All, BrotherIy Love!

DUSSELDORF, (JTA) Ma
tiOnal Brotherhood Week was
inaugurated in this city with the
showing of the Israeli film,
"Tent City," about the life of
refugee immigrants arriving in
Israel. 1t was the first showing
in Germany of an Israeli-prO-
duced film.
Viktor RennOr, Minister of
Justice of the Baden -Wuerttem-
berg government, called on the
German parliament to hold the
last full meeting Of it's current
session on the site of the former
Nazi death camp at Belsen. He
suggested that final action on
the German-Israel repartatiOns
pact could be taken at that
meeting and thus symbolic
West Germany's democratic at
titude and the will of the Ger
man people to make reparatiOns
to the Jews.

In Washington, the United States
Senate adopted a resolution con-
demning the "vicious and inhuman
campaigns" conducted by the
Soviet government and its puppet
regimes in satellite states against
racial and religious minorities. The
resolution noted "the increasing
persecution of the people of the
Jewish faith"
The resolution, which calls for
United Nations action, was amend
ed on motion of Sen. Irving Ives
of New York, to call on the United
Nations to adopt a resolution
specifically condemning the Soviet
actions.
Persecution Flayed
Sen. Alexander Wiley, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
committee, who brought the resolu-
tion to the Senate floor after it
had been unanimously approved by
his committee, briefly reviewed the
Transformation of the resolution
from what had originally been a
condemnation of Communist anti
Semitism into a condemnation of
Soviet persecution of all minor
tiles. He referred to the Prague
trials, the Moscow attack on
Jewish doctors and the events cul-
minating in the Soviet rupture OF
diplomatic relations with Israel.
The Soviet attack on the Jews,
he said, was part of a policy Of
persecution of all minorities, Sen.
Wiley said. These prosecutions, he
charged, were aimed at all peo-
pies who stood for human rights.
"No religion is safe when one
is in danger" he declared. "a des-
potism that will attack one group
today will attack another group
tomorrow" He described the Soviet
campaign against minorities as
"genocide."
Bombing A Red Plot?
In discussing the Soviet-Israeli
break, Sen. Wiley said it was not
beyond belief that the bombing
of the Soviet Legation in Tel Aviv
the immediate pretext for the
Soviet break - was the work of
Communists.
The United Nations General
Assembly was given foretaste OF
what to expect when Communist
treatment of the Jews come up Tor
discussion in it's agenda. Ambas-
sador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., max
ing his maiden speech to the As
sembly as head of the American
delegation, minced no words in his
comment on Communist racial and
religious persecution.

UJA Has
All>Tine
Record
Kickoff

The United Jewish Wei
fare campaign entered the
final phases of its 1858 cam
paign this week, with contri-
buttons and pledges now
totaling $4,000.
This leaves $49,204 still to go
if the community is to reach its
$124,2 4,204 goal.
George Wolf, campaign chair
man, reported that the drive is still
ahead of last year at this point,
But he said the previously-sched-
uled six weeks of campaigning is
going to have to be extended in
order to go over the top.
Meanwhile, the board of direc-
tors of the Jewish Community
Council has voted to send $10,-
900 cash advance to the United
Jewish appeal out of 1868 funds
to meet urgent -UJA needs.
Good Start for UJA
On the national level, UJA is
off to a record start in it's year
long campaign for 44,524, ,250 to
aid Israel and finance rescue,
settlement, welfare and rehabilita-
tion programs.
At a two-day National Inaug-
raj Conference at Miami Beach,
Fla, UJA took in $14, ,15O, 900,
which was nearly $3,000,000 more
than the amounts contributed at
last years launching.
There were numerous contrlbu-
tions representing increases of 20
to 100 per cent over gifts made
bv the same persons a year ago.
Stimulating the nationwide drive
was UJA's emergency call for
help to meet the crisis stemming
from continued Soviet assaults on
the Jews of eastern Europe and
on Israel.
Menaced By Tyranny
Edward M. M. Warburg, gen.
eral chairman of UJA, termed the
initial outpouring of money "a
forerunner of what American Jews
will do this year in rallying be-
hind millions of innocent men,
women and children in eastern
Europe and in Israel who have
fbecome targets of heartless and
tyrannical forces"
Warburg characterized the Sow
let drive against Jews as IAN
emergency which in many terrible
ways resembles the Hitler one" "
The three main beneficiaries OF
UJA are:
Joint Distribution Committee,
which provides relief and re-
Mobilization assistance to needy
Jews, including escapes from
Iron Curtain countries (see pic
ture on page 81;
United Israel Appeal, which
uses UJA funds for settlement
and development programs IN
Israel;
United Service for New Amer
leans. which makes possible the
adjustment of refugees who
come to the US.

Anti-JeWish Speech
Is Given at ParIey

WASHINGTON, (JTA) An in
flammatory attack on American
Jewry, prepared by Iraqi Minister
Abdullah Ibrihim Bakr, was pre-
sented by a state department Of
ficial last week before a confer
ence for corporation executives at
the Statler Hotel.
The official who read Bakr's
remarks was Edwin M. Wright,
officer in charge of Turkish affairs
of the department of state. Wright
was formerly chief intelligence ad-
wiser of the Near Eastern Division
of the Department and has long
record of anti-Israel utterances.
The conference is sponsored by
the Foreign Service Educational
Foundation, in cooperation with
the School for Advanced Interna-
tional Studies of Johns Hopkins
University.
Although the subject of the con-
ference was Development in the
Middle East" no Israel or Zionist
representative was invited despite
the fact that several Arabs and
pro-Arab personages were listed
on the program. Wright, who was
chairman of the session at which
he read Bakr's anti-Jewish address
did so because the Iraqi could NOT
appear in person. The remarks
questioned the loyalty of Ameri-
can Jewry and charged that Jews
are unreliable citizens throughout
the world.

Israel Policy
Shift ieved

WASHINGTON, (JTA) = The
"first novel experiment in Ameri-
can foreign policy change" under
taken by Secretary of State John
Foster Dulles is in Palestine,
Joseph c. Harsch, noted Washing
ton correspondent, reports in the
Christian Science Monitor.
"The Truman Administrations
policy toward this area partially
favored the new Jewish state OF
Israel" Harsch reported. "In effect
Truman policy treated Israel as
equal in Importance to the sur
rounding Arab states, Syria, Le-
banon, Hashemite Kingdom of Jor-
dan and Egypt.
"The Dulles policy" he declared
"is to withdraw any special con-
sideration accorded Israel and to
regard it as deserving no more
consideration than any one other
country in the area. The first prac-
tical result of the new policy has
been a refusal to regard the Rus
sian breach of diplomatic relations
with Israel as reason for accord
ing to Israel as many guns, tanks
and planes as to all the surround
ing Arab countries together"
The Truman policy, according to
the writer, was based on the hope
that the modern, energetic state
of Israel would be a sounder basis
for Middle East policy than the
weaker, less modern Arab States,
Dulles, however, has decided now
"to play Americas diplomatic hand
the other way" Harsch declared

Constantine Brown:

The statement Of Gen. James
Van Fleet, the retiring COM
rnander Of the 9th Army, that
the allied forces in Korea were
denied certain victory in June,
1851, when they were ready to
attack the worn-out Chinese,
promises to reopen a contro-
versy about the conduct of the
Korean war.
At the time when Van Fleets
forces were poised to strike at
the enemy in a decisive action,
the enemy was bailed out by
Jacob Malik, the Soviet repre-
sentative at the United Ma
tionS, who suggested" a truce
which we eagerly accepted.
Unlike our European allies,
the American people take the
Korean action seriously. We
have had 130, 900 battle casual
ties and spent between SIS bill
lion and $40 billion in that
campaign which has brought
us nothing but sorrow.
Gen. Van Fleet unveiled only
a part Of the weird story-the
part he saw as a field COM
mander who knew that he had
the enemy on the run if only
he were allowed to go ahead.
The other part, the reasons
why the American Government
acted the way it did, is a U. N.
and Washington story.
The American people know
only one portion of the story
from the hearings of a joint
committee Of the Senate in
vestigating the dismissal Of
Gen. Douglas Macarthur. The
other part, the events between
our soliciting an armistice at
the suggestion Of Malik and
the Eisenhower trip to Korea,
Is still to be revealed.
No particular benefits could
be gained, it is said by some
officials, from an investigation
or publication of the facts
which have forced the allied
armies to mark time for nearly
20 months and permit the en-
emy to strengthen his position.
This view is not shared by
q large number Of members in
both houses Of Congress. At
this time, when our European
allies are irked by the order
given by President Eisenhower
to the 7th Fleet to allow the

the China coast and when the
British are opposing strenu-
ously a blockade of the enemy
coastline, an airing Of the con-
duct Of the war seems nee
eSSary.
Such an airing will reveal
that from the entry of the Chi
nese Communists into the war
up to the time President Eisen-
hover was sworn in, the mill
tary strategy in Korea has
been dictated by the diplomats
and politicians in the U. N.
This dictation was despite the
fact that strategy had been en-
trusted by the u. N. to the
American supreme commander.
Our European partners in
the Korean campaign, who
contributed only a small share
of the forces in that area. took
it upon themselves to regulate
the strategy Of our top mill
tary men. Nobody can honestly
blame Britain or France, which
have their own serious prob
lens in the Far East, for not
contributing a larger military
force. But it is highly doubt
full that they were entitled
under the circumstances to tell
us how to fight the war, par
ticularly when we were so close
to victory.

Dovid Lowrence:

Now that the truth Is COM

Of various charges against Vice
President Nixon in connection
with the political fund raised
while he was q member OF the
Senate, it would be equally In
teresting If the whole truth
about the money raised In
Illinois for Gov. Stevenson
were disclosed.
For the amazing fact Is that,
while the Democratic preSiden-
tial nominee during the last
campaign made full disclosure
of his own income-tax returns,
he never made an accounting or
statement or revelation Of any
kind concerning three political
funds-1950, 1851 and 1952-to
which contributions were made
in Illinois while he was Gov
ernor.
Mr.. StevenSon'S data as pub
lished thus far relates only to
his 1948 campaign fund. john
son Kanady, veteran newspaper
correspondent at Springfield,
H., writes the following
memorandum which has been
received by this correspondent:
mo newspaper was ever able
to get details of the 1850 and
1851 Stevenson funds, and so
far as I know no newspaper
man with Stevenson, except
me, tried very hard. I was
turned down a score of times on
the request by William I.
Flanagan, who was Stevenson'S
press secretary, and at one
time submitted formal writ
ten questions, and received no
reply to them.
There was never an op-
portunity to ask Stevenson
about the matter personally
.. To my mind he never held
q press conference after Sep
tember Is, and certainly
never after the fund contro-
versieS broke. The only fund
information we had from Ste
venSon was the detailed break
down he issued in a formal
statement. It showed 1948-49
contributors but failed to make
