JERUSALEM. — The Zionist
Actions Committee on Monday
night called on all countries
which "aspire to world peace,
stability and progress," to en-
sure the use of the Suez Canal
as "a free international high-
way."
The resolution, approved at
the close o_f the ten-day session,
reiterated an appeal to world
public opinion to oppose "Arab
endeavors to strangle Israel eco-
nomically" and expressed "deep
concern" over the interference
by the United Arab Republic
with Israel shipping and trans-
port in the canal" in open dis-
regard of international law and
in defiance of United Nations
resolutions."
"This belligerent Egyptian
policy endangers world peace
and violates the foundations of
world trade," the resolution
added.
In another resolution, the
world Zionist movement said it
was its duty to demand the
right of Jews everywhere freely
to make contact with Jewish
groups in other parts of the
world, to strengthen cultural
relations, fortify Jewish culture
and assure the right to emigrate
to Israel.
The world Zionist movement
"will note with satisfaction ev-
ery step by the Soviet Union
toward granting Jewish rights,"
the delegates said in another
resolution. "At the same time,
the Zionist movement cannot ig-
nore the continuing non-recog-
nition of these rights in the So-
viet Union and must draw world
attention to this situation," the
resolution said. It was hoped
that the , Soviet government
would consider "these elemen-
tary demands" and recognize
them as "the only practical and
realistic basis for the status of
the future of Soviet Jewry."

Emphasizing that immigra-
tion to Israel and its absorp-
tion are the central tasks of
the Zionist movement, the
Actions Committee approved
plans to intensify efforts for
immigration from all coun-
tries.

To integrate immigrants in
development areas in Israel,
another resolution called for
full employment opportunities
by the setting up of industrial
and handicraft enterprises, and
instructed the Jewish Agency
absorption department to con-
tinue to direct immigrants into
farm areas.
The executive was instructed
to negotiate with the govern-
ment concerning restoration of
premiums for foreign currency
brought in by immigrants at the
same rate of exchange granted
tourists and Israelis who liqui-
date overseas property, and
urged encouragement of middle
class immigration and welcom-
ed the activity of the economic
department in this area.

Dr. Salk Receives
Honorary Degree

ization "was not equal to the
task" when it came to playing
a decisive role in Jewish wel-
fare funds; in the United
Jewish Appeal and in the sale
of Israel bonds.

Zionists in the United States,
declared Dr. Goldmann. were
not the deciding factor in Jew-
ish life, even if individuals in
major centers like Cleveland,
Philadelphia, New York or
Washington were prominent.
Those who are prominent, he
stated, play their outstanding
roles as communal leaders in
various fields, and not as
Zionists.
Dr. Goldmann said Zionism
must regain the position of be-
ing a prime factor in Jewish
life. The Jewish situation, he
emphasized, calls for a "great
movement" to bind the Jewish
people with Israel. He warned
that the Zionist movement was
destined to play a minor role if
the staus quo continued, and he
urged the facilitation of group
memberships in the movement
from among the major Jewish
organizations. Maintenance of
the status quo, he asserted, will
mean the decline and failure of
the Zionist movement inside
and outside Israel.

Dr. Goldmann's propos al
making possible the affiliation
of Jewish bodies with the
world Zionist Organization
was adopted here Tuesday
vote at the closing session of
the meeting of the Zionist
Actions committee. Mizrachi
and Hapoel Hamizrachi ab-
stained.
Dr. Goldmann, as president of

the World Zionist Organization
and the Executive of the Jew-
ish Agency, was empowered to
conduct negotiations with other
Jewish bodies prepared to ac-
cept the Zionist program and to
bring recommendations on such
affiliation to the next World
Zionist Congress or the next
meeting of the Actions Com-
mittee. The recommendations
are to include arrangements for
the new affiliates to participate
in the Congress and the Actions
Committee.

French Fight Fascists;
Commemorate Victims
of Bergen-Belsen

PARIS (JTA)---Jewish organ-
izations that have complained to
police against repeated acts of
vandalism at the Tomb of the
Jewish Martyr, in this city, were
assured by the prefect of police
that he has assigned police per-
sonnel to provide special pro-
tection for the shrine. Work-
men were on the job, removing
large ink stains which vandals
smeared over the tomb last
week.
Jeune Nation, a "right radi-
cal" group, is believed to' have
been responsible for the dese-
cration of the shrine as well as
for the recent smashing of win-
dows in a Paris synagogue and
other anti-Semitic acts.
The police confiscated a spe-
cial issue of the anti-democratic
and anti-Semitic m a g a z i n e,
"Jeune Nation." The official rea-
son for the seizure was that the
issue contained material injuri-
ous to the Chief of State. The
issue had lauded a large number
of notorious anti-Semites as the
"intellectual forerunners" of the
Jeune Nation movement.

President Charles de Gaulle
himself is "extremely" inter-
ested in the proposed exhuma-
tion of French victims of
Nazism from the cemetery at
the former Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp, and will
take up the matter with West
German authorities "on the
highest level," Raymond Tri-
boulet, Minister of Veterans
Affairs, said at an impressive
ceremony here consecrating
an exhibit' at the Tomb to
the Unknown Jewish Martyr,
commemorating the Bergen-
Belsen victims.

Exhumation of the remains in
French war graves at Bergen-
Belsen was begun several
months ago, but was halted after
a number of Jewish groups pro-
tested against the plan to bring
the remains back to this country
for re-burial.
At the commemoration cere-
monies, an objection to the plan
was voiced again, by H. A. van
Dam, secretary general of the
Central Committee of Jews in
Germany, who said his commit-
tee would certainly continue to
oppose the plan, because identi-
fication of any individual bodies
in the mass graves at Bergen-
Belsen is impossible.
Prof. Rene Cassin, head of
the French Council of State,
and former chairman of the
United Nations Human Rights
Commission, greeted many not-
ables attending the dedication.
