State Dept. Pamphlet Regional Affirms Israel Status Washington (JTA)-Thc State Department has published a pamphlet on Israel tracing the history of the Jewish State and the development ot American policy toward Israel. The pamphlet emphasized , -that the United States considers Israel today a "political reality" and stressed the "impartlnl friendship" of the American Government to all countries In the Middle East ' "Our policy toward oil countries in this vast region Is substantially the same," the State Department publication said. It pointed out that the aim of the United States is to "promote the political and economic stability of th entire .region, wjth a course of action based neither on favoritism nor on prejudice, but on the principle of safeguarding the best Interests of the United States and the free world." Declaring that Soviet attention k being shifted to the Middle East the. pamphlet said: "The unfortunate part is that both Arab and Israeli are more afraid of what tnc other might do than they arc of Communism. It is not so plain to them as it Is to us that a Communist take over would not only rob both Arab and Israeli of further chance of economic self-development, but would also wipe out the rich hcrltoRe which they hold In common with the rest of the non ' Communist world." The pamphlet asserted tha.t there arc a number of Indication* that Soviet intentions are being focused to a new degree on the Middle East "In the continued -tension between Israel and the Arab s t * t e s , the USSR,ha* a TOadymade situation -which serves its end on at least three counts." it declared. "First, the present unrest can be exploited to keep the non-Communist world or provocatucrs. There Is enough tension on both sides of the borders to fan the political fires.
Golden Age Club Chcmukah Party The Golden ARC Club will hold its annual' Chanukah party at 1 p, m. Monday, Dec. 27, In the Jewish Community Center. Members or the club will participate in the program. Mrs. A. Wohlncr will read from S ho I em Alclchcm's "Nachcs Fun Klnerj" piano selections will be by Mrs. Leonard Pinkovitz; and "Sher Dancing" will be led by Mrs, Rose Glozman. Community singing Is also planned for the party. Those who will attend arc asked to' bring a 25 cent gift to exchange with other members of the club. ' Mrs. Nathan Simon, of the National Council of Jewish Women, Omaha, Section, is in charge of luncheon arrangements. The Golden Age Club Is co-sponfbred by the Jewish Community Center and National Council of Jewish Women, Omaha Section.
"Secondly, a continuation of the economic difficulties and backwardness in the area—they could be partially overcome through a policy of cooperation—will prolong the very conditions of poverty and unrest which invite Com munlst exploitation. "Lastly, the. constant IsraelArab fear of each other can overshadow the threat of danger to the area as a whole, thus preventing' coordinated efforts for Joint defense.". Recalling t h a t Secretary of State John Foster Dulles spoke of the Arab's fear of Israel territorial expansion, and of Israel's fear that ultmately tho Arabs-may try to push her Into the sen, the pam phlet said. "Our role In this sit uatlon is ally the fears of both groups, being careful to avoid assisting one group at the expense of the other. Our main objective is the security of the region ns a whole. To this end we have asked that: ' <• "1. The Arab nations accept tnc State of Israel as a member of the Middle East community. 2. Israel look upon herself In that context, mapping her future progress within the framework of the Middle East community."

OperaTheater's First Offering By Haas Bacr
A group of young Omahans has worked for more than one year to make possible the presentation of an opera. The main initiaton ere the singer Tom J. Thompson who also is the musical director and hi* collaborator, the dancer Elfi Hosman. Last Friday and Saturday the tint show* of the newly established Omaha Opera Theater took place at the concert hall of the Jbslyn Art Museum after long rehearsals at the Jewish Comma nlty Center. The first part of the program opened with a ballet prologue created by Elfl Hosman. Hope, despair, maiden* of light and of shadow* were the theme of the group— and solo dances. A* the maidens in light and dark blue costume* glided over the: stage it was evident that Elfl Hosman, choreographer and art dancer has learned a Tot from (he greats of the German dance, from Laband, Wigraan and others. She herself appeared as a soloist with tbe talented dancer Bob Roberts and presented her remarkable gift of gracefulness, suppleness, acrobatic abilities and artistic sense. The ballet was followed by the opera, "Amahl and the Night Visiton" by Gian Carlo Menottl which was a good choice for a small ensemble, Menotti created a great •Or as an opera composer and he also proved In this (mall work, which Was commissioned for television, his own particular stylo which frees the opera from exaggerated theatrical effects and makes tho action, natural and fluent. The mother's part was played with convincing, understanding emotion by Suzanne Fisher Menz, with her fine soprano voice, a former member of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Amahl, a role written for a boy, was performed by Ronnie Lclchte, a 14-year-lad showed musical and theatrical talent, Other singers were Ed Kohout, Ray Krager, Earl Johnson and Tom J. Thompson. It Cannot be expected from an opera group, consisting of professionals and non-professionals, to present star singers. The decisive point was that the performance had artistic standard that was demonstrated by the stage management (William Johnson, Jr.), the well trained choir, the opera ballet. The costumes, and stage decoration was also handled with taste. We congratulate the young opera company and believe In its further musical development. Tho duo piano opera score was In the reliable hands of Robert Johnson and Ruth Phillips, who gave valuable support to the singers.

Stevenson Urges Border Guarantees New York (JTA)—The govern* menu of the United States, Britain and France were asked this week by Adlal Stvenson to "allay rising apprehension*" in the Middle East by reaffirming their policy, declared in 1950, of preventing possible aggression on the ArabIsrael borders, "One cannot, in good faith, take issue with the striving of our officials and other Western nations to Improve relations, co-operation and confidence In the Arab world,'' Mr. Stevenson (aid. "This would be a major goal of any administration in Washington. But one can inquire whether tensions are lessened or accommodations advanced by sending, military equipment to Arab state* if there Is any ambiguity about the purpose of such assistance—which is defense, not offense, peace, not war. "Perhaps it would help to allay rising apprehensions for Britain, France and the United States to reaffirm their policy, declared In 1950, of preventing aggression In the Middle East and to strengthen It with guarantees. And certainly any general security system In the Middle East must take into account the military potential and the democratic vitality and reliability of Israel," Mr. Stevenson emphasized. -

Jay Basketball By Ltady Paul
Ban Defends Scoring Title Hastings College won the Mineral Bowl football game because of the all around play of their "Thin Man," named Chuck Stickels. The Midget league of the JCC can acclaim their own "Thin Man,' namely Justin Ban. Just ma weigh around 90 pounds but he looks closer to 75. Yet this scrappy seventh grader, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Ban is really the pride of the Midget league, Man) of the players in the league will argue that there are better players, but none will doubt the willingness and modesty of this year old. It's a remarkable fact that In his first year of Midget competition, Just scored only one point as he was content to sit on the bench and watch the older boys play the game. However, the next year he was the ton scorer in the fifth-sixth league with 127 points, an average of 10 points a game. What makes this lad click? Well, in case the other Midget players arc reading this Its just a matte of loving the game. Justin nevci criticizes his teammates or opponents. In fact he Is tho first to commend good playing. He never doubts a call of an official and Is a real team player. Steve Lustgartcn, the top basketball official in the Youth Coun ell and Midget leagues h d this to say, "Many boys blame the official* when they aren't doing too well on the floor, yet all of the players can look to 'Just' because he really sets an example of proper behavior on as well as off the floor." We are confident that this young man has a real future in basketball and his spirit and gen tiemanly behavior are something that many of our young boys could copy. Justin has that combination of ability and sportsmanship. Those are the traits of a champion. Keep up the good work Just.
