Lands Direct JTA Teletype Wires to The Jewish News World Disarmement 'Under Foolproof Controls . to Be Israel's Position at UN (Direct JTA Teletype Wire to The Jewish News) JERUSALEM. — Israeli speakers at the United Nations General Assembly will reiterate Israel's suggestion that the first stage of world disarmament—under foolproof controls— should be implemented in Israel and the neighboring countries, informed sources disclosed here Tuesday. Israel, however, • will not submit a special clause for the Assembly agenda for this idea, but will rather include the proposal in the general debate and in the debate on disarma ment. Israeli speakers also will reiterate Israel's willingness to negotiate with the Arabs, but it was believed unlikely that Israel would renew its proposal to negotiate on specific prob- lems in Israel-Arab relations, such as the Arab refugee ques- tion, separately, before general Israel-Arab peace talks. The present Israel position was reported to be that, if the Arabs are ready to sit down to a peace parley. Israel is willing to negotiate all outstanding problems. The Israel deleiation, led by Foreign Minister Golda Meir, will leave for New York on Sept. 19. President Nasser of the United Arab Republic will attend the UN Assembly as the head of the UAR delegation. The possibility of Premier David Een-Gurion's participation in the Assembly was not discussed, nor was the Premier authorized to decide himself on this question, a government spokesman stated. Official circles reeateily dismissed the idea of the Premier's going to the UN Assembly before it became known that Nasser will head his delegation at the Assembly. The Israeli delegation to the Assembly will include Arieh Levavi, assistant director-general of the Foreign Ministry; Simcha Pratt, director of the Foreign Ministry's International Organization Division; Shabtai Rosenne, the Foreign Ministry's legal adviser; Ambassador Eliahu Sasson, envoy to Italy; Michael S. Comay, permanent representative at the United Nations; Ambassador Arieh Eshel, deputy permanent repre- sentative; Binyamin Eliav, Minister Plenipotentiary and Consul General in New York; Arieh• Eilan and Miss Hava members of the permanent mission to the UN, and Nathan Yaacov, labor attache at the Washington Embassy. Israel's general policy at the Assembly will be to adopt an attitude close to that of the delegations from African coun- tries. On the Algerian question, Israel is expected to avoid participation in the debate at the Assembly, but to vote on the side of France. • On other "colonial" issues, Israel would take a more pro-African stand than in the last Assembly. NEW YORK.—The Hadassah Medical Organization is helping African nations meet their pressing medical and health needs "in a strenuous effort to save human life which is being wasted needlessly for want of trained medical personnel and adequate health facilities", Dr. Kalman J. Mann, director general of HMO, Tues- day told the 46th national convention of Hadassah. He said that Africa needs at least 60,000 physicians "immediately" to meet the "urgent" health problems confronting the continent's population estimated at from 200.000,000 to -250,000,000 persons. • Dr. Mann said that the number of native-born African doctors ranges from "none in the Congo, which has a population of 15,000,000 to 314 in Ghana—the most medically advanced country—which has a population of 6,500,000." Dr. Mann, who came to the United States especially to report on Hadassah's medical work to the convention, addressed more than 2,500 delegates and guests representing Hadassah's more than 318,000 members. He said that Hadassah is now seeking "international funds" for a stepped-up Program and to educate Africans as physicians, nurses and pharmacists. Dr. Z. Ginvlis, also a member of the committee of specialists of the World Health Or- ganization, declared: "A comprehensive program of under-graduate and of post-graduate training for medical students and physicians, nurses, dentists and pharmacists, should be launched immediately ,under the auspices of the World Health Organization with the cooperation of international funds and the world's leading medical institutions. "Within this scheme, the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School would be ready to do its utmost. The medical school has already begun the nucleus of training undergraduate African students in medicine and nursing." He said that, at the requests of the governments of Ethiopia and Liberia", Hadassah has already surveyed the medical and health needs of these countries. As a result, he added: 1. A limited number of Ethiopian medical students are now being trained at the Hebrew University - Hadassah Me dical School in Jerusalem. 2. Liberian nursing students are now being trained at Hadassah's Henrietta Szold School of Nursing in Jerusalem. 3. A special hospital has been set un in Liberia to combat eye diseases. A Hadassah opthalmologist is now in Liberia to supervise the work of this hospital. Dr. Mann said that the Hadassah M edical Organization is also cooperating with the Israel medical mission in the Congo. Earlier, in behalf of Hadassah, Mrs. Nathan. D. Perlman, national chairman of the Hadassah Medical Organization in the United States, presented Dr. Mann with a "surgical stapler" developed in the Soviet Union. The mechanical instrument designed for joining the ends of blood vessels and nerves will be taken to Israel by Dr. Mann for use by surgeons of the Ha- dassah Medical Organization. At the session devoted to a review of Hadassah's medical work in Israel, (Continued on Page 3) Zuckerman Named Chairman of '61 Allied Jewish Campaign Rabbi Levy Reports All Jews of Congo Safe and 'Resuming Business Activities JOHANNESBURG, (JTA) — Forty Jewish men are now in Leopoldville, capital of the strife-wracked Republic of the Congo, having reopened their businesses there, Rabbi Moshe Levy, of the Congo, reported here on a stopover during his return to Elizabethville, in Katanga. Rabbi Levy said there were no Jewish women or children in Leopoldville. He emphasized that all Congo Jews have been traced, and none is missing. He reaffirmed statements made in an interview in Brussels to the effect that many refugees had returned to Elizabethville and that local authorities and the population of the secessionist province of Katanga were treating Jews there well. The rabbi sought to correct here what he termed inaccurate press reports of his state- ments in Brussels. He said that the statement that he took his children to Israel and was sending them to school in Brussels was incorrect, adding that his family had been in Salis- bury since the native rebellion against European whites first broke out in the Congo. • • "I went alone to Israel, together with a group of Congo refugees, to explore the .pos- sibilities for settlement in Israel of Congo Jewish - refugees," the Congo rabbi said. "I had discussed various plans with Israel officials and with ,the Jewish Agency, and then went to Brussels to contact Congolese refugees there and 0*c-quaint them with Israel possibilities." He reported that several of the refugees decided -*kik° to Israel. "I was also wrongly reported as saying that I Jewish. refixgees -irom-Katanga to use the facilities for resettlement offered by South Africa," Rabbi 'Le"i'y tti1'iSelf1074Mil,AVArtg47 L have been exclusively directed toward resettlement of refugdes in Israel. I appreciate ttbe South African government's offer of help to all refugees from the Congo without discrimi- nation of race or creed, but I personally have not been in touch with South African authori- ties; and the statement about this attributed to me in the Brussels report was not made by me." (From Bulawayo, _Rhodesia, it was reported that another group of Jewish refugees from the Congo left for Israel. This is the third group of refugees that proceeded from Rhodesia to Israel for permanent settlement there. Altogether, about 60 Congo Jews emi- grated to Israel from Rhodesia since the turbulent develoinnents started in the Congo.) Israel Won't Recognize Independent Katanga JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Israel will not recognize an independent Katanga, the Congo- lese province which opposes Premier Patrice Lumumba, Ehud Avriel, Israel Ambassador to the strife-wracked Congo, said in a public address here. He said Israel would recognize only the legal government of: the entire Congo Republic whoever its head turns out to be.
