Soviet Aide's Charges in U.N.
Called 'Stale Russian Borsht'

UNITED NATIONS (JTA) —
Israel rejected as "stale Russian
borsht" a series of charges by the
Soviet representative in the United
Nations Human Rights Commission
against Israel, including "inhuman
treatment" of Arab population in
the occupied areas; abandonment
of "hundreds of thousands" of per-
sons in the Sinai desert, resulting
in "great loss of life;" the alleged
bombardment of refugee camps
and eviction of Arab civilians from
their homes.
Platin D. Morozov, the Soviet
delegate, used most of his hour-
long diatribe Feb. 20 in denouncing
Israel and "the ruling circles in
Tel Aviv." lie asked the commis-
sion to condemn the alleged Israeli
violation of human rights and the
"flouting" of the Universal Declar-
ation of Human Rights. - -
Ambassador Shabtai Rosenne. the
Israeli representative, exercised
his right of reply and declared that
the Soviet concern for human
rights might have carried more
weight if the Soviet Union had
voted for the Universal Declara-
tion. Ile denied that any recognized
right of Arabs in Israel-held ter-
ritory had been deliberately vio-

lated.

He

said "people left to their

death in the desert" were soldiers,
part of an "aggressive force" built
up in the area by Egypt and "aban-
doned to their fate by their offi-
cers" in the June war. He said that
while Israel had not been bound to
help the stranded troops, Israeli
authorities had arranged for their
succor and helped them to return
to Egypt.

Ambassador Rosenne was the
target of a personal attack by Soli-
man Ahmed Huzayyin, Egypt's
representative, who called the
Israeli envoy a "liar" in connection
with a previous Rosenne statement
to the commission.
The commission was discussing
an agenda item on situations
- which reveal a consistent pattern
of violations of human rights"
when the Egyptain delegate took
the floor. Citing both Vietnam and
the Middle East, Huzayyin said the
Zionists were carrying out "a sec-
ond form of crusades," that Israel
was "ousting people to get the
land" and violating the 1 94 9
Geneva convention on protection of
civilians during wartime.
On his right of reply Dr. Rosenne
said that if the commission had
dmided to study the effects of war
on human rights, it should recall
that - the long war against Israel"
was not the only one in the Middle
East and that Egypt "would pro-
vide an excellent subject" in its
intervention in the Yemen war on
that topic.
Replying to charges against
Israel in the Gaza Strip occupation,
he said such security measures as
curfews, screening of suspects and
banishment "but not to some for-
lorn concentration camp in the
middle of a desert" had been "no
more than necessary" to protect
the majority of law-abiding citizens
and the Israeli forces "in accord-

tration in Gaza and in Sinai is more Night, the envoy noted that in the pitfalls and warned that "before

Speaking for the United States,
Morris B. Abram denied charges
by Morozov against his country and
challenged the Soviet right to
speak of human rights in other
countries. He noted that the Soviet
Union did not observe provisions of
the Declaration of Human Rights
giving all persons the right to leave
and return to their country at will,
and that the Soviet Union did not
observe the declaration's provisions
for freedom of religion.

British Foreign Secretary
Repeats Govt. Insistence
on Free Passage in Suez

(Direct JTA Teletype Wire
to The Jewish News)

LONDON — Foreign Secretary
George Brown declared in the
House of Commons Tuesday that
ni Britain's view, "Any settlement
of the problem of the Middle East
must include respect for the right
of free and innocent passage
through international waterways
of ships of all nations." He added
that Britain's view had been re-
peatedly made clear and was em-
bodied in the UN Security Coun-
cil's Middle East resolution of
Nov. 22, 1967.
Brown made his remarks in re-
ply to a question from Labor MP
Stanley- Henig. Henig also wanted
to know if Britain had advised the
United Arab Republic that any
pressure exerted on Israel for a
quick agreement that would per-
mit the reopening of the Suez
Canal was contingent on a conces-
sion by the UAR to allow Israeli
shipping to use that waterway.
Brown replied that the question
of what concessions were to be
made and by whom at any stage of
a settlement of the Middle East

problem was best left to the United
Nations' special representative to
Middle East in his negotiations

with the parties concerned.
In reply to a question from Con-
servative MP Neil Martin, Brown
said he was continuing to do all
that he could to effect the release
of 14 merchant ships that have
been stranded in the Suez Canal

since it was closed last June. He
denied that the freeing of the ves-
sels was contingent on a loan be-
1 ing negotiated by Egypt. "There
is no such thing as a loan in that
sense," he said.

HOW CAN
YOU SAVE
MONEY?

The simple way—a small amount every week. Here at Guardian we have
found that the easiest, most practical way to save is to save a small
amount every week. We have a great many savers who save $2.00, $3.00
or $5.00 every week, and you'd be surprised how it mounts up.
You don't have to be bashful about opening an account with a small
amount and adding a small amount to it. Here at Guardian we welcome

such accounts. Most of our savers put away a little at a time and we're

happy to note their progress.

There are very few people who can save large amounts at any one
time, and many of them started off with just a little bit saved regularly.
It's surprising how many fortunes began with just a penny bank.
You'll find that it's remarkable what a little ready cash can do. Later in
this series we will show you how the money you can save can earn you
as much as 18% per year.
If you have any questions about saving and use of your money, we
