From Vienna comes a more
sombre report. The Neo Nazi
' League of Independents was
ready to beat the drums at a
meeting for “Hunger Pensions
and Jewish Restitution De-
mands.” Standing by, not sil-
ently, were a few hundred for-
mer Jewish concentration
camp vestiges. They could not (
take the villifications. Being
too young or too old did not
bother them. They remember-
ed the days before the war.
They remembered Hitler and
his gangsters. They protested
thq meeting. A fist fight en-
sued. At least the nazis knew
they could not get away with it
again. Not with out a fight. It
is something we should well
remember every time we de-
cide to throw munitions into
Germany. We may well get
them shot back at us some
grey day. Only not through a
gun. Through a supersonic
rocket plane that will drop a
super bomb before we could
discover how we’ve been
tricked.
Turkey proudly announces
the opening of its first rabbi-

We’ve heard the news from

Israel Asks Big
3 Guarantees
WASHINGTON (WNS) Is-
rael diplomats in Washington,
London, and Paris this week
asked the American, British
and French governments for
formal security guarantees
that would make her part of
the Western defensive system
and would insure Isarel against
an Arab attack. Justifying her
request for protection, Israel
maintained that the continued
American policy of rearming
the Arab states constitutes a
threat to her security.
At the same time Israel has
urged Turkey to take care not
to increase Middle Eastern ten-
sions. This step was taken by
Israel in view of the fact that
Turkey will soon conclude a
defense pact with Iraq and
might extend this to other
Arab states.
There were indications at
the State Department that the
United States is not likely to
act along the lines Israel de-
sires in the near future. A
State Department view that Is-
rael’s’ anxieties are exagger-
ated has been conveyed to
Evelyn Shuckburgh, British
Assistant Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs now in
charge of Middle Eastern mat-
ters, according to informed
sources. Mr. Shuckburgh is-
holding a series of talks here
in an effort to review and re-
concile aspects of British and
American policy in the Middle
East.
According to reliable infor-
mants, Mr. Shuckburgh was
told here that America feels
that the granting at this time
of the security measures asked
by Israel might jeopardize the
“progress” made with Iraq.
The State Department regards
the Iraq-Turkish pact as the
most hopeful development in
the Middle East and one which
will benefit all parties con-
cerned, including Israel.
Israel Ambassador Abba
i Eban this week discussed the
security situation in the Near
East with George V. Allen,
Assistant Secretary of State
for Near Eastern Affairs.
