UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —
Mrs. Golda Meir, Foreign Minis-
ter of Israel, Tuesday chal-
lenged the entire United Na-
tions to close the gap between
pious expressions for "good
neighbor" policy in the Middle
East and Arab-Soviet attacks
against her country.
In a formal address before
the plenary meeting of the Gen-
eral Assembly—a speech con-
sidered by most observers as
the sharpest she has ever de-
livered here—Mrs. Meir:
I. Told Andrei A. Grornyko,
Foreign Minister of the Soviet
Union, that he has been busy-
ing himself with "resurrecting
lobby gossip" by accusing Israel
of readiness to invade Jordan
when the British troops' are
withdrawn from that country.
2. Accused Iraq and Saudi
Arabia, whose representatives
had addressed the Assembly
last week, of violating the dig-
nity of the United Nations and
impairing its principles by say-
ing that the "crux" of the Mid-
dle East is Israel's existence
and by calling for the dissolu-
tion of Israel.
3. Threw down the gauntlet
to the type of Arab nationalism
which in its aggressiveness re-
sembles expansionist imperial-
ism.
4. Insisted that any economic
development plan for the Mid-
dle East—like the one proposed
to the special emergency ses-
sion of the Assembly last Au-
gust by President Eisenhower—
must include all countries in the
region.
Mrs. Meir prefaced her ad-
dress with an expression of
"deep anxiety" for the health
of the stricken Pope Pius XII,
adding here a "respectful
wish for his full and speedy
recovery."
Then she launched into an
attack on the enemies of Israel
who had spoken in the debate.
Jewish leaders and organizations throughout the world
joined on Thursday in mourning the passing of Pope
Pius XII.
It is recalled that Pone Pius had interceded many
times in behalf of victims of Nazism; that the Vatican had
aided in rescuing many Jews and that the deceased Pope
was one of the most hospitable and most charitable leaders
of our time.
Pope Pius, on several occasions, received Jewish
delegations,. including spokesmen for the United Jewish
Appeal.
He was instrumental in aiding Jewish scholars who
desired to do research work at the Vatican.
Dr. Leon Frain was among the Detroiters who, late
Wednesday night, joined in paying tribute to the Pope's
memory.
She told the Assembly that the
distinguished Foreign Minister
of the Soviet Union, in the
course of his speech last Thurs-
day saw fit to resurrect what
in the emergency special ses-
sion a few weeks ago he de-
scribed as talk in the lobbies
about possible action by Israel
if British troops leave Jordan.
The answer to this lobby gos-
sip was given in unequivocal
terms by Israel's representative
who said:
"Our policy as I have just ex-

"This statement applies with-

the distinguished Foreign Min-
ister that despite his innuen-
does Israel's policy is neither
a dictated nor a subservient
one. The policy of Israel, small
state though it be, will continue
as in the past to be determined
by the government for Israel
and that government alone."
Mrs. Meir then came to the
general problem of the Middle
East which resulted in Secre-
tary General Hammarskjold's
lastest mission to the region
after an Arab-sponsored resolu-
tion was adopted at the special
session last August. She stressed
that the resolution "required all
states to respect the integrity
and independence of all other
states, be they Arab or non-
Arab, in the Middle East. If
