Need for Blood Stressed by "B" Day Committee
With "B" Day all set tor Wednesday, Aug. 18, at the Jewish Center, the Jewish community of Oolumbus is reminded of the desperate need for blood donations. Of prime concern at present Is the dreaded polio season which Is approachine-
Blood Is now used In the treatment for the prevention of paralysis in polio. The Columbus Regrional Blood Center ha» been designated by our government ^ a recog¬ nized participant and is charged with the responsibility of securing blood for this pur¬ pose.
Blood is thereby needed for the following purposes:
1. Civilhui use In hospitals. This Is the Insurance program of our Jewish com¬ munity plan, whereby any member of our community  is  guaranteed  free  Ued
Cross Biood when needed;
2. Whole blood for wounded veterans; ^
S. Blood plasma for emergencies In this country;
4. Blood for gamma globulin for the prevention of paralysis In polio.
The important thing to remember Is that you and every member of your immediate family are entitled to free blood (nfl much as Is necessary) In any emergency, without cost. This Is your dividend when you share in this life-saving insurance program. You are urged to make an appointment now for "B" day. Call the Jewish Center, DO. 2781, or 1>0. 6221.

General Bennlke'a appointment was for one year, and had expired on June 17. But Hammarskjold had requested the Danish General to remain In office until a successor was appointed and had arrived In Jerusalem.
All indications during the paat year pointed to the fact that Gen¬ eral Bennike was not too pleased with hla difficult assignment. Hammarakjold knew this and act¬ ed accordingly.
Major-Generol B u r n a. Deputy Minister of the Department of Veterans Affairs In Canada, and who' had held Important mllftary posts during both world wars, wlli undoubtedly Inject a spirit of sta¬ bility into the whole Palestine sit¬ uation, With a Canadian aa Chief of Staff, Israel's position vls-d-vls the Arabs, will certainly be en¬ hanced.

ERIC JOHNSTON ADMITS HE DIDN'T TRY TO BRING ARABS TOGETHER WiTH ISRAELIS

O^onl tic, CA. H8M.
NEW YORK, N. Y. (AJP) ¦- During u recent interview with Eric Johnston, U. N. correapondent for the mS, Pierre J. Huso, got Johnston to admit that he did not try to get* tho Arab Statps to get together with larael on the pro¬ jected Jordan valley "TV A" scheme.
Following arc some of the ques¬ tions asked by Huas and the answ¬ ers received:
Q. Did your recent Palestine visit actually result In a perceptible ad- van ce toward common grount^ where the spokesmen for larael and Jordan, for example, sat down together or indicated such a possi¬ bility?     .
.A.^i^O, It did not We havo not asU6cl them to get together, and 1 have no intention of doing so. I just don't think it possible to per¬ suade the Arab countries to ^it down to a conference table with Israel. We are therefore dealing with them separately..
Q. Is the prestige of President Elsenhower   In   the   countries  ypu
dealt with more telling than the anti-American feeling and propa¬ ganda we are told prevails in the Middle East?
A. I am sure it is.- Both t^e Arabs and the Israelis seem to feel that the President meant what he said when he started a policy of "impartial friendship" toward them botti. On specific matters, of course, there is still resentment in one camp or the other. For exam¬ ple, Israel is bitterly unhappy a- bout American arms aid to Iraq. The Arab States on the other hand, are equally unhappy about the faiit that Israel la i^tlU receiving more U. S. economic aid than they arc. Q. On the basis of your recent discussions, what real posalbtlttlea do you ace for outraclng the shaky armistice situation with a workable scheme for developing the Jordan Valley?
. A. 1 think the chances. are very gSod. First of all, while the armis¬ tice situation ia admittedly shaky, I personally believe that the states¬ men of both the Arab natloiis and
Israel are determined to exercise restrairit . . . Therefore I think there is every chance that we shall be able to get something go¬ ing in the Jordan Valley despite the tensions which exist If we can do that, we shall have "eliminated the explosive issue of the Jordan waters from the equation and thus diminished the possibility that the armlstic^^iil break down.
Q. Just why Is the U. S. suffi¬ ciently Interested in this Jordan Valley project to send a special emissary to the Prealdent out there to put it acroas?
A. I think there are several rea¬ sons . . . We are deeply Interested in maintaining peace and stability in the atrategic Near East. One way to do this is to remove the specific and identifiable pointa of friction—doctor the sore spota, aa it were. The Jordan River is one of these. If we can work out an acceptable division of its waters and use them to the best of all con¬ cerned, we will have removed one major cause of dissension.
