Jewish Groups Urged to Formulate Joint Plan for Iron Curtain Jews

A call to Jewish organizations interested in the fate of Eastern European Jews to pool their information and formulate a joint plan designed to benefit the Jewries of the Communist countries, was voiced here today by R. N. Carvalho, president of the Anglo-Jewish Association.

Touching upon the Middle East situation, Mr. Carvalho told a meeting of the AJA that he felt justified in asking the Western Powers to see to it that Israel was not overwhelmed “almost accidentally” in the East-West race to arm the Arabs. He insisted that Israel was “entitled” to look to the West for defensive arms.
