Nixon's Middle East Plank Strengthened
CHICAGO (JTA)The foreign policy committee at the Republican Convention Issued what was described by Senators Jacob K. Javits Eind Kenneth B, Keating, New York Republicans, as a "strengthened" Middle East plank. Eliminating a portion of the previous Middle East plank, the revised plank reads:
"With specific reference to Israel and the Arab nations, we urge them to undertake negotiations for a mutually acceptable settlement of the causes of tension  between

them.
"WE PLEDGE continued ef¬ forts: to eliminate the obstacles to a lasting peace in the area. In¬ cluding the human problem of the Arab refugees; to seek an end to transit and trade restrictions, blockades and boycotts; to secure freedom of navigation In Inter¬ national waterways, the cessation of discrimination against Ameri¬ cans on basis of religious beliefs, and an end to the wasteful aind dangerous arms race and to the threat of an arms imbalance in the area."
The convention also adopted an Immigration plank in its platform urging that the annual num'ber of immigrants accepted by the United States "be at least doubled" and that "obsolete immigration laws be amended by abandoning the outdated 1930 census date as a base and substituting the 1960 census.
"THE GUIDELINES of our Im¬ migration policy be based upon judgment of the individual merit of each applicant for admission amd citizenship," the policy plank stated. It emphasized that "Immi¬ gration heis hlstoricaUy been a great factor in the growth of the United States, not only in num¬ bers but in the enrichment of Ideas that Immigrants have brought with them."
The adopted plank points out that tbe Republican Administra¬ tion has given refuge to more than 32,000 victims of Communist tyranny from Hungary, ended needless delay in processing ap¬ plications for naturalization, and has urged other enlightened legis¬ lation to liberalize existing re¬ strictions. At the same time it says that "immigration haa been reduced to the point where it does not provide the stimulus to growth, that it should, nor are we ful¬ filling our obligation as a haven for the oppressed."
CHICAGO (JTA)—Henry Cabot Lodge, Republican nominee for the vice-presidency and U.S. Dele¬ gate to the United Nations, fa¬ vors lifting aU restrictions on the use of the Suez Canal. He told a press conference here at the close of the Republican National Con¬ vention that he had tried to ob¬ tain compliance with the United Nations stand on Suez transit and announced that he would keep trying.
Lodge made his remarks in re¬ sponse to a question by an Arab newspaiperman about compliance by Israel with U.N. resolutions. Since the question was vaguely and confusingly worded. Lodge assumed it pertained to the UN. position on Suez transit. Lodge thein responded that he favored the lifting of all restrictions on the use of the Suez Canal.
Iranian Statement Causes Arab And Moslem Dispute
The Arab and Moslem world was wracked again by a new dispute over Israel touched off by an Iranian statement which most Arab leaders feared was a portent of full recognition of the Jowl.sh State.
The focus of the new controversy, which led to the breaking off of diplomatic relations between Nasser's United Arab Republic and Iran in a mutual exchange of invectives, waa a statement by the Shah of Iran which in effect reaffirmed Iran's de facto recognition of Israel nearly a decade ago. The
ARGENTINA, ISRAEL RELEASE STATEMENT
JERUSALEM (JTA) — A Joint Argentine-Israel statement ending the dispute over the capture of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi leader who directed the mass-extermina¬ tion of the Jews in Europe, will be issued in the near future.
The statement will emphasize the desire of both countries for renewal of their friendship and wdll probably refer to the resolu¬ tion adopted recently by the United Nations Security Counoil concerning the Eichmann case, In which the CJouncll expressed hope of resimiptlon of friendly relations between Argentina and Israel.
The statement is also likely to sum up briefly each country's position on the Eichmann case. Shabtal Rosenne, leg»l adviser to the Israel Foreign Ministry, Is expected to return here from Buenos Aires after the Joint dec. laration is published. Rosenne has met with Argentine President Ar- turo Frondizi and Foreign Minis¬ ter Diogenes Tabotida, over the Issue.
it Is expected that ambassadors will, nevertheless, not be ex- chans^ed between the two coun¬ tries for some time. Argentine Ambassador Rodotfo Garcia Arias waa called home from Tel Aviv two months ago. Israel Ambassa¬ dor Arieh Levavl has been de¬ clared persona non grata by the Buenos Alrea (joi^emment.
RADAR INVENTION WINS U.S. DEFENSE MEDAL FDR HALPERN
WASHINGTGN (JTA)—A Jew¬ ish scientist whose radar inven¬ tion was considered so vital by the United States Government to its military defenses that it re¬ fused to allow him to patent it was awarded, the Department of Defense Medal for distinguished public service for the invention.
Dr. Otto Haipern last year ac¬ cepted $340,000 from the govern¬ ment in settlement of his 18-year- old court fight to get a patent on the invention which helps United States planes and ships evade radar detection by potential ene. ralea. The government, in oppos¬ ing Dr. Halpern's patent bid, ar¬ gued that granting of the patent would make public an Invention which was still a military secret.
The invention is a material con¬ taining metallic flakes which ab¬ sorb radar waves making ships and aircraft to which it is applied "invisiible" to radar.
Rabbi Harry Kaplan
TEN YOUTH LEADERS TDDR W. GERMANY
Rabbi Harry Kaplan, director of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation at Ohio State University, is one of the ten-man group from B'nai B'rlth and the Anti-Defamation League participating in the lead¬ ership exchange program with CJermany.
The group of human rights ex¬ perts and youth leaders left Idle- wild Airport last week for Bonn. They will tour West German cities as guests of the Bonn government to study human relations Prob¬ lems at the grass roots levels. They will participate in seminars and meet with government and civic officials and youth and com¬ munity leaders in Bonn, Dussei- dorf, Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and other cities. German com¬ munal anti youth leaders will come to the United States at a later date. These visits will set the pattern for further exchanges.
Alexander F. Miller, ADL na¬ tional director of community ser¬ vices, headed the American group. The B'nai B'rith yputh leaders in the group with Rabbi Kaplan in¬ clude Dr. Max Baer, national di¬ rector of B'nai B'rlth Youth Ser¬ vices; Harold M6ndschein, South¬ ern (California regional director of the youth services; Shcrwin JI Goldman, past intemational sec¬ retary of AZA B'nai B'rith teen¬ age organization; and Rabbi Mau¬ rice Pekarsky, director of the Hil¬ lel Foundation at the University of Chicago.
The   program   was   announced 11^
I !>..•• last month, following prior con¬ sultations with American State Department officials, by Labfel A. Katz, president of B'nai B'rith, and Henry Edward Schultz, na¬ tional chairman of the Antl- Defaraation League. They pointed out that "this is the first time an -American Jewish agency haa em¬ barked on an exchange program with  West Germany."
Shah pointedly declared that his statement in no way affected the existing relations between the two countries.
President Nasser promptly as¬ sailed the Shah as a stooge of western imperialism and Zionism and ordered closing of the Iran consulate tn Cairo. Abaws Aram, the Iranian Foreign Minister im¬ mediately called a press confer¬ ence in Teheran to announce that Iran had ended diplomatic rela¬ tions with the UAR and ordered the UAR envoy in Teheran to get out of Iran In 48 hours.
The Iraniaji Embassy in Wash¬ ington at an unusual press confer¬ ence denounced President Nasser of tho United Arab Republic for his "shameless auid irresponsi¬ ble behavior" in attacking the Shah of Iran.
Dr. Khosro Khosrovanl, the Iranian- charge d'affaires, told the press conference that Iran had decided not to reestablish diplo¬ matic relations with the UAR "aS long as its rulor cannot even be¬ have in accordance' with the most
elementary  code  of  International behavior."
The Iranian diplomat repeated that the Shah's statement was "nothing new" and that Nasser's attacks on Iran were a pretext to end the "bridge between Iran and other friendly nations and to di¬ vert the attention of his people from his own troubles at home."
Dr. Khosrovanl said that the UAR announcement of an eco¬ nomic boycott against Iran was a "farce." He explained that eco¬ nomic relations between the two countries were almost non-exist¬ ent. He said that Iran did not con¬ template any move on the Inter¬ national scene in connection with the UAR dispute at the present time. He asserted that if world opinion was correctly informed on the "much-ado-about-nothing atti¬ tude of Nasser, he will realize how foolish he is."
In London, it was stated that efforts on the part of President Nasser to induce governments of other Arab states to break off relations with Iran have so far brought   no   results.   Reports   re-

ceived there from various Arab countries indicate that their gov¬ ernments are hesitating to take any action against Iran.
Determined not to be Isolated in hla extreme action against Iran, Nasser haa summoned his ambas¬ sadors from all the Arab coun¬ tries to C!airo to discuss the prob¬ lem with them. Nasser's Foreign Ministry has ordered the Iranian Ambassador to hasten his depar¬ ture from Cairo.
It is now obvious that Nasser Is afraid tha't Iran's courageous ex¬ ample may be emulated by other Moslem countries which are ab¬ staining from grtvlng recognition to Israel. Nasser's Foreign Minis¬ ter Mahmoud Fawzl indicated publicly in Cairo that the United Arab Republic ia planning^ a boy¬ cott against Iran similar to that of Israel. However it is question¬ able whether other Arab countries would follow Nasser's lead in this respect. The question may come up before the Ara/b Iieaguc CJoun- cil, but the Council does not meet before Aug. 22.
The more hysterical President Nasser continues to get over the statement made by the Shah of Iran, the more obvious it becomes that his attacks on Iran are aimed at gaining more favor in the eyes ot the Soviet Government which is unfriendly to the Shah.
Nasser needs now Moscow's fa¬ vor more than ever, because the Soviet (jovemment has recently shown . inclination, not t» supply him vrith spare parts for Soviet- built military planes which he had acquired fronl the Soviet Union. Soviet pressure on Nasser is growing ever since it was an¬ nounced that Israel had bought more Jet bombers of the latest type from France which does not (Continuad   on   pag«   4)
