answer to this conflict in the form
of arms, but that would only be a
temporary answer that would come
with a changing of shields and
swords. The victor would only live
to fight another day for the same
cause whoever the victor might be
or whatever his cause might be.
It may seem as a pebble cast up
on giant pond from whose con-
tact ripples would go, but I must
cast this pebble as my thought at
those who labor with this problem
live the words forged within the
lands the problem embraces-"To
love the Lord our God with all our
heart, with all our souls, with all
our strength, and with all our mind
and our neighbor as ourselves"
OF COURSE, I know that APP
proach would not be acceptable in
the halls of diplomacy today with
a goddess common enemy, but as I
leave the troubled Middle East my
first approach is of that nature.
AS I settle down to the task of
thinking over this problem might
come up with something that rat
ties of the material, that will be
expedient, that will placate both
sides. But I suspect that the very
answer to this constant question
lies in the hearts of men and not
in their guns.

1854 Merger
S+reamIines
Aid
BY BEN TOUSTER
Copyright, 1855,

JEWISH AeIeSTdpnlC agency AnCsJ
1t is just a year since the single,
Jewish worldwide migration organ
ization, United Has Service, was
formed by the merger of HAS,
USNA, and the migration services
of JDC.
It will have its effect in all parts
Of the world, wherever a Jew is to
be found homeless, uprooted, or
prosecuted.
One might well ask after this
first year, "Has the merger been
successful? To what extent have
the goals been achieved? What has
been accomplished in this initial
period?"
IN MY OPINION, the merger has
been eminently successful. While
no one responsible for the merger
expected the goals to be fully
achieved in the first year, almost
all have been accomplished.
1. A better and more efficient
service has been developd at lower
cost.
2. The total services, staffs, and
resources have been integrated in
to one single, unified, global organ
iZation to meet the problems of
the homeless.
8. ALL duplication and overlap
ping in the functions of the three
predecessor organiatiopzs have
been completely eliminated.
4. The wasteful, duplicating, and
competing representations to gov
ernmental and intergovernmental
agencies all over the world are no
more. These complicated our re-
lationships at time when the in
ternational situation calls for the
most effective liaison possible.
5. More effective migration and
resettlement planning is now being
achieved by utilizing the best fea-
lures and most competent person
mel of each of the predecessor
agencies.
TO BE MORE specific, the or
ganiZation has been streamlined.
Staff has been reduced in the
United States from 100 to 100. In
Europe, where more duplication ex-
listed, offices have been reduced
from 33 to 81 and the staff from
ITO to 121.
Expenditures have been reduced
from an annual rate of $2,700, 900 to
a budget of some $2,5O0,0OO for 1855.

JERUSALEM (SpeciaD - While
leaders of Morocco's 100000 Jews
debated the naming of Jewish
representative to the newly formed
Moroccan cabinet, shooting warfare
erupted along a new front in Israel.
Israeli troops, in a four-pronged
repriSal attack across an 8-mile
stretch of the Syrian border, blew
up four Syrian outposts overlook
ing the Sea of Galilee and then
withdrew.
Israel claimed the killing of SIS
Syrian soldiers and capture of 20
others with the loss of four Is
raelis plus IL wounded.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1955-12-16

THE NIGHTTIME attack under
cover of fog accomplished the mis-
sion of knocking out the outposts
which Israel claimed fired on four
fishing boats and a police launch.
The attacks were near the outlet
of the Jordan River into the Sea
of Galilee and in the Kursi Naquart
and Beth Habeq areas.
Two detachments were dis
patched to block possible Syrian
reinforcementS while the main
forces attacked the outpoStS, Israel
sources said.
The Israel Foreign Ministry as

Letter TO Editor
Senator Thrills
At Israel Spirit

Following is letter to the
News by US. Sen. Barry Gold
water of Arizona, describing his
recent visit to Lsrael.)
We left Tel-Aviv an hour or so
ago and before time denies me the
pleasure of writing you, I want to
comment very briefly on several
matters all of which we can dis
cuss at our leisure when we meet
again.
First Israel is a thrilling and re-
assuring experience. Forget the
spiritual thrill of Biblical cloSeness
forget the names we have grown
UP with which have guided our
lives as we have done right and
which have chastised us when we
have done wrong-look only at a
new country peopled with ambition
and youth, with the serenity of age
injected into the veins of a new
body, that body bursting with the
NlSOI t41dI 1lldQC Jul VOOV o4tCL ~
had established our country.
LOOK AT THIS and one comes
away hopeful. I saw it in the
farms of the Negev clear down
through Beersheba to the Dead
Sea. I saw it in young faces whose
plows turned the rich soil under
the noses of Egyptian guns at GAIA.
I saw it everywhere I looked.
I feel this hope, but under it is
a problem that is frightening be-
cause of the seeming impossible
ties of solving it and doing it right.
This aspect had me worried be-
fore. Now add perplexion to the
worry.
L TALKED with Egyptians-with
Arabs and with JewS-with people
and with the leaders of these peo-
pie, and from all comes the word
of peace but the actions of war.
Frankly, I, at the moment, see
no course open by which our coun-
try can aid in the solution of this
vexing situation. Yet I know that
some place there is an answer. I
don't think now that, it rests within
us entirely but within the hearts
of all people who proclaim desire
for peace.
THE ANSWER-thec complete an
swer-rests in the goodness of the
people of the world, not it's leaders.

Backs Lehman Bill

WASHINGTON (JTA) - Gov. G.
Mennen Williams of Michigan has
urged the adoption of the Lehman
Mcnamara bill now before Con-
gress to replace the McCarran-
Walter immigration and Nationality
Act.
Williams told a senate immigra-
ton subcommittee that the bill by
Senator's Lehman and Mcnamara
would, among other things, elimi-
nate the second class citizenship
which the McCarran-Walter Act
sets up.
Williams said that present laws
"affront many of our citizens and
many foreign countries, including
some of the best of our friends
and allies" by distinguishing be-
tween immigrants by country of
