Call for Palestine Volunteers Issued;
Hechalutz Training Program Expanded

NEW YORK. — Spurred on
by the successful completion of
its first aviation training course,
in which seven young Jews won
their government private pilot
licenses, the Hechalutz Organiza-
tion has issued a call for new
volunteers for the Palestine Pion-
eer Units (Plugot Hechalutz).
The second aviation unit will be-
gin training on August 1, as the
previous group will embark on
an advanced training schedule,
The call for registration has
been sent to all Zionist youth or-
ganizations throughout the United
States, and a prompt reply is ex-
pected from all quarters of the

an address to the university's stu-
dent body, which recently was
exhorted by the Jewish Agency's
political chief, Moshe Shertok, to
enlist to the fullest extent for
the defense of the Jewish Na-
tional Home, "restored our civic
and political honor and made us
citizens of this fateful wa•."
In similar vein Davar, Hebrew
daily of Tel Aviv, denounced
Magnes' statement as "tanta-
mount to the denial of the char-
acte• of Palestinian Jewry as a
national entity."

The Magnes Attitude

The English-language Palestine
Post found the situation to he
diametrically opposed to Dr.
Magnes' analysis of it.
"Contrariwise," the editorial
writer maintained, "the absence
of conscription imposes noble re-
sponsibility on the Jewish people
themselves. If the Jewish com-
munity possesses an organization
that will insure disciplined re-
sponse to its recruiting call, then
its manifest duty is to use such
authority and not to shelter any
possible slackers."
The statement of Dr. Magnes,
who has long been the stormy
petrel of E•etz Israel's political
life, is in keeping with his oft-
expressed opinion that the Jews
should not constitute a separate
nation of Palestine but should be
content with remaining a substan-
tial minority within an Arab-domi-
nated Palestine. The vast majority
of the Yishuv, including practic-
ally all its leaders, does not share
this view, however, as has re-
peatedly been made extremely
clear. The Jewish Agency has un-
derlined the national ambitions of
the Yishuv by insisting since the
early days of the war that Pal-
estine's Jews be permitted to
volunteer for a national Jewish
army that shall fight side by side
with the British Forces as their
ally, similarly to the position held
by the Free French and other
exiled-government forces. To this
end the British High Command
has frequently been offered a will-
ing force of 40,000 men in addi-
tion to the over ten thousand who
are already serving on various
fronts as an integral part of the
British forces themselves. Thus
far the offer has not been ac-
cepted by the British.

Wavell Commends Palestinian
Jews; Regrets Their Losses

Commendation of the forces Pal-
estine has contributed to the Mid-
dle Eastern fronts was voiced by
General Sir Archibald Percival
\Vavell shortly before he was
transferred to be the new General
Officer commanding the Indian
forces, in which position he re-
placed General Sir Claude Auch-
inleck, who took over the Middle
East command from him.
"The Palestinians (the major-
ity of whom were Jews) worked
well in Greece, and stood up in
satisfactory manner in the face
of the large-scale air attacks to
which they were subjected," Wav-
ell stated, according to a mes-
sage transmitted by General Sir
henry Maitland Wilson, at the
time directly under Wavell, to
Isaac ben Zvi, chairman of the
Vaad Leumi.
"Their severe losses," Wavell
continued, "are a matter of great
regret."

Special reductions for the fami-
lies of Palestinian vlounteers are
being given at all member shops
of the Jerusalem Merchants' As-
sociation. This is in consonance
with efforts being made all along
the line to compensate such fami-
lies for the temporary loss of their
breadwinners.

country. The aviation course is
patterned after the Government
Civilian Aviation Training Pro-
gram, and is expected to take
three or four months for comple-
tion. The instruction will be given
at the Bennett Airport, near
Hightstown, N. J. The students,
while taking the course, will live
in a cooperative fashion at the
Hechalutz Farm in Cream Ridge,
N. J.
All young Jews between the
ages of IS and 25 who are in-
terested in the flying program
are urged to apply in person or
by letter to the offices of Plugot
Ilechalutz, 1140 Broadway, New
York City.

pany of the Auxiliary Military
Pioneer Corps have been sent to
Abyssinia as military instructors.
Chosen for their exceptional
ability, they will help to drill
units of the newly organized Aby-
ssinian National Army. Two of
the men are veterans of Allied
operations in France, Libya, Eri-
trea and Greece.

Special Programs on P. B. S.
for Soldiers

The special programs arranged
by the Vaad Leumi and given per-
iodically by the Palestine Broad-
casting Service for Jewish sold-
iers serving in various parts of
the Middle East are broadcast on
Jerusalem's wave length of 449.1
meters, or 65 kilocycles. Heard
throughout the vast area in which
British troops, including Jewish
units, are now located, this "He-
brew Hour" is a boon to the men
far from home.

Italian and German War Prison-
ers Bombed by Own Nationals

Several German and Italian
war prisoners, including a number
of German officers, were casual-
ties when hostile aircraft bombed
the war prisoner's camp "some-
where in Palestine."
The attack had all the appear-
ances of being a deliberate one
by the enemy on his own na-
tionals, for the Spanish Consu-
late, which now controls German
and Italian interests in Pales-
tine, had been notified of the
position of the camp, which has
been kept brilliantly floodlighted
for the purpose of giving the
enemy a chance to avoid hitting
his own men.

American Negro Tenor Sings
with Palestine Symphony
Orchestra

Palestinians were treated to an
unusual pleasure when Paul A.
Smith, American Negro tenor,
was guest soloist with the Pales-
tine Symphony Orchestra.
Mr. Smith also expressed great
pleasure in the fact of his having
been chosen to appear with the
Orchestra. "It was the biggest
thing in my life," he declared,
adding that when he returned to
the United States he would do
what he could to help the Friends
of the Orchestra there in their
fund-raising activities.
After hearing two concerts
under Georg Singer and Paul ben
Haim at Haifa, Mr. Smith as-
serted that "the ensemble is in
the same class as the New York
Philharmonic and Philadelphia
Symphony Orchestra."

net. She carried a Bible on which
were pinned white orchids.
She was attended by her sister,
Shirley, as maid of honor.
Her bridesmaids were the bride's
sister, Harriette, the bride's cou-
sin, Isabelle Gorosh, the groom's

NEW YORK (JPS)—Through-
out Poland secret groups have
been formed to fight anti-Semitism,
it is reported in "Poland Fights,"
a publication issued here by the
American Friends of Polish De-
mocracy.
"Polish democratic intellectuals"
are said to be behind the move-
ment, which is reported to have
met "with the full approval and
sympathy of the Polish popula-
tion. Several conferences have
been organized with representa-
tives of the Polish democratic and
labor movement with a view to co-
ordinating all the activities which
are directly or indirectly concern-
ed with the struggle against anti-
Semitism."

Chile for Inquiry Into Nazis

SANTIAGO, Chile (JPS)—The

widespread demand for an inves-
tigation of Nazi activities in Chile
is expected to result in the desig-
nation of a committee of the Chile
Congress to take necessary meas-
ures for "the maintenance of the
democratic regime."
But the paradoxes in South
American political life were again
illustrated in the action of the
Chilean government in banning
any films which might reflect un-
favorably on the ideologies of any
other country. The new regulation
is designed to prevent the show-
ing of anti-Nazi films, which
evoked vigorous protests from the
German Embassy.

new Reform temple in Detroit. It
has long been needed. Leaders of
Reform Judaism have often won-
dered how it could survive in
America if, in a great city like
Detroit, with its large Jewish
community, the movement was
represented by only one congrega-
tion. This new congregation, I
hope, will represent genuinely lib-
eral Judaism. We shall strive for
a revitalization of Reform Juda-
ism, for a pulpit which shall face
frankly the issues of our clay, for
an educational system which shall
give our children a positive atti-
tude toward their faith and their
people. This shall be a congrega-
tion of men, women and children
who shall love Judaism and find
joy in it. Liberal Judaism, as we
shall interpret it, shall not be a
sect living aloof and apart from
the Jewish people as a whole.
This congregation shall be a part
of the new trend in Reform Juda-
ism which is friendly to the re-
vival of many of the beautiful
traditions and symbols of our
Jewish heritage, which takes to
its heart the cultural aspirations
of the Jewish soul, and the will
to live of the Jewish people."
In conclusion Rabbi Fram pro-
nounced the classic prayer, the
.Thehecheyonu. The entire group
joined in the recitation of the

Temporary Name

It was announced that all mem-
bers joining the new congregation
before the High Holy Days would
be identified as the charter mem-
bers of the new Temple.
The congregation will tempor-
arily be known as the New Re-
form .Jewish Temple of Detroit. A
permanent name will be decided
upon at the next meeting of the
congregation, which will be an-
nounced shortly.
A committee on committees has
been appointed which will appoint
the various committees including
those on membership, on building
plans, on nominations and on the
organization of a sisterhood, a
youth league and a brotherhood.
It was the unanimous expression
of the assembly that the Temple
should be located in the north-
western section of the city, and
that plans for the building of a
new temple structure for worship
and education shall receive the
early attention of the building
committee.
The formal installation of Rabbi
Fram and the service of dedica-
tion for the new congregation
will be held early in the fall.
