JERUSALEM--Mikhail B o d -
rov, the Soviet Ambassador to
Israel, said Wednesday he would
look into the matter of the re-
fusal of Soviet authorities to
allow import of matzohs for So-
viet Jews for Passover.
The envoy made the state-
ment in reply to a question
under unique circumstances—
while he was wearing a skullcap
during a two-hour visit to Hei-
chal Shlomo, headquarters of Is-
rael's Chief Rabbinate. He was
received by Chief Rabbi Yitzhak
Nissim.
The envoy and two Soviet em-
bassy officials—all wearing skull-
caps—toured the building and
visited the rabbinical library and
the museum. They held long
talks with the Chief Rabbi and
Heichal Shlomo officials.

attempt by an unknown as-
sailant to shoot him dead this
weekend.

quiet Sabbath • at home with

German Minister
Discourages Bids
for Compensation'
BONN, (JTA) — Dr. Rolf
Dahlgrun, the West German
Finance Minister, indicated
there was no point in submitting
of applications for compensa-
tion in connection with forth-
coming legislation to. complete
the West German laws on com-
pensation and restitution for
Victims of the Nazi era.
The principal effect of the
projected legislation would be
to erase a cutoff date which
barred such compensation to
victims of the Nazi era who
were behind the Iron ,Curtain.
Jewish claims organizations
have been pressing the West
German government for some
time to make 'these changes.
It was reported here that
the bills probably would be
submitted to the West German
parliament before its summer
recess. The additional costs of
the expanded legislation to
West Germany has been esti-
mated at 3,600,000,000 marks
($900,000,000.)
Israel Alerted to Wa•-Threating Situation
(Continued from Page 1)
Yemeni loyalist forces.
JTA reports from London that
the United States is being ac-
cused in the British press of
aiding Nasser indirectly in in-
stigating revolutions in other
Arab countries.
Declaring that Nasser is "rid-
ing high in triumph" following
the revolutions he instigated in
Syria, Iraq and Yemen, the Lon-
don Daily Mail said that Western
experts believe that Nasser is
paying at least $1,000,000 per
day for Yemen. The money, the
paper asserted, comes actually
from the United States which
gives Egypt free surplus food
which in turn is sold by Egypt
for cash. "This cash, instead of
going into internal . development
of Egypt, pays for the Yemen
war," the Daily Mail stresses.
The paper says that the United
States "turns a blind eye" to
Nasser's ambition to dominate
the Middle East and control its
oil. The Daily Telegraph simi-
larly emphasizes in an editorial
that "the policy of Nasser is to
instigate' and support military
coups, and the policy of the
United States is not to interfere
with Nasser's movements."
According to a Tel Aviv dis-
patch to the Sunday ObserVer in
London. Israel believes Jordan
may be on the list of Arab gov-
ernmental turn-overs, and fears
that an expansion of the Dam-
ascus-Baghdad bloc in the East
may combine with an Egyptian
drive from the West to revive
the anti-Israel "siege mentality."
The newspaper's Beirut corres-
pondent cabled that Israel may
now be "confronted by a more
closely knit Arab world." The
Sunday Observer's Cairo corres-
pondent reported that Al Gum-
horia, a newspaper close to the
Nasser regime, has declared:
"The Syrian revolution has com-
pleted a circle to blockade reac-
tionary bases in Jordan and
Saudi Arabia and the imperial-
ist base in Israel."
Well-informed Israeli circles
in Jerusalem felt it is clear that
this country's main immediate
concern, as a result of the
Syrian putsch following so close-
Swedish Intellectuals
Issue Manifesto
Against Anti-Semitism
STOCKHOLM, (JTA) — A
group of 70 prominent Swedish
intellectual personalities, in-
cluding a large proportion of
university professors, writers,
artists and musicians estab-
lished a committee here to
combat anti-Semitism and neo-
Nazism in this country.
In a manifesto against neo-
Nazism and anti-Semitism in
Sweden and anti-Semitic acti-
vities in general, the members
of the group declared: "Sweden
had always been a free, liberal
country with the best traditions
of tolerance until Hitler Nazism
appeared which has spread the
dangerous bacteria of race
hatred and anti-Semitism."

ly after the Iraqi events of a
month ago centers on the effects
these moves may have on Jor-
dan and on Israel's security vis-
a-vis Jordan.
It was evident from develop-
ments in Jordan as viewed from
Israel that the Amman govern-
ment fears revolution—although
a revolt there may not be of a
pro-Nasserite nature. Jordan was
quick like Egypt to recognize the
new Syrian government. But
there seemed to be possibilities
that that recognition does not
imply a pro-Nasser policy.
The developing situation may
interfere with some of the
planned new economic schemes
in Israel according to some
correspondents and William H.
Stoneman, Chicago Daily News
correspondent, has cabled from
London the belief that the new
Arab coup may prevent Israel
from implementing the water de-
velopment program.
The Syrian and Iraqi dele-
gations which concluded talks
• in Damascus Monday on behalf
of the new pro-Nasser regimes
in their countries agreed to in-
tensify action against Israel,
the London Daily Telegraph
reported in a dispatch from the
Syrian capital.
The Daily Express reported
from Cairo that Nasser was
planning a five-nation Arab mili-
tary pact aimed at formation of
an Arab army equipped with
Soviet submarines and jet fight-
ers. The Express said that the
plans call for Nasser to be the
Supreme Commander of all
Middle East Arab military forces
with the goal of crushing Jordan
and Saudi Arabia first and fin-
ally Israel.
(In Washington, the Depart-
ment of State made known that
the United States has decided to
grant diplomatic recognition to
the new regime in Syria.)
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Rep.
Cornelius E. Gallagher, New
Jersey Democrat, a member of
the House Committee on For-
eign Affairs, told the House
that "present-day Soviet anti-
Semitism is a stern warning to
the believer of all faiths - as to
what they might expect from
Communist dictatorship."
In a statement on the House
floor, he said that Soviet anti-
Semitic actions "permit no
other interpretations." He said
"the world—and especially the
new nations of Asia and Africa
—will pass stern judgment on
Soviet racism as the sordid
facts are brought to light."
