Stronger Guarantees Demanded in Israel
(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)
JERUSALEM — Israel needs
stronger guarantees for its se-
curity against Arab attack than
that voiced by White House
Aide Myer Feldman, David Ha-.
cohen of Prime Minister David
Ben-Gurion's Mapai party de-
clared Tuesday in the debate in
parliament which followed the
Prime Minister's foreign policy
address.
Hacohen's reference was to a
statement by Feldman in Wash-
ington that the -U.S. was com-
mitted to the integrity of Israel
and did not intend "to sit on
the sidelines if there is any
threat" to Israel.
The Mapai deputy said that
the United States has opposed
such an arms inflow into the
area for many years but has
not done anything to stop it.
He recalled the statement of
then President Eisenhower that
the United States would not tol-
erate an anti-Israel boycott in
use of the Suez Canal, and add-
ed that the United States must
frame its guarantees "in a more
formal and binding manner."
Elimelech Rim al t, Liberal
MP, said that the Prime Minis-
ter had been silent about the
issue of western guarantees of
Israel's security and said that
silence was a "riddle."
Yaacov Hazan of the leftist
Mapam said Israel should seek
guarantees whether by four,
three or one nation or by the
United Nations, "but not a de-
fense pact with the United
States." He said such a pact
would "automatically put Israel
squarely in one of the world's
blocs."
Rabbi I. M. Levin of Agudat
Israel said that if Nasserite sup-
porters gained control in Jor-
dan, Israel would be justified in
launching a preventive attack.
Algerian Premier Calls
for Arab Unity; Says
Israel Is 'Common Enemy'
LONDON, (JTA) — In the
face of the continued Syrian
purge of pro-Nasser elements
from the army and civil serv-
ice, just a few weeks after
Syria agreed to join Egypt and
Iraq in a new tripartite United
Arab Republic, Ahmed Ben
Bella, Prime Minister of Al-
geria, appealed to Syria and
Iraq to stay united with Egypt.
"Beware of Israel, our corn-
mOn enemy," the Algerian
Prime Minister said in a state-
ment in Algiers. He was greet-
ing Egypt's President Gamal
Abdel Nasser, who came on a
four-day state visit to Algeria.
The Algerian Prime Minister
also said in his speech that he
hoped that his country would
enter the new United Arab Re-
public.
Javits to Ask for Mutual
Defense Treaty for M. E.
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Senator
Jacob K. Javits announced he
will introduce into the Senate
a resolution calling on. the
United States Government to
initiate negotiations for a mu-
tual defense treaty in the Mid-
dle East with the United King-
dom, France, Israel "and any
Middle East state including the
Arab states which would be
willing to hold the borders of
its neighbors inviolate."
In an address at the annual
national dinner of the Union
of Orthodox Jewish Congrega-
tions of America here, the New
York Senator warned of "a
mounting war threat in the
Middle East" arising from the
"declared intentions" of the
United Arab Republic "to liqui-
date _ Israel and to push the
Israelis into the sea."
Noting that Egypt's Presi-
dent Nasser received U. S.
aid last year totaling an esti-
mated $250,000,000, Sen. Ja-
vits stated: "We must deter-
mine whether we want to let
Nasser continue his state of
war with Israel. He is inter-
fering in every state in the
-
Middle East; in Saudi Arabia
and Jordan where the gov-
ernment is under attack
through riots said to be fo-
mented on a pro-Nasser basis
and in Yemen where he has
just had his troops. In addi-
tion, he is acquiring large
amounts of arms from the
Soviet Union and other Com-
munist sources, creating a
very dangerous arms race in
that area of the world."

American Jewry to provide in-
creased financial support to the

My brother-in-law, Joe, is the sweetest man
I've ever known. I love him. I love his wife;
she's my sister. I love their two boys. That's
why it pains me that Joe can't make a living.
He works hard and he's not stupid. But he
just closes his ears and his eyes to life's re-
alities. Isn't that one way of describing a
"shlemiehl"?
Joe has the most fantastic explanations for
the fall-off in his business. His favorite is the
weather. It's too hot or too cold; it's too
rainy or too pleasant. Spring came early or it
came late. Joe gets lots of customers at his
neighborhood restaurant and luncheonette;
the trouble is that far too many of them fail
to return. What's the explanation? Don't ask
Joe. He might tell you that it's the Cold War
—he'll never admit that it could be cold soup.
And his wife is worse than Joe.
"Abe," she says to me, "don't talk busi-
ness to Joe tonight. He's had a hard day. This
isn't the right time." (No time seems to be
the right time.)
"Abe, don't get excited," she says to me.
"It's not good for your heart," (Believe me,
it's worse for my heart when I hold things
inside of me.)
"Abe," she says, "Mamma is coming for
dinner. Don't spoil the atmosphere."
Well, I did spoil the atmosphere. I talked
up. I mentioned what I thought was a rela-
tively easy subject to discuss.
"Joe," I said, "whenever I eat in a good
restaurant, whether it's an expensive estab-
lishment or a successful diner or hamburger
stand, I notice one thing. They all serve Heinz
Ketchup. In your restaurant, you try to save
a few cents; you serve another kind. It's good
ketchup," I hastened to add as I saw Joe's
sad expression. "Yes, you serve good ketchup,
but not the best. Surely your customers must
notice."
40
Joe took a pill out of his pocket, gulped it
down furiously, and gave me one of his typi-
cal irrelevant answers:—
"Abe, what do you want of me? I run a
little neighborhood luncheonette. I'm not
Grossinger's." .
"That's just the point," answered. "You
must act like Grossinger's in the ketchup
department, that is. All over the world Heinz
is the best-selling, most popular ketchup. As
things stand now, when customers eat at
your restaurant, you almost announce that
you are saving the few extra pennies that they,
themselves, spend for ketchup in their own
homes. Joe," -1 pleaded, "don't lead with your
chin. People are influenced by little things.
They don't stand up and make a speech when
they're displeased. They don't write you
poison pen letters. They just go somewhere
else to eat."
I call that good advice! But did you change
Joe? Well, that's the way I changed him. My
dear brother-in-law reminds me of that
classic Jewish story, "die vier okshonim," the
four stubborn men.
I wish the ketchup problem was the whole
trouble with Joe. It's not. It is merely an ex-
ample. However, my hands are tied and I'm
afraid that my tongue is tied, too.
Anyway, thanks for "listening" to my tale
of woe. To reward you for your patience, I
want to send you a mimeographed copy of
the "vier okshonim" story (in English, of
course) just in case you have never heard
that very funny satirical tale.
You can reach me by addressing a post-
card or letter to Abe B., Box 151, Woodmere,
New York. It's the only address you need;
I have made all the necessary arrangements
with the Post Office. You see, I don't want
to use my real name. Why should I add to
Joe's miseries?
