$3,000,000FederationLoan
Re-Negotiated to Assist UJA
The Jewish Welfare Federation has rehogotiated a $3,000,-
000 loan in response to an urgent appeal for funds by the
United Jewish Appeal for the rescue and relief of Jews over-
seas and their resettlement in Israel and other free countries.
Max M. Fisher, Federation president, reports that a check
for $1,200,000 has already been rushed to the UJA. Terms of
the. $3,000,000 obligation call for payments of $1,000,000 a
year for the next three years, on the consolidated balances of
$1,800,000 on the continuing portion of the loan and the
$1,200,000 which has just been added.
The Federation borrowed $3,000,000, the largest sum in its
history, in May, 1958, and had repaid $1,200,000 of the debt.
Because of the UJA's desperate need for cash, Fisher, as
Federation president, and Max J. Zivian, president of the
United Jewish Charities, the Federation's property holding unit,
negotiated the refunding. The money was borrowed from a
Detroit bank. The original maturity date of May, 1963, remains
in effect for the entire indebtedness.
Fisher called the granting of the loan "a compliment to
the entire Jewish community. The success of the 1960 Allied
Jewish Campaign has convinced the officers of the bank and
the officers and directors of the Federation and the Charities
that Detroit's Jewish community is ready and able to accept
responsibility for Jewish needs overseas as well as in our city
and country," Fisher said. He said it was with the backing of
the 3,000 campaign workers and 26,000 contributors who
raised nearly $5,000,000 in this year's campaign that the loan
was negotiated.
The money will be repaid with funds raised in the Federa :
tion's annual Allied Jewish Campaign.
Zivian expressed the hope that Allied Jewish Campaign
contributors will set new records in paying campaign pledges.
• The UJA receives approximately 60 percent of funds
raised in the Allied Jewish Campaign. The other 40 percent
is divided an-long 13 member agencies in Detroit and a total
of 44 Jewish causes in Detroit, nationally and worldwide.
LONDON—The Arab League Council, meeting on an Ambassadorial level in
Cairo, adjourned its session Monday night without reaching any agreement on the
proposal by the United Arab Republic that all Arab nations sever diplomatic rela-
tions with Iran because of the Shah's reiteration of his de facto recognition of Israel.
The entire issue was left open for decision by the Arab League Council meeting
scheduled to take place in Beirut, Lebanon, Aug. 22.
The Arab League found itself split on how far to go in retaliating against Iran
for the Shah's reiteration of his recognition of Israel.
The League meeting was called by President Nasser of the United Arab Re-
public, but Tunisia did not send her representative. Tunisia has been boycotting the
Arab League because of her rift with the Cairo regime.
New Cyprus State Expected to Set Up Consulate in Israel
JERUSALEM—Sources close to the Republic of Cyprus, which is slated to be-
come independent from British rule this month, stated here Tuesday that the new
government will not discriminate against any country in the Middle East, in re-
gard to diplomatic relations. Members of the Arab League have been urging
Cyprus not to have diplomatic relations with Israel.
According to Cypriot sources here, the new government will open a consulate
in Israel and others in Arab countries. Cyprus, it was stated, will have only four
missions of Embassy status—in Washington, London, Ankara and Athens.
Press in India Sides with Iran's Stand on Israel; Lauds Shah
NEW *DELHI, (JTA)—The • attitude of the Shah of Iran in reiterating his de
facto recognition of Israel is lauded in the press here as an indication that Iran
does not permit its foreign policy to be dominated by religious considerations.
Some of the newspapers here emphasize that in terms of quality, Israelis are
more than a match for the combined strength of all Arab countries. "It is impossible
to believe that even with their idealism which has become fanaticism, the Arab
states could jointly or severally destroy Israel militarily or economically, the influ-
ential Inidan weekly "Thought" stressed.
The Pakistan daily, "Dawn", reported that the Union of Arab Chambers of
Commerce sent a note to all Arab countries urging strong commercial relations
with the soon-to-be-independent countr37. of Cyprus.
The note indicated that last year Israel exported to Cyprus one million pounds
sterling ($2,800,000) worth of goods and 2,820 Israelis visited the island. The note
said that Israel was also attempting to open a Cypriot-Israel Chamber of Com-
merce. It urged the various Arab states to frustrate these attempts by showing an
interest in an exchange of diplomatic representatives with Cyprus.
`Complete File' on Eichmann Found in Congressional
Library; Material Available for Trial in Israel
WASHINGTON, (JTA) -- West German war
crimes investigators have found the "complete file"
of Nazi S.S. Col. Adolf Eichmann's Jewish liquida-
tion quarters and have uncovered documents spell-
ing out the war crimes guilt of many other Nazis
who may now be brought to trial.
The Eichmann files and a mass of evidence
incriminating other Nazis were located here in vari-
ous warehouses and in the archives of the Library
of Congress by a West German investigating team.
The Eichmann files were found in a huge and
poorly catalogued mass of documents captured in
Germany by the American forces and brought here
after the war. The Germans indicated that the ma-
terial will be turned over to Israel for use in prepar-
ing for the forthcoming trial of Eichmann there on
charges of crimes against the Jewish people and
crimes against humanity.
Announcement of the discovery was made here
at a press conference at the German Embassy by
Erwin Schuele, head of the West German Central
Office for Prosecution of Nazi War Crimes, a co-
operative bureau maintained by the justice ministries
of the various West German states.
Schuele was granted permission to search here
for documents that might provide evidence against
Eichmann and other war criminals. The German
investigator, who began his research in Washington
three weeks ago, said he now has the records of
Eichmann's notorious "Section IV-B-4" of the Ges-
tapo, the German secret police. This office control-
led the liquidation of Jews throughout German-
occupied territories.
Schuele reported that he had found a mass of
"immensely valuable" documents stored in ware-
houses here and in the Library of Congress archives.
American authorities apparently, in all the years
since World War II, did not conduct a thorough re-
search of the war crimes material,
Schuele "and his aide," Kurt Hinrichsen, expect
to spend as much as ten more weeks here exploring
the mountain of material they have uncovered. Al-
ready, many documents have been found to . prove
the guilt of several other Nazi criminals who face
trial in West Germany.
The German researchers avoided criticism of
the American authorities but could not conceal their
amazement that, in the many years since the war,
the Eichmann material and other data about the
liquidation of the Jews by the Nazi regime had re-
mained buried here.
The United States "enthusiastically welcomes"
the resumption of the traditionally friendly relations
between Argentina and Israel, State Department
officials commented in connection with the joint
Argentine-Israel statement issued last week declar-
ing the incident closed.
Ben-GuriOn May Visit Argentina
LONDON, (JTA)—Israeli Premier David Ben-
Gurion may visit the Argentine "within the next few
months," the London Daily Telegraph reported from
Buenos Aires.
The paper said that this gesture of friendship
would coincide with the resumption of normal diplo-
matic relations
(The Jewish Telegraphic Agency correspondent
in Buenos Aires reports that the Argentine press
hailed the settlement of the dispute between Argen-
tina and Israel. An exception was La Prensa, one of
the leading daily newspapers in the country.)
Arrangements for Press Coverage
JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The Israel government
announced details of the arrangements made for the
trial of Adolf Eichmann, notorious Nazi leader who
directed the mass-killing of 6,000,000 Jews in Europe.
At the same time it was also announced that the
German lawyer, R. Servatius, has been found accept-
able as the lawyer for Eichmann after an investiga-
tion which established that he never belonged to the
Nazi party and had no connection with it
The trial, which is expected to start in the spring
of next year, will be conducted in Hebrew with
simultaneous German translation, and simultaneous
translation in French and English will be available
to newspaper correspondents.
Israel's Parliament passed the first of three read-
ings on a government bill to amend the Advocates
Ordinance which would permit a non-Israeli lawyer
to defend Eichmann.
The bill, which does not mention the Nazi war
criminal, was passed without discussion except for
remarks by a Communist Deputy who scathingly
attacked the proposal.
Arieh Levavi, Israel's foriner Ambassador to
Buenos Aires, Wednesday presented to the foreign
affairs committee of the Knesset an exhaustive
survey on the recent dispute between Argentina
and Israel over the capture of Adolf Eichmann,
Levavi, who was expelled by the Buenos Aires
government shortly before Israel and Argentina
reached an accord, stressed in his report the solid-
arity shown by the Argentine Jewish community
"which demonstrated its loyality to the Jewish
nation without in any way detracting from its
responsibilities as Argentine citizens".
