Dr. Fatemi Clarifies ME Issues
in Speech Before 3,000 Club Women

Chapter two of an Arab-Israel
controversy that generated much
discussion at the annual meet-
ing the General Federation of
Women's Clubs was continued
last Friday just before the 3,000
delegates left for their homes
throughout the United States
and several countries around
the globe.
The speaker was Dr. Nasrol-
lah Saifpour Fatemi, former
head of the Iranian delegation
to the United Nations and now
a professor of social science at
Farleigh Dickinson C o 11 e g e,
Rutherford, N.J.
Dr. Fatemi's calm approach,
which sought to show how peace
can, be established in the Middle
East, was in striking contrast to
the blast of Arab propaganda
that :came from the same plat-
form two days earlier when Dr.
Fayei Sayegh, counselor at the
Arab States delegation in New
York, spoke to the representa-
tives of 80,000,000 women from
all parts of the world.
Sayegh, who had been in-
vited back to the convention
when Dr. Fatemi spoke Friday
(in order to give expression
to both sides of the issue),
found himself completely frus-
trated and unable to provoke
Dr. Fatemi into a debate on
Side issues.
As a matter of fact, Sayegh,
at one point found himself in
embarrassing agreement with
Dr. Fatemi when he allowed
that Egypt's Col. Nasser was the
only Arab ruler in the Middle
East who could effect peace
with Israel.
Dr. Fatemi, after explaining
to the women who crowded into
the Ford Auditorium the signifi-
cance of the area to the entire
world, said that the Middle East
is suffering from four impor-
tant conflicts.
These, he said, were "The
East-West conflict; social and
economic conflict; inter-regional
conflict, and the Arab - Israeli
conflict."
Dr. Fatemi added that "to
settle these conflicts we have
to use all the wisdom and lead-
ership we can muster. This lead-
ership can only come from the
United States through the
United Nations."

The Iranian leader warned
that "the Soviet Union, which
always tries to fish in troubled
waters, is trying to use the pov-
erty, illiteracy, conflict and the
inefficiency of the leaders of
the area to prolong and aggra-
vate the turmoil and chaos, and,
unfortunately, so far, she has
had some success in her sinister
plans."
Dr. Fatemi proposed that U.S.
leadership must bring before the
UN a plan to end all arms ship-
ments to Israel and the Arab
countries, and called for a "just
settlement of the Arab refugee
problem."
He indicated that any set-
tlement would include send-
ing a number of refugees back
to Israel and development of
a waterway capable of irrigat-
ing thousands of acres of arid
desert land in Lebanon, Syria,
Jordan and Israel to be used
for the settlement of Arab
refugees. _
His overall plan would also
treat the Middle East as a single
economic unit, and all aid would
be to the entire unit rather than
to individuals. Dr. Fatemi said
this would help to "develop
water resources, improve edu-
cation, help sanitation, build
better roads and use energy for
peace instead of destruction."
Israel, which joined the Gen-
eral Federation of Women's
Clubs less than a month ago,
was represented at the week-
long conference by Mrs. Yaacov
Herzog, wife of Israel's Minister
Plenipotentiary in Washington,
and Mrs. Michael Simon, wife of
the Consul General in Montreal.

Three Alumni Groups
Boycott Meeting at
Biased Resort Hotel

NEW YORK (JTA) — Three
alumni. associations have boy-
cotted a conference of t h e
American Alumni Council be-
cause it has been scheduled at
the Lake Placid Club, target of
charges of anti-Jewish discrim-
ination.
The three groups are those of
New York University, Sarah
Lawrence College of Bronxville,
N.Y., and the Alumni Associa-
tion of the City College of New
York. Each gave as the reason
for the boycott action a finding
of the New York State Commis-
sion Against Discrimination that
the club discriminated against
Jews. The Commission ruled,
however, that as a private hotel,
the club was not subject to the
state's anti-bias laws.
Alumni leaders of Rutgers
University will attend the meet-
ing scheduled for June 22-26,
but have protested the site.
Long Island University alumni,
who will not be at the confer-
ence because of prior commit-
ments, also have registered com-
plaint.
Ernest T. Stewart, executive
director of the alumni council,
said that the contract for use
of the • Lake Placid Club was
signed before fife club was pub-
licly charged with anti-Jewish
bias last month in connection
with plans of the New York
State Conference of Mayors to
meet there. The mayors can-
celled plans to meet at the club
after a special meeting.
