"Don't Let The Dust Settle," Says Senator
NEW YORK, (JTA) — The United States Government was urged to take the initiative in pressing the Arab rulers for the acceptance Of the proposal made lost week at the United Nations General As¬ sembly for Arab-Israel negotiations to create a "pilot disarmament plot" in the Middle East. The proposal was made by Mrs. Golda Meir, Israel's Foreign Minister.
The call upon the U.S. Government was voiced by Senator Ken¬ neth  B.  Keating, New York Re
¦ publican. In a public address. At the same time, Senator , Keating also challenged the Arab states to agree to the proposal. "The Ardb countries," he said, "have con¬ stantly called on the United States and the Soviet Union to undertake such a pact. The time has come for us to call on them to act re¬ sponsibly in their own part of the world. Instead of merely crating about others."
Senator Keating, who apoke at a conference of the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America, warned that the United States could not afford to "wait and let the dust settle" in the Middle East He pointed out that only the Soviets are benefiting from the continued stalemate.  A  pilot  Middle  Eaat

"The goal of United States policy," Senator Keating continu¬ ed, "should be to promote a set¬ tlement of the Middle Eastern Imbroglio on terms that will in¬ sure Israel's continued survival and survival as a free nation and a Jewish homeland and enable all the countries of the area to work together for human progress. What's more, I believe that the achievement of a more lasting peace In the Middle Bast is so Important, so essential to the in¬ terests of the United States and of' the free world that it should have highest priority. Time is not necessarily on our side In the Mid- die East.
"It is dangerously clear that the only nation which really gains from the present situation in the Middle East is the Soviet Union," Ihe Senator said. "The Arab na¬ tions are suffering from thoir own policies as well as Israel. They are Impoverishing themselves to main¬ tain an arms buildup that is sup¬ posed to Intinvidate Israel. The in¬ ternal sacrifices necessary to maintain this armory make eco¬ nomic development far more dif¬ ficult and provide the communists with a ma,de-to-order issue for stirring up discintent. Moreover, the spectacular arms deals which Nasser arranged with Czechoslo¬ vakia In 1955 gave the Russians their biggest propaganda gain to date In the Middle East.

in    Washington"    and    that    tbe
policy makers there agree that it

Torah Academy To Honor Harry Gilbert
On Oct. 29, at 6 p.m., In the Grand Ballroom of the Deshler Hilton Hotel, the Board pf , Di¬ rectors of the Columbus Torah Academy will have the pleasure of honoring Harry Gilbert, its president and  founder.
Sam Levenson, the noted tele- visioni and entertainment world figure, will be present to lend mirth to the evening's program.
Harry Gilbert has long been an exponent of the type of in¬ tensive, traditional Jewish educa¬ tion the Torah Academy provides. It was largely due to his dedi¬ cated efforts, and to his encour¬ agement ot a small group of men and women who were also advo¬ cates of such an educational in¬ stitution that the Torah Academy opened its doors with 11 first graders in 1958. Largely because of hia continued labor on behalf of this school, it has grown to have four grades and a kinder¬ garten, i>oasting 85 students.
Harry Gilbert's life has been spent in aiding, supporting and encouraging religious, cultural and civic   organizations  in   our   com-
