Soviet Press Launches
New Anti-Semitic,
Anti-Israel Drives
PARIS, (JTA)—A new and
stepped-up campaign of anti-
Semitism and anti-Israeli pro-
paganda has been launched in
the Soviet Union, according to
articles culled here from the
controlled Communist press.
The articles have appeared
in Pravada Ukrainy, organ of
the Communist Party of the
Ukraine; in Sovietskaya Eco-
nomicheskaya Gazette, and in
the leading Soviet newspapers.
in Moldavia, Latvia and White
Russia.
Russian Jews are being at-
tacked—by name and address—
as being "parasitical and non-
Socialist elements in the Soviet
community." Letters are being
printed from "readers," accus-
ing Israel of using its security
services of "espionage" and of
"carrying out widespread re-
prisals against various peoples."
The letters claim that the
economic conditions are such
that "the poor become poorer,
while the rich get richer." Some
of the purported letter writer
ask the editors to delete their
names for fear their identity
"would endanger our families
in Israel."

Arab League Threatens Israel
with Force on. Jordan. Waters Issue
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Arab League's Supreme Defense
Council, which has just con-
cluded a series of meetings at
Cairo, has decided to "use force
to prevent Israel's, exploitation
of the Jordan River for irriga-
tion of the Negev Desert," ac-
cording to the Arab' press, re-
ceived here.
The Supreme Defense Coun-
cil decided to confer again in
two months to pick a "supreme
commander" for an Ara_b joint
commander.
Information reaching here
from the Arab states indicates
also that the Arab heads of
state plan on giving U.S. Presi,
dent John F. Kennedy evasive
answers in response to his
recent letters to the Arab
rulers.
On the other hand, it is
planned by the Arab rulers to
pinpoint the Jordan River issue,
accusing. Israel of an "act of
aggression" in connection with
its Jordan River water project.
Some of the. Arab newspapers
have proposed that President
Kennedy be subjected to "a
test in regard to his good will,
to find out whether he respects
Arab rights and Arab League
resolutions."
(Dispatches received in Lon-
don reported that the Arab
League Economic Council,
which has just opened at
Damascus, has on its agenda an
item dealing with "the neces-
sity of the creation of Arab
economic unity prior to estab-
lishment of political unity.)
(The Times of London re-
ported that Tass, the Soviet
government news agency, has
reported an article in Pravda,
organ of the Communist Party
of the USSR emphasizing that
the Soviet Union "values its
friendship with the United
Arab Republic • and wants to
develop that friendship and
strengthen it further.")
Meanwhile in London, a Con-
servative member of Parlia-
ment, William Yates, accused
Israel, on the- floor of the House
of Commons, of perpetrating
"a threat" to violate the Israel-
Arab armistice agreement by
allegedly planning to divert
the waters of the Jordan River
for its own use.
Yates voiced his accusation
in the form of a question to
the Lord PriVy Seal, Edward
Heath, asking what the govern-
ment intended to do to pre-
vent such a "violation."
While Heath replied that the
government was not aware of
such "a threat," Sir Barnett
Janner, Laborite Member, ad-
vised Yates: "The constant
bullying by Nasser and his peo-
ple is something that might be
attended to, rather than the
asking of such questions." Sir
Barnett suggested that the best

matter."
U.S. Church Editors
Urge Understanding
for Christians, Jews
JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
editors of America's three lead-
ing Protestant Evangelical mag-
azines, currently visiting. Israel,
appealed for a new . approach
toward Christian-Jewish under-'
standing.
The three editors, who issued
the appeal after conferring with
leading Israeli officials and
religious leaders, were Carl F.
H. Henry, editor of Christianity
Today, of Washington; Kenneth
Wilson, executive editor of the
Christian Herald, of New York;
and Sherwood Wirt, editor of
Decision, Billy Graham's Min-
neapolis magazine.
Referring to the emergence
of the State of Israel and the
trial here of Nail war criminal
Adolf Eichmann, the three Pro-
testant leaders declared in a
statement: "We believe that the
present moment in world his-
tory offers fresh and providen-
tial opportunity for Hebrew-
Christian understanding. A
breakthrough of various dead-
locked Orthodox Jews and Evan-
gelical Christians is now
possible for the first time in
nearly 2,000 years."
Vital aspects of such a new
approach were given by the
three visitors as: "Christian
recognition that the people of
Israel are in God's plan; a
Christian commitment to un-
conditional love for the Jewish
people everywhere; and con-
versations between Orthodox
Jewish scholars and Evangelical
Christian scholars whose com-
mon devotion to the authority
of the Old Testament is their
bond and point of beginning."
