Neumann Asserts Jewish. Agency, Zionism Vindicated in Futlbright's Investigation. NEW YORK, (JTA) — Dr. Emanuel Neumann, chairman of the Jewish Agency—Ameri- can Section, issued a statement in response to requests for com- ment on the recent investiga- tion and public hearing into Jewish Agency - American Sec- tion affairs, conducted by the Senate Foreign Relations Com- mittee, headed by Sen. J. W. Fulbright. The hearing took place in Washington during Dr. Neumann's absence, while he was visiting Israel. Dr. Neu- mann stated: "In the first place, it should be clear that the Jewish Agency was called upon to testify, along with many other organizations and individuals who are regis- tered with the Department of Justice, because they represent foreign principals. The purpose of such hearings, as stated offi- cially, was to help the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations to decide whether the operation of the law adopted in 1938 is satisfactory, or whether any amendments should be recom- mended. "Sen. Fulbright has been ob- viously within his rights in con- ducting an inquiry into the operations of the Jewish Agency and other pro-Israel organiza- tions, though I do not profess to know the precise reasons that have prompted this intensive study of our affairs. "Nor can I assess the boasts of certain notoriously hostile elements claiming credit for directing the attention of of- ficial agencies to 'the Zionist conspiracy'—part of their re- peated attempts to denigrate and discourage pro-Israel ef- forts in the United States. These pathetic attempts are most certainly doomed to failure. Our movement has encountered more formidable adversaries in the past and emerged triumphant. "Any official inquiry can easily be sensationalized in headlines. What is most im- portant, however, is the fact that a prolonged and meticu- lous examination has turned up absolutely nothing damag- ing to the status of the Jew- ish Agency. On the contrary, it has served to explode some malicious myths and to dis- pose of misrepresentation propagated by fanatical oppo- nents. The hearings have also docu- mented the historic role which the Jewish Agency and other pro - Israel organizations have played in the rescue of Jewish refugees, to the development of Israel and support for her le- gitimate rights and interests. Sen. Fulbright himself took oc- casion to compliment the Jew- ish Agency on its great achieve- ments and to state repeatedly that there was 'no wrong doing' —nothing either illegal or im- proper in its activities. "The only issue that devel- oped concerns a technical ques- tion: Whether reports filed by the Jewish Agency periodically, in accordance with legal re- quirements, were in every in- stance sufficiently detailed. We have every reason to be proud of the record. It is a vindica- tion of our program. "We are quite confident that the devoted friends of Israel in this country, Christians and Jews, Zionists and non-Zionists alike, will not be deterred from continuing to give their moral and material support to a cause dear to their hearts and sanc- tioned by the overwhelming For the very best deal—plus ... extra good service, prompt delivery—see HARRY ABRAM Fleet Manager ABLE, WILLING AND EAGER TO SERVE YOU I GEORGE OHRENSTE11111 Certified Master Watchmaker and Jeweler 18963 LIVERNOIS UN 1-8184 KAPLAN BROS.

During an impromptu address at a reception tendered in his honor by the Jerusalem branch of his Mapai Party, the Prime Minister addressed himself di- rectly to representatives of Arab villages who took part in the reception. "We must learn and remem- ber that which unifies us and forget that - which divides us," he said. Dwelling on his con- tacts with Arabs from his first days in this country, he de- clared that he would do his utmost as Prime Minister to foster a closer understanding between the two peoples. - majority of the American peo- ple. "Speaking for the American Section of the Jewish Agency, and American Zionist groups whose close cooperation we have always enjoyed, I have this to add: Consistent with our de- votion to the national interest, we will pursue our efforts on behalf of Zionism and the State of Israel as vigorously and ef- fectively in the future as in the past. We will continue to do so by all proper and legitimate means available to free men in a free society, and in full com- pliance with all legal and tech- nical requirements." We're Back From Vacation .
