WASHINGTON, (JTA) -- The Zionist Organisation of America adopted a resolution deploring "re¬ cent actions of our State Depart¬ ment" in arming Iraq and making other offers of "arms or military arrangements" which "have only encouraged the Arab governments to believe that an Arab-Israel peace is not Imperative and that they may continue to provoke ten¬ sions and outbreaks along Israel's borders witdx impunity."
Tho ZOA called on the U. S. ¦'to alter this policy, particularly In view of the fact that no arms or mutual security pact have yet been offered to Israel." The resolution sold the ZOA was "deeply disturb¬ ed by the unabated tension." A de¬ fense treaty Unking Israel with the United States was urged as a so¬ lution for and means of strength¬ ening Middle Eastern stablJity. The U. S. Government was com¬ mended for continuing , economic and technical assistance to Israel and workjng towai'd a regional water agreement.
Attorney General Herbert Brownejl, Jr., addressing the con¬ vention, assured the delegates that the U. S. was "not unmindful" of Israel's security. "It Is our hope and our desire," he stated, "that area defense arrangements will de¬ velop through which all countries In the area can contribute- toward their mutual protection Jigoinst ag-: gression from the CominunlBt men¬ ace. This is definitely In our own interest and represents a major element In our policy for the Mid¬ dle East and for strengthening the defense of the free world."
Brownell said the "issues of the Arab-Israel conflict can be ¦ re¬ solved   through   patience   and   un¬
derstanding. It is the task of every¬ one to recognize this and to work toward it" He cited a recent mos- s&Se by President Elsenhower re¬ questing Congressional approval for Mutual Security legislation, in which the President indicated economic aid qjnd regional water development would do much to eliminate the causes of Arab-Isrkel tension- Stating his belief that "Israel's destiny will remain linked wtth that of the U. S., Brownell said: "Now, I am persuaded that in our relations with Israel, any differ¬ ences which may arise from time to time win undoubtedly be re¬ solved to the mutual satisfaction of both countries. Occasional differ¬ ences are bound to arise between the friendliest of nations, and the government of the United States has encountered this even in Its dealings with Its closest allies. But while there are strong ties of mu¬ tual interest, identity of outlook and common osph-ations, the dis¬ agreements are bound to be tem¬ porary. The geographic distance between the Potomac and Jordan Rivers may be* great, but there Is certainly little difference In spirit between the two cou'htries."

Rabbi Newmark conducted serv¬ ices Saturday morning.
Brownell assured the ZOA dele¬ gates that "Israel stands high on the list of nations whose friend¬ ship is of great importance to thc American Government and people. We see In Israel a pik)t-plant of American ideas in an area of thc worid that sorely needs these con¬ cepts, a striving after goals that are similar to our own, "he stated. Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Min¬ nesota Democrat, addressing thc ZOA ¦ parley, called on the Admin¬ istration to conclude a defense pact, with Israel and' support direct ne¬ gotiations between Israel and the Arab states.
Dr. Emanuel Neumann, told the convention that "a full explana¬ tion of the Administration's Middle Eastern policy and course of action Is long overdue. "To temporize Is only to aggravate a critical situa¬ tion which is rapidly deteriorating. The State Departnient has official¬ ly declared that a defense pact with Israel would be highly logical. Let then Pres. Eisenhower and Secretary Dulles have the courage and leadership to take this con structive step and do It now."
Rabbi Irving Miller, chairman of the American Zionist Council, ex¬ pressed a view that It is time for a conciliatory move by the Kremlin "Insofar as the status of Zionism and, Zionists In Soviet Russia is concerned, "in view of the concllla,- tory attitude toward the West "professed by the present rulers ot Soviet Russia aimed at the casings of world tensions."
He appealed to the Soviet Union to permit contact by world Jewry with Iron Curtain Jewry and to remove "tht unjust ahd cruelly re¬ pressive measures against those Jews who are suspected of harbor^ (cmiUmmI oh psK* 6)
