Middle East Friends
to Move to Washington

WASHINGTON (JTA)—Anti-
Israel propaganda organizations
are increasing their operations
in Washington. President Har-
old B. Minor of the American
Friends of the Middle East has
confirmed that his group will
move its national headquarters
to Washington in September.
The Rev. Edward L. R. Elson,
President Eisenhower's pastor.
is AFME's Washington repre-
sentative and a member of its
board of directors. AFME has
carried on continuous anti-
Israel propaganda, favoring the
Arab cause generally and espe-
cially propagandizing against
Israel on the Ara b refugee
issue.
The Arab information center,
supported by the Arab League,
now shares office space with
the so-called "continuing com-
mittee on Muslim-Christian co-
operation." Operations were
opened here in June by the
Arab Information Center, a re-
gistered foreign agency.
T h e anti-Zionist American
Council for Judaism opened a
Washington office a few weeks
ago to maintain contact with
the national scene.
