Sullivan to Visit
Israel as ZOA Guest Birobidjan Broadcast
Ed Sullivan, of TV fame,
noted newspaper columnist, will
leave this month on a visit to
Israel at the invitation of the
Zionist Organization of America,
Jacques Torczyner, ZOA admin-
istrative vice president, an-
nounced. This will be Sullivan's
first visit to the State of Israel.
While in Israel, Sullivan will
select a caravan of the Jewish
State's top entertainers who will
tour the United States from
coast to coast under the auspices
of the ZOA.
The entourage, to be known
as the Ed Sullivan-ZOA Cara-
van of Stars, will be launched
on their nation-wide tour on his
Sunday TV show in O c t o b e r.
Twentieth Century Fox Studios
will audition them when they
appear in Los Angeles. Their
tour will be climaxed with a
mammoth performance in New
York as part of the ZOA's Israel
tenth anniversary celebrations.
A farewell reception to Ed
Sullivan, who has just celebrated
his own tenth anniversary of
telecasting on CBS-TV, will be
tendered him by the ZOA on
Monday.
Sullivan, who has been an
active' supporter of the Zionist
cause for many years, first be-
came identified with the ZOA
in 1949 when he acted as chair-
man of the 'ZOA's Friendship
Train during Israel's War of
Independence. He led a parade
of cars and trucks through the
streets of New York loaded with
food which was reviewed by
Mayor William O'Dwyer, on the
way to the docks for shipment
to the embattled State. He also
participated in the first raising
of the Israel flag in New York's
City Hall.
In 1951, Sullivan was chair-
man of the ZOA's third Israel
anniversary celebration, in Madi-
son Square Garden, whence he
telecast his nationally viewed
program as part of the birthday
party.
He will be accompanied on
his visit to Israel by Mrs. Sul-
livan.
LONDON (WJA)—A special
feature devoted to the 'Jewish
Autonomous Oblast' of Biro-
bidjian was broadcast by Mos-
cow radio's Engnish service
at the end of July, bringing
the number of programs on
the Jewish Republic to five
since last April, the World
Jewish Congress information
department reports here.
Listeners were introduced
to Leiba Reznick, whose open-
ing words in Yiddish were re-
corded and followed by an
English translation. He was
said to have been one of the
first settlers in Birobidjan who
had come from the Ukraine in
1929 and whose family was one
of the eight founder families
of the village of Voldkhaim.
The village now had more than
200 families.
It raised wheat, corn and
vegetables but made most of
its money on stockbreeding.
Last year it had an income
of 3,000,000 roubles. Reznik
would soon be retiring and
the farm had assigned him
6,000 roubles a year as a re-
tirement benefit.
Similar recordings and
translations of a statement
made by Solomon Kadiner,
deputy chairman of the Oblast
Soviet Executive who had
come to Birobidjan in the
thirties, followed.
The feature ended with the
reading of a poem in praise
of the Oblast by Aron Brom-
frun, a contributor to 'Biro-
bidjaner Shtern.'
Israel's 'Arab Front'
Denies Hostility to State
TEL AVIV, (JTA)—Leaders
of the "Arab Front," recently-
formed organization of Arabs in
Israel, denied in a press con-
ference that their group was a
political party or that it was
hostile to the state.
They also denied that they
had any contact with the Com-
munists, although a number of
prominent Arab Communists
are among the leaders of the
organization.
The organization's spokesmen
—the head of a local council,
of landowners and lawyers—said
that the Front's objective was
elimination of all discrimina-
tion against the Arabs, abolition
of military administration of
Arab areas of the country, elim-
ination of the need for move-
ment permits for Arabs and
abolition of "anti-Arab" land
laws.
Cape Council Tightens
Discrimination Policy
JOHANNESBURG, (JTA)—A
resolution declaring that "a hos-
pital official shall be guilty of
misconduct if he discriminates
on religious grounds in carry-
ing out his official duties" was
adopted by the Cape Provincial
Council.
The resolution was adopted
following charges by Mayor A.
Z. Berman, deputy leader of the
United Party in the Council,
who alleged there had been
anti - Jewish discrimination
against a Jewish applicant for
the chair of anatomy at Stellen-
bosch University.
National Party leaders denied
there had ever been anti-Jewish
discrimination at the university
or at Stellenbosch Hospital.
AJC Leaders Outline
Views in Argentina
Revisionists Appeal for U.S. Arms Aid to Israel
NEW YORK (JTA)—An ap-
peal to the United States Gov-
ernment to conclude a mutual
security pact with Israel and to
see to it that Israel is "inte-
grated into the mutual defense
network of the free world" was
made by the United Zionists
Revisionists of America in a
half-page paid advertisement in
the New York Times.
Declaring that "Pan-Arabism
is new Hitlerism" and warning
that "Nasser must be stopped
lest freedom perish," the Zion-
ist Revisionist appeal says
among other things:
"Israel is the main target for
the arrows of Nasserism and
Communism. Khrushchev a n d
Nasser know well that Israel,
a truly democratic and stable
country in that area, cannot be
cowed and cannot be subverted.
They are therefore out to de-
stroy Israel, a major obstacle
to their conquest of the region.
"The U.S. still has staunch
and powerful friends in the Mid-
dle East. Let us give them our
full support to withstand the
onslaught of Khrushchev and
Nasser. The security of the U.S.
and the survival of western
civilization demand that the
U.S. strengthen its ties with
Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Pakis-
tan and Israel."
BUENOS AIRES, (JTA) —
The deep interest of American
Jewry in Israel was emphasized
at a press conference here by
Irving M. Engel, president of
the American Jewish Commit-
tee, who is heading a delegation
of his organization now visiting
Latin American countries for
the first time, and developing
closer contact with Jewish com-
munities there.
The delegation was received
on Tuesday by Argentine Presi-
dent Frondizi, but it did not
discuss with him matters affect-
ing Argentine Jewry. The pur-
pose of the delegation was to
obtain a better knowledge of
the Jews in Latin America, and
to establish a better mutual
understanding with Jews and
non-Jews there, according to
Jacob Blaustein, honorary AJC
president.
Dr. John Slawson, executive
vice-president of the AJC, em-
phasized the advantage of each
Jewish community in each
country working through its
own government, and said that
the delegation is repaying a
visit which leaders of Argentine Zionists-Revisionists
Jewry made to New York last Criticize B-G Refusal
year to participate in the 50th of Jabotinsky Re-burial

America has published a state-
ment criticizing the decision of
the Ben-Gurion cabinet not to
transfer the remains of Vladimir
(Ze'ev) Jabotinsky to Israel. In
a will made in 1935, Jabotinsky
stipulated that in case of death
he should be buried in the land
of his departure and that a
Jewish Government in Israel
should transfer his remains to
the Jewish State.
Jewish organizations in the
diaspora and in Israel, including
the World Zionist Congress.
have repeatedly called on the
Israel government to carry out
Jabotinsky's testament, the .com-
mittee said. Last month General
Zionist members of the Knesset
again raised the question in the
Parliament. Minister of Justice,
Pinhas Rosen, leader of the
Progressives, requested that the
cabinet order the transfer of
Jabotinsky's remains. The Mapai
Ministers, headed by Ben-
Gurion, rejected this request,
deciding that the Israel Govern-
ment should not transfer to
Israel the remains of any Zionist
leaders who died outside of the
country.
