Corporation "have accommo-
dated to the Arab boycott" in
contracts for .ry cargo vessels
owned by American citizens
that carry surplus commodities
sold to Arab countries under
the Agricultural Trade Act of
1954. The contracts, • according
to the AJC ; `state explicitly
that the vessels- are prohibited
from calling at Israel waters or

prohibited." •
The Arab boycott, accord-
ing to the AJC, is "partially
prosecuted in this country"
with the resiet that "Ameri-
can principles are flouted - by
representatives of foreign-
governments o n American

fact that Kuwait requires
"that the absence of Jews in
American companies be certi-
fied by an agency of the U.S.
Government."

his bills would "write into the

State Department should take
upon itself responsibility for
"restoring Nasser's prestige"
following Israel's "rocket tri-
umph for peaceful purposes,
typical of Jewish devotion to
science and learning."
The State Department, in a
letter by Assistant Secretary of
State Brooks Hays to Senator
Jacob K. Javits of New York,
had sought to justify the pro-
vision of American rockets to
the UAR and specifically noted
that Israel had experimented
"most recently" with a similar
rocket.
