of Detroit, head of Jewish relief
in Manila.
Mr. Netzorg told the following
story:
The Japanese lumped all Ger-
mans in Manila into the German-
Jew category, and the "Aryans"
fared no better than the Jews.
More than seventy-five German
Jews resided in Manila before
he war, most of them in the
South Manila district, which was
the worst affected by fighting in
the city. Among these was Alex-
ander M. Bachrach, 55, owner
of Manila Motors and Hixbar
Mining Companies, who was bay-
oneted at his home.
Some of those killed were
efugees who, after having wait-
ed in Shanghai for years for
visas, got as far as Manila and
then were stranded.

Palestine's Fate
Won't Be Decided
At San Francisco

JERUSALEM (AV NS). --There
is no reason to believe that the
United Nations Security Confer-
ence at San Francisco will decide
the fate of Palestine, it was de-
clared by Dr. Bernard Joseph,
legal adviser of the Jewish
Agency.
Dr. Joseph said that although
Dr. Chains Weizmann and David
Ben-Gurion are to arrive in the
United States before the opening
of the San Francisco Conference,
it was not yet clear whether
there will be any need for thee
to go to San Francisco.
He added, however, that the
Jewish Agency will send several
observers to San Francisco.
