Palestine Council in Active
Campaign Against Terrorists

Resolution Denounces Violence, Sabotage
and Blackmail by Extremist Groups

JERUSALEM (WNS)—A decision on "the necessity
of mobilizing public opinion immediately for an active
and systematic campaign to root out the terrorist plague
from among the Jews of Palestine" was reached this
week at a special meeting of the Jewish National Coun-
cil of Palestine at which, also, opposition was expressed

to the action of the Palestine
Government in deporting alleged
terrorist suspects to detention
camps outside the country.
The decision was reached af-

which the question was discussed

Services Sent From
Aachen Over Radio

NEW YORK — While German
artillery shells exploded 200 yards
away, a group of 50 Jewish GI's
near Aachen held the first Jewish
religious services to be broadcast
from Nazi soil to the United
States in a dramatic program pre-
sented Sunday by the American
Jewish Committee over the coast-
to-coast network of the National
Broadcasting Company. The
ceremonies, held in the open air
in a sector of the American
First Army's front, emphasized
the ideological struggle against
Hitlerism by the participation of
Catholic and Protestant chaplains
in what was probably the first
inter-faith demonstration held on
German soil since the Nazis came
to power.
Capping the historic occasion
was the ironic fact that the pro-
gram was short-waved from a
spot near the scene where the
Nazis, six years ago, destroyed
the only synagogue in Aachen
during the pogroms which swept
Germany following the assassir-
ation of Ernst von Rath in Paris
by a Polish Jewish youngster,
Herschel Grynszpan.
Conducting the services was
