Judge Alpern, who is active

In announcing Judge Al-

that she will serve as chief legal
officer of the state as she did
for the city of Pittsburgh for
many years.”

Jerusalem (JTA) — United
Nations Secretary General Dag
Hammarskjold pledged this
week that the United Nations
Relief and Works Agency for
the Palestine Arab refugees
would “continue to exist until
we find a solution to the refu-
gee problem.”
Mr. Hammarskjold made
this promise, which appears to
conflict with prevailing senti-
ment among Western delega-
tions at the last General As-
sembly, at a reception in his
honor at the residence of the
Egyptian military governor of
Gaza.

matory addresses by Arab refu-

Reinfried Freuneck, a male
nurse in a Munich sanitarium,
has been indicted on a com-
plaint by the Weiden Jewish
community of violating the
state I a w prohibiting the
spreading of national and ra-
cial hatred. The man is accused
of having stated that “all Jews
ought to be exterminated,” and
of having said that, if extermi-
nation camps were to be re-
established, he would volunteer
“to give deadly injections to the
rest of the Jews."
East Germany may permit

the Arabs did understand it
that way and Mr. Rountree
did nothing to weaken this be-

One can only speculate here
why Washington is again beat-
ing a path to Nasser’s door.
It is thought here that there are
two reasons: first, Washington
may be genuinely worried about
the Communist and Soviet in-
roads in Iraq; second, it may
be that Washington has become
fed up of what she feels is her
lonely stand among the West-
ern Powers in a generally rec-
ognized anti-Nasser policy.
All this, in fact, goes back
to the Suez crisis of 1956,
when Washington failed to
back up the British-French-Is-
raeli attempt to cut Col. Nas-
ser to proper size. This Ameri-
can action immediately elicited
from the Italians and the West
Germans attempts to replace
the British and the French as
major Western economic pow-
ers in the Arab world. Also,
other West European powers
interpreted Washington’s action
as an indication that everybody
is on his own and must find
his own accommodation with
the Nasser-style Arab National-
ism.
Washington has since—i n
fact, if not in words—admitt-
ed its mistakes of 1956; but
by then it was late and when-
ever Washington tried to un-
dertake any anti-Nasser step,
it failed to obtain the unified
support of all West European
nations. Now Washington
seems to attempt to do the
same thing: come to terms with
the “new Arab Nationalism" of
Nasser, particularly since it

There is an old Arab tale
about two cut-throats who com-
peted with each other, offer-
ing their services as guides
through the desert for a pil-
grim. “Do not hire him,” said
one of them. “He killed his fa-
ther and his mother. I am a
decent man. I only killed my
father.”
This old tale comes to one’s
mind watching Egypt’s Col.
Nasser’s efforts to woo Ameri-
ca into supporting him against
his competitor, Iraq’s Brig. Kas-
sem.
It seems that the Egyptian
dictator chose his time rather
well. He made his bid while
American Assistant Secretary
of State for Middle Eastern Af-
fairs William Rountree was
touring the region, visiting all
Arab capitals but avoiding Is-
rael or Turkey, who are not
only Nasser’s staunchest oppo-
nents but also the firmest
friends of the West in the Mid-
dle East.
Ostensibly M r . Rountree
came to meet, in each country,
the American Ambassador.
This should explain why he did
not come to Israel, since Am-
bassador Edward Lawson is
now on home leave in Wash-
ington. It does not explain, how-
ever, why did Mr. Rountree
find it necessary to confer with
the leaders of Lebanon, Jordan,
Iraq and Egypt but not with
the leaders of Israel. Some ob-
servers here suspect that the
true reason is, that Mr. Roun-
tree—who reportedly wants to
prove to his chief—John Foster
Dulles—that “you talk sense
with the Arabs"—feels that
