The United Nations failure to adequately debate the fate of the Egyptian Jews is “disconcerting, ” R. N. Carvalho, president of the Anglo Jewish Association, declared here last night at a meeting of the AJA council. He felt that the UN had not expressed in the clearest possible terms its “abhorrence” of the “Nazi-like treatment” of the Jews of Egypt.

Mr. Carvalho praised Israel’s ‘immense courage,” determination and reasonable ness in her stand on the Gaza and Akaba withdrawal situation. Israel’s attitude, he asserted, had “enhanced her status and won her the admiration of thoughtful people everywhere.”
