U. S. to Give $23 Million to UNRWA
for Relief of Arab Refugees
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)-
The United States Government
pledged $23,000,000 to the
United Nations Relief and
Works Agency engaged in pro-
viding relief for Arab refugees.
The sum constitutes the Am-
erican contribution for the fis-
cal year ending June 30, 1959.
An announcement to this
effect was made by Sen.
Bourke B. Hickenlooper, mem-
ber of the American delega-
tion, at the Ad Hoc Committee
of the UN General Assembly.
As in the past, he said, the
United States would make
payments against this pledge
to an extent not exceeding '70
per cent of total contributions
to UNRWA. In line with this
policy, the United States had
already deposited for UNRWA's
use the sum of $11,500,800,
representing half of its pledge.
The United States, he went
on, was also prepared . to
pledge, in addition to the above
sums, the amount of $3,750,000
for any resettlement or repat-
riation activities of • UNRWA
initiated during the U.S. fiscal
year ending June 30, 1959.
This additional contribution
would be made to the extent
that it did not exceed 70- per
cent of the total contributions
for these specific activities.
Sen. Hickenlooper said the
U.S. Government realized "that
little significant progress has
been made in taking refugees
off the relief rolls and in set-
ting them up in conditions of
self-support."
(The New York Times, point-
ing out in an editorial that the
Arab countries are "resisting"
the integration of the Palestine
refugees, wrote: "It is agreed
that the problem of the
refugees is one of the thorniest
in the whole area of the
troubled Middle East. Israel
has urged that its solution be
made a part of a whole general
settlement in the interest of
peace. This is sound, as far
as it goes, but in the mean-
time irritating problems must
be solved. The more that can
be done in the United Nations
to put those problems into the
broadest possible context, the
better." Other New York news-
papers commented in a similar
vein.)

Chief Rabbi Herzog
Greets Pope John
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Israel
circles welcomed the election of
Pope John XXIII and described
the Pontiff as being friendly to
the state.
The Pope, then Cardinal Ron-
call, while Apostolic Delegate
in Istanbul, Turkey, during
World War II, met Dr. Itzhak
Halevi Herzog, now Chief Rabbi
of Israel, and "responded ac-
tively to an appeal to assist war-
stricken Jews," it was recalled
here.
Dr. Herzog, in a cabled mes-
sage of blessing to the Pontiff,
said, "I trust your noble and
faithful belief in the highest
human values, revealed in your
devotion during the days of the
Nazi atrocities, will guide you in
your new and important posi-
tion."
Saul Colbi, head of the Chris-
tian Communities Department
of the Israel Ministry of Reli-
gions, described talks he had
with the then Cardinal Roncalli
two years ago when the Israel
official visited Italy in connec-
tion with discussions on rela-
tions between the Vatican and
the Jewish State.

Last Pope John Pictured
as Friendly Toward Jews
ROME, (JTA) — The Milan
newspaper Corriere della Serra,
commenting on the new Pon-
tiff's selection of the name
John, stressed that the last Pope
to bear that name was a mod-
erating influence with respect
to the Inquistion and had rec-
ommended justice and tolerance
toward the Jews. It said that
the Jews had always found in
him a refuge from popular fan-
aticism.
Report Big Gains
in Israel Ties
NEW YORK, (JTA)—A knife-
wielding intruder learned to his
sorrow this week that it is in-
advisable to interrupt a minyan
even when it is made up of
elderly men.
Harry Calderon, 31, of New
York, robbed a cab driver, Eur-
mano Imperia, at 6 a.m. Imperia
chased Calderon, who ran to his
apartment for the knives. Then
Calderon chased the cab driver
until two police arrived on the
scene on the lower East Side
of Manhattan.
Calderon then turned and ran
into the nearby Yeshivah Torah
V'Yirah Synagogue, breaking
two windows of a door as he
entered. The 24 worshippers
stopped their morning prayers
long enough to seize and dis-
arm the intruder. After handing
him over to the police, the men
proceeded with their prayers.

JERUSALEM — Major gains
in Israel's diplomatic relations
with Iran, Turkey and India
were forecast Wednesday by
informed sources here.
These sources said that the
establishment of formal diplo-
matic ties between Israel and
Iran were imminent and that
restoration of full relations be-
tween Turkey and Israel also
would be announced soon.
Turkey recalled its ambassa-
dor after the start of the Sinai
operation and has since been
represented by only a charge
d'affaires.
India also is expected to
move toward diplomatic inter-
change, these sources asserted,
but only on the lower level
basis of an initial consulate.
Iran was among the first
countries to recognize Israel,
but did not go beyond a con-
sulate. This was closed down
during the Mossadegh regime
when extremist Moslems con-
trolled the policies of the Iran-
ian government.
