Senators Offer Amendment Banning
Aid to Nations Waging Hate Campaigns

WASHINGTON (JTA)—Sen-
ators Kenneth B. Keating, New
York Republican, and Paul H.
Douglas, Illinois Democrat, in-
troduced an amendment to the
Foreign Aid Bill to ban aid to
the Arab states or other govern-
ments which wage intensive
hate campaigns.
The bill was also co-sponsored
by Senators Hugh Scott, Penn-
sylvania Republican, and Wil-
liam Proxmire, Wisconsin Dem-
ocrat
Keating told the senate that
Egypt's Nasser was "the main
offender in the exploitation of
hate propaganda." He cited a
U.S. Government report reveal-
ing accelerated Arab propagan-
da against Israel in the press,
radio and television in the last
six months.
While approving a clause in
the: House version of the For-
eign Aid Bill which could ban
aid to nations preparing mili-
tary aggression against neigh-
bors, Keating criticized the
omission from the bill of "propa-
ganda offenses which may re-
quire just as great a diversion
of funds as military prepara-
tion."
He said that "spending by the
underdeveloped nations on pro-
paganda is just as inimical to
the interests of peace as spend-
ing on actual weapons. To teach
national hatreds may be more
dangerous in the long run and
more conducive to hostilities."
He added that "Voice of the
Arabs" blocked peace moves in
the Middle East and that propa-
ganda expenditures were wholly
out of proportion in budgets of
nations like Egypt.
Keating also drew attention
of the Senate to a letter by na-
tional commander Daniel Hel-
ler, of the Jewish War Veter-
ans, to President Kennedy, op-
posing further aid to Egypt in

JLC's Trade Union
Asks UN to Discuss
Soviet Jewry Issue

UNITY HOUSE, Pa. (JTA)—
The United Nations General As-
sembly was urged by 500 dele-
gates attending the Jewish La-
bor Committee's National Trade
Union Conference on Human
Rights here to "investigate con-
ditions under which Jews in the
Soviet Union are forced to live."
The resolution, passed unani-
mously, called on Secretary
General U Thant to place the
question of liquidation of Jew-
ish cultural religious communal
life in the Soviet Union on the
agenda.

Ironwood is as far west as
St. Louis, Mo.; Hancock is
farther north than Montreal,
Canada; Port - Huron is as far

Asheville, N. C. It is nearly as

New York City. With Detroit
as the center, a circle that in-
cludes Ironwood also includes
Ottawa, Canada; Philadelphia,

Detroit is closer to Europe
via the St. Lawrence Seaway
than it is by land to New York
and then by water; for example:
it is 300 miles closer to London,
to LeHavre and to Antwerp via
the all-water route; it is also
204 miles closer to Bordeaux;
and 41 miles closer to ports on
the Mediterranean such as Mar-

Israel Bond Sales This Year Reach
18 Per Cent Incre ase Over 1962

During the period from Jan. 1
through Sept. 13, a total of $34,-
050,000 in Israel Bonds was sold,
it was reported by Dr. Joseph
J. Schwartz, vice-president of
the Israel Bond Organization.
The amount represents an in-
crease of approximately 18 per
cent or more than $5,000,000
over the $28,690,850 sold during
the same period in 1962,
Schwartz declared. He expres-
sed the hope that the intensive

would make possible the attain-

Israel Reaffirms Support of UN
Policy Against A frican Apartheid

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y.,

(JTA)—Israel reaffirmed its
support for a United Nations res-
olution condemning South Afri-
ca's policy of apartheid, and
assured the UN that it has
taken steps to bar the ship-
ment of Israeli arms, ammuni-
tion or strategic materials to
South Africa, "directly or in-
directly."
The Israeli government's po-
sition was stated in reply to a
letter sent to all member-
states by the. UN's Special Com-
mittee on the Policies of Apar-
theid. The letter requested
governmental statements on the
general issue.
Israel's government, the reply
stated, "has noted with deep
concern the further deteriora-
tion in the situation". in South
Africa. The Israeli letter noted
that "the people of Israel have
a deep abhorrence of all forms
of discrimination on grounds
of race, color or religion deriv-
ing from age-old spiritual values
as well as from lengthy and
tragic historical experience."

In addition to barring
Israeli arms to South Africa,
the letter declared, the Israel
government is "at present
actively considering the tak-
ing of further measures as
part of the general effort of
member states of the United
Nations, aimed at bringing
about the abandonment of
the policies of apartheid by
the government of South
Africa."
The 18th sesssion of the
United Nations General As-
sembly opened Tuesday with
the perpetual Arab-Israeli
issues among the '77 items on
its agenda.

It was confidently predicted
here that the three UN bodies
dealing with Arab-Israel prob-
lems will continue their exist-
ence at the present levels into
1964. These bodies are: 1. The
United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Re-
fugees, which has more than
1,000,000 Arab refugees on its
relief rolls; 2. The United Na-
tions Truce Supervision Or-
ganization, which maintains its
headquarters in Jerusalem's
No-Man's Land; 3. The United
Nations Emergency For c e,
which guards the Israel-Gaza
Strip border as well as the
Egyptian shores of the Gulf of
Akaba. There was no doubt in
highest diplomatic and Secre-
tarial circles here that the nec-
essary budgets will be voted for
all three groups.
Israel will come to the As-
sembly this year with a dele-
gation composed largely of ex-
perts who are well known here.
Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's For-
eign Minister, will head the
delegation.
During her absence, Ambas-
sador Michael S. Comay, Israel's
permanent representative, will
carry on his duties as delegation
chairman. Other members of
the delegation will be Ambassa-
dor Arthur Laurie, coming here
from his post as Israeli envoy
to London; a group of leading
Foreign Ministry officials; and
three members of the Knesset.

Israel will participate in the
debates on a number of gen-
eral matters, not directly con-
nected with the Middle East,
including ..several agenda

ment of economic self-reliance."
Twelve-year Israel Savings
Bonds purchased in 1951 are
now being repaid at the rate of
150 cents on the dollar.
Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, chair-
man of the board of governors
of the Israel Bond Organization,
who recently returned from a
visit to Israel, reported that the
country is "growing and devel-
oping at a remarkable pace.
Everywhere you turn," he said,
"you see new buildings spring-
ing up — public buildings,
schools, hospitals and many new
buildings for the incoming im-
migrants."
Silver emphasized the signifi-
cance of Israel Bond purchases
in making possible Israel's rapid
rate of economic advance.

"The purchase of Israel
Bonds on the part of our
people," he pointed out, "is
evidence of their confidence
in the stability of the State
and their great pride in its
growth and development."
