new PEACE TRY
Is URGED BY UN
Accord Sought
Again Between
IsraeIis, Arabs

UNITED NATIONS, NY,
(JTA)-The United Nations
moved this week to bring
about a Middle Eastern
peace settlement by means of
direct negotiations between
Israel and her Arab neigh
bors.
The UN Special Political Com
mittee adopted a resolution spon-
sored by eight powers calling for
direct negotiations between Israel
and the Arab states. The resolution
was carried by vote of 80 to 13,
with the Soviet bloc abstaining.
The Arab states voted against the
resolution, which obtained Israel's
assent.
The UN committee rejected two
resolutions which had the support
of the Arab bloc. The first was a
Pakistani resolution requiring ex-
pansion of the membership of the
Palestine Cancellation Commission
from three to five members, and
the transfer of its headquarters
Jerusalem from New York. The
second proposal turned down was
demand made by the Syrian dele
gate that the question of the rights
of the Palestine Arab refugees be
referred to the International Court
of Justice for an opinion.
Israel Pledges Action
Immediately after the vote, Is
rael Ambassador Abba Eban pledg-
ed that his government would take
immediate steps to open negotia-
tions for a peace settlement. He
was answered by Syrian delegate
Ahmed Shukairi, who stated that
the Arabs would not negotiate with
Israel until the Jewish state "re-
spected" the UN decisions on Pales-
tine.
The vote was a resounding defeat
for the Arab states and an ironical
result of their own actions. The
Palestine question" had not fig
ured on the agenda of the current
General Assembly until the Arab
states insisted on it's inclusion.
Their action was Immediately fol-
lowed by inclusion of Israel's COM
plants against the Arab states.

MRS. FRED HOLMES had her
jeweled brooch back this week and
Jewish welfare causes were en-
riched to the extent of $3.50.
Thereon, of course, hangs a
story:
1t started back in 1949. That
was when the people of Palestine
were fighting bravely to win their
independence and Jewish philan-
thropies were striving nightly to
aid hard-pressed Jews all over the
world.
Mrs. Holmes and her husband,
DR.. Fred Holmes, retired Phoenix
physician and veteran civic leader,
are not Jewish. But they were
thrilled by the courageous struggle
in Palestine. They were equally i'm
pressed by the work being done
through Jewish philanthropical or
ganizations to help in the fight and
succor stricken Jews everywhere.
AND so Mrs. Holmes turned
over to Nat G. Silverman, then
president of the Phoenix Jewish
Community Council, a jeweled
brooch which was a family heir

and Mcdowell, costing about $780,
600. The congregational activities
include an extensive Hebrew and
Sunday school program and various
other youth and adult activities
supervised by Rabbi Harry 2.
Schectman.
1t was under Meckler's guidance
that effective committees were set
up to expand the Hebrew school
and acquire the congregations s
present-day cemetery. He also put
into motion the special Va'ad
Hakashrus and Chevra Kadishe
committees.
MendelsOhn NC.
Norman Mendelsohn will be mas
ter of ceremonies at the dinner.
Speakers will include various syn
agogue leaders who have served on
committees during Meckler's re-
gime.
The committee arranging the
dinner consists of Mendelsohn,
Joseph Gross and Jerry Smith.
Present president of the congrega-
ton is Sam Schurgin.
Meckler is the head of the Neck
ler Jewelry & Loan Co. at 214 E.

loom. She specified that it was to
be used for Jewish charities.
Silverman demonstrated. He ar
gued that the brooch represented
values to Mrs. Holmes far in excess
of it's intrinsic worth and should
be kept in the Holmes family. But
Mrs. Holmes was determined to
make her contribution.
Silverman talked it over with his
executive committee. Then, without
telling Mrs. Holmes, he had the
brooch placed in a vault. He felt
that the time might come when
Mrs. Holmes would want the jewel
ry in order to pass it on to her
grandchildren.
HIS HUNCH proved sound. A
short time ago DIR. Holmes con-
tacted Newton Rosenzweig, then
president of the Jewish Community
Council. What, he asked, had be-
come of the jeweled pin? Ready and
waiting, Rosenzweig replied.
And so arrangements were made
to convey the brooch back to de-
lighted Mrs. Holmes. And shortly
afterward the United Jewish We'll

Center
Site Is
Bought

A generous contribution
on the part of it's former own
ers has made possible the
purchase of a seven-acre site
just west of 18th st. and
Comeback Rd. for the new
permanent Jewish Commun-
ity Center.
Announcement of the purchase
was made by Maurice Brown, presi-
dent of the Center committee.
The land was bought from Col.
Louis Himelstein of E. Missouri
Ave. and Milton Bochat of 23O8 E.
Missouri. Brown said the site had
been selected some time ago by the
Center committee, but the commit
tee held off purchasing it because
of $4,000 price. Then, when
Himelstein and Bochat learned of
plans for the new Center, they
contributed half the acreage to the
project and made possible acquisi-
tion of the site.
Drive to Suspend
Meanwhile, the drive for funds
to build the new Center is entering
the final stage of its initial period
in order to clear the way for the
upcoming United Jewish Welfare
Fund campaign. Later in 1868,
when the welfare drive is disposed
of and more detailed plans for the
Center are ready, the fund appeal
will be resumed.
However, Center officials said
contributions are still welcome and
may be sent to the present Center
offices at 2211 N. Central.
A ceremony of dedication for the
new Center site will be held next
spring.
