Israel Registers Complaint
with UN on Syrian Attacks

_ JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Israel
may ask the United Nations
Security Council for a meeting
and full-scale debate to deal
with the series of armed mili-
tary attacks from the Syrian
side of Israel's northern border,
which have been harrassing Is-
raeli farmers, workers and
frontier patrolmen for a week.
Syrian gunfire continued spo-
radically Sunday night, until
well after midnight, the fire
being directed at Israeli settle-
ments in the area of Northern
Israel adjacent to the Syrian
border.
No Israeli casualties, how-
ever, were reported.
Israelis went back to work
in that area Monday. The
project upon which they are
working is connected with the
development of a large area
for cultivation in the north-
ern Huleh region. As a first
step in that development,
-Israelis are now paving a
road as an approach to the
drained areas.
Since Israel has already filed
a complaint regarding these
aggressions with the Security
Council, it is hoped here that
the authorities at Damascus
may have decided, or found it
possible, to halt these frontier
attacks. But strict watch is
being kept on the "uneasy
tranquility" along the Syrian
border.
The events on that border
were discussed at Israel's week-
ly Cabinet meeting here. At the
same meeting, Prime Minister
David Ben-Gurion told the Min-
isters he will appear later this
week before the security and
foreign affairs committee of the
Knesset. One of the subjects he
will discuss with the committee
will be Israel's proposals, al-
ready worked out by. the For-
eign Ministry, for the policy to
be followed by the Israel Gov-
ernment at the next session of
the UN General Assembly, con-
cerning the Arab refugee prob-
lem.
Israel's reaction to propo-
sals- being discussed in for-
eign circles, regarding the
Arab refugee problem, was
seen here when Finance Min-
ister Levi Eshkol delivered
an address at a Mapai Party
election rally. Eshkol said
that the proposals which give
the refugees a 'free" choice
between repatriation to Is-
rael and compensation is "an
atomic time bomb aimed at
our existence."
It is unlikely, said Eshkol,
that "a single Arab" would not
"choose" to enter Israel, under
such a "free choice" offer: "If
an appreciable number re-
turned," he said, "and, given
the high Arab birth rate against
the low Israeli mortality rate,
including the low death rate
among Israeli Arabs, it can be
easily calculated that, within
several years, Arabs would be
a majority of Israel's popula-
tion."

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.,
(JTA) — The Security Council
has before it a grievance by
Israel, complaining that the
United Arab Republic authori-
- ties in Syria, "for reasons best
known to themselves, have de-
cided to intensify their policy
of active hostility towards Is-
rael." -
In a letter this weekend to
the president of the Security
Council, Michael S. Comay,
Israel's permanent represent-
ative here, detailed "a series
of aggressive actions on the
part of the Syrian armed
forces of the ?TAR, during the

last few days, directed against
civilians engaged in peaceful
work in Israel."
If not ended immediately,
stated Comay, on behalf of his
government, these actions are
"liable to cause a serious threat
to peace in the area." He did
not request a Council meeting,
but did ask that the letter be
circulated to all members of the
11-member Council.
After noting that Israel has
complained on 'these aggres-
sions to the United Nations
Truce Supervision Organization,
Comay added: "The Israel Gov-
ernment regards the deteriora
tion of the security situatio
along its border with Syria with
great concern. It should be re-
called that Syrian armed as-
saults in the past have resulted
in serious clashes, and loss of
life, for instance in 1951, 1955,
1958-59, and 1960."

Brith Abraham Body Urges U. S.
Take Action Against Arab Boycott

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire to
The Jewish News)

KIAMESHA LAKE, N.Y. —
Delegates to the 74th annual con-
vention of Brith Abraham called
on the United States Tuesday to
"take vigorous action against
the Arab boycott of 500 American
firms doing business with Israel."
The resolution was adopted
unanimously by the '750 delegates
representing 275 lodges of Brith
Abraham throughout the coun-
try.
Other resolutions adopted by
the convention called ,upon Con-
gress to liberalize the immigra-
tion laws, endorsed "sit-ins" by
freedom riders in the south, sup
ported President Kennedy's aid-
to-education bill pending in Con-
gress, and asked the United
States to ratify the United Na-
tions Genocide Convention.
Another resolution urged the
U.S. to "use pressure" on the
Soviet Union to permit. Jews
from areas behind the Iron Cur-
tain to emigrate "to Wherever
they Please." This resolution em-
phasized the fact that Jewish
religion and culture are being

"systematically destroyed" in the
USSR,. charging also that a
"violent - anti-Semitic campaign"
is now being conducted in the
controlled press in the Soviet
Union.
Earlier, the convention voted
to plant a woodland in Israel as
part of the Freedom Forest being
developed now at Bethar, near
Jerusalem, on soil owned by the
Jewish National Fund. The plan
was proposed by the fraternal
organization's grand master, Maur-
ice Goldstein, after the conven-
tion was addressed by Albert
Schiff, president of the Jewish
National Fund of America
In another -address, the dele-
gates heard from New York
State Attorney General Louis J.
Lefkowitz about the state's work
on a cooperative program of
public education in the field of-
human . relations. The convention
bestowed on Lefkowitz the Brith
Abraham's annual community
service award.
