< IBoJ,LNo3i^Neg'otiations, W i t h Austria Snarled New Envoy Washington (WNS) — The i m p o r t a n c e of maintaining friendly relations with Israel was stressed here by Secretary of State John Foster Dulles at a swearing in ceremony of Edward B. Dawson as new American Ambassador to Israel. Voicing confidence in Ambassador Lawson's ability to discharge his duties, the Secretary of State asserted that a "very special relationship" existed with Israel but that It was "extremely important to maintain friendly understanding^ with the Jewish state. Mr. LaWBon replied that he appreciated the confidence reposed In him by Mr. Dulles and that he had no Illusions about the difficulty of bis assignment.

Israel's Chief Of Staff in US Washington (JTA)—Major General Moshe Dayan, Chief of Staff of the Israel Army, arrived here by plane for a one-month visit to the United States ns guest of tho U. S. Government. He was accompanied by Col. Itzhak Rabin and Lt. Col. Matltyahu Peled of the Israel defense forces, In a statement made upon his arrival, Gen. Dayan said he came to this country to visit military installations as a guest of the Department of the Army whose hospitality he "warmly appreciates." He .welcomed the opportunity of seeing some of America's modern m i l i t a r y equipment, advanced techniques and Improved methods of military training. Emphasizing that Israel hopes that final peace and security may come to the Middle East, Gen. Dayan declared: "Our friendship with .tho U. S. ii rooted in the common dedication to the values and"asplra.tlons 'of a free democracy." I shall be happy Indeed if during my present visit—the first official visit to the O. S. of a Chief of Staff of Israel's Defense Army—I shall be able to make my humble contribution to sustain and advance this noble cause."

Near East Tension Danger Reported Washington (JTA)—Henry A. Byroade, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Arab-Israel tension represents the greatest j j gcr In the Near East because "tha security council of the United Nations, much as we deplore the fact, will bo more and more ineffective on helping on this problem." This was revealed when the Senate committee published hearings on the Foreign Aid Bill for the new fiscal year. Mr. Byroade said the one place in tho Near East where he could not report progress was the Arab-Israel region. He reported on increasing Soviet activities in the region In what he said was a Red campaign to win {he friendship of the Arabs. Complete confidence was expressed by Mr. Byroade in Iraqi assurances that U. S. munitions grants will never bo used against Israel. He also said that counter suggestions advanced to Ambassador Eric Johnston's Jordan development scheme are "not acceptable by any means" to the United Slates. • '

Vienna (WNS)—A serious snarl has developed in the Jewish claims negotiations with the Austrian Government and unless the Austrian negotiators are prepared to retreat from settlement terms which had previously been reject-' ed as unacceptable by the Jewish delegation the talks are destined for collapse, it was reported here following disclosure that Finance Minister Reinhardt Kamiti had Withdrawn his offer of 120,000,000 schillings in lump sum settlement of helrless Jewish property, offerIng Instead a maximum of 50,000,000 schillings. In addition, the Finance Minister presented other terms which were sharply at variance with earlier often he made. As shocking as the curtailment in the lump sum offer, was tho Finance Minister's offer to restore pensions only to Jewish government employees who had been shorn of those rights by the Nazis, while, specifically excluding d o c t o r s , , lawyers and private, employees from such pension rights. This proposal was viewed by the Jewish delegation as ah act of discrimination against Jewish victims of nazism. Impediment There was some hope that Chancellor Julius Raab would be in a position to act on his earlier promise that he would attempt to have a new offer before the Jewish delegation left the country. The Chancellor said the chief impediment was the fact that Parliament was in recess for the cummer and, that no new offer could be made without Parliamentary approval. Moses Beckelman, head of the Jewish team, replied that if tho Chancellor would offer more acceptable terms, the details 6f the' offer could be postponed to'the Fall, when Parliament reconvenes. Chancellor Raab intimated ha might have a revised offer. Instead he wrote to the Jewish delegation that the matter was too complex for handling without Par-: llament. In reply, Mr. Beckelman Wrote to Dr. Raab that the Jew-, ish delegation was deeply dlsap-v pointed over the development, •-- * Following this exchange of letters, the Austrian -Government is-,. sued a communique explaining its position. The communique said the talks had raised issues whose settlement Is solely within the province of Parliament and it asserted, moreover, that It was Impossible to fix Austria's liability from the documents presented by the Jewish negotiators alone. It also pledged the Government's adherence to the principle of no discrimination In restitution and indemnification matters between Nazi victims now living in Austria and those living aboard.

Chief Rabbi Asks Peace Covenant Tel Aviv (WNS)—Chief Rabbi Isaac H. Herzog, eulogizing Rabbi Moshe Goldberg from France who was a victim of recent shooting in Jerusalem, appealed to the Moslem religious leaders In the Arab states to "Join forces to make our; Arab cousins abandon the warpath' and make a covenant of peace with Israel." •:"•.' " '• Declaring that it was Arab Legion soldiers who opened fire flrsV tho Chief Rabbi urged "the reiiglous leaders of the world not to be misled by^a smear campaign of lies and slundcrs, designed- to make It appear that Israel's soldiers deliberately fired at holy' places or that there Is an Israeli plan for1 tho conquest of the City' of Jerusalem." Rabbi' Goldberg came to Israel as a delegate from France to the Agudas Israel' World Congress. *t
