Anti Whitewash
Continuation Of the Mccarthy
Stevens hearing is an insult to Ameri-
can intelligence. The verdict was clearly
given at President Eisenhower's press
conference when he took sides with Mr..
Stevens. In fairness. the President
should not have sided with his selectee
against the peoples electee. So why
further waste the time Of Senators
elected by the people?
The Army-McC Carthy hearings are
sad spectacle. but necessary toward
making q disinterested public aware
of Just what ''McCarthyism" really is.
Senator. Mccarthy was a Judge in
Wisconsin. Could any judge of any
court in our land be sincere when he
introduces in evidence as proof, the
innuendoeS, half-truths, personal opin-
ions, testimony. in lieu of points Of
order, doctored photographs, newspaper
clippings, letter signed by some one
other than Edgar Hoover in Hoover's
name, containing evaluations relating
to the loyalty of the people mentioned
in the letter, such evaluationS statedly
not made by the FBI but made by no
one knows whom? Something is miss
ing: a thing called responsibility. Moral
responsibility must be prerequisite for
any statesman. high or low.
Observer.
Most members of the committee agree
that entirely too much time Is consumed
croSs-examining witnesses, especially

After all, what is being accomplished
in this investigation, regardless of the
winner?
It is a waste Of everybody's time. My
personal recommendation Is that the
whole thing be called OF.

Begin Final i
Phase 1854
UJA Drive

The United Jewish Appeal
opens it's final phase of the
1854 campaign with it's target
as S5O,OOO,O00 cash by the end
of the year. With it comes the
announcement of a four-pOint
program: in Israel to hasten
construction of 19 new agrl-
cultural settlements, imprOV-
ing others, completing 5000
housing units, maintaining
transit camps and sustenance
to 10000 newcomers. In west
ern Europe it will continue
welfare, rehabilitation and
immigration aid to 10000 vic
tins. North Africa and Mo-
rocco require enlarged pro
grams of assistance. Empha-
sis in the us. is on speedy
integration of newcomers
through settlement and other
assistance.
Naturally, UJA looks to the
local communities such as
Tucson for this financial as
sistance. Reuben Gold, cam
paign chairman, reports that
$4,000 is still outstanding.
This is a sizeable sum in view
of the total raised and the
lateness of the season. Col
lections have been slow. NO
money has ben sent UJA IN
some time. To meet obllga-
tions to UJA and to the local
community, persons holding
outstanding pledges are again
asked to pay them. Contrlbu-
tors should try to clear
them before the Holidays.

Deny Making
Loan Request

NUREMBERG (JTA)-The
German press reported that
West Germany has turned a
cold shoulder" to a proposal
that she make available to Is
rael a loan of S70,O0O,O0O on
account of her reparations
payments to the Jewish State.
Die Welt" leading Ger
man daily newspaper, said Is
rael had suggested that the
loan be made out of the huge
surplus which West Germany
has accumulated with the Eu-
ropean Payments Union. Is
rael proposed that the loan
be granted as an advance
against payments on German
obligations under the Ger
man-IsraeI reparations treaty.
THE government has given
the suggestion a cold recep-
ton due to the great need for
capital for the German
economy" Die Welt asserted.
The Israel Purchasing Mis-
sion in Germany declined to
comment on the report, eX-
cept to state that Israel has
never sought a cash loan OF
the kind indicated.

TUNIS (JTA).-Tahar ben
Amman, new Premier of this

that it has long been his aim

Premier ben Amman declared
it had been his intention to
include a Jew in his cabinet
"at the first opportunity,
when a reshuffle or enlarge
ment of the cabinet takes
place" There are about $4,000
native Jews "of the Tunisian
nation" here, in addition to
10000 French Jews.

Arab Arms
Is posed

TEL AVN (JTA) - Israel
will continue to oppose the
U. S. policy of arming the
Arab states, and will not be
satisfied with mere verbal
guarantees of its security,
which is now even in greater
danger as a result of the Brit
ish-Egyptian agreement on
Suez, that has brought about
a change in the Middle East's
balance of power, Premier
Moshe Sharett declared at a
press conference.
The Israel premier said the
u. S. Secretary of State
Dulles, in his recent talks
wit h IsraeIs Ambassador
Abba Eban, revealed his
good will in an effort to calm
Israel in the face of her an
Xieties." But Mr.. Sharett add
ed, 'I don't think that good
will alone can satisfy Israel" "
Sending arms to the Arab
states, the Israel premier
stressed, contributes to the
deterioration of peace and
stability in the Middle East.
1t is the equivalent of a prize
to the Arab states for their
refusal to negotiate peace
with Israel, he asserted. Not
only will delivery of arms to
the Arabs states make peace
in the Middle East more re.
mote, but it will not even help
the stabiliZatiOn of the al
ready shaky regimes in the
Arab countries themselves
nor will it aid relations
among the various Arat
states, Mr.. Sharett believes
Mr.. Sharett emphasized
that ''it should be clear" thar
the abandoned lands "Were
not acquired in the free mar
ket, but through aggressive
war and invasion on the par
of the Arabs, who caused u
immense losses, materially
and physically. All that vii
have to be taken into &C
count" he said.

to settle the dispute that has

Because of the disintegra-
