UN Body OKs Study
of Bias on World Scale

UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —
The United Nations Subcommis-
sion on the Prevention of Discrimi-
nation and Protection of Minorities
authorized the conduct of a global
study of racial discriminations in
the political, economic, social and
cultural spheres.
The action was taken after long
debate, in which Jewish spokesmen
urged that such a study be "given
high priority." One of the Jewish
representatives sharply criticized
the Soviet Union for anti-Semitic
propaganda — without specifically
naming the USSR, due to a rule
banning such mention of member-
states of the U.N.
The 14-man body, a subsidiary
of the Human Rights Commission,
had discussed for a week the prop-
osal that such a study be author-
ized. Dr. Maurice L. Perlzweig,
representative of the World Jew-
ish Congress, sharply opposed the
dropping of the item from the
agenda, as suggested by some of
the experts on the subcommission.
He derided contentions that the
curbing of hate propaganda that
could lead to violence would im-
pinge on the principle of freedom
of speech. He insisted that such
a principle does not give hate ped-
dlers the right to incite to "racial
or religious hatred."
In regard to anti-Semitic incite-
ments in other countries, Dr. Korey
told the subcommission that inter-
national neo-Nazi groups publish
more than 50 periodicals, and is-
sue bulletins in a half-dozen lan-
guages. He named among such
organizations the European Social
Movement, the EuropPnri New
Order, the Movement for Social
Action, Young Europe, the North-
ern Ring and the World Union
of National Socialists.
The subcommission selected one
of its exnerts, Dr. Hernan Santa
Cruz of Chile, to outline the study
and to present his results next
year.

Bond Drive Parleyto Honor Mrs. Meir

Pearson Describes Israel Showdown
With Arabs, Believes Its Scientific
Strides May Be Greatest Defense

MIAMI — Mrs. Golda M e i r,
former Foreign Minister
of I s r a e 1, will be the guest
of honor at an international trib-
ute to her leadership in statecraft
and nation-building, which will
climax the 1966 inaugural confer-
ence for Israel Bonds here dur-
ing the weekend of Feb. 18, it was
announced by Samuel Rothberg,
national campaign chairman of Is-
rael Bonds.
The dinner in honor of Mrs. Meir
will be held Feb. 20 at the Fon-
tainebleau Hotel.

By DREW PEARSON
JERUSALEM—With Israel com-
pletely surrounded by Arab states
and with a huge quantity of Soviet
arms piling up in nearby Egypt,
the big question
is whether the
Israeli army, fig-
uring an Arab
attack is inevit-
able, will repeat
the Suez adven-
ture of 1956 and
attack first.
If this is plan-
ned by Israeli
leaders, no one
is admitting it.
Pearson

However, I discussed Israeli de-
fenses with several authorities, in-
cluding the army chief of staff,
Maj. Gen. Isaac Rabin, who said
that modern weapons had made
Israel's defense even more diffi-
cult than nine years ago. Showing
me a map of •the Near East, he
pointed to Israel's 610 miles of
border, its population of 2,500,000
against 50,000,000 Arabs, and the
fact that in one spot Israel's east-
ern border is only seven miles
from the sea. Bombers from near-
by Jordan, therefore, could reach
Tel Aviv in four and a half min-
utes.
Cairo has been brought so close
to Tel Aviv by supersonic jets
that it would take only 9 min-
utes for a bomber to fly from
Cairo to the No. 1 city of Israel,
and only four minutes from the
border of Egypt to Tel Aviv.
Thus there is an enormous ad-
vantage to the nation which takes
the initiative in war. There is also
a tremendous strain on the nation
which may be the object of an at-
tack. It must keep constantly on
the alert.
Gen. Rabin said that Israel, with
a restricted budget, could not keep
a huge standing army, so depended
on a well-trained, well-armed re-
serve ready to be called up with-
in 48 hours. Every young man and
woman in Israel must serve for
two years, then spend one month
each year in military training.

—Girl Soldiers—
"Women make very good sol-
diers," he said, "and in only two
cases are they exempt from duty
—marriage and motherhood."
Later I watched some of these
girl soldiers training in the dust
of the desert south of the Dead
Sea. If they faced an army of
American GI's, I suspect that the
latter would be more inclined to
surrender to their charms than
their belligerency. Not being an
expert, however, I will not argue
with Gen. Rabin.
I also watched tank maneuvers
in the desert near Beersheba
where reservists were taking their
four-week annual refresher course.
One soldier, a 35-year-old mechan-
ical engineer, had trained every
year as a tank gunner for 14 years
in addition to his regular two years
in the army. He had none of the
advantages of Air Force Reserve
Unit 9999 on Capitol Hill which
takes reserve officer Congressmen
on cushy junkets around the world
in lieu of annual training.
Israeli reserve units, in contrast,
are tough, well-trained, and ready
for instant- combat.
No matter haw well-trained,
however, they may not be able
to stand up against much larger
Arab forces, equipped with the
most modern weapons.
Despite this, ex-Prime Minis-
ter David Ben-Gurion, now out
of office, remained optimistic.
"In the Sinai campaign," he re-
marked, "the Egyptian officers
were not good. They ran away.
Only two commanders stayed
and fought, and they were Su-
danese."
In the long run, however, Is-
rael's chief defense against mod-
ern Arab armament may be sci-
entific research and nuclear weap-
ons. Israel is far ahead of its
neighbors in science. The Weiz
mann Institute has already devel-
oped a computer faster than IBM's.
The rooftops of new houses are
dotted with hot water tanks,
hooked up with the most modern
device for harnessing the rays of
the sun to supply hot water for
both kitchen and central heating.
Israel's scientific progress is the
reason it ranks next to the United
States as a target for communist
epionage, with two Israeli scient-
ists caught in the espionage net.
One was Ben-Gurion's military
adviser, Israel Beer, who was sen-
tenced to ten years for giving sec-
rets to the Russians after he had
acquired a mistress. The other was
Prof. Kurt Sitte of Haifa Techni-
cal Institute, who while working
on cosmic rays, not only for Israel
but for the U.S. Air Force, gave
information to the communists.
He too had acquired a mistress.
He was given nine years, but after
serving only two, was permitted
to go to East Germany with the
lady, Judith Anon. She has now
disappeared.
—Israeli A-Bomb?—
Israel has two atomic reactors,
one outside Tel Aviv, the other,
more secret, in the middle of the
desert below Beersheba. I went
through the former, in company
with the chairman of Israel's
Atomic Energy Commission, Dr.
Ernst David Bergman, a most en-
gaging gentleman, who, like many
scientists, is fearful that mankind
has unleashed a weapon which may
prove his undoing.
Dr. Bergman recently attended
a meeting of atomic scientists in
Switzerland where opinion was al-
most unanimous that the spread
of atomic weapons should be stop-
ped; but equally unanimous that
it would be almost impossible to
stop the spread—once China per-
fected its bomb.
"It is no great problem for a
small country to make an atomic

bomb," Dr. Bergman said. "The
chief problem is expense. Once
you have the secret of a peace-
time reactor it is not too difficult
to build nuclear weapons. The
principle is just the same."
What with modern Arab arma-
ment increasing, and with Col.
Nasser in Cairo using ex-Nazi sci-
entists to build rockets and mis-
siles, it may well be that higher
Israeli authorities will rule that
nuclear weapons are necessary.
To get an answer on this very
important point I went to the new
foreign minister, Abba Eban, long
ambassador in Washington. He in-
formed me that Israel was not
working on the bomb.
However, in London, the Office
of Strategic Studies predicts that
Israel will be able to produce a
plutonium bomb by 1968 and will
make two plutonium bombs every
year thereafter.

(A Bell-McClure Syndicate Feature)

The conference will mark the
15th anniversary of the founding of
the Israel Bond Organization, in
which Mrs. Meir played a major
role together with the late Eliezer
Kaplan, Israel's first Finance Min-
ister, and former Minister David
Ben-Gurion.

The longest life is insufficient
for the fulfilment of man's desires.
