Worsening Of
Relations IS
Seen By Israel

TEL AVN (JTA).-Amer-
ican-Israel relations have re-
Gently taken an acute turn for
the worse, DR.. PeretZ Bern
stein, Minister of Commerce,
told the annual convention of
the General ZioniStS Party of
Israel. DR.. Bernstein, leader
of the party, expressed regret
that American policy had
taken an anti-Israel trend but
praised the American contri-
button to ISraePs economy.
DR.. Bernstein told the 400
delegates and several thou
sand observers at the parley
that IsraePs economy had
made progress toward self
sufficiency since the centrist
party had joined the govern
ment coalition. He called for
currency decontrOl, asserting
that such action would in
crease production, attract in
vestments and help develop
ISraePs foreign trade. He Op-
posed any wage increases at
this time, stating they would
hamper efforts to make Is
raeli products competitive in
the world markets.
Commenting on the tasks
facing the Zionist movement
DR.. Bernstein demanded new
measures to attract more peo
pie to Israel. He said that the
second generation which is
growing up in Israel is un
aware of the emotional back
ground which brought Zion
ism into being.

adviser of the State Depart
ment, and by Representative
Frances Bolton of Ohio whom

sentatives for all pro-Arab

clared: Eisenhower and Sec

Israel is no threat to the basic
Interests of American policy
in the Near East. They must
know that Israel is a democ-
racy, deeply rooted in the
millenial democratic tradi-
tionS of the Jewish people
and Judaism, and it will to
the last defend its democratic
way of life and Institutions. "
Territorial Federation
In a message to the con-
vention, DR.. Nahum Gold
mann, chairman of the Jew
ish Agency, who is now
abroad, advocated reOrganiZa-
ton of the Zionist movement
outside Israel into territorial
federatiOnS based on member
ship at large, and not on par
ties as at present. He has al
ways qualified his position by
pointing out that he does not
call for the abolition of par
ties, but does feel that they
should accept a secondary
role.
"The viability OF the Zionist
movement will be determined
by its flexibility. If the Zion
ist movement is to adapt it,
self to the new circumstances
it is essential that a sense OF
| common devotion and reSpOn'
sibility for the welfare of the
movement as a whole, replace
partisanship, petty group in
! terestS, and addiction to anti
quated methods of proce
dure."

Herbert Morrison, Labor
Party leader who recently re-
turned from a visit to Israel,
told the minister that Israel
was most anxious to sit down
with the Arabs, especially
Jordan, to settle theirs dis
pute. He asked the Govern
ment spokesman whether in
view of the fact that hOStill-
ties had been brought to an
end partly at Britain's request
and at the request of the
United Nations, there was
not an obligation on Britain
to persuade the Arabs to sit
down at a roundtable and
settle the dispute.

in American public elemen-
tary and high schools next
year, the National Educa-
ton Association announced
recently.
The association estimated
that $4,000 children this
school year would be de-
prived of fulltime schooling
for lack Of classrooms. Last
year NEA figured 100000
youngsters were attending
classes on double-session or
ments.
The study by the MEAS

continuation of the "crisis
situation" reports of recent
school years. Americas pub.
lie schools will employ H.

this year, many of them
working on sub-standard
teaching certificates.
This, the study said, does
not reveal the true picture
since "a substantial part OF
the teacher shortage is con.
cealed by charging classes.
The school building pro-
gram has improved slightly
as to rural elementary
schools, NEA said, but was
definitely worse in regard
to city high schools. Last

Joint Committee Postpones Action
On Proposal To Use Funds From
Burley High School Bond Issue


Action was deferred on two
objections raised by local
Negro organizations before
the joint committee for con-
troll of Jackson p. Burley
High School here last night.
The Rev. Waddell Ward
appeared before the COM
mittee to ask that committee
suspend action on disburse-
ment of the $4,000 surplus
realized from bonds pre-
viously issued to pay for the
3-year-old $1,000, 900 Negro
high school ard which City
Council here asked to be re-
leased for use in improv-
ing a city Negro elementary
school.
And a special committee
of the local branch of the
National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored
People raised objections to
the newly completed school
as inadequate"
Mr.. Ward said he was
representing the Burley
High School Parent-Teach-
er Association and that par
ents of Burley students were
disturbed over City Coun-
Gil passage January a of a
resolution instructing State
Senator E. o. McCus,. Jr.,
and Delegate Henry B. Cor
don to seek a special act of
the General Assembly re-
leasing the $4,000 surplus,
earmarked originally for
Burley.
Mr.. Ward said it was be-
lieved by some Burley PTA
members that action in using
this surplus should be sus-
pended until a complete in
vestigation of t h e Negro
high school could be made to
determine if Burley needed
anything additional.
Mr.. Ward said he believed
there were needs at Bur-
ley which had not been met,
but he did not mention any,
thing specifically, and added
that ne didn't exactly UNI
derstand the surplus.
The Jackson P. Burley
High School is the only
high school available to
Charlottesville Albemarle
County Negro students. It
was opened in 1861 and has
an enrolment of 581 stu
dents, a teaching faculty of
Fl, and offers some so
courses.
F. r. Ellis, superinten-
dent of city schools and
member of the joint Burley
committee, said it would be
a matter of months befort
funds would be used for i'm
provements on the Negro
elementary school. He added
that passage Of the special
act by the General Assembly
must be accomplished before
this money could be spent
on the elementary school.
He pointed out that passage
of the act releasing the sur
plus funds would not per-
clude their being used at
Burley.
The Committee wanted to
know if this suspension re-
quest applied to $4,000
worth of band instruments,
home economics equipment,
practical nursing education
equipment, and some bust
ness machines for use in the
commercial education course
at Burley already ordered.

ect three Negro elementary
schools in Albemarle County.
Second objection raised
at the meeting came from a
special committee of the To-
cal branch of the NAACP
charging that Burley is Gin
adequate" on the basis of a
viewpoint program outlined
In a prepared statement read
by Charles D. Fowler, Jr.,
president-elect Of the
NAACP here.
The statement presented
to the committee in letter
form, said that "the only
way the present inadeuua-
cles of the school systems
involved here can be per-
manently adjusted, is to re-
move race as a factor in
determining attendance at
any particular school"
The five inadequacies CT
ted were lack of classroom
or laboratory for biology
class; lack of class or theory
room for masonry and car
pentry instruction; lack of
practice room for so-called
business education or COM
mercial education class; lack
of business machines for
teaching business education
courses, and inadequate
space to meet the needs of
enrolment.
The statement continued :
1--WE believe that there is
a strong possibility that
compulsory school segrega-
ton laws will be held un-
constitutional by t h e I'm
tied States Supreme Court
and when this takes place,
it is going to be to the best
interests of the school of
ficials that the physical
plants be adequate for ed
ucational purposes and as
nearly equal as possible so
that they can be utilized
without creating a lot of
unnecessary administrative
problems"
Committeeman countered
by saying that not all of the
Albemarle County bonds de-
signed to pay for the Bur
ley school construction had
been issued and that opti-
mum contract prices and
construction costs had per-
mitted erection of the Ne
gro high school at less ex-
pense than had been antici-
pated before bids for the
construction had been SUBJ
mitted.
The NAACP committee
said in it's prepared state
ment that putting the city's
$4,000 surplus into repairs
and improvements on the
|city Negro elementary school
would be "a complete waste
of taxpayers funds" while
this same sum could be "ef-
ficiently and economically
utilized by providing nee
essary facilities at Burley,"
making that school more
equal to other high schools
in this area.
The statement was pre-.
scented over signatures of

Canadian Forces May Adopt
New Belgian Automatic Rifle

that Canadian adoption Of the
weapon could influence the
United States in its favor, the di-
rectors of Fabrique Rationale de
la Guerre are believed to have
offered Canada a license to man.
ufacture for the Canadian army
on terms particularly favorable
to Canada.
Russians Have New Rifle.
However, it can be stated au-
thoritatively that cost is not the
major factor so far as Canada
is concerned. Canadian army
small arms experts have tested
all the new automaticNand semi
automatic rifles available in the
last four years. These included
the .276 cal. British Emu, which
| the British have discarded in
favor of the FIN; the, United
States T-46. which the United
States has abandoned; the United
States TIA, and the French
MAS.
The Canadian and British
armies now use the 57-year-old
1903 Lee Enfield. an outmoded.
hand-operated weapon which
fires obsolete trimmed cartridges.
It leaves Canadian and British
infantry units weak in firepower.
With it a well trained marks
man can get off 20 aimed shots a
minute. With any of the new
rifles a soldier can fire up to
40 aimed shots a minute in semi
automatic fire.
An additional measure of their
great need for a better basic
weapon is the fact that the Rus
slams, who used the semi-auto-
matte 1893 Romanov and the
1941 Tokarev in World War II,
are reported to have withdrawn
Tokarevs from the crack Soviet
guards regiments and replaced
them with newer rifles.
Simple Mechanism.
In Canada the search for q
new weapon to match the poten-
tial enemy's new rifle finally was
reduced to a choice between the
FIN and The United States T-44.
The FIN is on the verge Of be-
ing chosen not because Of the
cost factor-for rifles are q
minor financial item in Canada's
50 billion plus annual defense ap-
propriation-but because of the
greater simplicity of the mechan-
ism of the FIN.
I'VE must have a rifle simple
enough so a soldier can take it
apart in the field and put it
together again." a Canadian au-
thority told me. "He can do that
with the FIN. But he'd need three
hands to do it with the TIA"
Either rifle is capable Of semi
or full automatic fire at the
option of the man using it. The
Canadian army is interested
mainly in a seniautomatic, for
its experts believe that full auto
matte fire at a rate of $50 rounds
a minute from such a light weap-
on is inaccurate and largely in
effective except under unusual
circumstances.
Small arms experts from the
principal countries of NATO will
meet here next week to put the
final touches to NATO's decision
that the United States. Great
Britain, Canada, France and Bel
GUM will adopt the T-65 cart
ridge which they have renamed
the 7.62 nm.

By GeroId Woring
;peeiul corrospondont Of The Star

Special Correspondent OF The SfoE
OTTAWA, Jan. "a. Canada
will equip its armed forces with
a newly-developed Belgian auto
matte rifle II the weapon proves
satisfactory in field trials to be
held during the next year.
The Canadian minister of ma
tional defense, Brooke Claxton,
told the House of Commons
Thursday that 1000 Of the "Au-
tomato Fabrique Rationale"
rifles had been ordered for the
proposed tests.
He indicated it's extremely
likely the rifle will be accepted
for the Canadian forces. The
government arms company, Ca
madam Arsenals Ltd. will be in
structed ito begin work on the
engineering and industrial lay
outs for the production Of this
weapon. so that no time will be
lost in anticipation of its &C
ceptance," he said.
Also Chosen By England.
Canadian adoption Of the FIN
rifle. as the weapon is COM
monty called, will mean that two
of the "ABC countries" have
standardized on this arm. Prime
Minister Churchill announced in
London earlier in the week that
the FIN had been approved for
the British forces.
Only America in the ABC trio
still hasn't indicated its choice
of a weapon to replace the
semiautomatic Garand. The
latter rifle. which United States
forces have used since 1896, is
considered too heavy at 91a
pounds and too unreliable in
winter.
United States ordnance ex-
perts have developed a rifle
known as the T-44, which is
baSically an improved Garand.
The American choice is believed
to lie between it and the FIN.
The United States Army is re-
liably reported to have ordered
5000 FIN rifles for trials under
all climatic conditions.
Both Britain and Canada had
the same choice. They could
have adopted the T-44, which
was available to them under
agreements within the North At
lantic Treaty Organization, just
as they adopted the United
States 80 caliber T-65 cartridge
as the NATO standard.
Pressure on United States.
Instead Britain adopted the
FIN. and Canada is in process of
doing so. In view Of the great
advantage. in terms of NATO's
problems of logistics and supply,
of ABC agreement on a common
basic infantry weapon, it is be-
heved here that the Anglo-Cana-
dian action will constitute strong
pressure on the United States to
Join in standardizing on the FIN.
The FIN is available for manu.
facture in both Canada and the
United States under license from
the Belgian Fabrique Rationale
Co. which developed it. Prelim-
mary cost estimates based on a
production run of 100000 rifles
indicate the FIN can be manu-
featured in Canada for a little
more than $100 per rifle.
