Arab Parley Over Israel's Jordan Water By GEORGE MCARTIim CMRD Arab summit conference buckled down today to the hard facts of what the Arab states can't about Israel's plans to divert waters of the Jordan River.

The chiefs of state and gov- emment leaders of the 13-na- tlon Arab League were to hear reports from the league's permanent joint military committee ajid from the Arab Technical Commission for Jordan Waters. A spokesman for President Gamal Abdel Nasser of the United Arab Republic said after the opening conference session Monday the leaders unanimously agree the meeting must adopt "definite resolutions." Nasser, moving spiiit behind the conference, indicated to the opening session that the mecl- hig would bo asked to implement recommendations made in 1961 by the Arab Defense Council. These never were put into force because ttie other Arab states feared they would give Nasser control of the Arab world. The 1961 i-ccommendations include establishment of a joint Arab general command, a survey of each nation's fighting foiices and the ultimate placing of tliese armies "at the disposal of a supreme command." Before the conference, Nasser said the Arabs could not use force against Israel "because our circumstances do not enable us to do so." But he told the conference Monday the 1D61 recommendations look toward unified military action, with the Arab world using "all its forces together with foreign aid." "This means Arab countries must fbe ready to destroy Israel's military preparations," Nasser declared. The conference was being accompanied by moves to end quarrels between individual Arab states.

Local Chairman Greets March Of Dimes Girl T'HE MARCH OF DIMES TMB NATIONAI -OUi'DAT Pictured above Is Mrs. Marian Sllvka, chairman of the Jefferson county chapter of The National Foundation Jfarch of Dimes, as slio recently greeted little Mary Lou Graves, 6, Flint, Michigan, 1064 National March of Dimes girl. Little Mai7 Lou, victim of a birth defect known as open spine, was guest at a meeting held to formulate plans for the annual campaign of The National Foundation-March of Dimes to raise funds to fight birth defects and arthritis. The March of Dimes is the largest single national source of private support for research and patient care in these two disease areas.

The fact that one in every sixteen Ameiican infants is bom defective 250,000 cvei7 year makes this the biggest child health problem in America today. But the March of Dimes doesn't measure this problem by numbers. It is a problem of human feelings and liuman the shattering blow to people who have done nothing to deserve it the child, the parents, the whole family. Realizing the extent of this problem, the March of Dimes, having won it's fight against polio is now leading the fight against birth defects. If Mary Lou had been bom a few years earlier, she might have lived only a matter of months.

But scientists are finding ways to treat birth defects. This lovely child was saved and now is being helped by the March of Dimes. However, many American children are not saved and that is why the March of Dimes is financing 44 Birth Defects Treatment Centers throughout the country in an all-out effect to face the problem and do something about it. Your dimes will help to meet this challenge, and it is with the help of your contribution that The National Foundation can win these battles. When you are afforded the opportunity to contribute to this cause by one of the many volunteers, please give generously.
