The World Over

that it would be impossible to take
them all back :.
"The fact is that the Arab states
have for 10 years used the PaleS-
tinian refugees as political host
ages in their struggle with Israel.
AS a matter of concerned policy,
these people have been kept penned
up in the camps in conditions of
wretched hopelessness in order to
embarrass Israel before the eyes
of the world ;.
"HUMAN LIVES cannot be left
to remain as mere political pawnS;
world opinion must force dispersal
and reSettlement of these refugees
one way or another.
"But above all else, my tour has
reaffirmed my own deep conviction
that the only realistic bases for
any effective American policy to-
ward the Middle East must rest
first of all on the firm assumption
that Israel is an integral part of
the region-and there to stay"
A DEBATE enlivened proceed
ings of the National Community
Relations Advisory Council in
Cleveland last month.
DIR. Philip M. Hauser, chairman
of the Department of Sociology at
the University of Chicago, and Sid
ney z. Vincent, assistant director
of the Cleveland Jewish COmmun-
ity Federation, discussed the sur
vival of Jewish life in America.
Said DR.. Hauser: with the So
cial and economic trends We see,
it will be increasingly difficult for
Jewish groups to maintain their
identity in the coming generations.
The more contact Jewish groups
have with the American commun-
ity, the more difficult it will be for
them to retain their identity as
Jews"
COUNTERING, Vincent sa / d
demographers had been complete
ly wrong in their estimates gen.
GRAFTON ago, and that repeated pre-
dictions since 1920 of the inevitable
dwindling of a distinctive Jewish
life in America had been upset by
increasing vigor of Jewish COM
munity life.
Despite the great drives toward
conformity" he stated, Jewish life
in America has grown in depth
and vitality"
In recent months, the subject Of
Jewish survival has called forth
many announcements and some
controversy. The most optimistic
predictions have come from those
who have been closest to the pic
ture = participants in, as well as
observers of, the living Jewish
community.
To them, as to me, it seems that
the reports of its passing are great
ly exaggerated.

Ike Acts TO End
Threuf Of New
Akubu Blockade

WASHINGTON (JTA)-The Els
enhower administration moved GIN
gerly this week to dampen a new
Middle East crisis developing from
Saudi Arabian threats to renew the
blockade against Israeli shipping
in the Gulf of Akaba.
White House sources disclosed
that President Eisenhower has
written personal letters not only to
King Saud but to heads of other
Arab states.
The President is understood in
his letter to King Saud to have
restated the American position in
general support of Israel's right to
use the gulf.
The Arabs hold that a emile ter
ritorial limit prevails while the
United States maintains that the
legal offshore limit is only 8 miles.
The additional 8 miles claimed by
the Arabs would cover the narrow
entrance to the gulf and seal II
from Israeli use.

To alleviate some of the harsh
ness of our immigration policies,
though temporarily, Senator Ken
nedy last month introduced bill
in Congress which would allow the
entry into this country OF 5000
Egyptian expellees along with ref
ugees from Hungary.
Should his bill become law, some
members of an ancient and hon.
ored communicative, productive
fuutre citizens-might be added to
our population.
SHOULD HIS bill not pass-and
its outlook is dim-the fate OF these
refugees from Egyptian persecution
rests with the executive branch OF
our government.
It's parole authority, used in the
case of the refugees from Hungary,
can be extended to include those
fleeing from Egypt. Such is the
opinion of Robert S. McCollum,
head of the State Department Or

Since over half of Egypt's Jews

many more on the way, we can
only hope that some emergency

Greek Premier
Visits Nasser

CAAtVO, Egypt, Aug. II VI.
Greek Premier Constantin
Karamanlis arrived in Cairo
today for talks with President
Nasser.
He was met at the airport
by Interior Minister Zakaria
Mohieddine and Foreign Min
lister Mahmoud Fawzi.
Mr.. Karamanlis' talks here
may determine the future of
the huge Greek community in
this country. He is also expect
ed to make a bid for stronger
Egyptian backing for self
determination in Cyprus.
The future Of 10000 Greeks
in Egypt. however, is Mr.. Kara
manlis' immediate concern.
Forming by far the largest
foreign community in Egypt.
these Greeks have had their
future clouded by recent Egyp-
tianization laws requiring all
banks. insurance companies and
importing firms must be Egyp-
tian-ownec.
These measures affect direct
ly an estimated Is per cent Of
Greeks in Egypt. The result is
that Greeks are looking for
other places to live.
Since Greece already is over
populated it would be difncult
for these people to find means
Of livelihood in their home
country. Mr.. Karamanlis hopes
to revise the Egyptianization
DEGREES.
In some respects the two
countries policies are almost
parallel.
Egypt generally backs Greece
on Cyprus. and the Greeks in
return have given Egypt solid
support on the Suez Canal
issue.
