'Expect Aaythlac "Khrushchev and his followers have aprung to many unexpected things on us recently," said one diplomat, "that now we look for almost anything to happen and it probably will." Despite their propaganda vic tories involving two Sputniks and the intercontinental ballistics mis sile, the Russians in the U.N. could line up only the Communist nations against the proposal to limit expansion of the Disarma ment Commission to 25 members. The Russians, who walked out on the 11 member commission re cently, insist that disarmament must be debated among all 12 U.N. member. It seemed clear Communist Work on the memorial and re furbishing of Duffy Square at 4fith Street will be completed in about a year. i The 'Russians already have said they will not accept" this limited ! expansion of the commission, and diplomats here said it would be 'no surprise if they came out with some sort of denunciation of the il'.N. machinery. I The consensus among foreign 'observers here is that the U.N. action is likely to provoke a new Soviet propaganda offensive aimed at pressing the Communist and the neutral worlds into closer collaboration. Some here regard Premier Nikolai Rulganin's announcement of new Soviet economic help for Egypt as a step in that direction. The visit of the Egyptian war minister, Maj. Gen. Abdel Hakim Amer, for talks with Soviet lead ers indicated more military as sistance may be on the way to the Egyptians. But even greater interest is expressed here in the size and type of economic assist ance the Kremlin has promised to Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser. .

Right-to-Work Backer Wins In California LOS ANGELES. Nov. 20 UP A Republican who strongly urged right-to-work laws expected to be an important issue in California's political wars next year has won a special Assembly election. Lou Cusanovich won by 1.206 over his closest rival. Democrat Paul Roest, whose main campaign plank was compulsory unionism. The right-to-work issue may be the key in the battle for governor ship in 1958. Sen. William Know land, who seeks the Republican nomination, is outspokenly for such legislation. Atty. Gen. Ed mund Brown, the leading Demo crat, takes an opposite view. Cusanovich got 17,346 votes to 16,140 for Roest. Two other Demo crats and a Republican trailed. The election was for the 64th As sembly District seat vacated when Republican Patrick D. Mc-j Gee moved to the Los Angeles City Council. Republicans are outnumbered by Democrats in the district 55,406 to 50,544. The election was the first voter test this year on the controversial right-to-work legislation. Jews Play Role in Early U.S. History By ARTHUR EDSOM AP Newsfeatures Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 Ofl -Nearly everyone realizes' the im portant part played by the Eng lish, French, Dutch and Spanish in developing this country. ' But when it comes to other groups, our knowledge is 'often vague and misty. ' ' Back In July, 1655. for instance, Abraham de Lucena, Salvador d'Andrada and Jacob Cohen Hen ricque made one of our earliest arguments for civil rights. A man should have the right to be buried in his own graveyard, they suggested to the authorities of New Amsterdam, later New York. Peter Stuyvesant, having, ma turely considered the problem, gave his approval. "They may bury their dead," he said, "on an unappropriated ground belonging to the com pany." (The West India Co. of Holland.) This is the earliest written rec ord of the 23 Spanish Jews who went to Brazil, ran into difficul ties with the Portuguese, and im migrated to New Amsterdam in 1654. It's a part of the museum dis play In the $1,600,000 building B'nai B'rith is dedicating this weekend. i Mainly, the museum is devoted to Jews in America, and it's nice to see that from the start they took an active and often colorful part. Those early Spanish Jews were back again soon, asking old Peter Stuyvesant for the right to trade, to buy property, for full citizen ship. By the time the colonies were ready to cut out on their own, Jonas Phillips of Philadelphia was reminding the delegates to the Constitutional Convention " that they should remember religious equality. In 1790, Moses Seixas of New port, R. I., wrote George Wash ington to congratulate him on be coming president. Washing ton wrote back a famous letter that said: , 'No Bigotry Saaetloa' "Happily 'the government of the United States . . . gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance." But it's the individuals who are the most interesting. Mordecai Manuel Noah (1795 1851), was U. S. consul in Tunis. His Job: to ransom sailors cap tured by the Barbary pirates. He later became a successful author, playwright and grand sachem of Tammany .Hall. , Noah worried about the Euro pean Jew. For a time he thought a Jewish community could be set up in this country, near Buffalo. Later he beat the Sionists to the punch by calling for a Jewish set tlement in Palestine. One curious Noah belief was that the Ameri can Indians were descendants of the 10 lost tribes of Israel. , Take Adolph Sutro (1830-1898), who came from Germany in 1850. He headed for the West, built a highly controversial tunnel to the Comstock lode, wound up as may or of San Francisco and owner of a 10th of that city's real estate. Elected to Senate Judah P. Benjamin (1811-1884), ran a successful plantation in Lou- isiana. He got elected to the Sen ate where, while seeking economy in government, be said: "Now this is to inform you that you can't humbug; senators like common folk." Benjamin remained loyal to the South, served in Jefferson Davis' Cabinet and, when the war was over and his cause had lost, fled to England to become one of that country's top barristers. The museum also has a library. devoted to the Four Freedoms, and B'nai B'rith has been scrap ulously fair. On the shelf is a book not likely to stir -up much enthusiasm among that service organization's members. It's "Mein Kampf," by A. Hit ler. Don't Ntglcct Slipping FALSE TEETH Do tab. twth drop.

JO uT Indonesia warned today that the security of all Asia is wrapped up in its claims, to sover eignty over West Irian known as West New Guinea. Indonesian Foreign Minister Subandrio Indicated to the 82-na-tioo U.N. Political Committee that this might be the last time his country will seek a U.N. settle ment of Ks bitter quarrel with the Dutch. He declared the Indonesians would prefer a U.N. settlement but added that "the patience of a peo ple k not inexhaustible." Netherlands Ambassador C.W.A. Bchurmann, speaking In the com mittee after Subandrio, accused the Indonesians of deliberately creating a "threat to peace" over the issue. May Marat WerU Schumann quoted Preside Su karno of Indonesia as saying last Nov. 7 that "if the United Nations fail us, we will resort to methods which will startle the world." The Dutch Ambassador said the situation in West New Guinea is "completely peaceful and undis turbed." and "if there is any threat to the peace, that threat does not come from The Nether lands but from Indonesia." He declared that the people of the area must decide their own future, as soon as they reach a stage in their political develop ment when this is possible. Area t'a4eflael The Dutch and Indonesians can not even get together on what to call the disputed territory, roughly equivalent in area to the state of California but with a population of only 35,000, mostly natives who live a primitive life. The Dutch refer to it as Netherlands New Guinea and the Indonesians as West Irian. The entire island of New Guinea is the second largest ta the world. This is the fourth year the issue has come before the United Na tions. Last year the Assembly took no action. A proposal by the Asian-African bloc to establish a three-nation good offices mission failed to win the necessary two thirds majority. This year the Asian-African froup has intro duced a resolution calling en both tides t try for solution in ac cord with the principles of the U.N. Charter and with the aid of Secretary General Da Hammar-skjoM. $6 Million Default Won In Oil Suit LOS ANGELES.
