Arab Forces Hamper Senate Hearings on USSR Measures

(Continued from Page 1)
the "Continuing Committee on
Moslem - Christian Cooperation,"
said the Ribicoff resolution might
be "misunderstood in certain parts
of the world" because it pertained
only to the plight of one religious
group. He said that a Christian
sect was recently deported to Si-
beria and that millions of Moslems
suffered "hardship and persecu-
tion" in the USSR. He said he
did not know of any group that
"suffered as much as the Mos-
lems" in the USSR. He hinted that
millions of Soviet Moslems had
"disappeared."
Hopkins said that a resolution
adopted by the Senate in 1953
condemning persecution by the
USSR of all minorities, religi-
ous and racial, originally started
as a move concerned only with
the Jews. He said that the
Senate then saw the wisdom of
broadening it and should again
do so. He urged the committee
to strike out the following word-
ing from the Ribicoff resolution:
"The Soviet Union is persucu-
ting Jewish citizens by singling
them out for extreme pimishment
for alleged economic offenses, by
confiscating synagogues, by closing
Jewish cemeteries, by arresting
rabbis and lay religious leaders,
by curtailing religious observ-
ances, by discriminating against
Jews in cultural activities and ac-
cess to higher education, by im-
posing restrictions that prevent
the reuniting of Jews with their
families in other lands, and by
other acts that oppress. Jews in
the free exercise of their faith."
Observers voiced belief that
Hopkins' pro-Arab group especi-
ally wanted to eliminate the
reference to the reuniting of
Jews with their families in other
lands because of opposition to
further Jewish immigration to
Israel.
The alternative language pro-
posed by Mr. Hopkins, and ap-
parently favored by Sen. Hicken-
looper, would state: "The Soviet
Union is persecuting, in varying
degrees of intensity, elements of
its Christian. Moslem and Jewish
citizens by singling them out for
extreme punishment for alleged
economic offenses: by confiscating
churches, synagogues and mosques;
by closing cemeteries, by arrest-
services,
b by curtailing
ing religious
ing
leaders,
y discrimina-
ting against them in cultural activ-
ities and access to higher educa-
tion, and by other acts that op-

press them in the free exercise of
their faith." He would also elimi-
nate the word "Jews" from the
enacting clause of the resolution.
Previous to the Hopkins testi-
mony, Sen. Abraham Ribicoff,
Connecticut Democrat, had
urged the Senate to speak out,
through his resolution, against
Soviet anti-Semitism. He testi-
fied on behalf of 24 Jewish or-
ganizations. Asking adoption of
Senate Resolution 204, the reso-
lution he introduced in the Sen-
ate last September, Sen. Ribicoff
said the persecution of Jews had
intensified. He recalled the fail-
ure to act early enough against
Nazi anti-Semitism and felt that
specific action might now stein
the Soviet drive against Jews.
Sixty-three other Senators joined
with Sen. Ribicoff to co-sponsor
the resolution. He said "they feel
that the time has come for the
U.S. Senate — speaking for the
American people — to take an
official stand on the Soviet Gov-
ernment's systematic policy of at-
trition against the 3,000,000 Jewish
citizens of the USSR." The Soviet

anti-Jewish policy, he said, aims
"to shatter, pulverize and gradu-
ally eliminate Jewish historical
consciousness and Jewish iden-
tity."
He enumerated in detail the de-
privation of cultural and religious
rights, the anti-Jewish propaganda
abuses, the scapegoating of Jews,
discrimination in education and
employment, and refusal of the
right to emigrate to rejoin their
families.
Senator Jacob K. Javits, New
York Republican, testified in sup-
port of the Ribicoff sesolution. He
cautioned that early protests
against Nazi anti-Semitism were
"inadequate" and emphasized that
the resolution was essential to
focus world public opinion on the
growing plight of Soviet Jewry.
Testimony favoring the resolution
was submitted in writing by Sen.
T h o in a s J. Dodd, Connecticut
Democrat, and Sen. Hugh Scott,
Pennsylvania Republican. Material
from the Bnai Brith International
Council and the American Jewish
Committee was made part of the
record.

116,000 Bail for Abraham Feinberg

TEL AVIV (JTA) — Abraham
Feinberg, former manager of the
Supersol supermarket chain in
Israel who confessed to setting fire
to the Supersol office here, was
released on bail of 350,000 Israeli
pounds ($116,666), a bail figure un-
paralleled in the country's legal
history.
Police reported that Feinberg, a
native of Detroit, admitted that he
arranged the fire in. order to des-
troy the company's records which
would show that he had been mak-
ing f a l s e entries in the firm's
books. Police experts are now ear- .
rying out a complete investigation
to ascertain the extent of fraud in
the case.

states to set up a Palestinian
"personality" by means of a "Na-
tional Congress," have dismally
failed, the article declares, adding
that most Arab states and organ-
izations only paid lip service to
the idea but failed to support it.
Arab plans to use methods of
coercion against the states which
maintan friendly relations with
Israel also seem doomed to com-
plete failure, the review stressed.
"How can the Arabs decide who
is a friend and who is not?" the
article asks. It noted that to act
on the basis of recognition would
mean halting their own friendly
relations with the Soviet Union
while to decide on the basis of eco-
nomic help would mean breaking
off relations with West Germany,
one of the Arabs' best sources of
supply.
The article concludes by predict-
ing that the Arab chiefs of state
are due for an extensive "soul
searching" during their forthcom-
ing conference to be held in Alex-
andria.

srael Re:fects Syrta n, Charges

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. —
Syrian charges to the effect that
Israel had carried out "a premedi-
tated" attack against Syria last
week are "obviously preposter-
ous." Israel informed the United
Nations Security Council Tuesday.
Syria had made its charges in a
letter to the Security Council last
week, claiming that an Israeli
platoon "supported by automatic
weapons" had attacked Syrian
posts on Aug. 6.
Outlining "the true facts," Dr.
Joel Barromi, Israel's acting per-
manent representative here, told
the council that, in fact, a routine
Israeli border patrol, consisting of
only six men carrying nothing
but small personal weapons, had
crossed the Syrian frontier in-
advertently. He stressed the fact
that the border at that point is
not marked, due to Syria's refusal
to mark it there. Far from making
a secret of the accidental crossing,
Dr. Barromi stated, Israel had
announced it on the government
radio.

Syrian Guns Fire Shells
on Israeli Field Workers
TEL AVIV (JTA)—For the sec-
ond successive day, Syrian guns
Tuesday fired shells against Israeli
tractors working in Israeli fields
near the settlement of Haon, on
the shore of Lake Tiberias.
Two attacks were carried out by
the Syrians, directing the ammuni-
tion from automatic weapons into
the same field where two attacks
took place yesterday morning. A
spokesman for the Israeli Army

THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS

said there were no Israeli casual-
ties in any of the four attacks, and
declared that Israel did not return
the Syrian fire.
Israel made another complaint
about these attacks to the United
Nations Syrian-Israel Mixed Armis-
tice Commission. The complaint
against yesterday's attacks had
been lodged earlier.

False witnesses are held in
contempt even by their hirers.

Anti-Israel Arab Diplomacy
Viewed as Failure in France

PARIS (JTA)—The failure of
the Arab states in their attempts
in recent months to oppose Israel
on the diplomatic and political
fronts was emphasized here in an
article in the authoritative French
publication "Le Monde Diplo-
matique" which reviewed Arab
activities in this field.
The article cited the refusal by
delegates to the recent African
conference to pass an anti-Israel
resolution in spite of tireless ef-
forts by Egyptian President Nas-
ser, Algerian President Ben-Bella
and Tunisian President Bourg-
uiba.
Another step inspired by the
same three leaders, the artticle
noted, has brought results com-
pletely contrary to those aimed at,

nounced that he had withdrawn

dian supermarkets, will be asked
to come to Israel to testify in the
