Israel Snubbed Again in UN
as '77 Bloc' Head Refuses
to Recognize Envoy Comay

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA)—Israel con-
tinued to press for the right to full membership
in the largest United Nations bloc ever organized,
the "Group of 77" developing countries, after be-
ing denied that right again last Friday through
Arab and Moslem tactics which UN Secretarist
observers called privately "sheer hooliganism."
The group held a scheduled meeting after
Ambassador Syed Amjad Ali, of Pakistan, tem-
porary chairman of the group, had notified Israel
that only signatories to a declaration on develop-
ing countries would be admitted to the "private"
meeting.
That declaration was issued in Geneva last
June at the conclusion of a three-month United

Nations Conference on Trade and Development.
The Arab and Moslem states pushed that declara-
tion through without giving Israel an opportunity
to sign it.
As soon as Ambassador Ali opened the meet-
ing last Friday, he announced that countries
that did not sign the Geneva declaration last
June "cannot participate." Ambassador Michael
S. Camay, Israel permanent representative at
the UN, immediately sought to address the
chair on a point of order.
Arab representatives and their supporters im-
mediately started pounding their desks, staging an
11-minute noisy demonstration and drowning out
all efforts by Comay to speak.

Evidently showing extreme partisanship to the
opponents of Israel's participation, Ambassador
Ali sat silently and did not recognize Israel or rule
on Comay's point of order.
Ambassador Comay, openly accusing the chair-
man of an "attitude lacking a minimum of fair-
ness," said he would withdraw from the meeting
"under protest." He made it clear, however, that
he was withdrawing only from that particular ses-
sion and that he would continue to insist on
Israel's full right to membership in the group
when the bloc elects a new chairman.
Such an election had already been scheduled
by the group.

AF Restudies Complaints of Jewish Ililitary in Libya

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The U.S. Department of the Air Force made
known that it is reevaluating the situation of American military personnel
assigned to Wheelus Air Base, Libya, because of complaints made to mem-
bers of Congress pertaining to the anti-Jewish atmosphere in Libya.
If action for protection of American personnel is found necessary,
"appropriate arrangements will be made," said Col. Donald W. Paffel,
USAF, in a letter to Sen. Jacob K. Javits, New York Republican.
Col. Paffel said, however, that as a result of previous inquiries to
the local commander and reports through State Department channels "we
have not found any basis" for American Jewish personnel to feel insecure
among the Libyans.
He said "We have carefully watched the situation and in each instance
concluded that there was no immediate concern for the safety of our
personnel."

But on the question of censorship of pro-Jewish material and deletions
from broadcasts by the U.S. armed forces radio and television station at
Wheelus Air Base, Col. Paffel announced anew that "we have a self-im-
posed program of deleting items which are considered objectionable to
the country concerned."
Explaining the deletions, the colonel said that "in order to prevent
embarrassment to our government we must respect the views of our host
nations and avoid placing our own people in a position opposed by those
among whom they must live.
He conceded that "it is possible that confusion may exist on the sub-
jects of the state of Israel, Judaism, and those of the Jewish faith. The Air
Force is taking action that these restraints are not being , improperly-
applied," he said.

We Salute Our
Chief Executive

On the great Day of Decision, the American people has rendered
its' judgment the American way, with ballots : Lyndon Baines
Johnson is to remain in the White House as our Chief
Executive. We heartily acclaim the decision, and we join in
blessing our President and in praying that he be granted the
strength to continue his duties as the guide of our destinies
at home and in all matters affecting us abroad. May he be blessed
with the courage he already has displayed in pursuing his sacred
duties, and may his hands be strengthened in leading our people
to new heights of moral and diplomatic dignity.
