MALIK WARNS THE ARABS

JERUSALEM, (ZINS) - Ac-
cording to reports from Beirut,
Charles Malik, former LebaneSe
delegate to the United Nations,
warned the Arabs against illu-
sions of destroying Israel and eau
toned them against an alignment
with the Communists. In memo
randum to key Arab leaders, he
stated that it was the extremism
of the Mufti in 1947 which lead to
the Arab defeat. The present ex-
tremism, he warned, may bring
on new catastrophes for the Arab
side. The current Arab game with
the Russians he considers as high
ly dangerous since one day they
may awake to find themselves
prisoners of the Cominform. If
the Arabs continue to look to
Russia for protection he pointed
out, it will cause a reaction
against them in the United States,

WAR OR PEACE?
Israelis Feel Time is Runninq Out

Editors Note: Will the mounting tension in
the Middle East explode into ful-scale war. or is
there still hope for peace? Here is an on-thespot
up-to- minute report from Israel by a veteran
correspondent. Michael Chinigo talked with Is.
rael's top officials and the man-in-the-street He
watched the Israeli armed forces train for battle
and toured the frontline border areas in one Of

BY MICHAEL CHINIGO
JERUSALEM - The government and the peo-
pie of Israel sense that time is running out
Today they say that they are certain of peace
until spring" But if they don't get peace by
spring, then they figure 'it will be war;"
Call it what you will, the next four months will
see an arms race between the Arab nations and
Israel.
The Arabs will try to get supremacy, and Israel
will do its best to keep the supremacy it has en-
joyed the past eight years
If the IsraeliS were asked to choose the time of
war; they would say: 'Let it be today!"
Today they are ready. The seasoned military
viewpoint is that today they could defend their
territory, and after smashing an onslaught they
could very reasonably drive deep into the lands
now under Arab banners.
Why then, does not Israel attack?
The answer, Israeli officials point out, is simple
preventive war has not been part of 1sraels
planning these past eight years.
Neither David Ben-Gurion- -IsraelS 'iron pre-
mier'-nor Moshe -Sharrett-the premier of COM
promise"-remotely expected the 1949 armistice to

Eban To Open Atlanta Exhibit

United States at the Atlanta meet.
The purpose of the exhibition
is to publicize the enthusiastic
and valuable use to which re-
search materials of the Hebrew
University, the Israel Institute of
Technology and the Weizmann
Institute of Science have been
put, in order that other workers
in the scientific world may know
OF the variety of problems tackled
by scientists in Israel. Reprints of
over 1000 scientific papers have
therefore been collected, covering
agriculture, engineering, medi-
cine and the natural sciences.
They have appeared in various
journals all over the world. and
this represents the first attempt at
a complete survey of the work
being done in Israel.

last until this late date
Right after the armistice, Israers top-rankng
officials say they made plans to reduce the Army
to the insignificant role and strength of an internal
police force
They say it was only with each passing year
and each alleged Arab violation of the armistice
that they had to develop plans to bolster their
defenSeS.
ACCENT ON DEFENSE
The accent always has been on defense because
there always was the hope of peaceful settle
ment the Israelis say.
And to that waning hope, the Israelis say they
still cling today.
Since the recent fighting in the Ell Auja or
"Nitzana" demilitarized border zone Israel has
been in "State of alert"
Until the spring deadline for peace or war"
the Israelis may be expected to undertake "puni-
tive reprisals of limited scope" directing their
counter-blows against any Arab nation which may
undertake harassing tactics along the tense from
tier
The surprise factor is key to such action, and
the embattled GAIA strip is now building up as
such reprisal area.
The military look stareS one in the face time
and again on tour of the apparently-peaceful and
industrious Israeli countryside.
The military takes on definite shape on a trip
from north to south, or from west to east-from
Haifa to Jerusalem to Elat on the Red Sea at the
southern. tip of the barren Negev desert.

The broadcast was in answer to

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED sEGAL
SPEECH IN CHURCH


I have a date and problem. The
date: ! have been asked TO speak
at a Christmas dinner in a Metho-
dist church Of our town. The
problem: What shall Jew talk
about at a Christmas dinner in a
church? I've been thinking much
On that the last few weeks and I
believe ! have the answer. / shall
read them this column. II will be
ike handling two birds with one
stone: A column and a speech in
one: Time-saving. labor-saving!
1 shall thank these Methodists
not only for inviting me to be
with them at Christmas time but
also for their fine understanding
Of the social and spiritual mean
ing Of Christmas. Their invitation
suggests that they don't think of
me, who am of another religion,
as someone foreign to the ideal
ism of the Christmas season. They
seem to know of me as a person
who doesn't think of himself as a
stranger to people of other reli-
gionS.
AS all know who regularly read
this Jewish column of mine. I
think of Christmas as religious
kinsmen of mine in the Judaeo-
Christian concept. They and we
are at separate altar but our es.
sential meaning is about the same.
We seem apart only by reasons of
issues that our theologians have
set up between US.
We :. Jews and Christians . +.
are as one in the idea of what
being a good man really is all
about. And as I, as well as many
Christians believe, to teach good
ness in all the ways is the main
end of all religions. In goodness
we reflect God in whose image
we were created. Not that all
Jews and Christians behave as. if
We understood this essence of
their respective religions.
I know Jews who though they
may be regular in the synagogue.
don't live by the teaching given
In the Old Testament the
Commandments and the Prophets.
know Christians who may be in
church on Sunday but whose
daily lives are far below the Ser.
mon on the Mount.
Yes, Christian and Jew have in
herited the same ethical and
spiritual teaching, and God, the
Father, keeps patiently waiting
on us to try to live by it, though
the thousands of years have pass
ed since it was given. I like
Christmas because in that season
a lot of people who haven't meas
ured up to the height OF the Ser
mon try to behave somewhat as II
they stood on the summit OF the
Mount.
With these words shall start
my speech to the Methodists at
their Christmas dinner. ! am sure
none Of them will find heresY in
me for saying this in their church.
I have always thought that this
idea Of the essential unity OF re-
Eqions is in the Christian and
Jewish concept. or should be. And

Hunting Demands
Much For Success
BY DION HENDERSON
AP Newsfeatures

What do you need besides your
native wit and ingenuity TO be-
come a better hunter?
Plenty. Let's face it. If the av-
erage man, at best an occasional
visitor TO the wild community, had
to pit his craft against game birds
and aninrals on an equal footing
to survive, he'd soon become an ex-
pert On eggs and little else.
The quickest path to better hunt
ing-both in the sense OF putting
more game in your pocket and
having more fun in the pr ,cess
is the path that leads to a mother
hunting dog with family of pup
pies.
It's almost impossible to over
emphasize the value of treaty
between the hunter and the dog.
In small game, upland bird and
waterfowl hunting, the efficient
dog long ago ceased being lux
ury. He's as necessary as the gun.
And III you are interested IN the
food return from hunting, consid-
er this: A man with a good re-
triever can have more game in
hand after a half-hour on any
heavily-hunted public shooting area
than the best gunned wing shot
legally can in day.
In waterfowl hunting, the re-
trieving dog means the difference
between three birds in the bag and
eight or nine for each 10 hit in
flight. In upland bird hunting. the
pointing dog means the difference
between long and fruitless walk
and a pleasant day of finding at
least most of the birds that hid a
long the way. And to the lover of
rabbit stew, no siren sings a sweet

The smooth bore was invented for
waterfowling and wing shooting.
1t can be used on squirrels and
rabbits, too, and although it's not
the sportiest way in the world to
take such game, it's fine if you
take them on the run.
The squirrel experts, however,
swear by the small bore rifle

range of models, or hand-loaded
swifties in small bores that double
as varmint guns during off season.
A shotgun can be made to do for
such game as deer, bear and tur-

when you're firing at anything but
point blank range. The big-gan

gives pretty fair accuracy up to

just about what's listed above for

to start out with, or you can get
as fancy as you like.

Choice OF Laxness As
Literary Nobel Prize
Winner Popular In Sweden

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 1, Thy
airmaiD - The Swedish Acade-
my's decision to award the 1855
Nobel Prize in literature to the
Icelandic author Halldor Laxness
has been warmly received in Swe-
den. Laxness' name has often fig
ured in the Nobel Prize discussion,
but his so-called radicalism is sup
posed to have stood in the way.
The papers agree that this years
award has been given to a power
full and original writer, adding
that it also implies salute to one
of the worlds smallest nations,
which through a thousand years
has maintained its culture indom-
itably Towering. In making the
award, the Swedish Academy cited
Laxness' vivid epic writing, which
has renewed the great Icelandic
narrative art"
Laxness' art irnpresses chiefly
by its scope and it's spontaneous
inventiveness, said Dr.. Anders Os-
terling, permanent secretary of the
Academy and one of Sweden s
foremost poets, in a radio address.
TT cannot be denied that his
Marxist conviction, regardless of
how sincere ii may be, often leads
to anachronistic viewpoints which
hurt and distort the perspective
The overall impression, however,
is determined by his phenomenal
storyteller's art He has, more
over, regenerated his Icelandic
mother tongue and made it a sens
tive instrument of artistic Great
iveness." "Svenska Dagbladet"
writes that the Icelanders are, be-
You'd comparison, the greatest
readers in the world. Their book
production, in proportion to popu-
lation, is much larger than any
other nations. In this modern
literature LaXness holds the lead
ing position. He is also the one
who has the strongest information

Large Attendance

About 10000 students are now

and specialized graduate schools.
In ten years the number will have
increased to at least $4,000 and
possible 10000, according to Rag
mar Edenman, Under Secretary of
the Department of Education. In
addition to the ancient UNIVERSE
ties of Upsala and Lund, founded
in 1477 and 1868 respectively, Swe-
den has two newer institutions of
the same type, in Stockholm and
Gothenburg. A fifth university is
now needed, according to Mr.. Ed
enman, and it is quite possible that
it will be placed in one of the nor
them provinces. Today, there is
no institution of higher learning
north of Upsala, which is located
far south of Sweden's geograph-
ical center. In the northern half
of the country. however, live only

of the Swedish people.

Donaldson Dead

Arthur Donaldson, veteran Swe-
dish-American stage and screen
actor, died recently in a Long Is
land hospital at the age of SO.
Virtually unknown to present-day
theatre goers, Donaldson, who was
born in Norsholm In Sweden, was
the toast of Broadway at the turn
Of the century. After having won
his acting spurs in America with
various touring companies, he
was picked in 1908 by Henry w.
Savage to play the leading role in
the operetta The Prince of Pill
sen," which ran uninterruptedly
for more than 1000 times at the
Broadway Theatre in New York,
a record which remained unbrok-
en- for many years. The play was
also shown in other places, and
Donaldson appeared in the part a
total of 1.345 times. He is also
credited by DR.. Lee de Forest, the
electronic inventor, with having
produced, directed and played
five roles in the first talking mo-
ton picture, "Retribution," back
in 1925.

OSLO. - Discovery of new til
tanium-rich ilmenite deposits, esti-
mated to contain over 100 million
tons of ore, was recently reported
by Titan Co. AIS, chief Norwegian
producer of titanium dioxide. The
new deposits are located near the
companies shipping port in the
southwestern Jessingfjord. Most
of the ilmenite is accessible for
open-pit mining.
With the newly found resources,
the Norwegian company is plan
ming to expand its annual produc-
ton of ilmenite concentrate from
1000 tons to some 100000 tons.
Norway today supplies about 1867
of teh total world production.
The main problem is to develop
an economical refining process.
Towards that end, Titan will build
an experimental plant in tossing
