JEWISH COMMUNITY

NEW YORK - (JTA) - Paul
Ginsberg, national commander Of
the Jewish War Veterans of the
United States, returning from a
three-month world tour, praised
the Jewish community of Tokyo
for providing high standard
entertainment and recreation at
the local community center for

commenting on his visit to Israel,
called the Jewish state a fortress
for democracy in the Middle East
and said the Israeli people feel a

trary to tn ir own wishes, and
solely because Jews are refused
visas for entry into Saudi Arabia
by officials of that country, the
net result is discrimination on
government contracts in clear
violation of Executive Order
1O3O8."
The Jewish organizations as
serted that acceptance of this
Saudi Arabian policy without
objection would be for the United
States ito acquiesce in undemo-
cratic discrimination again S t
American citizens by a foreign
power with which we are CO.
operating for the defense of world
democracy" In their letter, they
called attention to a precedent for
dealing with such situations es-
tablished during the administra-
ton of President Taft. At that
time, they pointed out, in retalia-
ton against Russia's refusal to
grant visas to American citizens,
including those Of Jewish faith,
the United States abrogated its
trade treaty with Russia.
"It is our belief" the letter
stated, shat the government of
the United States, if it is to re-
main true to its basic democratic
principles, must advise the gov
eminent of Saudi Arbia that it
will not accept the discrimination
against U. S. citizens practiced by
that country in granting visas,
and will insist that Saudi Arabia
admit those American citizens

military construction there"

Big Winter Season Forecast
Despite Present Xmas Dip
CHAMBER SAYS
RETAIL BUSINESS
UP, HOTEL, MOTEL
DOWN THIS MONTH

The winter tourist season Is get
ting off to a little slower start this
year than last, the Key West
Chamber Of Commerce said today.
Although many retail firms along
Duval Street and elsewhere on the
island say the Christmas volume
is slightly up over last year, a
good many hotels, motels and
restaurants claim their business is
slightly off.
During the first three weeks Of
December, Chamber figures indi-
cate that visitors in their office
totaled 45S. Last year during the
same three weeks 500 called for
information. In 1850 the total was
472 and in 1949 there were SAG
during the three week period.
As mentioned in previous Cham
ber releases, however, indications
are that January. February and
March should be the best yet. Mail
inquiries received at their office
are running from Is to so per cent
up over previous years.
George Renna. chairman of the
Hotel-Motel Division of the Cham
ber of Commerce, mentioned that
in view of smaller number of
tourists in town, at present, plus
the fact that more rooms and
apartments are now available,
causes the volume of vacationists
to be spread a little thinner. As
q result, Mr.. Renna pointed out,
some individual hotels and motels
are feeling the pinch.
