ISRAEL TO TAKE
100000 MORE
REFUGEE JEWS

NEW YORK (JTA)-Israel will
admit in the next 10 months to-
tai of 100000 Jewish refugees from
behind the Iron Curtain, Egypt and
North Africa, the largest wave of
immigration in any single year
since 1949, DR.. Dow Joseph, the
newly appointed treasurer of the
Jewish Agency, announced.
He said that the transfer and
absorption of these refugees would
cost $40O, O,00O,O GOO, half of which will
be spent in next 10 months. The
remainder will be spent in the sue
ceeding year or two.
DR.. Joseph said that 5000 immi-
grants a month were expected from
East European countries, 1900
monthly from Egypt, and 1000
monthly from North Africa. An
other 10000 this year are expected
from diverse danger areas.
DR.. Joseph came to this country
to consult with American Jewish
leadership on the implementation

whether the GAIA Strip again be-
comes a fedayeen base and over
the issues of Suez Canal control and
innocent passage through the canal
and the Strait of Tiran. If appease-
ment of Nasser continues, can
American influence be upheld by
the hollow Eisenhower Doctrine
and trite pronouncements against
Communism?
The State Department has been
telling its pet reporters "off the
record" it is really Israel, rather
than Egypt, which is responsible
for Russia'S entry into the Middle
East. The line is that Israers mil
itancy drove NaSser toward Mos
cow. Nasser is described as actu-
ally much more reasonable than he
sounds. Allegedly, he is still only
speaking for internal consumption.
If Nasser falls, according to these
experts" Egypt would be taken
over outright by the Soviets.
THE NEW YORK Times said ed
itorially that NasSer's conduct since
ISrael'S withdrawal is beginning
to evoke uncomfortable memories
of Munich and Yalta."
Israel Withdrew because it de-
cided to put its trust in President
EiSenhower'S sense of justice. The
President had assured Israel Prime
Minister Ben Gurion, Israel will
have no reason to regret" its deci-
sion. But no sooner were Israel
troops off the GAIA Strip than Is
rael had great cause for regret.
A conclusion of some of the Els
enhower-Dulles policy is that Wash
ington may continue trying to buy
Nasser away from Russia. This
would be done, if need be, at the
expense of Israel. Should a new
clash result from fedayeen provo
cations and renewed maritime
blockade, the United States may
again find an excuse to defend
NaSser.

Jun Secretary
To Address
AJC Banquet
BY BORIS SMOLAR
Copyright, 1857, JTA Inc.)

United Nations Secretary General
Dag HammarSkjold will make his
first appearance at a Jewish gath
ering when he addresses the 50th
anniversary meeting of the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee. He will be
the principal guest speaker at the
banquet which the AJC will give
April 13 to mark a half century of
it's existence.
Events that will precede the din
ner will determine whether he will
touch on the Arab-ISrael issue in
his address to the Jewish leaders.
His main theme, for the time be-
ing, is built upon an examination
of human rights principles which
have emerged in the past half CEN
tury.
THE AMERICAN Jewish Com
mittee will accept a new policy
statement ON Israel and other mat
ters of Jewish interest. 1t will re-
examine its stand, as set forth in
1949, in the light of major events
in the past eight years.
One of the sessions at the meet
ing will be devoted to Americas
Middle East policy. The principal
speaker appraising this policy will
be Joseph E. Johnson, president of
the Carnegie Endowment for In
ternational Peace.
THE PROSPECTS for improved
Arab-Israen understanding will be
analyzed in the light of Americas
stake in the Middle East. The
prospects for a settlement of the
Arab refugee problem, as well as
for eventual Arab-ISrael. economic
cooperation will also be reviewed in
the same light.
Naturally, the problems facing
American Jewish communities will
also occupy good deal of atten-
ton at the three-day meeting.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1957-03-29

There is strong possibility that
we will reach and perhaps exceed
the 1948 figure when all of the re-
turns are in," commented Executive
Director Hirsh Kaplan. "As it is
the community members, for the
most part, have responded gener-
ously to the 1857 appeal. Unlike
previous years, every division of
the campaign has registered a sub
stantial increase. The workers have
done an inspired job and have
proved that it is possible to raise
upwards of $150,000 in the commun-
ity."
THE CAMPAIGN returns show
$43 ,2O5 for the Emergency Rescue
Fund against $10,314 last year and
$111.720 for the Welfare Fund
agaianst $98,315 last year. This
years giving is so percent greater
than the average raised since 1913.
In relating the amount raised
with the campaign goal, Harold AL
pert, Jewish Community Council
president, said, This year we have
had some of the best work done
by solicitors we have ever had. We
have used campaign techniqueS that
had not been used previously which
we have made available to other
communities in the country who
are presently employing them just
as We developed them.
EVERY ACTION taken has been
the result of long and hard think
ing among a group of leaders who
were in the campaign cabinet. This
has not been a sone-man campaign
in any sense of the phrase but con-
tinuously the result of joint think
ing.
"Of course, we are not happy that
we did not reach our goal. Goals
are important because they reflect
valid needs. But we tried hard and
by and large did a good job and
raised a sum of money that need
not make us ashamed when the re-
suits across the country are finally
tabulated."

IsraeIiVisi+or
Gains
In Sinai Drive

An initial wave of sharp disap-
pointment among ISraelis when
their government withdrew its
troops from the GAIA Strip has
been tempered by the realization
of two major gains won in the
Sinai campaign:
l. Both the myth of Egyptian mill
tary power and what strength
Egypt's army did possess were
broken.
2. Worldwide realization of the
great provocation by Egyptian COM
mando raids on Israel and the
truth of how NaSSer does business.
THIS VIEW OF Israeli public
opinion was presented by William
Alderman of Haifa, Israel, who ar
rived here last week for the bar
mitzvah of his nephew, Richard
Anderman. Richard is the son of
the Israeli's brother, DR.. Lorenz
Alderman.
"Israelis feel GAIA is theirs, that
they had reclaimed it," the visitor
said. "The general feeling at first
was disappointment that the sacri-
flces they made to clear out the
fedayeen was for naught, but they
know Prime Minister Ben Gurion
would never have withdrawn ex-
cept under great political pressure
and on the advice of Israel's
friends, the French"
'TT WAS NOT the Arab farmer
across the border who was making
trouble" he asserted. "MoSt often

wove a rope of assumptions, as
cended it like Hindu Yogis, and
then looked down. There was
nothing supporting them. That Is
a view of the now-dispelled illusion
of guarantees and pledges under
which Israel withdrew its forces.
Influential senators are marshal
ling facts to prove that President
Eisenhower and Secretary of State
Dulles gave them to understand
that IsraelS withdrawal was ac-
companied by positive assurances.
These were pledges that Egypt
would not return to the GAIA Strip
and would not again molest Israel
shipping.
THERE WAS skepticism among
senator's over the sequence that
would follow Israeli withdrawal. It
is now felt on Capitol Hill that such
fear was fully justified.
One senator said all along that
negotiating with Secretary Dalles
was like wrestling with a moon
beam" Voiced in congressional
cloakrooms is a growing belief that
the Israelis were "led down the
garden path"
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon
Johnson holds that in return for
withdrawal, IsraeliS are entitled to
peace on their borders and peace
full commerce" To deny these, he
said, is to grant Egyqt's Nasser ga
military victory which his armies
did not win"
JOHNSON SAID that America
took the lead in persuading Israel
to withdraw If President EiSen-
hover now acquieSceS to NaSSer'S
actions, 1--WE will lose the worlds
confidence"
Important press elements are
saying openly that Israel was de-
ceived by the United States on its
withdrawal assumptions. Drew
Pearson reported in his nationally
syndicated column that "you can't
escape the conclusion" that Israel
'fhas been given one of the biggest
double-croSSeS of modern d1plo-
macy"
Pearson wrote that one day after
the withdrawal, when it was too
late for Israel to backtrack, Secre-
tary Dulles told his press confer
ence that President Eisenhower's
letter did not mean what the Is
raelis thought it meant, that he
did not endorse all of Mrs. Meir's
assumptions"
JOSEPH ALSOP, commenting on
Egypt's return to the GAIA Strip,
referred to "phony American prom
iSes which are now being broken in
record time"
Walter Lippmann wrote that
NaSSer now thinks the United
States Twill not only refuse to CO.
cree him but will in fact appease
him." Lippmann said, I'VE put all
our pressure on Britain, France,
and Israel. We put no pressure on
NaSSer :"
According to Lippmann, "our pol

and the United States are obligated
to use their good offices to settle
the Arab refugees in the GAIA
Strip, without which a permanent
Middle East peace cannot be
drawn.
"THEY CAN DO this" he assert
ed, "by giving aid only to those
refugees who will be resettled on
a permanent basis and by with
holding aid from those being used
by the Arab governments to make
trouble"
Alderman believes Israel has
ample means of keeping the Gulf
of Aqaba open to shipping but
''the world now must surely see
how important Aqaba is as an al
ternate to the Suez Canal-impor
tant to both Israel and the entire
Western World"
