PRESIDENT EISENHOWER
said of Albert Einstein that he
"exemplified the mighty creative
ability of the individual in a free
society,"" and added that mo
other man contributed so much to
the vast expansion of Goth century
knowledge"
For the past % years." said the
President, "the United States has
been the freely-chosen home of AL
bert Einstein. For Is years he has
been a citizen of the United States
by his own free and deliberate
choice. Americans welcomed him
here. Americans were proud, too,
that he sought and found here a
climate of freedom in his search
for knowledge and truth"
And yet it is alarming but true
that under our present law Einstein
might have been denied entry to
the United States.
The McCarran-Walter Immlgra-
ton Act is shockingly discrimina-
tory, and the present administra-
ton is committed to it's revision.
Instead, however, it accepted the
Refugee Relief Act of 1858, which
should have allowed entry to 209,-
600 refugees up to January, 1855.
The actual figure has proven to be
14,1O6!
To expedite the program, Ed
ward J. Corsi, "the best man for
the job in the United States" was
hired by Secretary of State Dulles.
But within 80 days-having run
afoul of Security Chief R. w. Scott
Mcleod, Rep. Francis E. Walter
and others-he was summarily dis
missed.
There are powerful forces sabo-
tagging the refugee relief program.

having offered a climate of free.

Debbie Metz uOIIl passing q
Palestine resolution. 1t was pro-
Arab declaration, voted for most
reluctantly by Burma and India
only after the insertion of a phase
calling for a peaceful solution in
Palestine.
1t is a vague and rather inef-
fectual statement, making use once
again of the Arab propaganda gim-
mick: implementation of United
Nations resolutions. BY this they
mean, of course, that they cannot
make peace with Israel until she
shrinks her borders to the area
defined by the 1947 UN resolution
partitioning Palestine.
If Israel had been represented
at that gathering, she would have
reminded the assembly that it was
the Arabs who destroyed that very
UN resolution, by refusing to ac-
cept the establishment of Israel,
and by waging aggressive war
against her.
They lost the war. And then
the resolution they had fought to
destroy began to look very good
to them. But it was too late, and
the tide of history could not be
turned.
If, however, they are looking for
UN resolutions to uphold, we might
refer them to:
1. A July, 1948 resolution charg-
ing the Arabs with aggression.
2. A Nov, 1948 resolution ac-
cepting the present boundaries
of Israel and the Arab states.
8. A Dec, 1948 resolution ask
ing both sides to extend the arm
istices agreements into q final
peace settlement without refer
ence to the original partition
resolution.
4. A Dec, 1850 resolution ask
ing for the integratiOn of Arab
refugees into the economies of
their host countries.
5. A Sept, 1851 resolution call
ing on Egypt to stop her block
ade of Israel in the SueZ Canal.
All of these directives will be
implemented gladly by Israel. She
might even be willing to go back
to the 1947 resolution, if Jordan
and Egypt would consent to with
draw to their pre-1948 boundaries
and establish the non-Israeli areas
of Palestine as a separate unit in
economic union with Israel.
This is all part of the original
partition resolution, but it receives
very little publicity. The Arab
states choose to ignore it.
Unless they are willing to fol-
low this directive in it's entirety,
let them cease their hypocritical
talk of UN resolutions. Let them
face up honestly to reality, and ac-
cept Israel as a neighbor and

Safety Council Notes

bike riding or walking, be
bright at night"
Reynolds dupont, President Of
the Delaware Safety Council gave
this advice today to Delaware's
WALKERS and cyclists as he warned
of the hazards Of night traffic.
Mr.. DUPONT spoke in support Of
the night traffic hazards program
being conducted this month by the
Delaware Safety Council and the
National Safety Council.
Il mean be bright in two ways,
he explained. First Of all be bright
literally. For pedestrians this means
illuminate yourself with white,
light-colOred or reflectOrized cloth
ing or carry a fashlight or a piece
of relectorized material. For cycl-
lists it means Illuminating both BIZ
cycle and rider. The bike should
have a good head light and tail
light and should also be trimmed
with white or refiectorized mate
rial"
The second way in which both
pedestrians and cyclists must be
bright is mentally, he said. He
warned that many pedestrians and
bicycle riders meet their deaths in
night traffic accidents because Of
carelessness.
ITO stay safe, obey all traffic
laws and always assume that the
driver can't see you," he said.
"Never cross a street or highway
unless you are absolutely certain
you have ample time to reach the
other side in complete safety"
Mr.. dupont said the proper place
for walkers is on the sidewalk
When there are no sidewalks, Pc
destrians should walk on the left
shoulder of the road facing traffic.
Cyclists should ride on the right
side Of the road, with traffic.
People over 65, because their re-
actions are usually slow and their
eyesight or hearing may be inn
I paired, are particularly vulnerable
in night traffic, he said.
eff you're an Oldster, don't ven
ture out in traffic alone at night,
he advised. "REMEMBER, DARK
NESS HIDES DANGER, PLAY 1T
SAFE!"
