Russia Silent
On Trusteeship

Temple Israel Women
Re-Elect Mrs. Danto

SAN FRANCISCO (WNS).-
The Soviet Government has not
yet made up its mind with re-
gard to the question of interna-
tional trusteeships for mandated
territories, including Palestine, it
was indicated by Foreign Com-
missar Molotov.
Emphasizing that while the So-
viet delegation has reached a
complete understanding with
Britain and the United States
regarding all amendments to the
Dumbarton Oaks proposals which
will be submitted to the plenary
session of the United Nations
Conference, no commitments have
as yet been made by it regard-
ing the proposed trusteeship
system over colonies and man-
dated areas.
Mr. Molotov used the British
term "territorial trusteeship,"
rather than the American term
"international trusteeship," when
he spoke of he Soviet attitude
toward the proposed trusteeship
plan. He said the Soviet delega-
tion is still studying the British
and American drafts which dif-
fer very much, both with regard
to such mandated territories as
Palestine as well as territories
not under League of Nations
mandate.
All that Molotov disclosed was
that "the USSR will actively par-
ticipate in consideration of the
trusteeship problem in its en-
tirety," which was interpreted
by some to mean that when the
Soviet attitude will be formu-
lated it will also cover territories
under Mandate "A' of the League
of Nations, of which Palestine is
the only remaining one.
Jewish leaders here are im-
pressed by the fact that Molotov
emphasized that the Soviet dele-
gation was strongly behind the
proposal for establishment by the
General Assembly of the inter-
national security' organization of
a Commission for Human Rights
and Fundamental Freedoms, but
Zionist leaders are watching with
suspicion the proposals for re-
gional arrangements which are
now under discussion by the Big
Four, since it is known that the
Arab delegations are working
hard to have the Pan-Arab
League recognized by the con-
ference as a regional unit for the
entire Middle East within the
new world system.
Should the Arab request be
granted, Palestine would fall
within their "regional security"
supervision. Jewish Agency rep-
resentatives are, therefore, try-
ing to bring to the attention of
the Big Four the fac that Jews
are not indifferent to whether
the Pan-Arab League will be
recognized by the Conference as
the regional unit for the Middle
East.
Role of AJC
The role played by the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee consult-
ants here in leading the fight for
the establishment of a Commis-
sion on Human Rights by the
conference was revealed by Ja-
cob Blaustein and Judge Joseph
M. Proskauer.
Pointing out the importance
of the fact that the four spon-
soring powers of the conference
jointly introduced an amendment
to the Dumbarton Oaks propo-
sals requesting the General As-
sembly "to assist in the realiza-
tion of human rights and basic
freedoms for all without distinc-
tion as to race, language, reli-
gion or sex" and to implement
this by creating a Commission
on Human Rights, Mr. Blaustein
said : "The importance of these
additions for the future welfare
of the Jews of the world can-
not be overemphasized. They
take a long step forward toward
the realization of our objective."

Few Jewish Survivors
In Northern Italy

MILAN (WNS)—Only a frac-
tion of the prewar Jewish pop-
elation in northern Italy is still
alive, it was reported by Reuben
Resnik, Joint Distribution Com-
mittee representative in Italy,
who raced through the liberated
cities with an artillery regiment
of the 34th Division.
Resnik said that lie found
that only 400 of Bologna's 1,200
Jews remained; in Modena there
are 150 of 300; in Ferrera, 60
survivors of 600; 70 of Parma's
600; and only 500 in Milan,
which had a Jewish population
of 10,000. However, Resnik said,
2,000 Milanese Jews fled to Swit-
zerland and others may be hiding
in the hills, and will eventually
return.

Soviet Jewry Jubilant
At Fall of Berlin

MOSCOW (WNS) — Crowds
of happy Jews gathered in Mos-
cow's synagogues after the an-
nouncement by Marshal Stalin
that Berlin had fallen and the
report that Hitler was dead.
Among those cited by Stalin
were Lt. Gen. Kazankin, Maj.
Gen. Bukstynowich, Maj. Gen.
Hoiseyevsky, Maj. Gen. Folden-
stein, Maj. Gen. Shapiro, Lt. Gen.
Cherniakovsky, and many other
Jewish officers.
The Moscow radio reported
that the Red Army had captured
an inspector of S.S. troops who
had personally killed more than
1,000 Poles and Jews in the
ghettos and concentration camps
of Poland.

U. S. Delegates
Back Jewish
Rights in Yishuv

SAN FRANICISCO.—Members
of the United States delegation
to the United Nations Confer-
ence on International Organiza-
tion declared that the U. S. dele-
gates will insist that the rights
of the Jews in Palestine under
the present mandate be safe-
guarded if, and when, Palestine
is placed under a "trusteeship"
system.
At the same time, they indi-
cated that League of Nations
mandates, such as Palestine, will
be the first dealt with after the
war is over, and that the present
holders of mandates will be con-
sulted before any change in the
mandated area's status is effected.
The American delegation, it
was learned authoritatively, is
pressing for the rights of the in-
habitants in any territory placed
under trusteeship to submit peti-
tions to the truseeship council
and is also asking that provision
be made for investigation by the
new world organization of any
complaints by such inhabitants.
It was stressed, however, that
only moral force could be used
to compel the trustee to carry
out its obligations under the
trusteeship.
Members of the Mandates
Commission of the League of
Nations are being consulted,
meanwhile, by the American del-
egates with regard to provisions
of the League's mandate system
which might profitably be applied
to the new system that will be
set up.
Labor Group Plea
The World Security Confer-
ence was urged to set up a spe-
cial agency to safeguard "the
rights of national groups in all
countries" and to put into effect
unlimited immigration to Pales-
tine, free land purchase there,
abrogation of the British White
Paper, rapid reconstruction of
Jewish life throughout Europe
and the branding of anti-racial
and anti-religious propaganda as
a criminal offense.
These proposals were part of
a 13-point- program submitted by
the Jewish Labor Committee,
which says it represents 500,000
members of the American Feder-
ation of Labor and the Congress
of Industrial Organizations. The
proposals were presented by
Adolph Held, chairman of the
committee. David Dubinsky, pres-
ident of the International Ladies
Garment Workers Union is treas-
urer.
The committee supported the
request of the interim commit-
tee of the American Jewish Con-
ference that the security parley
make it clear that "no action of
the conference would tend to
prejudice the existing rights of
Jews in respect to Palestine to
the prejudice of existing rights
of Jews to immigrate to Pal-
estine."

SCHAVER

(Continued from Page 1 )

At the assembly Sunday, Mr.
Schaver was presented by Wil-
liam Hordes, president of the
Detroit J. N. F. Council, with a
Keren Kayemeth certificate at-
testing to the fact that arrange-
ments were completed with the
Jewish National Fund for the
planting of the Schaver Forest.
Of the $15,000 required for
the planting of the trees, the
Detroit community raised $10,-
000. This sum was supplemented
by a contribution of $5,000 made
by residents of St. Louis, where
Nat Scheyer, a brother of Mor-
ris L. Schaver, resides. Morris
Lazaroff, Mr. Peck, Mr. Allen,
David Shever, Nat Shever and
other members of the family in
St. Louis were among the con-
tributors to the Schaver Forest.
Mr. Schaver, who is the hus-
band of Emma Schaver, eminent
soprano, has been the president
of the Arlosoroff branch of the
Jewish National Workers' Alli-
ance in Detroit for 15 years, and
has taken a leading part in la-
bor Zionist fund raising drives
and in the furtherance of other
Jewish communal causes. He
headed the list of delegates elect-
ed by the Detroit community to
the American Jewish Conference.

Jewish Congress
To Locate Survivors

Dorothy Thompson
"Overwhelmed" by
Palestine Achievement s

NEW YORK. — The cessation
of hostilities in Europe has open-
ed the way for the location of
Jewish survivors in liberated Eu-
rope, it was announced by Kurt
Grossman of the rescue depart-
ment of the World Jewish Con-
gress.
Lists of the liberated people
will be made available at the
Supreme Headquarters of the
AEF in Paris. Every liberated
person wil receive two post cards
which he will be allowed to send
to a relative, friend, or any other
address chosen by him. These
post cards will be sent through
the army postal service.
The World Jewish Congress, in
cooperation with the Women's
Division of the American Jewish
Congress, will send 30,000 pounds
of clothing to Bergen Belsen
camp to clothe surviving Jews.
As yet, there has been no deci-
sion on the status of stateless
and German Jews. However, a
tracing bureau to find missing
persons was organized in Brus-
sels, Bucharest, Geneva, London,
Paris and Stockholm by Dr. A.
Leon Kubowitzki who returned
recently to America after ful-
filling a mission for the World
Jewish Congress. Emissaries from
the Geneva office of the World
Jewish Congress will be sent to
Germany to make an "on the
spot" search.

248 Refugees
Reach Palestine

HAIFA (Palcor).---A group of
248 new settlers from Morocco,
Turkey and central Europ e ar-
rived here aboard a British ship.
The group includes German,
Austrian and Czechoslovakian
Jewish refugees who have been
trying to get to Palestin e for
the past six years. The group
from Tangier, Spanish Morocco,
comprised 178 adults, 52 youths
and 18 infants.
Conditions were hard until the
Joint Distribution Committee pro-
vided hope early in 1944, they
said. The refugees awaited trans-
portation to Palestine for more
than a year.

Celebrate Founding

NEW YORK — The tenth an-
niversary of the founding of the
Reconstructionist Movement was

ment lists its aims as the up-
building of Palestine as the

therance of universal freedom,
justice and peace, and the reor-
ganization of the Jewish com-
munity on a democratic basis to
include all Jews who identify
themselves with the Jewish peo-
ple.

Does Life Insurance
Give Good Value?

"Good value" to most of us means
"getting our money's worth." These
days particularly, each dollar spent
must contribute substantially to the
family's welfare.

But the family budget has its limi-
tations—some things we cannot af-
ford to buy; other things we can-
not afford to do without.

CLI

In planning for the future, life
insurance is as necessary as food,
clothing and shelter. The Great.
West Life can provide you with a policy designed to
suit your particular needs. Full details will be given %kith•
out obligation.
