Who Wants to Send Arms to the Arabs?
"a Southern Jewish Weekly EditoriaD

"a Southern Jewish Weekly EditoriaD
The picture of the U. S. sending arms to Arab
countries becomes more involved as future plans
by the State Department are announced It also
becomes less easily understood
Until recently it was the sending of arms to
Egypt and countries bordering Israel and the pro-
posed plan to send military equipment to Iraq and
Saudi Arabia that deeply upset Israel and her
friends in this country. It was pointed out to Sec
rotary of State John Foster Dulles that condition
of war still exists between Israel and the latter
two Arab countries, and that with the new king
of Saudi remarking that he has strong desire to
wipe out Israel" the implements of war which
will be sent to him by this country readily be
turned against the new Jewish state. It is obvious
why friends of Israel in this country oppose the
new arms-aid proposal.
It should also be obvious by this time why
friends of democracy oppose military aid to Egypt
and the other Arab countries While it is claimed
by our own State Department that arms are being
sent there to create an anti Communist bloc, the
Arab states have refused to become part of the
NATO scheme, and organize Middle-Ea coali-
ton opposed to Russian expansion.
On top of all this the State Department now
announces plan to link Pakistan and Iraq with
Turkey in treaty organization hinged to NATO.
This is being offered as alternative to the fail
ure of the Arab League to declare itself pro-
Western.
This latest development has caused great con-
Germ on the part of India. In our own country
another eruption against State department policy
is now taking place by those who see only con-
fusion in the direction our foreign inducements
are taking US, for the question arises as to what
purpose Moslem countries are being armed
1t is said that the Pentagon has stated that as
Allies in case of Russia marching into the Middle
East the Arab countries are useless Their soldier

ISRAEL-ABYSSINIA
TRADE AGREEMENT

JERUSALEM, IIP) - A trade
pact between Israel and Abys-
sinia was foreseen recently in the
negotiations now underway be-
tween representatives of the Bank
Leumi and of the Central Bank
of Abyssinia.
The discussions were based on
a $1,O0O,OO0 barter agreement,
which could be increased if neces-
Sary.
Israel is ready to supply tex
tiles, cars, tires and cement in
exchange for meat, skins and cof-
fee. Recently the Incode Company
announced plans for the construc-
ton of large storage plants in
East Africa and Elath, part of a
program to supply the meat needs
of Israel by running a regular
shipping line through Elath, Is
raels southernmost outpost on
the Red Sea, whose expansion is
being enabled by investments
from State of Israel Bonds.
Meanwhile in Kenya, Israeps
artistry, especially in metal work,
got high praise in the recent ex-
hibition held by the Society of
Arts and Crafts. Israel's exhibits
were selected and shipped by
WHO.

PLAIN TALK
IN A LIVING ROOM
BY ALFRED sEGAL


Of this and that-of everything
except death which had just been
among US and taken him. The
talk has to do with teen-agers and
with Eisenhower. with taxes and
Europe and what is going to hap
pen there. with the way Of kids
in our time and what to do about
Korea if the worse comes to the
worst: with Israel. q
We are all in his living room
by way of the coincidence we
deeply feel for the excellent gen.
tleman who had been our friend.
For some of us there is special
significance in his death. He and
his good wife had been one of a
small group of us who for 80
years met to celebrate each
others birthdays and anniver-
saries. He was third man among
us to die within the recent two
years: of the men there were but
three survivors.
I am thinking. "Oh. am one
Of the survivors and who's the
neat?" / am not in the least an
xious about that. mind you. just
philosophical. When one gets TO
be old enough. the prospect Of
death no longer Is disturbing.
Dying. in fact. is the easiest thing
a man does: living is much hard
er. II. before being born. we knew
what life contained. maybe we
would be more afraid Of being
born than we are Of dying.
Doubtless, the two others of the
three survivors are meditating in
the same direction: Who's next?
Which of us is next among us?
But none of this is in the con-
versa4ion around the de d
friends living room: there is no
death in il. not a word Of death
in the living room. A young man
and his wife drop in and we con-
graduate them because we have
heard they are going TO have an
other baby.
Yes, he is in his grave but here
is his living room; in its full
meaning; it's full of living and
of hoping this day, full of all the
good that yet might come, full of
tomorrows to look forward to.
We had just left our prayers at
his grave; now we see that his
living room has more meaning
than his grave.
And all that brings me around
to the idea that our Jewish way
Of life carries more comfort than
that which prevails among our
non-Jewish neighbors. ex sept
among some Of the older Irish.
The Irish. 400. make more Of life
going on and on than of the i'm
mediate death. In the modern
practice among the Christians a
dead mans friends all gather
around him in the funeral home
10 present their condolences to
his widow. She stands there re-
ceiving all who come to pay their
respects.
You shake her hand and say,
"rm so sorry. Your husband was
a great guy" and you 60 your
way with sorrowing head bowed
low.

that has hampered his broad
casting career. Some, who knew
the redhead when he was making
a mere pittance-less than 81
million a year, even-might like
to be hampered the same way.
1t appears. however, that Arthur
has his sorrows.
He has voiced them in piece
in Look magazine urging better
salaries for teachers. His teach
ers, he averred, did their best
but he has felt lifelong regret
because he quit high school in
his sophomore year. He provides
immediate evidence.
Il know I could have achieved
much greater stature in the
broadcaSting business" he testi-
fles, IF I could have talked, for
instance, as we'll as my father.
He could tell a slightly shady
story so beautifully it sounded
like Chaucer."
Godfrey obviously is confused,
IT he hadn't quit high school in
his sophomore year he would
know it was not his father who
told shady stories so beautifully
they sounded like Chaucer. It
was Chaucer. He got away with
1t not because his English was
lmpeccable, but because it was
SO peccable nobody but a few
scholars ever could figure out
what he was saying.
This Godfrey yen for the
Chaucerian delivery does con-
Jure up a fascinating picture. If
you close your eyes you can see
it now. Godfrey is glancing up
at the clock and discovering
that he barely has time to get
the closing commercial in.
"The TYNE. that may not So
Journe," he sighs,
But goth. and never may re-
tourne,
"As water that doun Kenneth
ay,
But never drope retourne

1t might be different, but it
won't sell much tea, so today's
advice to Godfrey is to stick to
Godfrey-type English and to
pay the writer's we'll to keep it
that way. Remember, Arthur,
"A ful gret fool is he, y-wis,
that bottle richie and nigard is"

All Ironed Out
Legislation On
Gas Stations OK

1t is now legal-in East Cleve-
land, at least, for smaller gas
stations to refine brakes and make
minor steering system repairs. It's
all spelled out in an amendment
to an ordinance enacted Tuesday
night by the City Commission,
the measure having passed first
reading at the previous meeting.
Under the legislation all major
auto repairs, meter jobs, painting,
welding, body work, is reserved
to the larger garages having spe-
cial equipment for this type of
service.
When the question first came
to the attention of the city fathers
there was some doubt as to what
action was to be taken. However,
when a check of small stations re-
vealed that most of them were
already engaged in this metering
service, the legislation was drawn
up, put on first reading, left for
further consideration and finally
enacted thus last Tuesday evening.
The measure also ran the gamut
of the Zoning Board of Appeals
where it popped up an appeal for
building for this particular use
only.
However, there must be no an
noying noise, Commission Clerk
G. T. Athorp read from the zoning
and other ordinances, clauses
governing noise within the city.
They fully cover the new ordi-
nance, as well.
In other legislation, passed
under suspension of rules, the
Commission fixed the salary of
the newly created office of police
captain at $4,000 a year. This of
flee is effective September 16,
1854.
A report on the request for
taffic signals at the East 131st
st.-Lakeiewv I'd. intersection was
made. The city will erect "Slow-
Children" signs there.
Markad Motor was given the bid
for new police station wagon and
Hewitt Chevrolet for two police
cruisers. Old equipment is being
turned in to make the bids $1S15,
$3.50 turn-in on the station wagon;
and from $125 to $3.50 turn ins on
the $500 cruisers.
