Sam Tarshis Attends
Civil Rights Sessions
At Nation's Capital
Sam vr. Tarshis, vice chair-
man of the Washington State
Advisory Committee to the
United States Commission on
Civil Rights will attend a meet-
ing of representatives of all
fifty state advisory committees
to be held in Washington, D.C.
this coming weekend, as a
delegate of the local group.
Regarding the recent vote on
cloture rule, Mr. Tarshis said:
"The vote on the cloture rule
which now assures passage of
the Civil Rights Act, is a vic-
tory for all who love justice
and love an America conceived
in liberty. It is a defeat for no
one except those who would
prevent America from achiev-
ing its ultimate dream." He
said, "The result of the vote
is a tribute to resolute leader-
ship of men and womeu for
whom the word patriotism has
the meaning of love and jus-
tice and decency.
"It is significant," he con-
tinued, "that on the basic issue
the architects of victory in-
eluded the President of the
United States and Senators
from both sides of the cham-
ber. The strength and sincerity
of Senator Humphrey of Min-
nesota and Senator Kuchel of
California will be particularly
remembered. Their work can
now be added to the profiles
of courage that have marked
our nation's legislative history.
"For the thousands of civil
rights leaders and for the
country as a whole, the final
passage of the Civil Rights Bill
will provide new opportunities,
which they dare not squander,
to help out" Negro citizens
achieve a full measure of their
rights as Americans."

Eshkol and President Johnson At
Conferences on Israeli Problems
NEW YORK, (JTA) -- Israel's determination to build
a better society and its willingness to help resolve Mid-
dle East disputes were conveyed by Premier Levi Eshkol
to President ,Johnson and a wide variety of other Ameri-
can leaders in a whirlwind round of conferences and
public appearances this month.
In the first official visit by'---- ....
an Israeli Premier on invita-
tion by an American President,
Mr. Eshkol met with President
Johnson in a long and friendly
discussion. In a joint corri-
munique issued at the end of
the talks, President Johnson
reaffirmed United States sup-
port for the territorial integrity
and political independence ol"
all countries in the Middle
East and "the firm opposition
of the United States to aggres-
sion and the use of force or
the threat of force against any
country."
Seattle Resolution On
Russ Anti-Semitism
In Nation's Records
HON. ItENRY M. JACKSON
Senator Henry M. Jackson of
Washington state, has caused to
be entered in the 1964 Congres-
sional Record the proclamation
of Governor Albert D. Rosellini
selling forlh last March 14 as a
"Sabbath of Protest." The reso-
lution appeared in full in The
Transcript of February 14, 1964.
In presenting the proclama-
tion to tim Senate of the United
States for inclusion in the Con-
gressional Record, Mr. Jackson
said:
"Mr. Presidenl, for some time
there has been increasing evi-
dence of growing anti-Semitism
within the Soviet Union. AII I
over the world, freemen con-
cerned ahout this ominous cam-
paign have spoken out against
the measures which deny Soviet
Jews their religious and cul-
tural rights, and allow politi-
cal, social, and economic meas-
ures against Jews.
"In connection with this pro-
test, the S e a t t 1 e Council of
Rabbis has been active in
arousing the conscience of the
public. The Governor of our
Stat proclaimed a Sabbath of
protest, which was widely ob-
served last month. As a con-
tinuing part of this effort, I ask
unanimous consent that the
proclamation of the Governor
be printed in the Appendix of
the Record."
There being no objection, the
proclamation was ordered to be
printed in the Record.

Century Club Honors Merle Cohn
One specific agreement was
for a joint United States-Israel
study of the use of nuclear
power" for desalting seawater.
The communique noted that
progress in that effort would
be made available $,o all 'coun-
tries with "water defficien-
ties," a description covering
most of Israel's Arab neighbors.
Closer Friendly ]Relations
Generally, tlm communique
pledged that both countries
would seek to increase the
present friendly relations link-
ing them. It was understood
that the Israeli visitors did not
ask the United States for addi-
tional arms, thougl the steady
Egypian arms buildup, partic-
ularly in the field of rocketry,
vith the aid of West German
Cientists was stressed by the
?remier repeatedly.
Prior to his departure from
Washington for New York, the
Premier said he felt his visit
to the capitol had improved
contacts between the two
countries and enhanced the
generally friendly atmosphere.
The Prime Minister met with
Undersecretary of State Aver-
ell Harriman, Assistant Secre-
tary of State Philip Talbot, and
others. A conference also was
held in the office of Acting
State Secretary George W.
Ball. During the visit, Mr. Esh-
kol also had a, breakfast meet-
ing at Blair House vth Presi-
dent George Meany of the
AFL-CIO and other labor
leaders.
Agreements Needed
Mr. Eshkol told an Overseas
Writers Club luncheon that an
earnest effort should be made
to get effective and controll-
able agreements to end the
arms and military technology
race in the Middle East. He
said timt there was no slacken-
ing in the flow of Arab threats
against Israel and that Israel
had no choice, despite the bur-
den, but to maintain its mili-
tary deterrent at a high level.
Without this, he said, the "rela-
tive quiet" in the Middle East
"could be upset overnight•"
Israel's basic positions were
made known to President
Johnson and the key figures
of the Government. These in-
cluded the belief that a mass
return of Arab refugees would
probably turn Israel into an-
other CypriJs. Israel's readi-
ness to help financially and
technically for resettlement of
the Arab refugees was empha-
sized.
Israel's belief that it needs
to increase its conventional
military capabilities was indi-
cated, referring to more planes,
more airfields, tanks and re-
lated weaponry.
The Premier told a United
Jewish Appeal dinner in New
York that Israel did not expect
the Arab countries to mount an
armed attack against Israel's
massive Water Carrier project,
scheduled to become opera-
tional this summer• He stressed
that the plan was being con-
ducted in accordance with the
:regional Jordan River plan
proposed by the late Eric John-
son in 1955 which was accepted
at the technical level by the
Arabs and rejected by the
Arab governments.
For Israel High Schools
He also disclosed the UJA
was planning a capital fund
drive to build high schools for
Israel, which does not have
free high school education. He
said the project would cor-
rect an educational imbalance
which "holds grave peril for
our future." He said 43 of
every 100 children entering
Israeli elementary schools were
of Asian or African origin. In
high school, the ratio drops to
25 and at the university level
to 12. He said Israel had no in-
tention of becoming a nation
divided between educated and
uneducated but that it lacked
