UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., (JTA)—The head of the United Nations agency set up to pro- vide "relief and works" for more than 1,000,000 Arab refu- gees, wrote off this week the feasibility of any "works" proj- ects. Commissioner General John H. Davis took that stand in sup- plementary reports to the Gen- eral Assembly in connection with his annual report submit- ted last month. He also in- formed the Assembly in the six "background papers" that: 1. There were "at least 100,- 000 dead persons" still listed on UNRWA relief rolls but that "rectification" has been impos- sible because the Arab "govern- mental authorities" felt "the time was not opportune." 2. All efforts at economic reintegration of the refugees that might lead to their re- settlement in Arab countries had to be dropped because of Arab governmental opposition. The "background paper s" were prepared to help the As- sembly evaluate the entire Arab refugee relief program. The Un- ited Nations must decide this year whether and how to con- tinue these operations after next June 30 when UNRWA's current mandate expires. In one of the documents, Da- vis presented figures purporting to show that the Arab host gov- ernments—Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon—had contributed nearly $45,000,000 since 1948 to help the refugees, figures he admitted were based "on data" from the Arab governments. The total included Egypt's ex- penditures for maintaining po- lice to guard the refugee camps in the Gaza strip and to prevent refugees from escaping. In reviewing UNRWA's ex- perience with works project, Davis absolved the Arab gov- ernments for failure to co- operate in such plans during the past 13 years. He con- tended the Arab governments Russia Undergoes Heavy Attack on Charges of Anti-Semitism by Australian, U.S. Delegates in UN UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JTA) — Before the world forum of the United Nations General Assembly, Australia urged the Soviet Union this week to let Russian Jews emigrate if it could not assure them religi- ous freedom. The Australian representative to the Assembly's Social, Human- itarian and Cultural Committee, H. D. White, also urged that the Kremlin act to stop the anti- - Semitic campaign against Jews in the Soviet press. At the same session, Mrs. Marietta P. Tree, of the United States, also asked specific questions about the con- dition of Soviet Jews. British representative H. P. Attlee also attacked the Soviet Union on the issue. The condemnations were the first on that issue against the Soviet Union directly in the As- sembly. They were put in the form of questions and flat charges to Yaakov Ostrovsky, al- ternate representative to t h e third committee. Mrs. Tree addressed two ques- tions to the Russian representa- tive, asking him why Jews are marked on passports as such, the only religious group in the Soviet Union so identified, and why Jews were the only religious group denied a representative national organization. The Russian delegate ignored both questions, said all nationali- ties in the USSR were equal and asked Mrs. Tree in turn what had happened at the University of Mississippi, and why some clubs in Washington, D. C. barred Jews as members. Mrs. Tree reported that to protect the freedom of one man, Negro stu- dent, James Meredith, "t h e United States Government was ready to employ military force," and cited the progress of civil rights in the United States. In a more direct argument, the Australian delegate charged the Soviet Union with anti-Semitism and the Russian delegate replied he was "a liar." Spelling out his charge, White said that in some countries, anti-Semitic activities were met by police action but that the Soviet Union was not one of them. He cited the official Soviet restrictions against freedom of worship, the closing of syna- gogues, the ban on baking 'of matzoh last Passover and the high percentage of Jews among those sentenced and executed for "economic offenses." In the name of the Australian govern- ment, he asked the Soviet gov- ernment to allow any Russian Jew who wanted to leave Russia to do so.

Vienna Investigates Swastika Plague VIENNA, (JTA) — Police were investigating the appear- ance of a large number of swastikas found smeared on walls of buildings in Moedling, near here. The incident was believed to be connected with the forth- coming Austrian general elc- tions. The culprits have not yet been apprehended. had "not rejected the prin- ciple of economic develop. ment per se" but that they had "affirmed the right of the refugees to their home- land," which Davis has made clear he agrees with the Arab leaders, is Israel. Referring to the Johnson plan for a regional project to develop the waters of the Jor- dan River, Davis reported mere- ly that the plan fell through because "Arab-Israel collabora- tion was not possible." He failed to state, however, that the Arab governments, which had approved the technical and en- gineering phases of the John: son plan, had reneged on pol- itical grounds, while Israel was ready to accept the plan. Davis mentioned the plan proposed by the late Secretary- General Dag Hammarskjold for the economic integration of the entire Middle East, including not only the refugee population but also the rest of the people in the area. He asserted that the Arab governments showed "readiness to cooperate in every manner," but he did not indi- cate clearly that the same gov- ernments killed the Hammars- kjold plan. in Israel. The Cabinet approved the educational TV project.
