Arab Life In Israel Shows
Little Change Over Years
THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1954
BEERSHEBA, Israel W The
harsh wasteland of Israel's Negev
Desert Is home to some 12.000 Be.
douin Arabs whose way of life la
little changed from their ancestor's
centuries ago.
They live in black tents, open
toward the east like those of the
Old Testament patriarchs. They
pasture their flocks of sheep and
goats on the desert's scanty
growths and travel from water hole
to water hole on camels.
The Bedouins of the Negev, the
triangle-shaped southern part of Is
rael's territory, are split up Into
19 tribes. Each of the tribes has a
sheikh who is leader. Judge and
registrar of births and deaths for
his people.
Second to the sheikh are the
Hajjis, those who have made the.
pilgrimage to the Moslem holy
places. All the Bedouins are Mos
lems, although most pay little at
tention to ritual.
In the daily life of a Bedouin
tribe, every member pitches In to
do his share of the necessary
work. The men cultivate ine
..nero llaIHe fir VPffPtable ttlotX.
The women do the cooking, the
mending and spinning, ana carry
the wood and water. Children tend
the flocks, taking them out to
graze and bringing them back safe
again at night.
Relations between the Israeli
Bedouins and the Jewish settlers
In the Negev are neighborly. Jew

Despite their acceptance of many
phases of modern medicine, the

Hoymes Ouster
MANCHESTER, N.H. ifih-Wayne
E. Richards, national commander
of the Veterans of Foreign Wars,
said last night his organization had
something to do with trying to get
crooner Dick Haymes deported,
He told a banquet meeting that
the VFW had asked U.S. Atty. uen.
Herbert Brownell to deport
Haymes. and added:
"I read In some of the papers
that Dick and his wife, Rita Hay
worth, are .charging 'pressure' in
government for their departure.
They don't Identify the influence.
I'll gladly take part of the lnflu.
ence."
He said also: "I say if any man
like Haymes makes a lot of dough
In this country and. is afraid, or
rlefuses to serve his country in time
oT need, he can go back to Argen
tlna and take Rita with him."
Neither Haymes nor his attorney
could be reached for comment.
Dying Doctor
Plans 'Exit'
SEATTLE I A Seattle doctor,
dying with cancer, thinks other
persons in his situation could well
spend their final days tn produc
tive living rather 'than In inactive
dread. 1
Aware for six months that he Is
hopelessly ill of cancer, Dr. Mer
rill Shawv 50, vice president oi me
American - Academy of General
Practice, says he has had time
for a "prepared exit."
Meanuiille.the said In an inter
view published yesterday, he has
been able to do uie inings ne al
ways has wanted to do but never
before had the time.
The period after a patient learns
of his condition, he said, can ne
hiphlv Droductive.
"The cancer victim who Is head
of a family, for instance, has the
time to be an adviser to nis sur.
vivors." He has a college-age son
and daughter..
The fear of cancer is a friend
of cancer, he warned, because It
"shuts far too many people off'
from going to a doctor for early
diagnosis lest he find they have
cancer."

mediate council action on the new
Israeli charge, the Jewish nation's
ambassador to the United States
and the U.N., Abba Eban, planned
to meet In Washington today with
Secretary of State Dulles.
Eban was expected to press
Dulles also for arms for Israel and
ban on such shipments to the
Arab stales. Israel Premier Moshe
Sharett called for these In a speech
to his Parliament In Jerusalem
yesterday, though he named no
nation as an arms supplier.
Sharett also Instructed his am
bassadors In London and Paris to
nrpa their nation's case there.
Representatives of the seven
Arab states had called on Dulles
Tuesday. Afterward they said they
told him "mounting tension in
the Near East . . . Is caused by
Israel" and that they would regard
an aggression against any one of
the Arab nations "as being upon
them all."
.Eban conferred last night with
Hammarskjold, who earlier yes
terday had discussed the tense
Palestine situation with Henry
Cabot Lodge Jr., the chief U.S.
delegate; Lodge's deputy, James
J. Wadsworth; British Delegate Sir
Plerson Dixon; and Charles Lucet
of France. '
Arab delegates had visited Ham
marskjold Saturday and charged
Israel was missing troops on their
borders. Israeli spokesmen denied
this -and in Jerusalem yesterday
an Israeli army spokesman said
Syria had moved a brigade up to
Israel's borders.
Sharett In his speech' to Parlia
ment called for the "utmost pre
paredness and the strengthening ot
Israel's defenses."
Why Pay More?
You don't save money when
you buy "off-breed," unknown
brands of groceries; nor do
you save money when you
buy so-called cheap meat. The
final test of food is how it
"eats," and if you have, to
throw away food because you
can't eat it, you're not saving
moneyl Our groceries are
standard brands, our meats
"Good" and "Choice," and at
low prices. Why pay more?
