On July 24 a Constantine Jew was shot in the neck and killed and, two days later, another Constantine Jew, Leon Adida, was murdered the same way. Explosions and window-smashings of Jewish-owned shops were reported continuing in a manner reminiscent of Nazi \pogroms -. The attacks are part of a general increase in such terrorism in Algeria which has increased markedly in recent weeks, with at least three deaths resulting. — - JTA Correspondent at the United Nations (Copyright, 1961, Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.—When the next General Assembly con- venes, on Sept. 19, it will face an agenda which, as it stands provi- sionally. includes 77 items (and there is no -doubt that further items will be added before the opening gavel is rapped). There is also little doubt that many of the items will result in further frustrations, leading some .people to speak more and more about the "futility"'of the United Nations, about the interminable talk-talk that, too often, resolves no problems. But on the agenda, too, are other items that point up • the UN's effectiveness. One of these items deals wih the United Nations Emergency Force—UNEF. UNEF costs, in money, only about $20,000,000 a year. UNEF's 5,000- odd soldiers stand on gilard at Sharm-el-Sheikh, on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, seeing to it that Israeli shipping uses that Gulf without Arab molestation. Without UNEF's post there, Israel's flourishing harbor at Eilat would be nothing but a little - water-hole on the edge of a desert. And UNEF watches the borders along the Gaza Strip. Without UNEF, Israel would be subjected again to raids by fedayeen, those terrorist saboteurs trained by Nasser for one purpose—to spread terror inside Israel. If the United Nations did nothing, else all of next year, its maintenance of UNEF would be worth all the costs, in money, men and political tensions, centered at the United Nations headquarters. The birth of UNEF is worth recalling from time to time. * Dawn was • breaking over the East River, on Nov. 2, 1956, when Lester B. Pearson, then Canada's Minister for External Affairs, mounted the podium of the General Assembly, convened for its first emergency special session. The Assembly had convened the previous afternoon, at 5 p.m. Now, after nearly 12 hours of continuous debate, Pearson delivered a fiery speech. He had a proposal.- Pearson had had lunch, the previous day, on the 38th' floor, in the Secretary-General's office, with Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold anti the latter's executive assistant, Andrew W. Cordier. He had brought a new idea which he tried out on them. Hammarskjold called . in Dr: Ralph I. Bunche. As the former mediator between Israel and the_ Arab states, the man who brought about the four armistice agreements in 1949, Bunche was the UN's foremost expert on the Israeli-Arab disputes. . Hammarskjold, Cordier and Bunche agreed with Pearson's idea. -So, at dawn on Nov. 2, Pearson told the Assembly he would like to see em: bodied in a resolution a provision authorizing the Secretary-General "to begin to make arrangements with member governments for a United Nations force, large enough to keep these borders (between Egypt and Israel). at peace while a political settlement is being worked out." The Pearson proposal electrified the Assembly. The delegates adopted the - proposal, gave Hammarskjold 48 hours to work out a plan to put the proposal into effect., Twenty-four hours later, four men sat at a counter at an all-night hamburger joint -a block from the United Nations. The men were Ham- marskjold, Cordier, Bunche and William Ranallo—Hammarskjold's personal bodyguard. There, over hamburgers and coffee, the UNEF_ plan was not only nailed down; the intricate logistics for putting such a - forceinto the field—with everything from guns, supplies, food and even the cloth, blue- white UN identification helmets—were finalized. Hammarskjold delivered • his -report to the Assembly—not in 48 hours as ordered, but in 36 hours. Within two weeks—UNEF was on location, in Egypt. .

Seeks to Avert Congress Debate on Arabs' Boycott BALTIMORE, (JTA) — The United_ States Department of State is striving to avert an open discussion in Congress on the issue of the Arab blockade in the debate on the pending Mutual Aid bill, according to the chief diplomatic correspondent of the Baltimore Sun. Writing from Washington, the correspondent asserted that this effort is- motivated by concern on the part of the United States about Arab votes in the forthcoming session of the United Nations General Assembly. He declared that State Department officials hoping for. Arab League -support on crucial issues before the Assembly were wearing "long faces" chiefly because of the fight in Congress against foreign aid to Arab countries practicing boycott and blockade tactics against Israel and against American enterprises doing business with Israel. "Chief among the local developments complicating Washington's rela- tions with the Arab world is a by-product of the current debate on Capitol Hill about the Kennedy Administration's foreign aid program and, more particularly, of insistence on the part of some members of Congress that the United States Treasury should not be tapped for aid to countries that discriminate against American citizens on racial or religious grounds," the correspondent, Paul Ward, wrote. Reporting that during recent Senate. Foreign Relations Committee hear- ings, Sen. - J. W. Fulbright, Arkansas Democrat, "assailed" the anti-bias clause proposed by the White House as "offensive to the Arab world," the Sun correspondent emphasized that Sen. Fulbright did more than to assail the aforementioned policy declaration as irrelevant to the Foreign Aid bill. "He belabored the point to such an extent that he finally got Phillips Talbot, Assistant Secretary of State for Near EaStern Affairs, and Henry R. Labouisse, International Cooperation Administration director, to agree to deletion of the passage," the correspondent stressed. However, •Ward noted, the "opposite kind of reaction" developed in Continued on Page 3 Weizmann Institute Develops Apparatus to Record 'Brain Waves' Cat wearing Sub-Miniature Electroencephalograph ( EEG) developed. by Ephraim Frei and Henryk Fischler at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovoth, Israel. The apparatus is designed to record brain waves. A new apparatus for recording "brain waves" in 'humans and animals has been devel- oped al the Weizmann Institute of Science. Called a "Sub-Miniature Electroencephalograph" (EEG) it is part of an existing conventional system for brain-wave recording which has been greatly improved by scientists in the electronics department of the Weizmann Institute. The staff members concerned were Henryk Fischler, engineer, and Prof. Ephraim H.' Frei, head' of the department. Development of the instrument was made possible by a grant given by the Bathsheda de Rothschild Foundation for the AdVancement of Science in Israel. The tiny new EEG was shown at the fourth International Conference on Medical Elec- tronics held recently in New York. It is a miniature transmitter- which is placed directly on the head of the subject under investigation. Cats have been used as the experimental animals, but an even smaller unit is being built for pigeons. The instrument enables scientists and medical men to record brain waves without involving the elaborate wiring systems now used in conventional instruments. The absence of connection wires in the new Rehovoth-made instrument provides greater flexibility in the measurements of brain waves. It also makes it'possible to investigate the subject under natural conditions. . • . The main advantage of the instrument is its . miniature size. One of the smallest medical instruments of the kind ever produced, it can be slipped into a pocket and is wholly transis- torized. Its over-all dimens,ions are one and one half by one and one sixth by one and one quarter inches and it weighs just one ounce. Prof. Frei said that a number of other medical electronics 'instruments are being devel-• oped at the Institute with the interdepartmental cooperation of various departments. Prof. Frei is also the co-inventor of an electro-dynamic speaker of revolutionary design which is already in production. The new amplifier, or "Isophase" speaker 'is of a wafer-thin flatness in contrast to the paper cone which is part of any conventional loud-speaker. It will be of value for high fidelity and stereophonic syStems and for television receivers.
