UNITED NATIONS — Abba
Eban, Israel's permanent rep-
resentative to the United Na-
tions, lodged a formal complaint
Wednesday against the United
Arab Republic for "flagrant
violations" of a Security Coun-
cil resolution and various other
international commitments in
the UAR seizure of the cargoes
of two ships attempting pass-
age through the Suez Canal.
Eban's complaint, addressed
to Sir Pearson Dixon, of Great
Britain, this month's President
of the Security Council, de-
manded "immediate release of
the cargoes."
The ships are the S. S. Cape-
tan Manolis, flying the Liberi-
an 'flag and the S.S. Leglott,
flying the flag of West Ger-
many.
The Capetan Manolis was un-
derway from Haifa, carrying

400 tons of potash, five tons
of fruit juices and 1,120 tons
of cement. The Leglott carried
6,300 tons of Israel cement.
Both cargoes were ordered un-
loaded by UAR authorities at
Port Said.
These acts, Eban stated in
his letter, constitute "flagrant
violations" of an 1888 conven-
tion regarding freedom of pass-
age through the Suez Canal, the
United Nations Charter and a
Security Council resolution ad-
opted here Sept. 1, 1951, which
called on Egypt "to terminate
the restrictions on the passage
of international commercial
shipping and goods through the
Canal, wherever bound." The
1951 resolution had been adopt-
ed in response to an Israel com-
plaint at that time.
Reserving Israel's right to
take further action, and asking
that the letter be circulated to
all members of the UN, Eban
declared that "persistence in

Renewed Arab-Israel Fighting
Seen Possible; Stability Far Away

NEW YORK, (JTA) — The
possibility of new fighting be-
tween the United Arab Repub-
lic and Israel is seen by diplo-
matic circles in Washington,
according to a report published
in the Wall Street Journal.
The report, emanating from
Washington, warned against the
belief that "anything even ap-
proaching real stability" had
been achieved in the Middle
East and noted that "Arab-
Israel feuding continues as bit-
terly as ever, if not as vio-
lently."
The report added "diplomats
fear new fighting could break
out once Col. Nasser managed
to cope with internal dissen-
tion within the Syrian portion"
of his United Arab Republic.
The report said that the
United States had quietly
adopted a new policy toward
the Arab countries of the
Middle East which called for
"not only tolerating but, in

-many instances, actually encour-
aging Arab neutralism.
The State Department is
seeking a neutralism that "does
not appease Russia" in contrast
to its "old, largely unsuccess-
ful policy" which prodded the
Middle East nations "to stand
up and be counted on the
West's side in the cold war,"
the paper reported.
Diplomats have come around
to the realization, it explained,
that it is "hardly realistic" to
seek formal alliances in the
Middle East in view of the
danger of starting "the drums
of Arab nationalism."
Therefore, it added, "the
State Department has con-
sciously decided on a quieter,
softer courtship of the Middle
East, figuring to win friends
more surely in that way than
with a hearty embrace."
The new policy, the paper said,
was part of a "basic change in
U.S. diplomatic thinking, which
affects the entire so-called
under-developed portions of the
free world." It asserted that
American officials had "decid-
ed to accept neutralism as an
almost inevitable fact of life
in the Middle East, India and
Africa, and to be duly thank-
ful if the neutralists resist any
shift toward Communism."
American economic aid of-
fers to the Middle East are
being "soft-pedalled," the paper
said. "Middle East governments
— notably that of the United
Arab Republic's President Nas-
ser are told that help is avail-
able but the Arabs have to
come after it."
Private Western businessmen,
particularly from West Ger-
many and Italy who are sup-
posedly safe from charges of
colonialism, "are being encour-
aged to build economic ties
with Arab nations as a substi-
tute or supplement for govern-
ment moves."

Flare-Ups Erupt on Israel Borders;
Report Three Incursions by Syria

JERUSALEM (JTA) — Four
more shooting incidents took
place along Israel's Arab fron-
tiers during the week-end,
three near the Syrian border,
and one on Israel's side of the
Jordanian armistice line. In -all
the Arab-provoked attack s,
however, only one Israeli was
wounded.
The wounded Israeli is a
f arm e r at the settlement of
Shaar Haishuv, in Upper Gali-
lee. He was in a field with
two other men, when Syrians
opened fire from gun emplace-
ments on their side of the
border. The man received a
bullet in one leg.
At about the same time, an-
other Syrian gun position
opened fire on a second group
of Israelis from the same
settlement who were guarding
a flock of sheep.
A day earlier, in broad day-
light, an Israeli patrol spotted
a group of armed Syrian shep-
herds north of Dan, near the
Syrian border. The Syrians

Tel Aviv Begins
Celebration of
50th Anniversary

TEL AVIV (JTA) — This
largest all Jewish city in the
world started celebrating the
50th anniversary of its exist-
ence. All streets are illuminat-
ed with special electric light
displays, all public institutions
were decorated, and flags flew
from virtually every building
in this city of 400,000.
In the home of the late Mayor
Meir Dizengoff, the city's top
administrative official for many
years, the Municipal Council
met March 10 for the opening
of the jubilee celebration.
Among guests specially in-
vited were 26 of the city's orig-
inal settlers—three men with
their wives, and 20 widows.
All were among the group of
Jews who came out to the sand-
dune area beyond Jaffa, 50
years ago, to establish their
own town in the wilderness.
Parades, carnivals, and other
celebrations are scheduled dur-
ing the coming weeks. Mayor
Haim Levanon has issued a
special proclamation inviting all
residents of the city and many
tourists and foreign guests to
help celebrate the city's anni-
versary.
One of the scheduled events
that is expected to bring large
numbers of visitors here this
year, not only from Israel but
also from abroad, will be the
Levant Fair, which will open
in August.

TEL AVIV — Israel authori-
ties reported Tuesday new
Syrian violations of Israel ter-
ritory in the Upper Galilee.
They reported that twice Mon-
day Syrian shepherds crossed
into Israel territory and started
harvesting fields.
When an Israeli patrol ap-
proached, the shepherds re-

opened fire, which was re-
turned by the Israelis. One of
the Syrian bullets hit the
Israeli patrol car-, but none of
the Israelis in this fracas was
injured.
Meanwhile, along the Jor-
danian frontier, another Is-
raeli patrol spotted an in-
filtrator. When the patrol went
after this man, Jordanians
opened fire from their side
of the border. In this instance,
according to the Israel Army
spokesman, the Israelis did not
fire back.
