voted much time to comments
on the lack of unity that was
observed in carrying out the
Old Fashioned Christmas Fes
tival program, on Tuesday
night during his aCrucian Con
fusion hour.
Mr.. James said that ever
since he was in knee pants
he has been hearing about a
town to town issue but urged
the younger generation to get
together. IN the course Of his
talk he said that the program
is not going as well as had
been expected, and called for
a better showing in Christian
sted on January 1.
Although the statements Of
Mr.. James confirmed the re-
port in the AVIS, which was
not only extremely modest
but sympathetic, the editor
was bitterly criticized. How
ever, a detailed report will, if
necessary, be given.
It is worthy Of note that
Mr.. James has handled virtu-
ally publicity for the Festival
and would hardly make COM
ments that were untrue.

opined the speaker.
At the conclusion Of Mrs. Mos
covitz's splendid and inspiring adj
dress, a delicious supper was
served after which the newly
elected officers of the Sisterhood
were installed with appropriate
ceremonies conducted by Rabbi
Nathan Kohen. The new officers
are: President, Mrs. Sammie Hal

Ben Chernoff, Broxton; Secretary,
Mrs. Morris Kusnitz, Alamo;
Treasurer, Mrs. Myer Captain,
Dublin; Parliamentarian, Mrs.

In honor of the speaker, Mrs.
Kaminsky entertained with a
beautiful breakfast at the Lee
Grant Hotel the morning follow
ing which was attended by a
number of sisterhood members.
Also honored at breakfast were
Mr.. and Mrs. David Friedman of
Jacksonville, cousins of Mrs
Kaminsky who were instrument
al in engaging Mrs. Moscovitz to
speak and who accompanied her

The administration decided to
grant military assistance to Iraq
some months ago. This action was

The final meeting of the season
of the Fitzgerald Synagogue Sis

annex of the Synagogue. The
meeting was presided over by the
president, Mrs. Dick Kaminsky.
Minutes were read by Mrs. Robert
Felson, secretary.
The program chairman, Mrs.
Nathan Kohen, then introduced
the speaker of the evening, Mrs.
Isadore Moscovitz of Jacksonville,
columnist for "The Southern Jew

enjoys wide circulation through
out the South.
Mrs. Moscovitz had as her SUBJ
ject, "The Jewish Child and the
Home" thereby concluding the
series used throughout the year
under the title of, ''The Child and
His Development"
Mrs. Moscovitz, a brilliant and
extremely fluent speaker, stressed
the idea that in democracy each
child should be made aware-and
should be taught to be proud Of
his religious background. The
Jewish child should be told that
his faith is different from other
faiths, as indeed, each child, of
whatever faith, learns that his
beliefs differ from others. These
very differences, stressed the

The State Department ordered
the expediting of plans to provide
Egypt with free American NUM-
lions similar to the grant of arms
recently given TO Iraq. The EgYp-

Canal Abdel Nasser has decided
that Egypt will build a powerful

The Egyptian spokesman said it

Israel would be continued and
that the Suez settlement in no

u. S. Arms For E ypt
Endongers Israel
iContinued from Pace u

Official British Government re-
ports have made known the pres
ence in Egypt of former Nazi
officers who are training the
Egyptian Army and Air Force.
Included among these ex-Nazis
are staff officers of Rommers
Afrika Korps who still remember
their 1910 plans for the invasion
of Palestine.
Friends of Israel have made
known their concern in Washing
ton. But top Administration lead
ers have sought to dissuade\ them
with assurances which many find
far from reassuring. The Tripar-
tite Declaration of 1850 has been
cited as a guarantee that the
United States, Great Britain and
France would prevent an Arab
second round" against Israel. But
the Zionist reply is that the Uni
ted States itself violated the tri-
partite agreement by granting
free arms to Iraq, an outspoken
enemy of Israel, while denying
such arms to Israel.
Zionists find it difficult to
understand how Washington is
maintaining a balance of power"
and peaceful equilibrium" by
pouring free munitions into the
Arab states at the same time the
United States refuses to give Is
rael a single rifle out of fear that
the Arabs might be offended.
Secretary Dulles has described the
new policy as one of impartial
ity."
The Republican Administra-
TONS decision to arm Arab dicta-
tors has been criticized by Sen.
William LANCER, chairman of the
Senate Judiciary Committee, him
self a Republican. Charging that
Secretary Dulles "woos dictators,"
Senator LANCER said: consider
the wholly ill-advised jaunt of
Secretary Dulles, symbolized by
his presentation of a nickel-plated
revolver to the Egyptian strong
man, General Naguib, in the name
of the American President,
Dwight Eisenhower. Has not the
world seen the pictures of this
small-time dictator brandishing
this absurd weapon?"
Senator LANCER pointed out that
Egypt did not lift a hand in its
own defense when Rommel threw
his Nazi legions at Cairo and
Alexandria. He noted that Egypt
twas thrown back on its heels by
the unframed regiments of poorly
armed little Israel during the lat
ter's war for independence" The
Senator asked: "can anyone find
in these ill-considered, childlike
actions any justification for faith
in Mr.. Dulles and in the future?"
The State Department appears
determined to win Arab favor, no
matter what the price. It appears
that Israel will be called on to
pay that price. Since the day it
was established in 1913, Israel has
been a democratic state clearly
and firmly aligned with the free
world, and always ready to join
in its defense. Since 1852, Israel
has been pleading for American
Arms aid, so that it might streng-
then itself against aggression from
Russia or any other source. The
United States has rejected Israel's
pleas.
In contrast, the Arab states are
feudal and undemocratic. They

Communism
Topic Of Talk

Population pressure which
breeds social unrest was cited as
the chief reason for the spread
of communism, in an address
last night by Vice Admiral Will
liam Satterlee Pye, U.S.N. retired.
Speaking at the annual BAN
quet of the Daughters of Found
ers and Patriots of America, held
at the Shoreham Hotel, Admiral
Pye declared that Communism
misleads people into believing it
will improve their living condi-
tions by correcting economic
deficiencies.
Democracy cannot, and will
not make such false promises, T"
he said. "The unhappy people to
whom these promises appeal are
too ignorant of economics to un-
deTStand that improvement in
their condition cannot be brought
about by government action.
Having once succumbed to Com
munist control. they are unable
to throw off the paralyzing yoke
which makes them little better
than slaves"

organization, Mrs. Charles Pay
