Rabbi Wolsey Urges
Dissolution of Council
For Judaism

PHILADELPHIA, (JTA) = DR..
Louis Wolsey, one of the founders
of the American Council for Ju-
daism, this week called upon the
Council to dissolve itself since the
Zionist movement, which tn e
Council opposes, has discharged
it's function as a nationalist move
ment and has attained it's pur-
pose," now that Israel has been
proclaimed.
Addressing the members of his
congregation, Temple Rodeph Sha-
lom, DR.. Wolsey said: II believe
we should support the present re-
atty of a land of Israel, with all
our strength. AS the founder of
the American Council for Judaism,
I call upon this organization to dis
solve itself, and acknowledge what
Mr.. Austin called the realities,
and cease attacking movement
which in spite of all its mistakes,
give our harried people the only
possibility of decency, freedom and
dignity"

Christian teaching is growing in
the public school and it is not al
ways the type Of Christianity
which is liberal or humane, but
rather the fire and birthstone va
riety which insists "that unless
you accept Jesus Christ as Savior
you will go to help. The Catho-
lies of America are not worried
about this apparently Protestant
emphasis and expansion in the
public school in recent years. The
Catholics have their own parochial
schools and do not consider the

Gators and Rabbis are becoming
more worried every day. The COM

WASHINGTON

WASEINGTON-
One of the major reasons for
the embargo on arms to the Middle
East by the United States is re-
liably said to be Syria.
Foreseeing Syria as a base of
operations against Palestine, the
State Department decided several
months ago to lay down an over
all Middle Eastern ban on arms
from this country.
Those who favored the general
embargo rather than a specific ban
against Syria, took the view that
Q specific embargo would not be
easy to enforce, since arms might
Seep through other Arab countries
to Syria, the seat of the organized
Arab movement.
There is no doubt, of course,
that the policy makers here would
have hesitated to single out Syria
because of Americas strategic in
terest in oil there, for it was ar
gued that any but a general en-
barge would have been labeled as
q hostile act. A risk could be
taken with a general embargo,
however, which was levelled a.
gainst the Jews as well as Arabs,
1t was said, because the Arabs
would not be likely to throw away
the very substantial profits COM
ing from American oil royalties, if
they could save face.
When Syria took the lead in
threats Of violent and organized
opposition to partition, during the
Palestine debates at the United
Nations, the State Department,
confirmed in its fears, carried out
Its policy by enacting the embargo.
The United States took this action
barely a week after the, UN voted
Tor creation of the new Jewish
and Arab states.
Regardless of how adversely the
embargo affects the Jewish forces
IN Palestine, and works to the ad-
vantage of the active Arab oppo-
ntion to the UN, it is not believed
here the United States would lift
the embargo unless two primary
conditions are met.
The first of these is that the
United Nations set up an inter-
national police force. This force
should be recruited from smaller
countries. The United States is
opposed to the. use of troops of the
O'g powers in an international
ponce force in this instance, espec-
ally troops of Russia and the
united States. This government
ae this time-would never agree
70 the active participation of the
u 8. s. r. in a UN security force
for Palestine.
The second condition which
would have to be met is that the
united Nations ask for the lifting
OF the embargo. 1t is suggested
mat the United States might re-
sard IN favorable light any such
request from the UN, especially if
a9orced by the argument that
Aoequately armed home and local
police forces would be an aid in
helping to maintain peace.
