U Thant's Interve ntion Requested for Jews Suffering in Arab Lands NEW YORK (JTA) — Charges that the governments of Egypt, Syria and Iraq are violating rights of Jews living in those countries were presented to United Nations Secretary-General U Thant Mon- day on behalf of the International League for the Rights of Man. The charges were contained in a mem- orandum submitted by Roger N. Baldwin, honorary chairman, who contends that the three Arab states are acting contrary to "the spirit as well as the letter of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights." Baldwin asked Thant to treat the memorandum as "a communica- tion on human rights" under pro- visions of the UN Economic and Social Council and urged him to intervene with the governments to alleviate sufferings of the Jewish minorities. The charges are based on reports that Baldwin terms "re- liable." They say that in Egypt, between 225 and 250 Jewish men have been imprisoned since the June 1967 Arab-Israel war without permission to contact relatives or counsel and have been subjected to abuses that include torture. Most of the 1,000-2,000 Jews re- maining in Egypt have been de- prived of their jobs, and their as- sets have been confiscated, and since last September the policy of permitting Jews with necessary funds to leave the country has ap- parently been stopped, the memo- randum said. In Syria, "repressive measures continue against the 4,000 remain- ing Jews. They are forbidden to move outside 1.5 miles of their homes without special permission, they may not sell or dispose of property and they may not emi- grate," Baldwin said. In Ir aq randum, Jewish homes are under surveillance by security police, Jews are forbidden to dispose of property without permission, li- censes issued to them have been canceled and they are restricted in collecting debts owed them. In addition, the memorandum charged, all companies have been ordered to discharge their Jcwish employes. About 25 of 100 Jews ar- rested immediately after the June, 1967 war remain in prison despite a general amnesty for political prisoners and despite the fact that no charges have been brought against them. "They are not per- mitted to have visitors or counsel or to receive food and clothing. Some were beaten and tortured," the memorandum said. * 4, Israel and Soviet Trade Charges on Rights Violations Max Schrut For Good Photographs and Prompt Service Call Me at BLAIR STUDIO UNITED NATIONS (JTA)—Is- rael exchanged allegations about violations of human rights with the Soviet Union and representatives of Arab countries.

Mrs. Tamar Eshel of Israel ex- pressed "dismay and sorrow" that the Soviet Union, "whose consti- tution safeguards the rights of all peoples and minorities, has been consistently discriminating against the Jewish minority ... numbering more than 3,000,000 people." She drew the committee's atten- tion to "the systematic campaign of propaganda, pursued by the of- ficial mass media in the Soviet Un- ion, Poland and East Germany against Jews." The Israeli repre- sentative also spoke of the "plight of the Jewish minorities in certain Arab countries in the Middle East" The committee was presented by Sweden with a 34-power draft res- olution on the International Confer- ence on Human Rights held in Te- heran, Iran, last spring. It would have the General Assembly take action on "full implementation of human rights." While praising the Teheran conference for making an "im- portant constructive contribution to the cause of human rights," Mrs. Eshel told the committee that the Israeli delegation "found itself the target of a political propaganda offensive tath dis- rupted the proceedings, created dissension and led to the adop- tion of a one-sided political reso- lution." E. N. Nasinovsky of the Soviet Union termed Mrs. Eshel's re- marks "slanderous insinuations" and said that the Soviet Union pro- vided "equal rights for every na- tionality," adding that Israel had violated human rights in the Arab territories occupied during the June 1967 war. His position was supported by George J. Tomeh of Syria who de- nied there was "political propa- ganda" at Teheran regarding Arab rights in those territories. Tomeh accused Israel of raising a smoke- screen to hide humanitarian reso- lutions adopted at the UN since the Six-Day War. He cited a report by Secretary General U Thant which he said made it "absolutely clear" that Israel refused to agree to a Secu- rity Council request to Thant to send a "humanitarian" envoy to the occupied territories to study the condition of Arabs in them. Mrs. Eshel praised Czechoslo- vakia for not being drawn into anti- Semitic practices and criticized the "rehabilitation of the notorious anti-Semite Trofim Kichko whose book 'Judaism Without Embellish- ment' was published in 1963 by the Ukranian Academy of Sciences in Kiev." In London, demands that Jews in Arab countries be accorded their basic human rights or be permitted to leave were made at a pro- test meeting on the plight of the Jews in those lands. The meeting was organized by the British sec- tion of the World Jewish Congress, Poale Zion and the Association of Jewish Journalists. Itzhak Korn, general secretary 25 Settlements, Populace of 12,000 on Golan by '73? JERUSALEM (JTA)—A Jewish Agency official said Sunday that the Golan Heights, which is in oc- cupied Syrian territory, will have about 25 Israeli settlements and a population of about 12,000 by 1973, based on a development plan drawn up by the agency's settlement de- partment. There are presently 10 settle- ments on the heights. The forecast was made by Meir Shamir, director of the settlement department's Gal- ilee and Golan region. Before the Six-Day War, the Syr- ians used the heights for artillery attacks on Israeli settlements in the northern Jordan River Valley near the Sea of Galilee. THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS Friday, December 6, 1968-39 of the international Labor Zionist movement, told the gathering that Israel acted on its moral obliga- tion when it urged the United Na- tions to conduct a humanitarian in- vestigation of Jews in the Arab countries. He said the Ari.b gov- ernments did not confine them- selves to persecution of their own Jewish citizens but in recent years had embarked on a massive prop- aganda campaign against all Jews. The hate campaign is fed to their populations by newspapers, radio and television, he said. Another speaker, Itzhak Nathani, chairman of the British Mapam Party, said that while everyone must protest emphatically against the inhuman treatment of Jews in Arab co u n t r i e s, Jewry should acknowledge the stand taken by President Habib Bourguiba of Tunisia who not only ended anti- Semitic excesses in his country but urged the Arabs to find a new ap- proach in their relations with Israel and the Jews. Nathani also praised the Italian government for its intervention on behalf of persecuted Jews and aid to them.
