Mr. Rosenwald pointed out that
delegates from all over the coun-
try will attend the Leidesdorf din-
ner in an hour when 14,000 Hun-
garian Jews wait in Austrian ref-
ugee camps and 10,000 new Jew-
ish refugees from Nasser's Egypt
are trying to put together their
suddenly shattered lives in
France, Italy and Israel.
"It is costing the Joint Distri-
bution Committee, which re-
ceives its funds from the United
Jewish Appeal almost a half-a-
million dollars a month for the
maintenance and care of the
Hungarian refugees in Austria
alone," Mr. Rosenwald said.
"At the same time, a flood of

of new arrivals to enter the

indicative of a very heavy immi-

rael," Mr. Rosenwald continued.
"The Jewish Agency, which re-
ceives its funds from the UJA is
straining every resource to build
16,000 new permanent housing

of the new influx of immigrants,"
Mr. Rosenwald said.
He said that the UJA-financed
Joint Distribution Committee is
providing on-the-spot relief and
welfare services for all Jewish
refugees in Europe and adjacent
areas, including food, clothing
and temporary shelter. The Jew-
ish Agency, which also is a bene,

Israel Determined to Hold Gains
In Gaza Peninsula and in Aquaba
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JTA)--A showdown was set"
for this week in the United Nations on Israel's determina-
tion to hold its position in the Gaza Strip and at the Sinai,
peninsula southern tip until adequate security guarantees
were forthcoming.
That s.tand was set forth by Prime Minister David Ben-
Gurion in a.historic address to the Israel Parliament, in which
he bluntly told the Uited Nations that Israel would not
withdraw from Gaza or Sharm el Sheikh, overlooking the
Strait 6f Tiran and the Gulf of Aquaba, without dependable
assurances of security and freedom of navigation.
Those demands were rejected almost entirely by Secre-
tary General Dag Hammarskjold, in his report Friday to the
General Assembly on Israel's compliance with the UI
November 2 resolution on withdrawal.
The head-on collision between Israel and the secretary-
general .produced four possibilities of UN General Assembly
action in what appoared likely to be a long and arduous de-
bate next week.'
Four Possible Courses at
Assembly Action
1. Support of Israel's position,
as set forth in a Knesset vote of
confidence, 54 to 17, for Prime
Minister Ben-Gurion's stand.
2. Support of Mr. Hamnaarsk-
jold's position, as set forth in his
report to the General Assembly
on Israeli withdrawal compliance.
3. Support for a plan with com-
promises on demands in both the
Secretary-General's and Israel's
positions, looking to means of as-
suring that pre-fighting condi-
tions were not reinstated under
UN auspices.
4. Support for the Afro-Asian
bloc demand, sparked by the
pressure of Arab League coun-
tries for total and unconditional
Israeli withdrawal.
Democrats Criticize
Pres. Mideast Plan
Three Democratic Congress-
men, testifying before the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs on
the Eisenhower Middle East plan,
criticized it for failing to" deal
effectively with the Arab-Israel
question.
Rep. Emanuel Celler, New
York, urged President Eisen-
hower to get first hand reports
from Premier David Ben Gurion
as well as from King Saud. He
said the President's resolution
does not come to grips with such
"agents of destruction" as Nasser,
with the pouring of Communist
'arms into the Middle East and
with .American self-interest in
maintaining a democracy like Is-
rael.
Rep. James Roosevelt of Cali-
fornia qtestioned whether the
Eisenbower plan contained ade-
quate safeguards against Arab
use of American arms to destroy!
Israel. Rep. Abraham Multe'r of:
UN Sanction Talk
Amazes Israeiis
JERUSALEM.An Israeli of-
ficial said it was inconceivable
that the United Nations would
vote economic sanctions against
Israel if the problems of the Gulf
of Aquaba and the Gaza Strip
were not solved immediately.
"It would mean a double stand-
ard of morality, one for Egypt
and one for Israel," the spokes-
man said.
Last week premier David Ben-
Gurion declared that Israeli
troops would remain, on the
southern tip of the Sinai Penin-
sula and in the Gaza Strip in de.
fiance of the U.N. resolution, un-
til freedom of passage through
the Gulf of Aquaba vas guaran-
i teed and until a plan for joint
Israeli - United Nations adminis-
tration of Gaza was approved.
"We are still hopeful, that the
United Nations Assembly will
produce a plan to guarantee our
use of the Gulf of Aquaba, but
we have heard of no new plan
for Gaza that would insure our
security and also provide for the
economic rehabilitation of that
area,'" the Israeli official said.
"We still believe that the
United Nations will see the $us,
tice ill our position," he con-
tinued. "If this matter comes to
the threat, of sanctions against
us, Israel will face this problem
and will work it out. But the dif-
ficulties facing the whole middle
East cannot be settled only b,
formulating resolutions."
New York said he favored eco
nomic and military aid to Middle
East countries only if they first
entered agreements to abide by
international law.
