Arab Nations Threatened by Nasser
Assured of Israel's Aid; State Dept.
Denies Egypt Forces Gain in Mid East
TEL AVIV (JTA)—" Any Arab
state menaced by Nasserist plot-
ting could rely on Israel for sup-
port in reaching peace and sta-
bility in the region," Prime Mini-
ster Levi Eshkol said at the open-
ing session of the national council
of Histadrut. Israel's Federation of
Labor.
The prime minister pledged
that "Israel would use all its re-
sources to unite all factors wishing
development for the benefit of the
entire population." He did not
specify the form of support Israel
would be ready to give to Arab
states menaced by Nasserite sub-
version activities; however, it was
indicated later that any Arab
country that responds would get
a clear answer.
Eshkol denounced the policy
of Egypt's President Gamal Ab-
del Nasser "of threats against
Israel and aggression against
other Arab s t at e s." These
threats, he said, force Israel to
follow a policy of "continued
alertness and readiness, as well
as maintenance of the deterrent
power, to foil any thought of ag-
gression."
At the same time Eshkol also
called . on foreign powers to pro-
vide aid to Egypt, emphasizing
Israel's interest in such said that
would increase the Egyptian stand-
ard of living but "not aid which
strengthens aggressors." Noting
that. in Egypt, Nasser has not
succeeded in raising the living
standards of the lower classes,
and that the gap there between the
poor and the rich has widened, he
stated: "The day will come when
our neighbors will recognize the
fact that peace will bring pros-
perity and development for all
living in this region."
The Histadrut council faces an
internal fight between the Herut
faction and the Mapai group, with
the latter controlling a 55 per cent
majority in the Council.
State Department Explains
Policy of U.S, Loans to Egypt
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — When
the United States makes loans
to Egypt, these are used as lever-
age to bring about a peaceful
solution of the Arab-Israel dispute,
Phillips Talbot, Assistant Secre-
tary of State for Near Eastern
Affairs, declared in answer to a
question in the House Foreign
Fertility Symbols
Affairs Committee. The statement
was made during the hearing on
the Administration's foreign aid
program.
Under questioning by Congress-
man Leonard Farbstein, New York
Democrat, Talbot defended con-
tinued American aid to Nasser de-
spite the Congressional amend-
ment against aid to countries en-
gaged in or preparing for aggres-
sion. Talbot denied that Egyptian
forces will very soon be superior
to Israel's, and added that "if there
were a transformation of the pre-
sent situation, then it goes without
saying that our policy would also
be re-examined."
(President Nasser of Egypt has
made a public vow "to God" that
he will not rest "until we redeem
Palestine to the Arab nation," it
was reported from Yemen. Speak-
ing at a rally in Liberation Square
of Sana, the Yemeni capital, he
charged that Britain had always
conspired against the Arabs and
against their dignity and honor,
adding that Britain had sur-
rendered Palestine to Israel and
Zionism.)
It is customary to throw nuts
and raisins at bride and bride-
groom.
Generally speaking, these have
been regarded as symbols of good
wishes for fertility so that bride
and bridegroom will be blessed
with many children. Nuts and rais-
ins are usually very plentiful.
Many use almonds which seem to•
reproduce very early in the sea-
son. The raisins are also symbolic
of the grapes from which wine is
made. This is a symbol of happi-
ness since "wine rejoices the
heart of men." Some consider the THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Friday, May 1, 1964
fact that the Hebrew word for 32
nut (egoz) has the same numerical
equivalent as the word for sin
and the word for good, indicating
that marriage can lead to either
good or sin, and that our hopes
are that this marriage will lead to
good which will overcome sin. It
is also claimed that nuts and rais-
ins are used because they can be
preserved a long time, and they
are thus symbolic of the wishes
of those assembled at the mar-
riage ceremony that the union
between bride and groom be a
long lasting one which will be
well preserved like the nuts and
raisins.
American Jewish Committee Opens
N. Y. Meeting; Survey Shows Most
States Comply with Prayer Decision
NEW YORK.
The American
Jewish Committee, opening its 57th
annual meeting in New York, made
public the results of a survey of
national reaction to the U.S. Su-
preme Court decisions on Bible
readings and recitation of the
Lord's Prayer in public schools. The
survey found "widespread compli-
ance" throughout the country de-
spite pockets of discontent which
exist in a number of regions.
At the same time, however, the
survey found "widespread introduc-
tion of substitute practices" for
those which had been banned by
the Supreme Court decision. Out-
right defiance of the Supreme
Court was found to be most com-
mon in the South, sections of the
rural North such as in New Hamp-
shire, and in northwestern areas
such as Idaho.

And for very good reasons. Hospitals can
ill-afford to have their life-saving facilities
out of operation for long. We don't want to
paint more often than we have to and when
we have to, we want it done as
quickly as possible. So, like most
hospitals in Detroit, we specify MERCURY
Mercury Paint because it goes on
fastest and lasts longest. It's always PAINTS
attractive, and that's important for
the morale of our patients. It's easy to
see why Mercury is the number one paint
in Detroit and in all the surrounding areas.
