Behind the scenes at the United
Nations proposal is now being
studied for Transforming part of
the Sinai Desert into a neutral state
to be owned by the United Nations
Organization. The project has been
advanced with view of establish
ing a buffer between Egypt and
Israel by purchasing part of Sinai
from Egypt for a high price.
1t is thought that United Ma
tions offer to purchase the desert
territory might prove attractive to
the Egyptian Government which
could use the funds for the devel-
opment of it's cherished Aswan
Dam plan.
THE PROPOSAL sounds fantas-
tic to many, but others believe that
it merits more than passing conSid-
Grafton.
The total area of the projected
Independent "State" would be about
100000 acres of the 10000, 900 acres
which compose the Sinai Desert. 1t
is assumed that possibly 1000, 900
acres of this territory could be

INDEPENDENT
ZIONIST UNIT
TO ORGANIZE

NEW YORK-Plans to form a
new organization, an integral part
Of the World Zionist Organization
but without affiliation or identifi-
cation with any political party in
Israel, were announced by Judge
Louis E. Levinthal of Philadelphia.
A statement of policy released
this week announces a national con-

Levinthal is serving as provisional
committee chairman of the new
group. The committee Is operating
under the name of Independent
ZioniSts of America with offices at
200 w. 57th ST., New York City.
The new groups policy statement
refers to the decision of the World
Zionist Organizations recent Jeru-
salem congress "to enlist the sup
port of all friends of Israel by pro-
viding for the integration of nom
party Zionist groups in the Zionist
movement"

The Jewish Youth Council, CO.
ordinating group for all Jewish
teenage organizations in Phoenix,
will climax its participation in the
1857 United Jewish Welfare Fund
campaign with mass meeting of
teenagers at 8 pm. Feb. 4.
The meeting at the Jewish Com
munity Center, arranged by COM
mittee headed by Norman Marcus,
will feature adult and youth speak
ers, a movie, and distribution Of
campaign pledge cards.
William Nuremberg, Youth Coun-
Gil president, said the council will
also conduct programs and solicita-
ton among Phoenix religious
schools. Glorianne Engel, council
vice president, heads a committee
which will arrange for program
dates with rabbis and heads Of

gogues.

rendered cultivable by developing
reservoirs and cisterns. 8
When it is borne in mind that
the total area of Israel without the
Negev is less than 100000 acres
and that Israels holdings in the
barely cultivable Negev are only
slightly greater, the scope of settle
ment in the proposed "state" be-
comes apparent.
THUS, SUCH a "state" would not
only serve the useful purpose of
being a buffer between Egypt and
Israel, but could also help to solve
the Arab refugee problem. PaleS-
tine refugees could be settled there
and would receive all the benefits
of a UN administration which
would have the means of reclaim
ing an area even greater than that
cultivable today in Israel.
Proponents of the project also
point out that in its own state, the
United Nations could establish
headquarters for its international
Police Force and possibly create an
international air center.
1t could thus, take any steps
from there it might consider ad-

will be withheld from the rescue
fund.
THE URGENCY of the rescue
fund was brought home by the
rabbinical memorandum, which ci-
ted press reports "about large
scale confiscation of Jewish prop
erty Gin Egypt, Of the debarring Of
Jews from the livelihoodS within
the learned professions, of the fir
ing of Jews from their Jobs in vari-
Gus branches Of Egyptian COM
merce and industry, and of an on
going campaign Of internment and
deportation; in sum, a policy cal
culated to create fear and such
conditions that the Jews of Egypt
cannot possibly survive as a COM
munity."
The rabbis urged that the q. s.
condemn violations of human rights
and freedom in Egypt, that the
president remind the government
of Egypt that the u. N. Charter,
with it's guarantees of human
rights, applies to Jews as well as to
all other people in Egypt" and
that the government relax immi-
grafton barriers to provide a haven
for the refugees.
NEW PHOENIX campaign pro-
cedures include the suggested gift
being mailed to contributors and
publications of campaign gifts as
the drive progresses.
Rosenzweig, campaign co-chair-
man, asserted, "It Is not easy to
assess the giving responsibilities OF
members of the community. The
chances are we have assessed some
givers too low. But if every giver
will make a sincere effort to con-
tribute what has been suggested as
his fair share, We will raise our
quota and face each other with a
clear conscience"

Ivisable to assure the transportation

the Suez Canal not be internation-

THE PROJECTED Sinai state
would, under the present proposal
be bounded on the north by the
Mediterranean from GAIA to the
town of FL Arish, on the east by

However, one has to be quite an
optimist to believe that the project

THE CONFERENCE on Jewish
Material Claims Against Germany
which held its annual session in
New York this week, has acquired
an enviable reputation during the
three years of it's existence.
Its present session marked the
unity which has developed among
all major Jewish organizations in
all the free countries of the world.
1t is the only central Jewish body
that can boast that it has among
its member organizations all rep
resentative groups in the world.
WITH THE multi-purposed allo-
cations distributed by the confer
ence from reparations received
from Germany, some 10000 Jewish
victims of Nazi persecution have
been aided.
This year about 400 Jewish organ
izationS from 80 countries have sub
mitted requests for allocating run
ming in excess of $30,0O0,O0O. This
is about three times as much sum
as the conference is able to meet.
One of the greatest achievements
of the Conference is the legal aid
it is giving to individual Jewish
claimants to secure compensation
and recovery of property under the
German restitution laws.
ABOUT $25,OOO,OOO was received
last year from Germany by 1ndi-
viduals with the legal aid of the
United Restitution Organization
which the conference finances.

Large slab patios, covered

with the number Of new homes
now being built on slabs. this
trend underscores the impor.
lance of proper reinforcement.
Tests have shown that a con-

as 80 per cent stronger when
1t is properly reinforced.
The mistake of emitting such
reinforcing in a slab under a

cases Of houses being pulled
apart by cracked, settling OF

difficulty Of repairs when the

loss in property value.
