundation five years ago.
The largest individual Ameri-
can contribution to this compre-
hensive building program was
that of Samuel Rubin, president
of the Foundation, of $305,000
for the Academy of Music.
Shever Beersheba Center
The entire Negev will be
served by the Shever Commun-
ity Center in Beersheba. This
city of 35,000 inhabitants, one
of the fastest growing in Israel,
has hitherto been without ade-
quate provision for the cultural
life of its settlers, a mixed popu-
lation of new immigrants from
both European and Oriental
lands.
Nathan and David Shever
of St. Louis, former Detroiters,
have contributed $100,000 to
the American-Israel Cultural
foundation for the building,
and the municipality of Beer-
sheba a like amount.
The two story structure de-
signed with consideration of
climatic conditions in the area
includes facilities for teaching
music, art and handicrafts and
will have an auditorium for con-
certs and social activities, a
well-equipped library and gym-
nasium. An outdoor swimming
pool is also being built.
As the gateway to the Negev,
the Shever Center in Beersheba
will serve as the focal point for
the steadily developing program
of the Foundation among new

immigrants in the border areas
of Israel. This program was
launched last year, at the re-
queSt of the government as a
means of integrating newcomers
into the life of the country and
of sustaining their morale in
a- period of tension. It has ex-
tended its activities down to
Eilat, Israel's Southern outpost.
The cultural activities to be
developed in these new struc-
tures will be supported by the
Foundation, which is raising
funds for this purpose through
"Music Under the Stars" pre-
sented ' by the Humanity Club
in association with a Sponsors
Committee of 30, at Flushing
Meadow Amphitheatre, N e w
York, June 4. It is expected that
$100,000 will be realized by this
event, at which Honorable Abe
Stark, President of the City
Council, will be guest of honor,
and headliners of stage and
screen will perform.

Mid-East Crisis
Viewed by Dulles

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News

WASHINGTON—Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles on
Tuesday cited the so-called
"Mansfield Amendment" to the
Eisenhower Doctrine as a mean-
ingful declaration in connection
with the Lebanese crisis. But
he insisted that the United
States was not anxious for a pre-
text to introduce U.S. military
forces into Lebanon.
Dulles stressed the amend-
ment of Sen. Mike Mansfield,
Montana Democrat, as a provi-
sion that might prove important
in the present crisis. This pro-
vision states that the indepen-
dence of Middle Eastern states
is vital to the peace and security
of the United States.
Dulles said he regarded the
Tripartite Declaration of 1950
as applicable. But he described
this instrument as not as power-
ful as the "Mansfield phrase in
the Eisenhower Doctrine reso-
lution." He noted that the Tri-
partite Declaration lacked Con=
gressional approval.
He would not give a categori-
cal answer on whether the
Mansfield measure provided suf-
ficient authority to dispatch
troops without going back to
Congress for further authority.
But he described it as certainly
a meaningful declaration. He
would not comment on what he
described as a hypothetical situ-
ation.
Dulles said he could not eval-
uate the visit of President Nas-
ser to Moscow without knowing
what really went on behind the
scenes. He said the published
communiques were like an ice-
berg which is one-eighth above
the surface and seven-eighths
subfferged.
Generally, Dulles pictured the
Constitutional power of the
President of United States not
as great under the Tripartite
Declaration as if it had received
Congressional approval. He said
the Eisenhower Doctrine resolu-
tion gave greater authority.
The question of an appeal to
the UN Security Council has
been left to Lebanon, Dulles
said. This matter has been dis-
cussed with Lebanon but no de-
cision taken, he revealed.
Dulles said that U.S. plans
to protect Americans in Leba-
non depend on what America
is requested to do by the gov-
ernment of Lebanon. He saw
no present reason to anticipate
such a request.
He said the U.S. was not de-
terred anywhere in the world
from performing its duty by
Soviet threats.

Jewish Leaders Request Austrian Compensations

Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News

WASHINGTON — A delega-
tion representing 22 world and
national Jewish organizations,
comprising the Committee for
Jewish Claims on Austria, con-
ferred here Tuesday with Aus-
trian Chancellor Julius Raab.
The Jewish leaders who met
with Chancellor Raab at the
Shoreham Hotel urged that the
Austrian government f u 1 f i 11
speedily and effectively the ob-
ligations it had undertaken in
the 1955 State Treaty concluded
between Austria and the former
occupying powers—the United
States, Britain, France and the
Soviet Union.
They also called for payment
of compensation to the Austrian
Jewish communities for syna-
gogues and related communal
institutions destroyed during
the Nazi era.
The six-man delegation placed
great weight in the course of
the conference on the fact that
"thousands of Jewish victims of
Nazi persecution, most of whom
were driven out of Austria 20
years ago continue to await
some measure of compensation
for the losses inflicted upon
them."
Many of the victims, they un-
derscored, have reached an ad-
vanced age and live in dire fi-
nancial circumstances.

The delegation pointed out
that the Austrian government
has taken only preliminary steps
to date in meeting the commit-
ments it had undertaken in the
State Treaty to return property
and to restore rights and inter-
ests that had fallen victim to
confiscation under Nazi meas-
ures.
The six leaders were: Dr.
Nahum Goldmann, chairman;
Jacob Blaustein, honorary presi-
dent of the American Jewish
Committee; Frank Goldman,
honorary president of Bnai

Brith; Dr. Israel Goldstein, hon-
orary president of American
Jewish Congress; Dr. Gustav
Jellinek, president of American
Federation of Jews from Aus-
tria, and Dr. Nehemiah Robin-
son, legal adviser to World Jew-
ish Congress.
The Committee for Jewish
Claims on Austria was estab-
lished in 1953 and has for its
principal objective the improve-
ment and implementation of
Austrian compensation meas-
ures for the benefit of Jewish
victims of Nazi persecution.

$1,500,000,000 Trade
Total Between U.S.,
Israel in 10 Years

NEW YORK. (JTA)—Ameri-
cans have invested in 256 new
enterprises in Israel during the
ten years of the existence of
the Jewish State, Nathan
Strauss II, president of the
American-Israel Chamber of
Commerce and Industry, re-
ported at the. annual dinner of
the organization.
He said the total volume of
trade in both goods and serv-
ices between the United States
and Israel exceeded $1,500,000,-
000 during the decade, with
Israel purchasing some $850,-
000,000 worth of goods in the
United States. At the same
time, he announced that the
Chamber's program for the sec-
ond decade called for a total
of $1,500,000,000 in economic
relations between U.S. and
Israel.
Lynn U. Stambaugh, first
vice president of the Export-
Import Bank of Washington.
told the gathering that during
the past 10 years, the United
States Government has pro-
vided Israel with grant and
loan assistance of various kinds
to t a 11 i n g $556,000,000. Mr.
Stambaugh, who headed the
Bank's mission to Israel last
summer, said that while Israel
seemed to be "a young coun-
try still in need of continuing
foreign assistance," it also ap-
peared to be a country "firmly
determined to utilize to the
fullest extent the resources,
both natural and human, which
it possesses."
