that is high on the priority list
of unsolved problems," Mr.
Nixon said. "We recognize its
existence and we must find an
effective way to solve it. It is
not a political problem. The
question is how to bring it to
a solution. We don't want to
engage in acts that might have
an opposite effect. We are
working through the State De-
partment, the United Nations
and other vital agencies in
seeking a solution. I do not
have a panacea. I will discuss
the question during the cam-
paign."
Prefacing his reply, the Vice
President said he already had
made his position clear on the
need to solve the Suez problem.
He was referring to the letter
he addressed recently to Label
Katz, president of Bnai Brith,
in which he stated his position
in the Arab-Israel problems.
The Vice President held his
press conference immediately
after delivering his address to
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
convention session in Cobo Hall
Wednesday morning.
President Backs
UN's Actions on
Refugees, UNEF
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
WASHINGTON. — President
Eisenhower, in an annual report
to Congress Tuesday, on U.S.
operations in the United Na-
tions, supported UN handling
of the Arab refugee problem
and endorsed the United Na-
tions Emergency Force as a
contribution to stability.
Stating that "the future of
approximately one million Arab
refugees from Palestine" caused
concern, Eisenhower said the
UN General Assembly "took
several constructive steps in an
effort to better the present
situation and to find a solution
to this pressing problem." He
said that the General Assembly
requested the Palestine Con-
ciliation Commission "to make
further efforts to secure the
implementation of the Assem -
bly's decision iii 1948, that the
refugees wishing to return to
their homes and to live at peace
with their neighbors should be
permitted to do so, and that
compensation should be paid
for property left behind by
those not choosing to return."
The Eisenhower report noted
that the Assembly unanimously
extended the United Nations Re-
lief Works Administration's
mandate for three years, with
a provision for review at the
end of two years. He made
reference to the fact that the
Assembly urged acceleration of
programs to make more of the
refugees self - supporting. He
noted also that the Assembly
"asked that irregularities in the
distribution of relief rations be
stopped."
Eisenhower said the United
States had stressed at the
United Nations that a funda-
mental solution of the Arab
refugee problem "must be
sought by all available means."
He said the Assembly "made
a further significant contribu-
tion to stability in the Middle
East by voting continued sup-
port for the United Nations
Emergency Force." He termed
the UNEF patrolling of the
Israel-Egyptian frontier a "re-
markable demonstration of what
international cooperation can do
to help keep the peace."
Eisenhower said the United
States would continue to sup-
port UNEF "because we firmly
believe it constitutes a major
bulwark of peace in the Middle
East."
Herbert Klein, his press sec-
retary, arranged the press con-
ference.
Detroit delegates to the VFW
convention, from Wayne County

Perry B. Burnstine, Robert S.

Kennedy Pledges to Seek
Direct Arab, Israel Talks
NEW YORK, ( J T A ) — The
importance of bringing about an
Arab-Israel conference for the
purpose of achieving peace, as
well as of taking immediate
steps to eliminate A r a b dis-
crimination against American
Jews, was emphasized by Sena-
tor John F. Kennedy, Demo-
cratic Presidential nominee, in
a letter addressed to Dr. Israel
Goldstein, Zionist leader who
is also honorary vice president
of the Liberal Party. He pledged
to work in this direction.
"The central, overriding prob-,
lem in the Middle East is the
problem of achieving peace in
the area," he wrote. "The per-
sistence of the Arab states in
maintaining a 'state of war'
against Israel is clearly the cause
of their discriminations.
"The starting point, therefore,
for an effective, realistic Ameri-
can policy designed to preserve
peace and extend the free way
