Army Outpost Becomes
Cooperative Village

White House Conference Urges Ratification of Genocide Pact

ALMAGOR—This frontier out-
poSt, established under Syrian
gunsights in 1961 by NAHAL, the
special combination of Army ser-
vice and farm training, recently
became a full-fledged moshav, co-
operative village. The young sol-
N— "diers who settled the place have
now completed their army service
ord, shedding their uniforms,
have chosen to live the life of co-
operative farmers.
At the celebration marking Al-
magor's new civilian status, a mes-
sage from Prime Minister Levi
Eshkol commended Almagor for
"making a landscape that has been
deserted for thousands of years
flourish." Men and women serving
in NAHAL have established over
40 agricultural settlements, mos-
havim and kibbutzim, in many of
the wasteland and border areas of
Israel. Almost 160 kibbutzim have
been strengthened by NAHAL
groups.

A number of committee mem-
bers criticized the final draft on
grounds that it claimed sweeping
achievements in human rights
in the United States but that
action has been lacking on
genocide ratification and in other
areas. It was stressed that the
United States must put its own
house in order before it can
lecture to other nations on
human rights matters.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — The
White House Conference on Inter-
national Cooperation issued a final
draft on human rights recommend-
ing that the United States ratify
the human rights conventions, in-
cluding the genocide pact, now
pending before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.
In an address before the confer-
ence, Ambassador Arthur Gold-
berg, U. S. chief delegate of the
United Nations, also indicated
agreement that the genocide
measure should be ratified by the
United States. The report of the
National Citizens' Commission on
Human Rights noted that "the
Genocide Convention has been rat-
ified by more than 60 nations" but
not by the United States. The Con-
vention was sent to the Senate
in 1949. Neither the Republican
nor Democratic Administrations
have pressed for action on it.
The final draft said: "It is in the
interest of the United States to
have the standards embodied in
the United Nations Convention on
Human Rights adopted by as many
countries around the world as pos-
sible. But it cannot exhort others
to ratify these conventions, if it is
not itself a party to them." A shift
in American attitude was de-
manded. "Should some other coun-
try violate the agreed standards,

ON THE OCEAN AT =13th ST.--MIAMI BEACH, FLA

Rabbi Solomon Sharfman of the
Synagogue Council of America, told
the committee that the American
people are not adequately informed
or aroused on human rights prob-
lems. He referred to the situation
of minorities in the Soviet Union
and said more must be done to
provide facts.
Citing ratification by many
European countries of human
rights agreements, the report said
that "despite close political, mili-
tary and economic links to Europe,
and a common tradition in the
field of human rights, the United
States has made no attempt to
participate in this highly-advanced
system of protection of funda-

mental freedoms or to extend it
to the whole Atlantic community."
The human rights committee
was under the chairmanship of
Prof. Louis B. Sohn of Harvard
University, and included, among
others, Jacob Blaustein, Jewish
leader and former U. S. delegate
to the UN General Assembly;
Rabbi Philip Hiat, director of the
Jewish Center for the United
Nations; and Sidney Liskofsky,
director of the UN division of
the American Jewish Committee.
Philip M. Klutznick, noted Jewish
leader, served as moderator of a
panel on technical cooperation and
investment held by the conference.
A number of other leading per-
sonages of Jewish faith took part
in various aspects of the four-day
gathering.
(In New York, Rabbi Jacob J.

Weinstein, president of the Central
Conference of American Rabbis,
denounced "the two faces of Amer-
ican policy" where on the one
hand our government sponsors a
White House Conference on Inter-
national Cooperation and on the

other hand continues the escala-
tion of the war in Vietnam. He
spoke at the 50th anniversary din-
ner of the Fellowship of Reconcilia-
tion, a religious pacifist group
founded in Garden City by a group
of clergymen.)

South Vietnam and the United
States should cooperate to al-
leviate suffering of homeless
children and separated families
in Vietnam, the committee on
social welfare of the National
Citizen's Commission on Inter-
national Cooperation urged at
the White House conference.

Mrs. Joseph Willen of New
York, president of the National
Council of Jewish Women, headed
the committee appointed by Presi-
dent Lyndon B. Johnson to submit
proposals for strengthening inter-
national social welfare services.
Joint U.S.-Vietnamese coopera-

tion would prevent many future relatives could be located. Emerg-
social problems, the committee ency child and family welfare
said. They explained that many of services, training and employing
the increasing number of child war Vietnamese specialists, could aid
victims now in orphanages could separated families, widowed moth-
be reunited with their families if ers and homeless children.
