Russia Blamed for
Mid-East Tension
WASHINGTON (JTA) The
United States charged that Rus-
sia is aggravating Middle East
tensions by shipping' "large quan-
tities of arms and ammunition"
into the area, in a note delivered
to the Soviet Government. The
French and British Governments
presented similar notes to Russia.
Israel-Arab "tensions continue
to face the world as the most im-
portant problem in the Middle
East, Selvyn Lloyd, Britain's for-
eign Minister, told the General
Assembly of the United Nations
last week. He backed John Fos-
ter Dulles, U. S. Secretary of
State in Mr. Dulles' proposal to
the Assembly that it should use
a 1949 resolution dealing with
the "Essentials for Peace" in an
effort to halt the Soviet Union's
',indirect aggression" in the Near
East and Middle East.
The British Foreign Minister
attacked the Soviet Union with
a charge that Moscow's entire
purpose in the Middle East
seemed to be "to perpetuate and
not to reduce tension." He re-
turned to Israel's early history
at the United Nations to point
out that "it was the votes o£ the
Soviet bloc that gave the neces-
sary majority for the State of
Israel to be cyeated." He also re-
minded the Assembly that "it was
the Soviet bloc which first sent
arms to Israel. He said that now
the situation in Syria must be
viewed with grave concern.
In Tel-Aviv, Premier Ben-Gur-
ion in a message to the Israel
Army, declared that the contin-
ued supply of arms to Syria and
Jordan was a grave danger to
Israel, which must maintain its
armed forces in a position of high
preparedness and utmost effi-
ciency. The Premier added that
Israel must strive to win the
friendship of nations participat-
ing in the European Common
Market plan.
Summing up Israel's achieve-
ment during the past Jewish
year, the Premier said it would
be impossible to exaggerate the
value of French aid to Israel
which he called of "paramount
importance." lie urged finding
means to help Afro-Asian nations
to help themselves

Mr. Edwin J. Lukas, Director
Israel Seeks Clues For Soviet
Detention of Israel Diplomat
JERUSALEM (JTA)Israel officials were long on theories but
shot on facts this week in their hunt for clues as to the precise
motivation of the Russian bear in his latest savage slap at the
Jewish State--the extraordinary detention and third degree abus6
of an Israel diplomat by Soviet secret agents.
Brushing aside all questions with a terse "I have arrived safely,
that's all I can say," Eliahu Chazan, attache of the Israel Embassy
Foreign Ministry refused to repozt the details of his ordeal.
The Israel Government promptly filed a protest with the Krem-
lin and recalled members of the Knesset Foreign Affairs Committee
from summer vacations to consider the implications of the un-
precedented violation of Chazan's diplomatic immunity.
Guard Soviet Embassy >
Israel police guards around the
Soviet embassy in Ramat Gan,
the Tel Aviv suburb, were
doubled and mobile police units
patrolled the streets leading to
the embassy, while Charon pre-
pared a full report for the for-
eign ministry on his experiences.
He told reporters it would con-
tain even "more shocking de-
tas" than had been published.
Foreign ministry officials care-
fully refrained from speculabions
as to when the Soviets would
reply to the protest and what
the Israel Government might do
if the reply was unsatisfactory
or unduly delayed.
Alexander Abramov, the Rus-
sian ambassador to Israel, was
understood to have expressed
disbelief in the report of the kid-
napping of Chazan. The Russian
embassy announced, on the day
of Chazan's return to Israel, that
Abramov was taking a "short
leave." Israel newspaper prompt-
ly asserted that he was doing so
to avoid expressing the good
wishes of the diplomatic corps to
President Ben Zvi, a traditional
ceremony on the occasion of the
Jewish New Year. Because of the
absence of French Ambassador
Pierre Gilbert, now home on
leave, Abramov as next senior
diplomat would be acting as dean
of the corps and its spokesman
for the New Year greetings.
A number of suggested impli-
cations of the Soviet breach of
diplomatic courtesies were pon-
dere'd in government circles, the
principal one being the possibil-
ity that the Russians intended to,.
frighten Soviet Jewry which, in
a mass demonstration, expressed
its undiminished interest in Is-
rael during the recent World
Youth Festival in Moscow.
The flaw in this guess was that
there was no indication immedi-
ately of a press campaign in the
Soviet Union against Israel in
connection with the Chazan inci-
dent. A theory voiced in London
diplomatic circles was that the
Russians had hoped to get from
Chazan the names of the Russian
Jews whom the Soviets believed
had organized the large demon-
stration of Moscow Jews to wel-
come the Israel delegation to the
Youth Festival.
DATE SET
The Jewish National Fund
Council has set the date for their
annual Chanukah Festival for the
evening of Sunday, December 22,
it has been announced by Sam
Prottas, president. Further de-
tails will appear in subsequent
issues of The Transcript.
