ritain, France Said to Be Major
Sellers of Defense Arms to Israel

L

NEW YORK (JTA)—Britain
and France are the major sup-
pliers of defensive arms to Is-
rael, the New York Times re-
ported in a Washington dis-
patch which drew on diplo-
matic informants for its
sources.
The United States is provid-
ing Israel with a lesser supply
of weapons, the Times said,
describing Washington's sales
to Jerusalem as "the smallest
part of the flow of supplies."
While Washington has neither
agreed to nor rejected an Is-
rael "shopping list" of $75,-
000,000 worth of military sup-
plies submitted late in 1955,
"this country encouraged
Britain. France and Canada to
sell the Israelis such major
weapons as tanks and jets," the
Times report said. Canada was
pictured as not selling Israel

arms at this time.
United States supplies to Is-
rael were said to consist "for
the most part" of anti-tank
guns," including recoilless
rifles. This was said to have
pleased the Israelis because
previous U. S. sales have con-
sisted mainly of semi-military
supplies like trucks, half-tracks,
other vehicles and spare parts.
The limited American arms
sales grew out of an exchange
of letters between Israeli Pre-
mier David Ben-Gurion and
President Eisenhower after the
Iraqi coup last July. Initiated
by Mr. Ben-Gurion, who
pointed out that this develop-
ment had caused Israel con-
cern, the correspondence led
to an exchange of meetings be-
tween Secretary of State John
Foster -Dulles and Israel Am-
bassador Abba Eban.

UNEF Proves Barrier to Real Peace
in Mid-East, General Marshall Says

Brig. Gen. S. L. A. Marshall,
military critic for the Detroit
News, has pointed out in sev-
eral articles in that newspaper,
the failure of UN Secretary
General Dag Hammarskjold and
the apparent uselessness and
obstructionism of the UNEF
forces in the Middle East.
Gen. Marshall notes that any
progress that has been made in
peace negtiations in the Mid
East was made only when Is-
rael and Arab representatives
have sat down together for di-
rect negotiation. The effect of
the United Nations Emergency
Force has hindered this direct
negotiation. Gen. Marshall
quotes one of Israel's diplomatic
negotiators as charging that the
the UN forces have developed
into a bureaucracy with a vest-
ed interest in doing nothing

Israel Bond Women's
Division Starts Cash
Collections Campaign

The Detroit Israel Bond
Women's Division, in coopera-
tion with synagogue Sisterhoods,
will mobilize volunteers for an
intensive cash collection cam-
paign to convert Kol Nidre and
Yom Kippur bond commitments
into purchases. The women's
effort will be launched at a
breakfast meeting at 10 a.m.,
Wednesday, in the home of Mrs.
Norman Allan, 18507 Nor th-
lawn.
The drive will be led by Mrs.
Philip J. Cutler and Mrs. Ben
Z. Freeman, who acted similar-
ly in the 1957 cash collections
program. They will be aided
by Mrs. George I. Liss, Israel
Bond Sisterhoods chairman, and
Mrs. Nathan H. Glenner, Israel
Bond "Chen" chairman.
The meeting will be high-
lighted by the showing of a
film of a recent tour of Israel
made by Mr. and Mrs. Albert
Posen. Lou Levitan, area man-
ager for State of Israel Bonds,
will furnish a commentary
based on his recent return from
the Israel International Mobil-
ization Conference held in Jeru-
salem.
A report will be submitted
at the breakfast meeting on the
post-High Holy Day efforts and
the processing of pledges result-
ing from the meeting held Sept.
21 at the home of Mrs. Julius
Ring, Israel Bond chairman at
Ahavas Achim.

more than maintaining itself in
existence.
The UNEF, rather than seek-
ing solutions or encouraging
negotiations that would have
peace as their eventual goal,
instead contents itself on keep-
ing score as to who fired the
first shot and who molested
whom in the various incidents.
Gen. Marshall says that "they
behave more like detectives
than friends of the court, and
in the end make a craven re-
treat into data, lest speaking
blunt truth based on full infor-
mation prove offensive."
The forces themselves are de-
moralized. Hammarskjold does
not permit any of the men to
fraternize with Israelis, treat-
ing a member nation of the
UN as though it were an out-
law. The forces themselves are
utterly powerless. They can not
interfere in any . activity and
may use their guns only when
fired upon directly. Patrolling
the lonely wastes of the- Gaza,
the men are not permitted to
go to Israel when off-duty, and
may be jailed for doing so, on
Hammarskjold's orders—though
Israel has consistently welcomed
the men.
Gen. Marshall suggests that
the UN forces have little to do
with keeping Gaza peaceful and
in fact hinder direct negotia-
tions which might prove fruit-
ful. In the Middle East, at
least, the UN is little more
than a line of flags. "It must
cost a general's pay simply to
keep the army in flags," Gen.
Marshall observes.

Charge Soviet Plans 'Pogrom Provocation'

NEW YORK (JTA)—The So-
viet government is preparing a
"pogrom provocation" against
Russian Jews, according to a
Paris report in Jewish Daily
Forward, from the newspaper's
Paris correspondent, Abraham
Schulmann.
Schulmann reported he
learned the details of the Soviet
plan to provoke large numbers
of Russian Jews into "illegal
Zionist" actions from a former
Polish Jew recently repatriated
by the Soviet Union.
The repatriated Polish Jew
could not be identified by name
because he still has members of
his family living in the USSR.
He spent 19 years in the Soviet
Union, after fleeing Kallisch,
Poland, following the German
invasion in 1939.
Recently, according to the
Jew, while he was teaching
school in a Ukrainian city, he
was summoned late one night
to the headquarters of the So-
viet secret police. A high police
official ordered him to commu-
nicate with leading Jews in his
area and organize a secret Zion-
ist cell. He was told that he
would be provided with illegal
pro-Zionist materials and that
he would be expected to get
members of his cell to spread
this material.
According to Schulmann, the
Jew was recalled to secret po-
lice headquarters a number of
times after he had refused to
form a Zionist cell. The Jew
said that he learned from his
interviews with political police
officials that he was expected
to provoke Russian Jews to con-

Israel Court Rejects
Claim of Iraqi's 'Heir'

TEL AVIV (JTA)—The Dis-
trict Court here rejected an
application from Abraham Maz-
liah, 17-year-old Israeli, to de-
clare him a grandson of Nuri
as-Said, murdered Premier of
Iraq.
The court did not rule on the
merits of the case, but merely
stated it was not competent to
pass such a judgment. Mazliah
needs a declaratory judgment
of a competent court in order
to file in Britain claims to the
property in Britain and Switzer-
land of his alleged grandfather
and father.
The court noted that both
Nuri as-Said and his son Sabba,
alleged father of the young man,
were Moslems and that under
Moslem law the status of his
grandson must be decided by a
Moslem religious court.
Immediately after the deci-
sion was handed down, Max
Kritzman, attorney for Mazliah,
announced that the would soon
file a claim for recognition be-
fore the Moslem religious court
of Shaaria in Jaffa.

S. Africa Premier
Pledges Friendly
Policy to Jewry

JOHANNESBURG, (JTA) —
The Jewish community of South
Africa had assurance from the
new Premier, Dr. Hendrik Ver-
woerd, that he would pursue the
same sympathetic policy toward
South African Jewry and Israel
as did his predecessors, Dr. Dan-
iel Malan and Johannes G. Strij-
do in .
The new Premier made his
statement to the Johannesburg
daily, Die Vaterland, which
made the statement its main
page one story under the _head-
line, "The Premier on His Jew-
ish Policy." The newspaper ask-
ed the Premier for the state-
ment after publication of a re-
port in an Israel daily alleging
that South African Jews feared
the new Premier would intro-
duce an anti-Semitic policy and
place restrictions on South Afri-
can Jewry's aid to Israel.
The report was denounced by
Max Melamet, chairman of the
Capetown section of the Board
of Jewish Deputies, as "non-
sense," when he was asked for
comment by the Capetown Na-
tionalist newspaper, Die Burger:
"This is the sort of unfounded
and nonsensical comment over-
seas concerning which the gov-
ernment is justified in com-
plaining," the Jewish leader
said. "Similar comment also was
made about Malan and Strij-
dom, although the truth was
that their attitude toward the
Jewish community was friendly
and highly appreciated by the
Jewish community. We know of
no reason for it to be different
under Premier Verwoerd."
Israel Dunsky, chairman of
the Zionist Federation of South
Africa, in a letter to the Pre-
mier, extended his "heartiest
congratulations and best wishes"
upon his accession as the sixth
Premier to the Union. "May
South Africa under your lead-
ership continue to go from
strength to strength and enjoy
peace and prosperity," Duasky
wrote
