"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

must be debated among all 12

diplomats here said it would be
'no surprise if they came out with

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

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.

Indonesia,
Dutch Stir
U.N. Squabble
Br MILTON BESSER
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y Nov.
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.
