Housing Project
 Sure Says Mayor

The Chamber of Commerce received assurance Thursday from Mayor Lee c. Bettinger that the housing project in the east addition would become a reality.
 Bettinger addressed the group following the regular bi-monthly luncheon at the Montmartre Inn.
 The actual construction of the job will probably begin around November 1, Bettinger told the members.
 He returned to Kodiak on Wednesdays plane after a trip to Washington, D. c., San Francisco and Juneau to confer with various govern ment officials on preliminary details of the project.
 The actual building of the 400 one, two and three bed room units hinged on the city receiving government funds to improve and extend the pres ent city owned water and sew CT system.
 He explained that efforts will be made to coordinate the two projects so that work on both may be done at the same time.
 The completed houses will be occupied by military per- sonnel and rentals will start at $100 per month for the one bedroom units. The figures for the two and three bedroom houses were not given.
 Bettinger told of the leg work, waiting and conferences he attended in Washington to acquire approval of the proj- ect.
 He also told of the support given him by Kodiak Naval Station officials in his efforts to get the needed stamp of approval from the various gov- ernment agencies.
 He said that a complete re- port of his work would be made at the next meeting of the city council.

the Councils Suez action. The
Council made it clear that it SUBJ
scribed completely to the Israel
argument that such a recognition
by the UN would put it in the
position of encouraging, rather
than diScouraging, international
strife. The decision thus served to
give new strength to the armistice
agreements and pulled the rug
from under a favorite Arab thesis.
But most of all, of course, the
Councils strongly worded resolu-
ton exerts extreme pressure on
the whole fabric of the Arab
Leagues economic strangulation
campaign. A central element of
that campaign is starvation of the
Haifa oil refinery. If Egypt is
forced to open up the Suez, oil
will flow to Haifa and presumably
enough to make up for the plug
ging of the pipeline from Iraq.
This will strike a considerable
blow at the Leagues effort to
deep-freeze the Israel economy,
although other efforts, such as the
campaign against the Huleh pro-
ject and development of the Jor-
dan, will go on.
The question, indeed, that re-
mains for Israel as a result of this
Council victory is whether it in
reality represented a reversal of
the appeasement trend. Now that
the Council has given its verdict
on the Suez case, it must follow
through on it and keep after
Egypt if there is no compliance.
Constant pressure by the Council,
as in the case of the Dutch in In
donesia, is usually successful in
the end.
But whether the Western ma

Tor lSrael neVeTtne1eSS'
Of long-term Importance was
the fact that the SueZ case forced
the Western powers who domi-
nate the Council to recognize the
appeasement of the Arabs at Is
rael's expense could 60 only so far
before it backfired. The decision
of September LIST against Egypt
marked the UN's first clear-cut
censure of an Arab state since
1913, despite the fact that the
Arab League has in that period
been carrying on an active cam
paign of hostile acts against the
Jewish state aimed at sitting Is
rael's economic development.
In other words, the UN has
been indirectly cooperating in
the Arab League campaign, even
to the extent of ignoring a formal
Israel complaint of aggression by
Syria earlier this year in connec-
ton with the Huleh dispute. The
Security Council in the Suez case
has now reversed this sinister
trend. It has upheld Israel, cen
sured Egypt and directed it to
halt the hostile act" it has been
guilty of.
At another level, the decision
had a further basic significance.
The excuse and theoretical justifi-
cation invented by the Arab states
for their belligerence toward their
Jewish neighbor was the illegal
state of war" The armistice
agreements merely stopped shoot
ing, is the Arab argument; the
state of war continues and hostile
acts short of shooting remain JUS
titled.
This absurdity, which flies in
the face of the understandings ar
rived at in Rhodes and even rep
resents switch on the part OF the
Arabs, was scotched for good by
