BOSTON—Information ministers
from 13 Arab countries held a two-
day meeting in Bizerte, Tunisia,
at which they agreed on a new
approach to present a more effec-
tive propaganda image of the Arab
to the world, according to a report
published Tuesday in the Christian
Science Monitor.
The plan calls for dropping what
Tunisia sources call vain and
empty polemics" against Israel
and between Arab governments,
John K. Cooley, Monitor staff cor-
respondent, wrote from Bizerte.
The new Arab information plan.
not yet published, is understood
to recommend much heavier use
or modern mass communications
and commercial public-relations
media than, Arab governments
have made in the past.
Its philosophy, a spokesman for
the Tunisian ministry of informa-
tion Old the Monitor, was "to tell
the Arabs the plain truth about
the would and to tell the world the
truth abort the Arabs."

Tuesday that that state's constitu-
tion should contain a specific pro-
hibition against the spending of
public funds for private and paro-

He warned that if this prohibi-
tion were not included, "the public
officials responsible for the divi.
sion of such funds will be sub-
jected to increasing pressure from
religious groups, and these will
exert every effort to elect to those
offices members of their faith on
whom they can rely for generous

Gift to Emory U. to Help
Endow Chair of Judaics
ATLANTA (JTA)—Emory Uni-
versity, which announced recently
that it would establish a chair of
Judaic studies in its department
of religion, has received a gift of
9150,000 toward support of that
chair. The contribution was made
by Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Caen, of
this city, in memory of their son,
Jay Cohen; a law graduate of
Emory Law School, and the latter's
wife. Jay and his wife, Leslie,
perished in a disastrous hotel fire
in Jacksonville, Fla., in 1963.
Tunisian President Habib Bour-
guiba entertained the informa-
tion ministers at a luncheon at
hi - palace in Cartage and told
them a major reason for the
Arab defeat in the war with
Israel was "bad use of Arab
information media." He added:
"It is not enongh to have the
right on your side; you have to
know how to defend this right."
Moroccan, Tunisian and Jordan-
inn delegates strongly criticized
oast propaganda activities of
Ahmed Shukairy, chief of the ex-
t*.emist Palestine Liberation Orga-
nization.
"Mr. Shukairy's inflammatory
nonsense about killing Jews and
pushing Israel into the sea has
been Israel's best propaganda
arm against us," said one dele-
gate.
Action, the organ of Tunisia's
ruling Socialist Destourian Party,
contrasted the worldwide image
•
of the typical Israeli as an attrac-
tive young kibutz pioneer, "radi-
ating simplicity and vigor," with
that of the Arab as "a turbaned
feudalist with an ugly and ag-
gressive face, ready to liquidate
his own brother and destroy his
own neighbor."
Through superior propaganda,
the newspaper continued, Israel
has also 'succeeded in creating
among ordinary people everywhere
"the picture of a tiny state seeking

The Merchant King
Talbotton, Georgia-1862.
The Civil' War was on. Isidor Straus,
17-year-old son of an education-minded
store owner, was sent off to college. Ex-
actly two weeks later, young Isidor was
back home—with $1,200 earned from sell-
ing grain delivery contracts. The imag-
inative and brilliantly successf ul business
career of Isidor Straus had begun.
Thus it was that the year 1864 saw a
19-year-dld boy engaged in vital assign-
ments for an English firm running ships
through the Union Blockade. From New
York to Halifax, to Cuba,to Cologne young
Isidor carried out important trade mis-
sions. By the end of the Civil War, and in
spite of an unfortunate stock investment,
Isidor had amassed $12,000 in gold.
Ten years later, Isidor, his father, Laz-
arus, and his brother, Nathan, were in
partnership selling glassware and china
in New York. They had arranged with a
man named Roland Macy to lease space
in the basement of his store. By 1896,
Isidor and his brother were the sole part-
ners of R. II. Macy & Company. Today;
thanks largely to the enterprise and in-
tegrity of Isidor Straus, Macy's is—as its
slogan proudly reminds customers every-
where—the World's Largest Store.
Isidor's talents and accomplishments,
however, were not confined to his store.
He was active in politics and deeply in-
volved in public service. In 1892 he was
elected to Congress. His concern for his
fellow man showed clearly in the respon-
sibilities he accepted ; Vice President of
J. Hood Wright Memorial Hospital;
Trustee of the Montefiore Home for
Chronic Invalids; founder of the Amer;
lean Jewish Committee.
In 1893 Isidor Straus helped organize i
the Educational Alliance, the famous
East Broadway institution founded to
aid the Americanization of Jewish int.;
migrants. In fact, he was its forceful and
inspiring president from the day it was
founded until the day in 1912, when he
stood with Ida, his wife, on the disapl
peering deck of the SS Titanic.
