WASHINGTON—The Arabs were disseminating stories this - week that American trumpeter Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong was actually an Israeli spy. He has been banned from Arab League states. Is there any basis to Arab charges that the : ;Negro jazi idol is "the leader of an Israeli espionage network?" Perhaps the charges against trumpeter Armstrong should not be dismissed too lightly. After all, the Old Testament urged: "Blow the horn in Zion." And a Talmudic commentary revealed that "every note has importance, as every item . . . is a mystery." The Talmud made known that "as we blow, first we stand, then we sit, to confuse Satan." What strategic data could Armstrong have conveyed when he blew his horn in Arab lands? The secret code was _obvious when he played "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho." He was clearly trying to breach the walls of "The Sheikh of Araby." But Armstrong was more subtle in his highly-classified intelli- gence reports. For instance, he sent weather reports to the Israel Air Force by playing "Isn't This: A Lovely Day" or "A Foggy Day." His rendition of "Go Back Where You Stayed Last Night" was an • : order to frontier. patrols. Instructions were given Israeli pdraChutists in "One O'Clock Jump." The movements of . the United NatiOns Emergency Force were foretold by "When the Saints Go Marching In." Of course, "When It's Sleepy Time Down South" referred to conditions in the Negev; "Down South Camp Meeting!' to mobilization in the Negev. , Armstrong cleverly reported on French-Israel relations and the recent cessation of Renault auto assembly operations in Haifa. :First he played "C'est Si Bon," then. "Honey, Don't You Love Me Any More?" Remember the ship, the "Inge Toft," still detained in the Suez Canal because she carried Israeli cargo? Armstrong gave explicit instructions. First he rendered "When My Dreamboat Comes Home." He followed up with "There'll Be Some Changes Made." When Israel Foreign Minister Golda Meir ,returned to Jeru- salem, Armstrong revealed- her -presence by offering "Big Mama's Back in Town." Armstrong's intrigues were so extensive. that .he. .openly promoted immigration - and aliyah: "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home?" and "I'll Keep the Lovelight Burning." He even had a note for anti-Zionist elements: "Someday You'll:Be :Sorry," and for non-Zionists, "Can't We Be Friends?" The entire Diaspora heard Israel's messages: "Because - of You" and "I'll Always Be In Love With You." The nerve of Armstrong was such that he even promoted tourist travel to Israel. He played "Run, Come See Jeruialem" and "There's A Small Hotel." He reassured Jews trapped in Arab states with "The Nearness of You." Armstrong reported on Israeli internal politics. For instance, the present attitude of the General Zionists was conveyed in "Melancholy Blues." The nationalist Herut party was characterized by "Don't Fence Me In." Premier Ben-Gurion's stand: "It Still Suits Me." - Reports were issued on Israeli economic Conditions, like "All That Meat And No Potatoes." Armstrong described Israeli relations with Ceylon by tooting "Tea For Two." He went so far as to report the response of Israeli immigrants from Iron Curtain countries to Communist claims that Jews are returning from Israel. He blasted out with "That's When - I'll - Come Back to You," a tune indicating very little likelihood of such a return. The Soviet attitude was described by "Cold, Cold Heart." Israel's stand on shipping rights in the Gulf of Aqaba was clearly stated in "They Can't Take That Away From Me:" Diplomatic Policy was revealed: "Keepin' Out Of Mischief Now" and "Ain't Misbehavin'." Jordan River irrigation schemes were reported, of course, by "01' Man River" and "I Get Ideas." Direct JTA Teletype_ Wire_to The Jewish News UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA)—The status and functions of the United Nations Emergency Force in the ' Gaza Strip and at Sharm-el-Sheikh, remain unchanged by a vote of the UN General - Assembly which ignored a reported demand by King Saud of Saudi Arabia :for the_ withdrawal of the UNEF units from Sharm7el-Sheikh. ' King Saud's demand could have been voiced formally, before a plenary s e ssion of the General Assembly . when Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold's annual report on the operation and maintenance of the Foice came before the ,:bcidy.• Instead, only incidental mention of the issue was made by the Soviet xepresentatiVe, Arkady A. SoboteV. After a hot exchange between Sobolev and ,4Henry Cabot Lodge, chairman of the United States delegation, Hammarskjold's report was adopted with only a single negative vote and six abstentions. The Sobolev-Lodge tiff revolved only around the issue of financing UNEF, the USSR insisting, as it has since the Force was created in 1956, that only the nations" responsiblefor the Sinai-Suez "aggressions" should pay for maintaining Continued on Page 3 . .
