Discussing Soviet overtures in the Middle Es-st, Biaustein declar¬ ed:
"I am very concerned about the Soviet statements In Britain re- garding the Middle East. It seems that they have muscled their way in so as to have a decisive say in i the Middle Eastern area, and that their program la aimed at em- I harassing the U.S. with othor coun- I tries making it appear that the Soviets,are reasonable and really I wunt peace, while actually de- ! manding the West do things that [ the West cannot do. For example, the Soviet statement that R will participate In 'strengthening' peace in the Middle East area, probably mea;is that the Sovii'ts will among other things insist In effect on breaklhg up the Baghi^d Pact. The Baghdad Pact once hav- ng been started, it would seem un¬ thinkable to be party to its elimi¬ nation, thus abandoning friendly countries. If they are forsaken, their future confidence in entering into Western alllancea would be jeopardized."
In a resolution, the Executive Board declared the U. S. should warn potential aggressors in the Middle East that its power "will be. aligned against them." The resolution urged that "once ade¬ quate defensive arms have been obtained by laraol, aerloua consid¬ eration should then be given to the limitation of further military sup¬ plies to the area."
IN ANOTHEII action, the plo- ne»*r American organization pro¬ tecting the civil and religious rights of Jews declared that "to the free world, tho treatment ac¬ corded ethnic and religious minor¬ ities in Morocco & Tunisia will be a meaaure of the wisdom and re¬ sponsibility with which these na¬ tions enter into their Independ¬ ence,"
In a brief sent to Seoretary of State Dulles, the AJC charged that the U.S. Government Is breaching tho constitutional rights of Its own citizens by capitulating to Arab de¬ mands that this country single out Americans of one particular . relig¬ ious group and impose sanctions against them. The brief protested the State Department's failure to effectively guarantee the integrity of American passports when car¬ ried by American Jewa.
Calling for immediate action, "to dlauasoclate the Federal Govern¬ ment from Arab discriminatory practicea," the AJC charged that t continaed on p«ie 4)

Wm. Schiff Israel Bond Chmn.
William Schiff, prominent busi¬ ness and community leader, is the 1956 chairman of the Columbus High Holy Day Israel Bond com¬ mittee.    * ¦
Mr. Schiff and his committee will visit synagogue Boards In the coming weeks to plan the scope and nature of Israel Bond Appeals which have established a high lev(?l pattern of achievement in Co¬ lumbua during the past four years
In 1055, $161,450 in Bonds was purchased In Columbua, of which $93,000 was realized through tht. partlclpation of Congregations A- gudtts Achim, Tifereth Israel, Beth Jacob and Ahavas Sholom in the national High Holy Day Appeals. ¦ MIL SCHIFF deac r Ibed the mounting economic pressures as a result of Israel's serious security crisis in emphasizing tho great im¬ portance of the High Holy Day program when spiritual and fi nancial resources are mobilized throughout the nation for Israel.
He pointed out that each year milllona of Investment dollara have been made available to Israel through Bond efforts conducted during the Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur services.
As a mark of appreciation for participating congregations, M r Schiff said, the Israel Bond or¬ ganization this year will preaent a
copy  of  the  famous  Szyk   Hagga¬ dah, printed in Israel and specially inscribed, to each synagogue which sells $10,00 or more In Israel Bonds during its 1956 effort. [     Rabbi   Abba   Hillel   Silver,   chalr- j man of the Board of Governora of I the   Israel   Bond   Organization,   in , discussing    ways    and    means    of reaching   the   national   goal   of   $75 I millions   in   Bond   sales   this   year,
WM.  8CIUFF
said:
"It Is tho obligation of all those who love justice and freedom, and who believe that the establishment of the State of Israel was one of tbe most significant and hearten¬ ing moral achievements of this century, to provide the wherewith¬ al to carry on Its industrial, agri¬ cultural and  social  development."
IN 1956, each of the participating Columbus congregations organized Ua own Israel Bond High Holiday committee to plan and carry out the Appeal.
At Agudas Achim. Dr. Max Kan-^ ter, president, named Dr. Ivan Gil¬ bert, Abe Wolman and Dave Levl¬ aon to this leadership.
David Goldsmith, president of Tifereth Israel, through Board ac¬ tion had co-chairmen in Ira MQ.n- roe and Albert Blank.
Milton Leeman, president of Beth Jacob, Lou Levin and Harold Hillson organized plans at Beth Jacob.
Morris Jonas and Harry Beck¬ man were in charge of arrange¬ ments at Ahavas Sholom.
Mr. SchUf underscored the warm ' cf^opera^on of the Columbua rab¬ binate and said, "this prognun, both local and national has beei) made possible largely through the devoted efforts and spiritual guid¬ ance of the rabbinate,"
