more hope for favorable de-
velopments in the Near East.
Mr.. Klutznick called at the
state department to discuss
the Arab-Israel situation IN
the light of the planned Brit
ish withdrawal from the Suez
Canal zone.
According to reports pub
lished in London by the Daily
Telegraph, Israel, in a series
of five notes it has already
sent the British foreign Of
flee on the Suez Canal situa-
ton, seeks assurance that the
final settlement between. the
British and Egypt will include
an agreement for Britain to
evacuate it's heavy military
equipment from the Canal
zone, its aircraft and its ra-
dar installations.
The paper asserted that Is
rael is especially insistent on
removal of the Fayid radar
installations which control
aircraft movements on the
Haifa route.
In Cairo, Major Salah Sa-
lem, Egyptian minister of ma
tional guidance, published a
pamphlet to explain" the
terms of the British-Egyptian
Suez Canal zone agreement
initiated last month. Accord
ing to this source the agree
ment does not permit British
reactivation of the Suez bases
if a "non-Middle East power
should attack Israel, or "it
Israel attacks any of the
Arab League states"
According to Major Salem
the stipulation against Brit
ish reactivation of the bases
ain the event of an attack
from Israeli is part of the
agreement, but the statement
does not appear in the pub
hshed text of the agreement
Meanwhile, Lieut.. Col. Ga
NAL Abdel Nasser, the Egyp
ton premier, asserted there
was no prospect of an Arat
attack against Israel. He said
however, that there was NJ
possibility Of any change il
Egypt's attitude towards Is
rael until the Jewish State i'm

Governor McKeldin warn
ed that Communism will
make political capital by fish
ing in the troubled waters"
of the Middle East. "If Com
munism spreads into the

but by the exploitation of the
abysmal degradation an d
poverty of the Arab masses.

Urging the delegates mot
to become discouraged by talk
of a so-called new policy of
'impartiality' in our state de-
partment," Gov. McKeldin
said: There may be some
who have been urging this
policy as a cloak for an un-

however. that our secretary

Youth AIiyah
A comprehensive program
for transfer to Israel of the
100000 Jews living under the
threat of renewed anti-JeWish
outbreaks by Arab eXtrem-

lined to the convention by
| Moske KOl, world chairman
of the Youth Aliyah move
ment. He told delegates that
Jews in Morocco, Tunisia and
Tangier "are living in a tin

Hadassah to make available
additional funds to enable
Youth Aliyah to undertake i'm
mediately the removal to Is
rael of one child from each
Jewish family in North Afri-
