The report presented by Arthur

pared to 25 in 1888 and 55 in

Since the fund was established
in 1921 the sum of $32,387,275

Michael Traub, director of the

that during the pant five years
German Jewry had supplied the

Terrorism Continues; Internation-
al Telephone Service Suspended
JERUSALEM. — (WNS) —
Government suspension of all in-
ternational telephone service from
Palestine, and censorship of re-
ports on the disturbances were
enforced here'as Arab violence in
the Holy Land tolled the death of
many, and injured scores, both
Jews and Arabs. Curfew con-
tinued in effect in Jaffa—where
a bomb explosion last Friday re-
sulted in the death of 32 Arabs—
in Jenin, Tulkarem, Nablus and
Ramleh.
It was learned from Arab
sources that an
■ appeal ad-
dressed to Arab terrorists by
leading Moslem religious lead-
ers urging them to abstain from
murder and violence during the
three-month penitential period
known as Shehur Al Harem,
was angrily rejected by leaders
of the disorders. In some in-
stance. the Arab terrorists
showed their displeasure with
the plea of the Moslem clergy
by sending threatening letters
to Moslem priests. The appeal
to the terrorist ringleaders is
said to have been signed by
prominent Arab religious fig-
ures, including the Kadi of Je-
rusalem and the Mufti of Acre.
It urged that Shehur AI Ha-
ram, which according to Islamic
tradition, is devoted to inten-
sive prayer, should not be vio-
lated by continued bloodshed.
Terrorism mounted steadily in
Tel Aviv-Jaffa boundary leaving
in its wake nine Jews wounded,
three seriously, by a bomb explo-
sion, and the destruction of a
synagogue, due to incendiary fire.
Internal terrorism among Arabs
flared up again resulting in the
slaying of a Christian Arab near
the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem
and the murder of an Arab con-
stable in Jaffa. Following recent
attacks by snipers upon traffic on
the Jerusalem-Jaffa highway, sev-
eral houses were demolished in
the village of Kubab which is sus-
pected of having sheltered the at-
tackers. In all parts of the coun-
try, in fact, disorders continued,
climaxed by the razing of the po-
lice post at the Wailing Wall in
Jerusalem.

SWASTIKA EMBLEM
JERUSALEM. (WNS-Palcor
Agency)—According to a find
just made on the ancient site
of Apamea, an important
ruined Seleucid city near
Hama, Jews who lived in Syria
under the Seleucidae Dynasty
—at least 1,300 years ago—
used the swastika, present em-
blem of Nazi rule. The city
flourished during the early
centuries of the Christian era.
Belgian archaeologists investi-
gated a synagogue which was
found to have an altar stand-
ing on a richly-decorated mo-
saic floor, near the remains of
a Byzantine church inside the
walls of the old fortress of
Kalat Mudik. The hooked
crosses appeared in consider-
able numbers in one corner of
the marble squares forming the
floor design. The discovery is
one more instance of the ex-
tensive use of the swastika,
also known as the flyfot or
gammadion (from the Greek
letter Gamma), as One of the
few decorative religious em-
blems found in pre-historic re-
mains in European Asia and
in the Latin Americas.

"No one will deny the need of
adequate relief for the unemploy-
ed but increased taxation is not
necessary. Michigan tax revenues
and Federal aid have soared to
an all-time peak during the past
two years. Expenditures. have
risen faster than revenues. Now
the public purse is empty. Addi-
tional taxation is' the first solu-
tion proposed by hysterical poli-
ticians.
If $10,000,000 for relief are
necessary, they can be found by
meager economies in Michigan's
governmental expenditures. What
we need is comma- sense adminis-
tration of governmental expendi-
tures—state and local, not more
taxes.
"Business is today engendering
a new confidence and starting the
nation back towards recovery. Ev-
ery tax levied on business is a

sumer. Every new tax on Michi-

are entitled to a fair deal."

is being called a political of-

"men and women are being
thrown out of the land of their
nativity because they profess a
certain religion which political
authorities have decided to up-
root."
"Indeed, many who do not pro-
fess the forbidden religion, but
whose ancestors did, are being
treated with equal rigor. Other
religions likewise are threatened.
The church, in order to be al-
lowed to exist, is forced to take
its place at part of the political
