UAR Presses For Front Against Iran
(Copyright, 1960, by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Inc.) LONDON (JTA)—The United Arab Republic has pressed forward on several fromts to enforce a United Arab front against Iran because Shah Mahmond Pahlevi had reaffirmed his country's de facto recog¬ nition of Israel, and to block any move in other Moslem lands to relax the barriers against the Jewish State.
Mohammed Abdul Hassouna, Secretary General of the Arab League, announced before his departure on a two-weok pilgrimage to the Kremlin that he was con- —^^»—^—^«»^^^—^—

THE LEAGUE Itself came un¬ der bitter atttack when Premier Hazza Majali of Jordan called a press conference in Amman to de¬ nounce the league as under the domination of President Nasser ot the UAR and to assail Nasser for his "irresponsibOe" abuse ot the Shah.
He accused the Egyptian dic¬ tator of making unwarranted at¬ tacks on the Shah and on Jordan's King Hussein in order to divert attention from deteriorating con¬ ditions within the UAR.
THE JORDANIAN poUUclan made public a message trom the Shah to King itussein in which he stressed that his statement had not implied any change in Iran¬ ian-Israel relations. Official or legal   recognition   of   Israel   had

Bond Appeal On High Holidays Being Planned
BY DAVID HOROWITZ
UNITED NATIONS (AJP)—What happens to a man whose own  professed "ideology" finds in him the greatest opponent?
This Is precisely the dilemma bedeviling dictator Nasser in his relations with the Bandung states whose leaders eye him with a curious mistrust. Most of them cannot accept his uncompromis¬ ing and unrealistic position vls-a-vls Israel.
IN THE HISTORIC BANDUNO Conference—convened by Afrcf-Asians and in which Nasser was accepted as a leader aicng with India's Prime Minister Nehru in the enunciation of the doctrine of "neutralism"—^the idea of friendly coexistence with all peoples was proclaimed.
However, at that conference—to the dismay ot the Bandung delegates—Nasser made an exception to that doctrine—Israel. Somehow he managed to force them to keep the Jewish State out at the peril of an Arab walkout. The Bandung group yielded to Nasser's pressure but without accepting his anti-Israel hostility.
To be sure, the principles of neutralism was born out of the desire to stay out of the Big Power struggle in the cold war. But now, with the birth ot many new African states, the idea is broad¬ ening out to mean that each Bandung state is, in spirit, committed to a policy ot friendship with all people, the exception being only those who become deliberate enemies,  and even with these the
conflict  must  be  resolved forglve-and-torget.
In   a   spirit   of  the   earliest  possible
NASSER HOWEVER, HAS DRAWN THE persistent excep¬ tion to his own doctrine in the case ot Israel, and while he has won over some African states to this course—such as Lybia, Tunisia and Morocco, Arab states—he finds it hard to bold the line south of the Sahara.
In non-Arab Africa, great national leaders unanimously are interpreting neutilalism in the broad sense ot friendship with all people, including Israel. These new lands, now being born by the dozen, have successfully resisted his attempts- -both at the Accra Ctonference and the Addis Ababa meeting; of African states—to adopt resolutions against Israel.
EVEN IN THE Middle East, Iron has finally abandoned an untenable position and accorded Israel public recognition. Nasser and ei-Kassim, deeply disturbed that a Moslem state should so recognize Israel, struck back furiously with diplomatic rupture.
If Nasser is consistent in applying the same punishment to all the African states who work with Israel or who are prepared to work with her, he will find himself the most isolated member in the Bandung family. The Africans are making no exception  to

Argentina-Israel Eichmann Dispute Over; Friendly Relations To Resume
BY ASHER MIBASHAN
JTA Staff Correspondent
BUENOS AIRES (JTA)—Argentine and Israel spokesmen agreed last week that thf formal accord reached here between the two countries had closed the Adolf Eichmann incident and would mark the resumption of the normal, friendly relations which formerly prevailed.
Tho two governments had been at odds since last May' when Argentina   formally   protested   to
the United Nations Security Coun cil that Israel had violated Argen¬ tine sovereignty in the capture of Adolf.  EHchmann,   the   Nazi   war
More than 700 syrjagogues and temples in various parts of the United States and Canada are making plana for intensive partici¬ pation In a special High Holiday effort on behalf of State of Israel Bonds, it was anttounx;ed by Wil¬ liam Schlff, Columibus communal leader, who Is serving as Coium- bus chairman for High Holidays of the Israel Bonds Conunlttee.
Reporting on the local com¬ munity, Schlff stated that syna¬ gogue boards have enthusiasti¬ cally rea(ponded to the need for making the forthcoming High Holidays "an occasioni of renewed dedication In behalf of Israel's spiritual and cultural future through greater support ot ita economic development."
SCHIFF ALSO pointed out that the national traditional High Holi¬ day edfoEt tor Israel Bonds haa
in the past provided a substantial portion of the annual receipts. Last year, he said, more than $7,250,000 was received for IsrEiel Bonds as a result of special activi¬ ties in synagogues during Rosh Hashonah tmd Yom Kippur.
On the basia of preparations re¬ ported in June, the Israel Bond leader estimated that approxim¬ ately $8,000,000 would be realized for Israel Bonds from the 1960 High  Holiday program.
THE BMPORTANOE which the State of Israel Eittaches to the special High Holiday effort for Israel Bonds, Schlff noted, is re¬ flected in statements just received from Chief Rabbi Isaac Nissim of Israel, and from Rabbi M, J. E. Wohlegelernter, secretary general of the Chlei Rabbinate of Israel.

PARLEY ADOPTS 5 PRINCIPLES ON RELIGIOOS ISSOES
NEW YORK (JTA) — Catholic, Protestant and Jewish representa¬ tives meeting in a two-day con¬ ference in Washington, formulat¬ ed a five-point set of principles to govern discussion c»f religious issues in the 1960 political cam¬ paigns.
The Jewish participants in the meeting were Rabbi Url Miller, of Baltimore, vice-president of the Synagogue (Council of America, and Rabbi Bernard Bamberger, president of the Oentral Confer¬ ence of American Rabbis. The conference was sponsored by the Pair Election Campaign Prau!- tices Ck)mm.ittee in a move to keep bigotry and prejudice out of the presidential  campaign.
THE FIVE principles adopted were:
1. It is proper and desirable that every pulxllc official should attempt to govern his conduct by a personal conscience that Is formed by his religious faith.
2. NO CANDIDATE for public office should be opposed or sup¬ ported because of his particular religioiw affiliation.
3. A candidate should be judged by his qualifications tor the office he seeks and by his position on issues relevant to that office. He may properly be questioned about suoh issues and about the bearing of his religious faith and con¬ science on them. A candidate's religion is relevant to a voter's decision, but only so far as It bears on such political Issues.
4. STIRRINa up, fostering or tolerating religious animosity or injecting elements of a candidate's faith not relevant to the duties of the office he seeks are unfair campaign practices.
6. Intelligent, honest and tem¬ perate public discussions of the relation of religious faith to the public issues will, as it has al¬ ready done, nalse the whole level of the campaign.
criminal who directed the exterm¬ ination of six million Jews, and in removing him from Argentina to Israel.
THE BRElAOH was officially clos.ed by publication of a joint statement in this city and Jeru¬ salem which declared; "The Gov¬ ernments of Israel and Argentina, animated by the wish to comply with the Security Council resolu¬ tion of Juru! 23, in which hope was expressed that the traditionally friendly relations between the two countries will be advanced, have decided to regard as closed the incident that arose from action by Israel nationals which infringed on the tundampntal rights of Ar¬ gentina."
Angel Oenteno, Argentine For¬ eign Under.Secretary confirmed that Argentina regarded Israel's acknowledgmerit in the joint com¬ munique that Argentine rights had been violated, together with the diplomatic action taken by his own government, as the "ade¬ quate reparation" which was de. manded of Israel in the Security Council resolution ot June 23. He oomraented that "World opinion will judge how Argentina acted in this matter."
THE RAPPROCHEMENT be¬ tween the two countries followed the visit here ot Dr. Shabtal Ro- senne, legal adviser to the Israel Foreign^ Ministry, who had per¬ sonal meetings with President Arturo Frondizi and Foreign Min¬ ister Diogenes Taboada.
Dr. Rosenne, who carried out the negotiations mainly with his Argentine counterpart, Luis de Pablo Pardo, told the JTA that the talks were held in an informal atmosphere without any "philoso¬ phical entanglements."
HE SAID THAT when he left Jerusalem, his Instructions had been to find out what kind of satisfaction the Argentine Gov¬ ernment waa seeking from Israel in connection with the Eichmann affair. When he arrived here. Dr. Rosenne said, he found that the stage had been already set tor the expulsion of the Israel Ambassa¬ dor Aryeh Levavl.
He became aware, he said, of the fact that the Argentine Gov¬ ernment needed such a spectacu¬ lar measure. It was after the an¬ nouncement that Ambassador Le¬ vavl was persona non grata, that the accord became possible, Dr. Rosenne indicated.
ASKED ABOUT the redeslgna- tlon ot ambassadors by the two countries. Dr. Rosenne said they would be named very soon, pos¬ sibly after the Jewish holidays early in October. He said that he hoped the normalization of rela¬ tions between the two countries would be accompanied by "better feelings" in the local Jewish com¬ munity.
"An uncommon situation was created primarily by an uncom¬ mon phenomenon — Eichmann," Dr. Rosenne declared. He said that normal legal standards could not be applied in this case.
A BUENOS AIRES judge, mean¬ while, has ordered an investiga¬ tion into the kidnaping of Eich- marm here last May. The order was Issued by Federal Judge Leo- poldo Isurralde on the basis of a complaint brought by Eichmann's wife. Vera. Judge Issuralde ruled, however, that Mrs. Eichmarm had no legal right to sue since Eich¬ mann was the person directly af¬ fected.
Meanwhile in London, the Lon¬ don Daily Telegraph reported from Buenos Aires that Israeli Premier David Ben-Gurlon may visit the Argentine "within the next few months."
THE PAPER said that this ges¬ ture ot friendship would coincide with the resumption of normal diplomatic relations by the reap¬ pointment of an Israeli Ambassa¬ dor to Argentina. The paper re¬ marked that the joint Israel-Ar¬ gentine communique of last week "wiped  the  slate  clean"   between
