TEL AVIV (Palcorl — An
appeal for peace in American

Moshe Shertok, chief of the po-
litical department of the Jewish
Agency for Palestine. Mr. Sher-
tok said:
"The Jewish Agency is in-
terested in a united Zionist
movement in America, We
aren't aware of any diverg-

present dispute has arisen only
over matters of competence."

'12,000 Athens Jews
Hit by Civil War
the defense counsel, who is a
Moslem, made a lengthy speech,
pointing out the political nature
of the assassination and citing
precedents w hich he claimed
should influence the court's
mercy. He said he felt sympathy
for the Jews and Arabs in Pal-
estine.
"As a man, I ask God that
a solution of the Palestine
problem may be achieved.
The accused did not kill Lord
Moyne because he was Lord
Moyne, but out of considera-
Cion for the general cause,
There are strong psycholog-
ical factors. Ther e is no doubt
that a political crime differs
greatly from ordinary crime
in estimating the punishment,
because a man who commits
a political crime does so for
general considerations and with
no thought of personal gain."
Abdel Fattah outlined the suf-
ferings of Jews through the ages
and especially through the period
of Nazism in Germany. He said
that although England was a
just country, the publication of
the White Paper on Palestine
"came as a great shock to Jews,
who said that England was clos-
ing the door in the faces of ref-
ugees.;"
He recalled the uproar over
the sinking of the boat Struma,
loaded with Jewish refugees, and
quoted Lord Wedgwood as say-
ing:
LONDON (\V- NS)—The situa-
tion of the Jews in Greece has
grown worse as a result of the
civil war. Hardest hit were the
12,000 Jews in Athens who were
manly concentrated in the area
held by the British and govern-
ment forces. Five hundred Athens
Jews have been sleeping without
any bedding or covering in an
unheated synagogue, the report
says.
About 3,000 Jews have reached
Salonika from mountain hideouts,
to which they fled to escape de-
portation by the Germans. There
are now about 18,00(1 Jews in
Greece, aside from those who may
still be in hiding. The Govern-
ment is reported to have asked
its legation in Mascow to check
with the Russian authorities as
to whether any Greek Jews have
been found in liberated sections
of Poland. where about 75,000
were deported.
Clothes Drive On
To supply tile need for cloth-
ing. in Palestine, the Mizrachi
Women's Organization of Amer-
ica has launched a nation-wide
clothing collection campaign,
with special emphasis upon chil-
dren's ;1,1(1 youth's wearing ap-
parel.
"A sabotage of Jewish free-
dom and British interests has
taken place because crypto-
fascism rules in the Near East
and lurks in Whitehall. They
don't like Jevis, won't use
Jews, won't accept the Bal-
four declaration and are de-
termined to break it. They
would sooner the Jews drown-
ed 'in the Struma than that
they landed in Palestine, That
is the measure of their hate.
CRIME A PROTEST
Abdel Fattah claimed that sen-
timents of anger were implanted
in the heart of Hakim, who felt
obliged to make an attempt on
the life of Britain's representa-
tives as a protest against the
British policy.
The lawyer recalled that when
David Frankfurter, a Jew, as-
sassinated a Nazi representative
in Switzerland he was acquitted,
and suggested that the present
case was similar since "the ac-
cused was driven by psycholog-
ical impulses to take revenge on
the representative of what lie
regarded as the responsible coun-
try."
When asked by the Court
whether no other means could
have been found to express their
complaint, he replied:
found no other
"They
means. They were tired of
complaining and of persecu-
tion."
DEMANDS DEATH TERM
The state prosecutor demand-
ed that the Egyptian • military
court hand down the death pen-
alty for the two young Pales-
tinian Jews being tried for the
political assassination of Lord
Moyne, British Resident Minis-
ter in the Middle East, on the
ground that "if the accused had
no pity for the murdered man
they are not entitled to pity,"
"I demand sentence of the
law as an example to others
who have not yet broken the
law and to erase the evil
microbe which penetrated our
country, threatened her secur-
ity. spolied her reputation and
soiled her clean sheet.
"The accused," he added,
have admitted a crime against
the Zion'ist cause which they
claimed to defend because they
ccmmitted a crime against a
man who was working in the
interest of humanity and Zion-
i sm. "
Correspondents covering the
trial of Eliahu Khakim and Eph-
raim Ben Zuri, Palestine ter-
rorists being tried for the as-
sassination of Lord Moyne, de-
•ided to ask the presiding judge
to release the statement made
