The charge was made by Judge Burton R. Shifman, Michigan social discrimination chairman of the League, in a letter to F. Ritter Shumway, president of the U.S. Figure Skating Association. Wendell Young, president of the Detroit Skating Club, denied the charge in phone conversation with The Jewish News. A statement by him was to have been delivered in writing, but when the paper went to press, it still had not arrived. Young said on the phone, "We are a private club and as such retain the right to choose our members. We have no policy of exclusion. All members are screened by the membership committee, and a decision is made in accordance with the recommendations of that committee." Judge Shifman called for "action" on the part of the national association, which would halt "undemocratic practices" of its Detroit affiliate. Judge Shifman said the League had received and verified many complaints against the Detroit Skating Club during the past two years and that club officials had freely admitted their discriminatory mem- bership policies at a meeting with ADL. He added that attempts to Persuade the leadership of the Detroit Skating Club to abandon discriminatory practices were unsuccessful. "Appeals to reason, morality and patriotism had no effect," Shif- man stated. "We are making this matter public only after prolonged Continued on Page 5 WASHINGTON, (JTA) — There is an agreement in force between Israel and the United States on the inspection of atomic installations in Israel which received American assistance, and this agreement is working to mutual satisfaction. Israel circles declared this in connection with reports on differences between the two countries on the question of international inspection of Israel's atomic installations. The existing agreement provides a system of controls and inspection by the United States, designed to ensure that the facilities are used exclusively for peaceful purposes. "There is no issue between Israel and the U.S.A. regarding the continued existence of this agreement," the sources pointed out. Any implication that Israel is "balking at atom chcecks" is misinformed, Israelis explained, stressing that Israel has no objection whatsoever to continued American inspec- tion of the facilities concerned. Moreover, Israel is not questioning the desirability of the International Atomic Energy Agency eventually extending its inspection, by agreement, to instances covered today by bilateral agreements. This principle, it was noted in Washington, has, however, been opposed at the International Atomic Energy Agency by Egypt and some other countries. There- fore it is still highly questionable whether international safeguards would not, in prac- tice, become purely unilateral in scope, applying to some countries but rejected by others. Israeli circles also pointed out that, before any country agrees to such a system practice, it clearly has the right to know how it will apply to her neighbors who have atomic installations. Moreover, it may be questioned whether the workings of the International Atomic Energy Agency are indeed those of an objective scientific organization or are injected with political interests. This requires careful study, in light of some recent discussions by the agency —such as establishing its Middle Eastern Isotopic Center in Cairo — which denies to Israel, a member country, access to facilities set up by the agency.

C.—King Hus- sein of Jordan came here for a two-day visit as guest of President Johnson, spouted hatred for Zionism and Israel, rhifix went on to New York to renew his - charges, and now, back in his kingdom :;that might have tottered a dozen times were it not for Israel's proximity as its -- protector against Nas- ser's aggressions, he can boast that he is as much anti-Zionist and anti-Israel as Nasser himself. Hussein, until a very short time ago the target of Nasser's threats, came here ap- parently to propagate the schemes concocted by 13 Arab rulers in Cairo to undermine Israel's existence. The excuse for their actions and now for Nasser's vituperative anti-Israel speeches here is the impend- ing Israeli irrigation plan with water to come from Lake Tiberias, There are Arab charges that Israel is about to divert the waters of the Jordan, yet Hussein's kingdom already has diverted from Israel's River Yarkun. Neverthe- less, the Arabs are utilizing the Israel water schemes for renewed attacks, and Hussein asserted here that the Eric Johnston proposals which were rejected by the Arabs can not be instituted. Un- der the Johnston plan, Israel and all her neighbors would have benefited froin an American-financed irrigation program, but that would have meant recognition of Israel by those who would share the beneficial watering system with her, and "fiat was not in Nasser's cards. But Husssein didn't come with that gripe alone. He also brought with him a demand for more military aid from the United States and with an implied threat: if you don't give it to me, Uncle Sam, I'll go to Nikita, Nevertheless, kindly and gracious 1 ,yndon Johnson was the good host. He joined in a statement, issued as Hussein was about to leave our nation's capital, reasserting "the strong desire of the United States for friendly relations with all Arab states, and its devotion to peace in the area." The statement said that the two leaders, President Johnson and King Hussein, "declared their firm de- termination to make every effort to in- crease the broad understanding that al- ready exists between Jordan and the United States, and agreed that His Maj- esty's visit advanced this objective." But the visit had another objective: the perpetuation of an established anti- Israel method of attack on Israel—by building up an image of a "Zionist vil- lain." Hussein wouldn't dare attack the Jews who are Israel's kinsmen, there- fore his venom was directed against Zion- ism—with a devilish attempt at mislead- ing public opinion by appealing to Jews to reject Zionism. It was his way of being anti-Jewish in a divide-and-mislead method of frightening uninformed Jews into be- coming anti-Zionist. But his earlier threat to the U.S.—your money or Khrushchev's —certainly revealed his evil intentions, and feels here are that Americans will hot fall for such nonsense. It took a Council for Judaism letter- writer to the New York Times to give assent to Hussein's philosophical distinc- tions between Jew and Zionist, thereby adding confusion to afflictions that are being piled up on Israel by its enemies. It is no wonder that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee found it necessary to denounce Hussein's scheme of injecting in his speeches innuendo that Jews outside Israel have double loyal- ties. This committee, headed by Rabbi Philip Bernstein, with I. L. Kenen as its executive director ,expressed resentment over Hussein's "abuse of hospitality of the United States whiie here as a guest of the President, to malign t1C>Zionist movement, to insult the great majority of the American Jewish community who strongly support Israel, to misrepresent the facts about Israel, and to distort the objectives of U. S. policy." It is not surprising that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee should have raised the question "as to the pur- poses for which Hussein asked additional aid" from this country. Not so long ago, Hussein was under threat of assassination. His kingdom long ago would have been appropriated by the United Arab Republic, and it is only Is- rael's watch over the Jordanian border that has given Hussein sovereignty and security. Now he has the added glory: he has proved to his Arab cohorts who seek Israel's destruction that, unlike his grandfather, Abdullah, who was a friend of Israel and who was assassinated for having aimed at a friendly pact with the Israelis, he can spout hatred for Israel and Zionism with as much venom as Nasser. In five weeks, June 1-2, Israel's Prime Minister Levi Eshkol will be President Johnson's guest at Blair House here. Then there will be renewed assertions of friend- ship and an aim for peace in the Middle East. But peace still is in the distance and frequent reverberations of problems re- lating to military controls are in no sense helpful to Israel. . Continued on Page 3
