State Department Denies Yielding
to Saudi-Arabian Boycott Pressure
WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
Department of State took pains
to underline that it has never
condoned "nullification" of U.S.
anti-bias laws, as charged by
the American Jewish Congress.
Referring to a charge that
Assistant Secretary William
Rountree has supported indi-
rectly a Saudi-Arabian request
to ban Jews from employment
with the Arabian American Oil
Company (Aramco), State De-
partment spokesman Lincoln
White said the Department "has
protested against discriminatory
practices by foreign govern-
ments against American citi-
zens, and will continue to seek
improvement in the Arab atti-
tude in this matter, as oppor-
tunities to do so arise."
The AJ Congress earlier an-
nounced that it had requested,
in a letter to Undersecretary
Douglas Dillon, a meeting with
Secretary of State Christian
Herter, to discuss how best to
protect the rights of American
citizens against foreign reli-
gious bigotry.
It charged that Rountree had
written to the New York State
Commission Against Discrimi-
nation (SCAD) that, if Aramco
were required to comply with
the state law, this might "prej-
udice the company's operation"
and "probably adversely affect
other U.S. interests in Saudi
Arabia as well."
White said that the State De-
partment has not yet received
the communication mentioned
in the AJ Congress announce-
ment. However, he added that
he wanted to comment on the
reports by emphasizing "as
strongly as I can" that the De-
partment and Rountree have
never condoned discriminatory
practices.
White's statement did not
take issue with the basic facts
as presented in the AJC ver-
sion, claiming that Assistant
Secretary Rountree's letter to
the New York SCAD was based
upon "established policy" in
this respect.

AJC revealed documents never
before made public to show how
Saudi Arabia ordered Aramco
to boycott a list of American
business firms owned and man-
aged by Jews.
The same documents reveal
that Aramco has been forbid-
den by the King of Saudi Ara-
bia from employing Jews in the
U.S., as well as in Saudi
Arabia.
These documents formed the
basis of the communique, which
was issued by Dr. Joachim
Prinz, national AJ Congress
president, referring to Roun-
tree's alleged permissive ac-
tion in the Aramco dealings.

J. I. Fishbein
NEW YORK (JTA)—A plea
for "partnership" between the
American Jewish press and the
national Jewish organizations
"so as to reach the American
Jewish Community through the
best channel of communication
we have for educating our peo-
ple on the problems confront-
ing us," was voiced at the an-
nual convention of the Ameri-
can Jewish Press Association,
held at the Park Sheraton Hotel
here.
The plea was made by Philip
Klutznick, president of Bnai
Brith and head of the "Presi-
dents' Club" in an address at a
luncheon given by the Associa-
tion for leaders of national Jew-
ish organizations. The editors
and publishers attending the
convention voted unanimously
to effectuate this proposal at
the earliest moment.
The convention also was ad-
dressed by Boris Smolar, editor-
in-chief, and Victor Bienstock,
general manager of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency.
Participants in the convention
panels included Philip Slomo-
vitz, Detroit; Jack Back, Nash-
ville; Dr. Joachim Prinz, presi-
dent of the American Jewish
Congress; Jack Fishbein, Chica-
go, and other members of the
association and leaders of na-
tional organizations.
Additional discussion dealing
with advertising, circulation and
editorial improvements were
aimed at making it financially
possible for the nation's weekly
Jewish newspapers to better
serve the growing American
Jewish community. The group.
also voted to change its name
from the American Association
of English-Jewish Newspapers
to the American Jewish Press
Association.
J. I. Fishbein of the Chicago
Sentinel was named president
for a second term. Other offi-
cers elected . include Joseph
Weisberg of Boston, Albert W.
Golomb of Pittsburgh, and Leo
Frisch of Minneapolis, as vice
presidents; Adolf Rosenberg of
Atlanta, treasurer; and James
Wisch of Dallas, as secretary.

Hebrew U. Students
End Strike Over
Hike in Tuition Fees
Direct JTA Teletype Wire
To The Jewish News
VIENNA (JTA) — Applica-
tions of the discoveries of nu-
clear science to peaceful pur-
poses will be discussed by Jew-
ish scientists next August at
Stockholm, when the World
Jewish Congress holds its
world-wide plenum in the Swe-
dish capital.
An announcement to this ef-
fect was made by Dr. Nahum
Goldmann, president of the WJ
Congress.
Dr. Goldmann told the Euro-
pean executive committee of
WJC, holding a two-day ses-
sion here, that the conference
in Stockholm must also regard
as a key problem the co-exist-
ence of minorities under differ-
ent political regimes.
The WJC has invited Protes-
tant, Catholic and Moslem cler-
gymen from Eastern and West-
ern countries to discuss this
issue of "pluralism."
Dr. Goldmann revealed that,
in addition to Hungarian Jewry,
which is officially affiliated with
the WJC, the Congress also has
invited Jewish representation
from the Soviet bloc countries
Poland, Romania, Czechoslo-
vakia and Bulgaria. Those coun-
tries have been asked to send
either delegates or observers,
said Dr. Goldmann.
Dr. William Krell, executive
director of the Federation of
Jewish Communities in Austria,
reported to the executive com-
mittee about the treatment of
war criminals and the resur-
JERUSALEM—Classes re-
turned to normal Wednesday
at the Hebrew University after
students ended a five-day strike
against higher tuition fees.
University officials met the
walkout by suspending all cam-
pus activities.
The strikers wavered after
the suspension Tuesday and
sought a compromise in line
with a proposal by Premier
Ben-Gurion for a two-week no-
strike period during which he
would review the student .de-
mands.
The striking students had
rejected the Prime Minister's
proposal and quit classes Fri-
day. They decided - to accept it
Wednesday when it was offered
again.
Many of the students ex-
pressed anger at the univer-
sity's decision to close and to
stay closed if the students re-
mained out. The university
suspension, had it continued,
would have meant the loss of
a full year's study credits be-
cause the end of the academic
year is only a few weeks away.

for Walter Lowdermilk
TEL AVIV—The engineering
department of the Haifa In-
stitute of Technology (Tech-
nion) was formally named
Wednesday after Prof. Walter
C. Lowdermilk, American soil
engineer and father of the Jor-
dan Valley Authority project.
The ceremony held at the
Technion campus on Mount
Carmel, was attended by Gen.
Yaacov Dori, Technion presi-
dent, and representatives of the
Hebrew University and the
Ministry of Agriculture.
Prof. Lowdermilk was lauded
as a man of prophetic vision,
a pioneer of science and one of
Israel's greatest friends;

gence of anti:Semitism and neo-
Nazism in Austria.
Property left by exterminated
Jews without theirs is still being
held by former Nazis, Dr. Krell
declared. He complained that
the Jewish community in Aus-
tria has not yet been compen-
sated for the destruction by the
Nazis of 17 synagogues and 50
other houses of worship.
Catholic institutions, he said,
have been covered by Austrian
legislation, receiving "substan-
tial subsidies."
