Arab Demands Launch Pressure On Kennedy AdmiiK'' .ation
BY DA VXD HOROWITZ
UNITED NATIONS (WUP)— The Arab words were spoken across the UN talble, but they were directed for the ears of the newly-elected Presidient John F. Kennedy.
Like the Russians, the Arabs at the UN are Issuing not too subtle hints to the new Ad¬ ministration, urging certain changes In i>ollcy. But there la a difference!
THE RUSSIANS are looking for a change—^whether one chooses to believe it or not— In the direction of peaceful co-existence. The Arab tune is quite an opposite one. They do not seek co-existence between Israel and themselves. What they want is the dissolution of the  Israeli   State.   They  don't
want 00-exlstence. They want non-existence ^ the non-exist¬ ence of Israel.
Iij unminclng words, this maximum demand was put be¬ fore the Assembly's Special Po¬ litical Committee by the mal¬ content Ahmad Shukalry in a two-hour speech—^his second such lengthy diatribe in the de¬ bate. It would be easy to ridi¬ cule Shuicalry's highly emo¬ tional and extremist speeches. However, It is becoming appar¬ ent that neither with ridicule nor with lampooning can this Saudl-Arablan delegate be light¬ ly written off.
THB FACTT IS that he has be¬ come the Number 1 spokesman for the Arab states and his con¬ stant harping upon the "undo¬ ing" of Israel is having a psy¬
chological effect upon some here. In his-speech of Wednes¬ day, Nov. 30—a day after the Partition anniversary — he re¬ peatedly challenged the VS. delegation to uphold past reso¬ lutions on such Issues as re¬ patriation of refugees, the inter¬ national status of Jerusalem, and other problems ensuing from the Partition vote of Nov. 29, 1947.
At the same time, he cate¬ gorically denies the one resolu¬ tion from which aU the prob¬ lems follow. Said he: "But the resolution which stands now null and void Is the resolution of 1947 which gave rise to the establishment of Israel." That, he warned, must go.
THB JBW8 OF Palestine must be dispersed, the modem
Kaman urged. Those who have come from the Arab states and those who came from Europe are to go back. Only the Jews who lived there under the Man¬ date together with the returned Arabs and the few Christians will then form a new State of Palestine to become a UN mem¬ ber, he pleaded.
Thus, Shukalry continued, a great historic injustice wIU be rectified—an injustice which he holds the U.S. primarily re- sponalble. So vigorous was his attack on the UJS. delegation that the American representa¬ tive In the Committee, Francis O. Wilcox, expressed astonish¬ ment at the force of the attack.
SHUKABBT'S speech, how¬ ever astonisliing, Isft no room for misunderstanding the Arab
intent. He said: "The U.S. alone can bring Israel to her knees. By withholding the U.S. cco- nomiic assistance, Israel would promptly recognize the right's of the Arab refugees, if only," he added, "in the words of Mr. Kennedy, 'the VS. moves ahead.' "
Thus the Arabs, it seems clear, are exploiting the UN de¬ bate In an attempt to Influence Kennedy while he Is formulat¬ ing policies. Now, It certainly must be obvious to the Arabs that Kennedy will not be a party to the dismantUng of Is¬ rael. Nor will the UN. Obvious¬ ly, the Arabs are looking for a settlement of their maximum requests. What they really want Is repatriation, compensation, the  internationalization of Je¬
rusalem and immigration.
a ban  on  Jewish
THIS, OF course, is their in¬ direct way of "undoing" Israel. For the implementation of the above would mean the end of the sovereign Jewish State.
Here Is where the debate stands some two weeks before the adjournment of the CJeneral Assembly which will resume In February, 1961. At that time Kennedy's new delegation will be on the Job to imi>Iement ^ new, dynamic policy based on the  Party's  Platform.
It now remains to be seen how much the Aralw will get. But If they get anything. It Is very doubtful that President John F. Kennedy will be their Islamic  Santa Klaus.

The Information was revealed In the Algemeen Handelsblad of Amster¬ dam, Het Vrlje Volk of Amster¬ dam and the Nieuwe Botter- damsche Courant of Rotterdam.
The Rotterdam Courant de¬ clared: "We cannot congratulate Life for employing a collaborator with suotL&J>ackground..We have said before that the publication of Eichmann's memoirs, while the case Is su'b-judice. Is objection¬ able. Our objections are stranger, now that we know who this so- called German journalist Wilhelm Sassen, really Is."
LIFE QUESTIONBD about the Dutch reports, told the JTA: "Ldfe, which had no Illusions about Wilhelm Sassen, who persuaded Eichmann to tape-record his con¬ fessions, currently appearing In the magazine, was not aware, as Dutch newspapers have reported,
