The Senators cited the con-
tinuing flow of Soviet Jets and
rockets to the Arabs, and termed
the Hawk decision an overdue
recognition of a one-sided arms
race. They said that recognition
of a threat to Near Eastern
peace made clear that the U.S.A.
has a responsibility to use its
influence at the United Nations
for a resolution for direct Arab-
Israel peace negotiations.
In addition to Sen. Dirksen,
the Senators who issued the

U.S. Jewish Groups
Hail Decision to Sell
Missiles to Israel
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The

Conference of Presidents of
Major Jewish Organizations, com-
posed of 18 national Jewish
groups in this country, sent a
telegram to Secretary of State
Dean Rusk, hailing the decision
to sell d e f e n s i v e missiles to
Israel. The message, signed by
Rabbi Irving Miller, chairman of
the Conference, read:
"The Government's decision to
sell to Israel short-range, defen-
sive missiles will be welcomed
by all American citizens who are
concerned with peace and stabil-
ity in the Middle East. It will
prevent a dangerous imbalance
of power resulting from the flow
of arms into the Arab states, and
their aggressive use against
Israel.
"I pray that this constructive
measure on your part will con-
tribute toward the maintenance
of peace in the Middle East and
throughout the world."

United States and the Soviet
Union had been able to agree
on stopping tl.,e whole arms race
in the area.
One delegate was willing to be
quoted by name. He was Ahmed
Shukairy of Saudi Arabia, a
principal spokesman for anti-
Israel sentiments of the Arab
bloc at the United Nations. He
said the decision was "sheer
hypocrisy." The United States,
he said, talked about disarma-
ment at the UN "and at the
same time" gives Israel arms.

Israel Gratified By Decision

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — The
Israel press and public hailed
the United States decision to sell
Hawk missiles to Israel.
It was generally agreed that
the Hawk would not serve as an
answer to the threat of Egypt's
ground-to-ground missiles but it
was agreed nevertheless that the
decision was an important move
in strengthening Israel's security.
It was agreed that the decision
marked a significant change in
United States policy as well as
an acceptance of Israel's insist-
ence that NasSer's arms buildup
posed a t h r eat to Israel's
security.
While official comment was
withheld, it was recalled that
both Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion and Chief of Staff Zvi
Tzur had stated publicly that
Israel had modern new weapons
which could be an answer to the
Egyptian rocket which Nasser
had boasted could reach any
point in Israel.
The Israeli press gave banner
treatment to the story. One
newspaper ran a cartoon show-
ing a Hawk missile trailing a
L'Shono Tovo' card signed by
President Kennedy.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman
confirmed that Israel had ap-
proached the United States with

some time ago that the United
States would meet the request.
Israeli newspapers agreed that
the decision was a response to
the untiring efforts of Israeli
officials in the United States to
persuade U.S. officials that if
Nasser became convinced he was
militarily stronger than Israel,
he might launch an attack on
Israel.

TEL AVIV—In the first offi-
cial government comment on the
decision to sell hawk missiles to
Israel, Deputy Defense Minister
Shimon Peres said Monday night
that the decision was an impor-
tant political turning point "be-
cause of the arms themselves,
the manner in which they are
being given and the manner in
which the announcement was
made."
Speaking on a radio broadcast,
the Deputy Minister said that
the political and military aspects
of the decision went hand in
hand and that their common
purpose was to "strengthen the
feeling of peace and Israel's
deterrent power." He warned
that Israel "must make the nec-
essary effort so that we do not
find ourselves falling behind. We
must produce the same force of
strength which will once again
constitute a balance of military
power and a deterrent" to Egyp-
tian President Nasser's "new
feeling engendered by his pos-
session of military missiles."
The evening newspaper Yediot
Achronot reported Tuesday that
Peres would leave soon for
Washington, possibly this month,
accompanied by high army offi-
cers, to begin negotiations for
purchase of the hawk missile.
The newspaper said that Mrs.
Golda Meir, I s r a e s Foreign
Minister, might join the talks.

VIENNA — The usually well
informed Kurier, Vienna's larg-
est daily newspaper, carried a
page one story Tuesday asserting
that secret talks were underway
in Vienna between Soviet offi-
cials and an Egyptian general
staff officer on deliveries of
additional arms to Egypt.
The Newspaper said that the
Assistant Egyptian Chief of. Staff
conferred over the week-end
secretly with Czechoslovakian
and Soviet delegates. Trust-
worthy sources were cited to the
effect that conferences on the
matter of shipments of arms to
Egypt were held in a Soviet:
owned house and lasted many
hours.
Austrian authorities expressed
alarm about the reports because
they could have included discus-
sions of transit of the arms over
Austria which could complicate
Austria's official neutrality.

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. —
Dr. Mahmoud F a w z i, Foreign
Minister of Egypt, asserted Tues-
day at the UN that the United
States decision to sell Hawk mis-
siles to Israel would "inevitably"
prompt Israel to "more aggres-
siveness and more hostilities."
Speaking at the 17th plenary
meeting of the General Assembly,
he said there had been "evil
policies" behind the creation of
Israel and that the policy of

"equality of arms" had been fol-
lowed in conjunction with a long
series of Israeli "aggressions"
which had been condemned by
the UN.
He said that among the most
serious of world problems cur-
rently was the "most ominous"
situation of the unsolved "ques-
tion of Palestine." He referred
to the struggle of the Algerian
Moslems for independence and
then said the Arab world wanted
to know whether "Palestine's
turn" would come for a "decent
long overdue solution" fully re-
storing "to the Arabs of Pales-
tine all their rights."
The Egyptian Foreign Minister
said that the alternative was to
continue "to throw the refugees
on the mercy of a reluctant
world while leaving those Arabs
in Israel—in their own country
—to be treated as third class
citizens." He asserted that a solu-
tion had not yet been found be-
cause of a "shockingly persistant
unwillingness" by many not to
face the question squarely and
make an honest choice "between
right and wrong."
He continued that his coun-
try's position on "Palestine" was
firmly based on "the inalienable
rights of the Arab nation in Pal-
estine" and that his country
would "most strongly" resist any
attempt "to fritter those rights
away."
Expressing deep regret over
the "persistent colonialism" of
Portugal and other powers in
Africa he said too little attention
was paid to the fact that "world
political Zionism" was fulfilling
"in Palestine the worst expres-
sion of colonialism ever known."
This, he said, was "an invasion
which has entrenched itself in
the country." The Arab people,
he asserted, "had been replaced
by imported and motley seg-
ments of misled Jewry" and
Israel, living on "charity and
alms," extended "so-called"
assistance to other countries as
"a bait and a spider web."

150th Anniversary
of Death of Lubavitcher
Rebbe to Be Observed
NEW YORK, (JTA) — Rabbi
Menachem M. Schneerson, the
Lubavitcher Rebbe, proclaimed
the Jewish year 5723 as the
150th anniversary year mark-
ing the death of Rabbi Shneur
Zalman of Liadi, founder of the
Chabad-Lubavitch Hassidic move-
ment.
A special program 'of studies
of the works of the first Luba-
vitcher Rebbe and the establish-
ment of a fund for their publi-
cation was announced by Rabbi
Schneerson.
Rabbi Shneur Zalman passed
away 150 years ago, on Teveth
24, (this year on January 20)
leaving many unpublished works
which have since been published,
in part, by his successors, the
Lubavitcher Rebbes, during their
respective years at the helm of
the Lubavitcher movement.
The present Lubavitcher
Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M.
Schneerson, a direct descendant
of Rabbi Shneur Zalman and
seventh in the dynasty of Cha-
bad-Lubavitch leaders, has in
recent years published several
volumes of Rabbi Shneur Zal-
man's works.

amazing of all — results were so thor-
ough that sufferers made astonishing
statements like "Piles have ceased to
be a problem!" The secret is a new
healing substance (Bio-Dyne®)— dis-
covery of a world-famous research
