THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS -- Friday, July 17, 1959 —
se Senate Move to Deny Financial Aid
to Saudi Arabia Beaten, 47-43
WASHINGTON (JTA)—The
Senate has rejected an amend-
ment to the Foreign Aid Bill
that would have indicated a de-
sire by the Senate to deny aid
to nations like Saudi Arabia
which discriminate against
Americans on a basis of re-
ligion.
The amendment was intro-
duced by Sen. Wayne Morse,
Oregon Democrat, who said "we
desecrate the U.S. flag" by fly-
ing it over the Dharan airbase
in Saudi Arabia. He said "these
discriminators go so far as to go
through our army personnel
lists and make an investigation
as to whether or not a boy sent
over there is a Jew."
The Senator held that "we
should not stand by and coun-
tenance that kind of discrimina-
tion against American citizens
by pouring American dollars
into the country which does it."
The amendment was defeated
by a vote of 47 to 43. Senators
opposed argued that the United
States itself practiced discrim-
ination in its immigration legis-
lation and that the proposed
amendment would constitute
undue American interference
into the domestic affairs of oth-
er countries.
One objection was a view that
the Foreign Aid Bill should not
be used "as a vehicle to convert
the President of the United
States into a policeman for the
morals of all the nations which
might be candidates for aid un-
der the Mutual Assistance Act."
Sen. Morse and Sen. Paul
Douglas, Illinois Democrat. crit-
icized the Administration for
honoring the King of Saudi
Arabia at a time when Saudi
Arabia w a s discriminating
against Americans of Jewish
faith. Sen. Morse recalled the
1956 Lehman Resolution adopt-
ed by the Senate expressing the
sense of the Senate against dis-
crimmination as practiced by
Saudi Arabia.
"The sad fact is that the prin-
ciple of non-discrimination con-
tained in the Lehman Resolu-
tion is not being maintained,"
Sen. Morse said. He felt the
time had come "to make clear
that we are not going to give
aid or assistance to nations
which discriminate against any
of our citizens because of their
race or religion."
Among the Senators of both
parties who voted against the
Morse Amendment were virtu-
ally all the Senators represent-
ing Southern states.

PARIS (JTA) — Dr. John
Slawson. executive vice-presi-
dent of the American Jewish
Committee. stilted here that it
is - urgent and important that
German youth be warned" about

ment during a stopover en route
to West Germany, where he will

views on means of combatting
