Ebon Talks Of
Peoce to Dulles

WASHINGTON (JTA) Israel
Ambassador Abba Eban said fol-
lowing his first official visit to
Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles that the main objective of
his visit was to outline the i'm
portance of a peace settlement in
the Middle East. Mr.. Eban said
he believed there was common
desire for peace in that area and
that he had suggested some meth
DDS for achieving it.
The Christian Science Monitor,
in an article by Joseph Harsch,
says that Secretary Dulles policy
is ito withdraw any special con-
sideration" accorded Israel by the
us. and 'to regard it as deserv-
ing no more consideration than
any other country in the area"
The article points out that "the
change assumes, perhaps naively,
that backtracking on support of
Israel will make possible arrange
mentS with the Arab states which
will strengthen their internal Sc
curity and make military bases
to the West in the event
of war"

TEL AVN (JTA)-ISrael may

in German merchant vessels, For
eign Minister Moshe Sharett indi-
Gated.
Commenting on the German
Parliamentary recommended to
the Bonn Government that it re-
negotiate this point with Israel,
Mr.. Sharett said: ut is hard to
force the Germans to agree to
discriminatory terms like forbid
ding German ships to enter Is
raeli ports" He pointed out that
Israeli vessels have been visiting
German ports for the past three
years. No decision will be made
until after a report has been re-
ceived by DR.. F. Shinnar, Israel
Government representative, who
is now in Germany pressing for
ratification and implementation
of the reparations pact.

has become the center of Western
efforts to form a Middle Eastern
Command against Communism.
There has been talk of a possible
visit to Washington by Egyptian
Premier Gen. Naguib. Despite
Israeps concern over the mainte-
nance of peace in the Middle East,
there have been negotiations be-
tween Egypt and the U. S. in con-
nection with the shipment of
heavy munitions.
Mr.. WadsWorth is not known as
we'll as Mr.. Henderson, but ISrae-

Mr.. Henderson, as Director of

fairs between 1915 and 1948 was
considered the leader of the State

Zionist aspirations. He was re-

responsible for Americas rever-
sal on the u. MS plan for the

The naming of Mr.. Henderson

Of suspicion pointed to him.
Accused, unjustly 1t was
proven. Of contact with the
revolutionists in Paris, he was
banished from England. This
marked the beginning Of the

mitted to return to London
three years later. he was
forced to become a wine mer-

Men of Vision
Although today the works
Of Viotti and Corelli are
classed more in the students
repertoire, they remain the
means of acquiring the daz-
zling technique and suavity of
style the present-day artists
of the violin have achieved.
The art of composition was
enlarged immeasurably by
their talent and succeeding
composers have paid homage
to their vision.

first local performance of
Paul Ben-Haim's Sonata in
G." and an unpublished
Sonata in r Major" by Men
delssohn. The work by Israel's
great composer was written in
Tel Aviv In 1851 and dedicated
to Menuhin. who gave it It's
world premiere in New York
last year. OF Mendelssohn'S
sonata, a scant word is found
In his letters. From Berlin,
in August. 1888. he wrote to
Ferdinand Hitler: "A very
important branch Of piano
music, and one of which I am
particularly fond-trios, quar-
tets, and other pieces with &C
compartment, genuine cham
ber music-is quite forgotten
now and I feel a great urge
to do something new of this
kind. It was with this idea that
I recently wrote the sonata for
violin :" Mr.. Menuhin has
a photostat copy of the origi-
nal manuscript.
