from this point of view that the government made its decision.

GENEVA, (JTA) — The Un-
ited Nations Economic and Soc-
ial Council, which opened its
latest session here this week
decided to “reconsider in its
broad aspects” the draft Inter-
actional Covenant on Human
Rights before passing it on to
the General Assembly for fin-
al action.
Earlier, the World Jewish
Congress urged the Council to
reject the present draft under
which persecuted individuals
and groups do not have the
right of appeal. The Congress’
plea was made in a memoran-
dum, signed by Alex Easter-
man, political director of the

ISRAEL PARLIAMENT VOTES APPROVAL OF
STARD OR U. H. RESOLUTION TO AID KOREA
J JERUSALEM, (J JTA) — The Israel Parliament thW week up-
held the Cabinet's decision to support the United Natinna Securi-
ty Council resolution calling for aid to South Korea.
In one of the tensest moments since the inception of the Jew-
ish state, and following an exceedingly acrimonious debate, the
Knesset adopted a vote of confidence by 68 to 20, with eight ab-
stentions. Previously, a Mapam motion for a vote of no confi.
dence was defeated by 79 to IX with the right-wing Herat re-
fusing to join the left-wing Socialists despite its own opposition
to the government.
The debate was closed for the government by Premier David
Ben Gurion who declared that the threat of war has not yet
passed, hut "has been decreased by the action of the United Na-
tions. He called the Security Council's action the "greatest blow
against aggression" since the last World War.

The analogy between events
in Korea and Germany dorni-
nated the German news and
comment this past week. Anne
O’Hare McCormick’s statement
in last Wednesday's New York
Times that “The parallel be-
tween Korea and Germany is
too obvious to be missed,” re-
iterated in almost the same
