HO. 4400 “Washington's Automotive Headquarters” 19.000 at Zionist Rally Hear Taft Urge U. N. Arm to Defend Israel By the Associated Press NEW YORK, May 17.—A cheer ing, flag-waving Zionist rally last night heard ^Senator Taft, Republi can, of Ohio, propose that the United Nations use armed force “to prevent aggressions against Israel.” Speaking to a crowd that packed Madison Square Garden, the aspir ant for the Republican presidential nomination also udged: That the United States lift im mediately its embargo on the ship ment of arms to the Middle East. That the U. N. Securitl Council “recognize the new state of Israel and give it membership in the United Nations.” Economic Pressure Possible. “We must urge the use of a United Nations armed' force,” Sen ator Taft said, “to prevent aggres sion against Israel when that oc curs.” He added that such action may come “too late to prevent blood shed!” “If all else fails,” he said, “we have some economic pressures of our own we may have to use.” His address brought frequent and long bursts of applause from the 19, 000 who jammed the Garden, which was bedecked with American colors and flags of the new Jewish state. The huge arena was filled to ca pacity long before the "Salute to Israel” rally began. An estimated 75.000 were turned away at the door. Opened With Hebrew rrayer. Police halted traffic on Forty ninth street to provide space for the thousands who stood in the rain outside to hear the program over loudspeakers. The rally, sponsored by tne American Zionist Emergency Coun cil was opened with a prayer in Hebrew by Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president of the Zionist Organiza tion of America. “This dav,” he said, marks the “culmination of 2.000 years of exile and anguish.” Many in the crowd wept during the prayer. Senator Taft commended Presi dent Truman for his “prompt recog nition of the new republic.” He said that if the United Na tions is prevented from aiding the new Jewish state by “an obstruc tionist veto." then other steps must be undertaken._ Chile has a serious problem in the decreasing percentage of work ers on farms._..
