• WARNING
TO ADVERTISERS
$ Texas Jewish Post #
We’ve been plagued these past few weeks with a group of
- racketeers who have come into Dallas for the prime purpose ©f
confusing and deceiving advertisers in order to pick up a fast
buck. And it’s quite possible that they may be headed toward F©rt
Worth, too!
,-yr There are so many other momentous problems that we’ve had
©n tap to jaw about.
But we’ve g©t to pause — with the high hope that our
cherished advertisers, manv of whom have become personal
^ friends, will take time and consider this message and spread the
word.
The group that’s operating now uses this pitch: They tele-
phone and represent themselves as being local. Most times they
say they are the “Texas Jewish Post” and use confusing names
.. that may sound alike but certainly are not.
Let the buyer beware!
The phonies that are operating are fly-by nights.
They have no subscriptions of any extent in this area and are
using a “pitch” for holiday selling.
After they finish duping advertisers on a Jewish sounding
periodical, they switch to a Catholic or Protestant or even a La-
-bor paper. Daily papers have even felt the harm caused from
these racketeers.
They can change names and aliases faster than a quick-change-
artist.
We’re soon to enter our nineteenth year of weekly publica
tion. We’re the only recognized English-Jewish weekly newspaper
in the Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area that is mailed on a paid
subscription basis.

ISRAEL COMPLAINS TO UN
ON ATTACKS BY SYRIA
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (JTA)—Israel has complained to
the United Nations Security Council against “recent armed
attacks by Syrian forces upon Israel’s citizens and civilian activr
ities in the vicinity of the Israel-Syrian border.-’ These attacks,
according to the complaint, “constitute most flagrant violations
of the Israel-Syria General Armistice Agreement,” and “the
deteriorating border situation is a serious threat to interna-
tional peace and security.”
Israel’s permanent representative here. Ambassador Mi-
chael Comay, sent the letter of
complaint to the president of
the Security Council after an
earlier conference with Secre-
tary-General U Thant and Dr.
Ralph J. Bunche, Undersecre-
tary for Special Political Af-
fairs. Mr. Comay was accom-
panied at that conference by
Lt. Col. Yaacov Monbaz, a
member of Israel’s permanent,
mission here. The Ambassador
requested that the United Na-
tions use its full weight and in-
fluence to halt further aggres-
sion by Syria.
Mr. Comay's letter did not
ask for a meeting of the Secur-
ity Council hut only that the
contents be circulated to all
members of the Council. Ac-
cording to the letter, Syria has
been making sporadic attacks
against Israel along its border
since it broke "a long period of
calm along this border” on
June 9. In his letter and at-
tached appendix. Mr. Comay
listed 29 cases of shooting at-
tacks from Syrian positions at
Israel’s citizens and civilian ac-
tivities in the border area in the
four-week period from June 9
to July 6, In; each ease, he in-
formed the Council, Israel’s
complaints were submitted to
the Syrian-Israel Mixed Armis-
tice Commission and, except
during attacks on July 2 and
July 6. “no fire was returned
from the Israel side of the
border.”
During the various attacks,
Israel suffered four casualties.
One of the wounded, according
to Mr. Comay. is still in a crit-
ical condition. Syrians, he
stated, used rifles, tanks. 82-
mm Soviet-type, recoilless guns
and various other weapons, as
well as incendiary bullets
which set fire to crops and
other Israeli possessions “caus-
ing extensive damage.” One of
the attacks, Mr. Comay report-
ed. on July 2. lasted over seven
hours.
Meanwhile in Jerusalem,
Mrs. GoJda Meir, Israel’s For-
eign Minister, expressed to the
acting chief of the United' Na-
tions Truce Supervision Organ-
ization, Israel’s serious view of
the renewed Syrian attacks oq-
Israel’s northern sector.

SAN FRANCISCO (JTA> — Anti-Israel testimony
by a former U.S. Ambassador before the Republican
Platform Committee drew sharp response from members
of the committee. The witness, Harold B. Minor, of th'e
Citizens Committee on American Policy in the Near
East, called for an “impartial” Near Eastern policy, elimi-
nation of the traditional Arab-Israel peace plank, and
attacked Israel on the Jordan River water plan and on
Arab refugee issue.
Rep. Silvio 0. Conte of Massachusetts indicated that
Mr. Minor was hypocritical in asking “impartiality” and
termination of “partisan” considerations when he simul-
taneously took liberty to single out Israel for blame. The
Congressman asked the witness why he didn't find fault
with President Nasser for purchasing Soviet jet bombers
to threaten Israel. He said the witness asked the com-
mittee not to inject the Israel issue into domestic politics
but had injected one-sided
anti-Israel allegations.
Mr. Minor replied that
American influence with
Nasser had improved and
that the Platform Com-
mittee did not have all the
facts on the situation. Rep.
Conte replied, that as a
jndmber of Congress who
serves on the Foreign Aid
Subcommittee, he felt be
was in possession of first-
hand information regard-
ing the Nasser regime’s
threats to peace. He made
clear that he felt Minor’s
testimony to be biased.
Questions also arose
from the Platform Com-
mittee on why Mr. Minor,
in view of his injection of
anti-Israel issues, did not
also cite problems like
the continued presence of
Fgvptian troops in Yemen.
Tie replied that it would
nr*' >e in the American in-
v. t. to do so.
relegate William Wright
of Nevada asked Mr. Mi-
nor how he could claim im-
partiality when he sought
to blame Israel for its water
development program. The wit-
ness replied that the M ater di-
version scheme wras a threat to
peace. Mr. Minor is a former
American Ambassador to Leb-
anon who served 30 years in
the State Department. Ke was
supported by delegate Victor
Hruska of Florida.
eember 1961.
“We favor regional economic
cooperation, an end to boycotts
and blockades, freedom of nav-
igation in ihe Suez Canal, the
resettlement of the Arab refu-
gees in Arab countries where
there is land and opportunity
for them. We oppose discrimi-
nation against American citi-
zens on the ground of race or
religion.
“We will continue to support
the equitable and constructive
use of the water resources of
the Jordan-Yarmuk system, as
recommended by the Eisen-
hower Administration, and we
support the water programs of
Israel and Jordan, which are
within the framework of that
plan.
“We will continue economic
assistance to the peoples of the
Near East but we will insist
that our assistance be used for
development to raise living
standards and not to- finance
preparations for aggressive
war.
"The peace of the Near East
is menaced by the reckless So-
viet arms shipments to Egypt
and other Arab states, by
Egypt's expansionist policies
and persistent Arab threats to
destroy Israel. To avert new
hostilities and to ensure sta-
bility we will take measures
’to prevent an arms imbalance
and to integrate Israel into our
defense system so that she may
be strong enough to defend
herself and to deter attack.”

The anti-Zionist views of
the American Council for Ju-
daism were presented to the
Committee later by William S.
Louchheim. He proposed the
adoption by the Republican
convention of a specific plank
reaffirming what he said was
a United States Government
position that this country does
not recognize the concept of a
“Jewish people.”
He advocated actions to force
Zionist agencies in the United
States to be registered by the
Government “to protect United
States citizens from unwitting-
ly serving a political and for-
eign nationality cause, when
they believe they are advanc-
ing religion or philanthropy.”
He also advocated prevention
of alleged efforts of what he
described as an Israeli Zionist
conspiracy to “conquer the
communities” of United States
Jews.
Mr. Louchheim charged that
since 1924, the United States
has followed a policy of “omis-
sions or acquiescence” in re-
sponse to Zionist activities. He
said that candidates for public
office falsely assumed that the
“voting habits of Jewish citi-
zens in American elections are
predicated upon a promise of
political support for Israeli
projects.”
Earlier in its sessions, thirty
Republican Senators and Rep-
resentatives submitted a state-
ment on the Israel-Arab prob-
lem to the platform commit-
tee. -The statement pledges to
.work for direct Arab-Israel
peace negotiations, endorse the
Jordan water-sharing project,
and favors continued American
economic aid to Middle East
countries to be used for devel-
opment to raise living stand-
ards “but not to finance prep-
arations for aggressive war.”
The text of the proposed
statement reads:
“In the Near East, we will
work for an Arab-Israel peace
as a major objective of our pol-
icy. To that end. we will sup-
port the integrity and inde-
pendence of all the states of
the area and we will urge the
Arab states and Israel to ne-
gotiate directly to resolve all
their differences at the confer-
ence table.
“We deplore as a setback to
the attainment of peace thehp-
position of our UN delegation
to the resolution calling for
Arab-Israel peace negotiations

Note To Dallas Advertisers
Beware Of Racket Solicitations
Those old racketeers are at it again!
Reports this week to oar Dallas office from our ad-
vertisers have revealed that a group of hit and run
operators are calling advertisers of this newspaper for
New Year Greeting insertions with the gimmick that
they are representing the Texas Jewish Post.

Jewish newspaper serving the Greater Dallas-Fort Worib
Area. We maintain offices at the Fidelity Building, 1000
9Eun Street. Onr telephones are RI 7-3719 or FL 1-4372.
Soon to enter its'l 9th year of continuous publica-
tion, the Texas Jewish Post is a member of the Texas
Press Association, American Jewish Press Association,
Better Business Bureau and numerous other trade and
professional organizations.
The publisher of the Texas Jewish Post, also serves
as national secretary of tne American Jewish Press As-
sociation and is chairman ot its watchdog committee on
unscrupulous tactics by pseudo-publishers who hit and
run into communities wnere established English-Jewish
newspapers are recognized.
These solicitors usually say that they are local and
often say they are working tor the Texas Jewish Post.
We urge onr advertisers not to be duped.
Ask the solicitor to call on you in person. Ask him
to show‘yon a copy of xne Texas Jewish Post with bis
identification. Do not pay for any advertising in ad-
