MOSCOW REJECTS B-G'S REQUEST FOR MEET WITH MR. K
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The So¬ viet Union has rejected Prime Minister David Ben-Ourlon's re¬ quest for a meeting with Premier Khrushchev as "premature," an Israel C3Bl>lnet spokesman dis¬ closed.
THE SPOKESMAN said that the rejection liad been given orally by Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Malik to Arleh Harel, the Israel Ambassador to the Soviet Union. The Israel envoy was told tiiat the matter would be reconsidered when "the time is ripe."
The spokesman said that the explanation given by Malik was that Israel public figures. Includ¬ ing (Cabinet Ministers, had made statements which "were not of a peace-loving nature" and that. In view of such statements, a visit by the Israel Prime Minister "to Russia would be premature."
The explanation was supple¬ mented by a statement that the Soviet policy would continue to be based on a desire for good rela¬ tions "with all Middle Bast na¬ tions without discrimination."
THE ISRAEL Foreign MinlsUy declined comment on the Soviet rejection but Israel newspapers commented Ironically on Malik's remark that the Soviet Union wanted friendly relations with all Middla-Slasb.-countries '.!wiU>out discrimination."
The newspapers noted editorial¬ ly that Moscow makes every pos glble effort to discriminate against Israel. The editorials also assert¬ ed that by rejecting the Prime Minister's bid, the Soviets liad lost the last vestige of any moral right to compleiin about Israel's foreign policy. ,

The conference report was scheduled to go back to the House and. If accepted there, will then go to the Senate. Both Sen. Ful¬ bright and Rep. Thomas B. Mor¬ gan of Pennsylvania, cliairman of the House Foreign Relations Committee, Ii^ve promised to se^k speedy final passage.

The 22 days of picketing, con¬ ducted by the Seafarers' Inter¬ national Union and supported by the Intemational Longslioremen's Association, whose memliers re¬ fused to cross the picket Une, started with the arrival of the Cleopatra in New York harbor on April 13. It was estimated here that the picketing has cost the Egyptian owners of the vessel $44,000.
THE   POBMUIA   to   end   the
picketing was worked out In talks between Acting Secretary of State C. Douglas DlUon, Secretary of Laljor James P. MItcheU, and Arthur J. Goldiberg, general coun¬ sel of the AFL-dO. The formal statement by DlUon of a declara¬ tion of principles "which actuate United States forelgrn policy af¬ fecting the American merchant marine" was largely a re-state¬ ment of American opposition to Arab blacklisting and restrictions on freedom of the seas and free¬ dom of access to foreign ports, ^ere was one specific new com¬ mitment, however, to the effect that the State Department would consult with the AFL-CIO and its maritime unions, the SIU and

U. N. SOVIET CHIEF IS MUTE AT ISRAEL COCKTAIL PARTY
BY SAUL, CABSON
(United Nations JTA Correspondent)
UNTTESD NATIONS, N.Y. (JTA) —Arkady A. Sobolev, the Soviet Union's highly-articulate delega¬ tion chairman here, suddenly lost his tongue.
It liappened in the Delegates' dining Room the night Israel was holding Its annual cocktail party, celebrating the State's achieve¬ ment of Independence. It happen¬ ed to be, too, the very day Sobo- iev's big boss in the KremUn, Ni¬ kita Khrushchev, had given a re¬ sounding "nyet" to Premier David Ben-Gurion's offer to come to Moscow to continue discussUng the Middle East situation about which the Israeli leader had al¬ ready talked to President Elsen¬ hower and to Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
EACH YEAR, at Israel's anni¬ versary celebration—^whlch, punc¬ tiliously, he never falls to attend —Sobolev has some message that he Is willtag to speak. Usually, his words consist of polite, iiack- nied wishes for peace and stabU- Ity In the Middle East. But, cus¬ tomarily, he does say something. This time, however, he played shy.
"What shadl I say" he retorted to a request for a statement.
"This Is Israel's Independence Day," he was told. "You always give us a statement on this day. Would you give us a message now?
"Ah, but this Is not a day of particular note," he repUed. "If this were the fifth anniversary— or the 25th—some speolal anni¬ versary, I would say something. Please.  Ejxcuse me."
HE DID HAVE a conversation (ooBtlnaed on pag* 4)
the ILA, on developments "affect-, tag American vessels and sea¬ men" In the Middle East.
(Press dispatches from Cairo reported that United Arab Repub¬ lic President Gamal Alidel Nasser has stated publicly that he has no Intention of lifting the antl-Israell blockade of the Suez Canal. He also denounced American Sena¬ tors who had voted for a clause In the Mutual Security Bill, giving the President discretion to with¬ hold foreign aid from countries that practice boycotts. In his ad¬ dress, Nasser spoke of American aid as help given "In the style of (3ohen.")
PAUL HALL, president ot the SIU, has warned, that picketing of Egyptian ships would be re¬ sumed if the State Department failed to produce "practical im¬ plementation" of its promises to investigate the union's complaints about abuse of Us members In Arab ports. Hall said his union would also hold the State Depart¬ ment to Its promise to Intensify diplomatic efforts to protect American ships and seamen against Arab discrimination.
For the first time In the long- slmmerlng dispute over Arab blackUsting and boycotts against American shipping Involved In trade or other contact with Israel, the   State   Department   conceded

Sam Komessar Is Regular Blood Giver
"Blood banking Is everyone's business," says Sam Komessar.
Is ho Just l>elng generous? Not at edl . . . Just making regular deposits and hoping never to have to withdraw, but knowtag that others may borrow from his account, should the emergency arrive where a life depends on his blood. Is Komessar's reason for donating.
KOMESSAR Is a regular giver to the biood program of the Jewish Community Blood Donor Council. In April he gave his 39th pint of blood and one more pint
qualifies him for the five gallon club.
There are many regular donors ta the Jewish community and several five gaUon club members but none give more regularly than Komessar. He has a standing ap¬ pointment at the Blood Center every eight weelts. The only per¬ iod of time he has missed giving was once when he was lietag given shots for rabies.
Komessar served in World War n. Naval Air Corps and served three years In the South Pacific.
HE URGES that those who have appointments to give blood on "B" Day, Monday, May 16, be sure and keep it. Further appoint¬ ments may stlU be inade by call¬ ing CA. 4.8737.
The time: noon to 8 p.in. The place: Jewish Center, 1125 S. Col¬ lege Ave. Who may give: every¬ one over 18 and under 60 years of age. A physical exam is given. Let the doctor lie the judge as to whether a prospective donor is able to give.
Why hold B Day? Blood Day is held twice a year to fulfill a o<m- tract with the Anierican Red Cross for 500 ptats ot blood per year from the Jewish community.
Sani Komessar
The result Is that every memfier of the community Is sure that blood is there If it Is needed.
There are 228 pledges already made for Monday. But past yet^ have shown that only one-htktf will keep their appointmenta, Eiveryone is urged to donate blood on B Dey. An empty bottle cannot save a life. Only full bottI«s can.
