NEW YORK (JTA) — The New York Times reported from Ca i r o that a "responsible source" had denied that the United Arab Republic was dis- criminating against Jews as charged by Zachariah Shuster, European director of the Amer- ican Jewish Committee. The Cairo source was quoted as saying that several thousand Jews left Egypt just after the Suez Canal fighting started and that many of them were state- less Jews or held foreign pass- ports. The source told The Times that except in special cases, no one with a British or French passport was being per- mitted entry to Egypt or Syria because diplomatic _relations were suspended with those countries. The Cairo spokesman also was quoted as saying that some Jews emigrated to Israel and had sought re-entry after be- coming dissatisfied with life in Israel but they were barred be- cause the UAR was in "state of war" with Israel. (Dr. Shuster had charged that the UAR has forbidden the re- turn to Arab territory of any Jew who once resided there, but left. More than 25,000 Jews have left Egypt since 1956 be- cause of the persecutory poli- cies of Nasser against Jews. According to Dr. Shuster, the decree is so worded that even Jewish tourists who have spent but a few hours in Egypt are barred from ever returning.) (The new law also reportedly gives the UAR Minister of the Interior the power to denatural- ize any "Zionist," the word "Zionist" not being defined. Any of the 22,000 Jews remain- ing in UAR territory could be deprived of their citizenship at the discretion of the Interior Minister.) Use Jewish News Classifides.
