Nasser Maintains
USSR Committed
Against Zionism
WASHINGTON ( J T A )—Presi-
dent Nasser of Egypt praised what
he called the Soviet Union's fight
against colonialism and Zionism,
according to a Moscow dispatch.
The Egyptian leader made this
remark in a message to Soviet
Premier Alexei Kosygin, thanking
Kosygin for good wishes which the
Russians cabled the Arab summit
conference at Casablanca. Nasser's
statement, as reported by Tass,
said "The success of the confer-
ence will of course strengthen the
unity of the Arab nations and the
peoples of Africa and Asia who,
together with the Soviet people, are
fighting against colonialism and
Zionism."
Another dispatch, from Beirut,
reported that Ahmed Shukairy,
head of the Palestine (Arab) Lib-
eration Organization, has tendered
his resignation because Arab states
are unwilling to go far enough in
aiding his group to wage hostilities
against Israel.
The Beirut report said Shukairy,
most militant Arab agitator, re-
signed because of a dispute with
the Jordanian government on the
military training of Palestinian
Arabs. The resignation was ten-
dered at the Arab League summit
conference at Casablanca, but Arab
rulers rejected it. Shukairy is still
insistent on resigning and has call-
ed for an emergency meeting of
the executive committee in Cairo
to examine the matter.
The "Liberation" group was
formed in May 1964, to organize
and train Palestine refugees for
the "liberation of the homeland."
Star of David Is Erased
From Monument to Martyrs
LONDON (JTA) — A Yiddish
inscription on a monument to Jew-
ish martyrs buried in a mass grave
at Paner, near Vilna, Lithuania,
in the USSR, has disappeared, it
was reported from the Lithuanian
capital. The report said that the
monument now bears only the
legend in Lithuanian and Russian:
"To the Victims of Fascist Terror."
Also gone from the monument, ac-
cording to the report, is a Star
of David which has been replaced
at the top of the monument with
the Red Star.
An idle brain is the devil's work-
shop.

Eisenhower Tells
of Penalization of
Israel Eyed in '57
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Former
President Eisenhower has revealed
in his new book, "The White House
Years: Waging Peace 1956'4961,"
that, in order to pressure Israel
into withdrawal from the Sinai in
1957, he prefer-
red "a resolution
which would call
on all United Na-
tions members to
suspend not just
governmental but
private assistance
to Israel."
Mr. Eisenhower
said "such a
move would be
no hollow ges-
ture. As we discussed it, George
Humphrey, then Secretary of the
Treasury, put in a call to W. Ran-
dolph Burgess, Under Secretary of
the Treasury for monetary affairs,
who gave a rough estimate that
American private gifts to Israel
were about $40,000,000 a year and
sales of Israel bonds in our coun-
try between $50,000,000 and $60,-
000,000 a year. His information
was in part based on Treasury
figures on income tax deductions."
Eisenhower revealed that Sec-
retary of State John Foster Dulles
"strongly expressed the view that
we had gone as far as possible to
try to make it easier for the
Israelis to withdraw. To go further,
he said, would surely jeopardize
the entire Western influence in the
Middle East, • and the nations of
that region would conclude that
United States policy toward the
area was, in the last analysis, con-
trolled by Jewish influence in the
United States. In such event, the
only hope of the Arab countries
would be found in a firm associa-
tion with the Soviet Union."
A charge was made by the for-
mer President that Congressional
leaders who met with him on the
Israeli withdrawal issue were moti-
vated by "politics." He recalled
that both Lyndon B. Johnson, then
Senate majority leader, and Wil-
liam F. Knowles, then minority
leader, argued that, in "cracking
down" on Israel we are using a
double standard — following one
policy for the strong and one for
the weak." They contrasted the Ad-
ministration's pressure on Israel
with its failure to act strongly on
Hungary.
(When President Eisenhower
communicated his plan for sanc-
tions against Israel to Senate lead-
ers, the then Sen. Johnson called
on Eisenhower and bluntly inform-
ed him that the Senate would not
approve economic sanctions against
Israel. The outspoken Texan told
the Eisenhower Administration
that threats to impose sanctions
on Israel were unwise and unfair,
and that he was against "pressure
on one side in a two-sided dis-
pute." Deploring the attempted
"coercion" of Israel as a "method
of settlement," Johnson told the
Eisenhower Administration it had
lost sight of the basic facts in the
Israel-Arab dispute.)
A White House staff member
termed the meeting with the Con-
g r e s s i oval leaders "a can of
worms," Eisenhower said. He "re-
flected on the pettiness" of those
reluctant to sanction Israel. He
found it "somewhat disheartening
that partisan considerations could
enter." The "question of princi-
ple" in . Eisenhower's thinking was:
"Should a nation which attacks
and occupies foreign territory in
the face of United Nations disap-
proval be allowed to impose con-
' ditions on its own withdrawal?"
