Local Council Takes Action
The Columbus Jewish community joined with Jewish com¬ munities In all parts of the country and national Jewish or¬ ganizations In expressing deep alarm and concern regarding reports of brutal treatment being visited by the Egyptian gov¬ ernment upon the Jews of that country.
The Columbus Jewish Community Council and its Antl- Defamatlon L«aguG-Communlty Relations Committee discus¬ sed the problem at meetings during the past week and con¬ sidered appropriate local action.
The following resolution, adopted by the Council, is being sent to all appropriate public officials with the request that they use their Influence and good offices in urging our govern¬ ment to take the action requested in the resolution:
"The Columbus Jewish Community Council is deeply con¬ cerned and alarmed with reports concerning the Ijrutal treatment by the Egyptian government of the Jews in Egypt. "According to these reports:
 Over 8,000 Jews are now in concentration camps or
under some form of incarceration.
 Close  to  17,000 'stateless' Jews  have   been   ordered
to leave the country within 30 days.  An additional 4,000 Jews, citizens of foreign  coun¬ tries, have been given seven days to leave the coun¬ try.
 Jewish property worth alniost $100,000,000 has been
confiscated or sequestered. Under the circumstances, the United Nations would-appear to tjave a compelling and urgent duty to humanity to investi¬ gate the situation of the Jews in Egypt and to use its au¬ thority to recommend such remedial action as It finds re¬ quired by the facts. "Article 0& (o) of the United Natjions Charter- provides the
^ tna Cnartcr ^callff upon fill member nations to promote:— 'Universal respect (or, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without diatlnction as to race, sex, language or religion *
"If further warrant be needed, we cite the parallel case of the recent General Assembly Resolution calling upon the Hungarian government to permit United Nations obfiervcra to enter that country In order to ascertain the facts of Soviet Intervention and the deportations of Hungarians to the Soviet Union.
"In view of the emergency confronting the Jews of Egypt, there is little time to be lost. The Columbus Jewish Com¬ munity Council, representing 41 Jewish' organizations in Co¬ lumbus, therefore, urges all our appropriate Governmental officials to uae their Influence to the end that the United "States delegation to the United Nations introduce a resolu¬ tion before the General Assembly of the United Nations, calling for:
The   immediate   dispatch  of   United   Nations   observers  to
Egypt to Investigate the plight of Jews In that nation:
An   immediate   report  by  these  observers   to   the   General
Assembly of their findings and recommendations;
Such   further  action   the   situation   inay   require   to   bring
a halt to any terror being meted out to helpless victims.
"We  are   confident   that  such" action   by   the   United   States
would command  tho support of the General  Assembly;   and
that It would help avert the total catastrophe which threatens
the Jews of Egypt;  and prevent  repetition of the  Hitler era
when the nations of the world  failed  to exert the necessary
moral Influence to end the Inhuman behavior of the Nazis."
Copies ot the resolution and a Fact Sheet arc being dis¬ tributed to all Columbus Jewish organizations by the Antl- pefamatlon League office, with the recgmmendatlon that the situation bo discussed at their next board or membership meet¬ ing.
IN RESPONSE TO the United Jewish Appeal's urgent re¬ quest for cash, Columbus made available $100,000. Shown above Is WUHam Kahn, vice-president of the United Jewish Fund, presenting Samuel H. Daroff, national chairman of the UJA, with a check at the National UJA Conference re¬ cently held In New York. Watching is WUliam Roacnwald ^'center) general chairman of the UJA.
