JERUSALEM (WNS). — Dr
James G. Heller, president of
the United Palestine Appeal of
the United States, declared here
at a press conference that confi-
dential reports reaching Zionist
leaders indicate that a solution
of the problem favorable to the
Jews is in the offing. He said
there was no ground for the cur-
rent pessimism prevailing among
Palestine Jews regarding the fu-
ture of that country.
Declaring that the complicated
world situation may compel post-
ponement of a decision on Pales-
tine, Dr. Heller said that the
United States will do everything
possible in accord with the Brit-
ish Government, but that "we
must have a little patience, be-
cause not a single one of the
factors concerned has changed
its mind concerning Palestine."

TEL AVIV. (Palcor)—Approx-
imately 1,400,000 Jews have so
far been found in liberated Eu-
rope, and of these, one million
persons are in Soviet-controlled
territory, Eliahu Dobkin, in
charge of the Jewish Agency's
Department of Immigration, told
a rally of Mapai, Jewish Pales-
tine's Labor Party.
He enumerated the survivors
as follows: 310,000 in Romania,
250,000 in Hungary, 90,000 in
Poland, 45,000 in Bulgaria; 75,-
000 in Czechoslovakia and 5,000
in Yugoslavia. Only a few Jews
under Soviet rule have received
permission to proceed to Pales-
tine. One thousand certificates
are immobilized in Romania, and
300 are immobilized in Bulgaria
because those holding them are
unable to leave.
"These survivors cannot re-
main in those countries," Mr.
Dobkin said, "and it is essential
to facilitate their emigration. In
camps in Western Germany, like
Bergenbelsen, Dachau, Buchen-
wald and elsewhere, there are
70,000 Jews who have no place
to return to, and their hope and
salvation is settlement in Jew-
ish Palestine."
PUBLICATION IN PANAMA
PANAMA CITY (WNS).—The

has been opened here as a result
of joint efforts by all Jewish

intellectuals. A religious school

the opening of the center, the
"Beneficencia Israelita de Pan-
ama" issued a journal in Yiddish
and Spanish, which was the first
Yiddish publication to appear
here.
Each of the new officials repre-
sents a constituent organization
in the Council, which now serves
a
pproximately 8,500 members in
the Detroit area, in addition to
its youth organization.

SAN FRANCISCO (WNS).-
Paragraph five of the trusteeship
proposal, including the so-called
"Palestine clause," has been
adopted by the trusteeship com-
mittee in the form proposed by
Commander Harold E. Stassen of
the U. S. delegation.
It now provides that except
as might be agreed upon in in-
dividual trusteeship arrange-
ments, and until such arrange-
ments had been concluded, noth-
ing in the chapter should be
construed to alter in any manner
"the rights whatsoever of any
state or any peoples or the terms
of existing international instru-
ments to which member states
may respectively be parties." It
also contains a provision that
"nothing in this clause is to be
interpreted as giving grounds for
delay or postponement" in plac-
ing mandated territories under
trusteeship."
The modified plan represents a
compromise with the Soviet dele-
gation. Originally the Soviet del-
egation insisted on the deletion
of the "Palestine clause" on the
ground that its adoption might
"freeze" the existing status of
mandated territories.

Chachmey Lublin
Yeshivah Seeks
To Raise $25,000
Lublin Regime
Reported Against
Return of Jews
LONDON (WNS).—The Polish
government in Lublin is opposed
to the return to Poland of the
approximately 250,000 Polish
Jews who fled to Russia after
the German invasion, it was de-
clared by John Parker, labor MP.
Parker, a member of an official
delegation which recently visited
Russia, made the statement in
an interview appearing in last
week's issue of the London Jew-
ish Chronicle. He said the posi-
tion of the Lublin government
was predicated on the belief that
the Polish Jews who fled to Rus-
sia are opposed to the new Po-
lish regime.
At the same time Mr. Parker
expressed the opinion that the
Soviet government may attempt
to settle some of these Jewish
refugees in Palestine. He based
this statement on the fact that
the Russian delegates at the re-
cent Trade-Union Congress in
London had backed the resolution
calling for the establishment of
a Jewish national home.
Mr. Parker further stated that
the Polish Jews in Russia would
prefer going to the United States
where many of them have rela-
tives and friends, rather than re-
main in the USSR or return to
Poland.
Yeshivath Chachmey Lublin is
engaged in a campaign to raise
$25,000 to pay for the remodel-
ing of the Yeshivah. More than
$10,000 was raised at a meeting
in the Bnai Zion Synagogue,
held under the chairmanship of
J. Soberman.
A synagogue is being built in
the Yeshivah with funds donated
by Mrs. Beryl Frenkel and Jos-
eph Frenkel, in memory of the
late Mr. Beryl Frenkel, husband
and father of the donors.
The Yeshivah, under the direc-
tion of Rabbi M. Rothenberg, is
being enlarged and the enroll-
ment has increased. The Paro-
chial and Preparatory Schools
under the direction of Rabbi G.
Frenkel are graduating a number
of students who will enter the
Yeshivah. Rabbi M. Greenes, a
graduate of Yeshivath Chayim
Berlin of New York, has been
Rabbis Appeal
For Orphans
In Monasteries
TEL AVIV (WNS).—An ap-
peal to the nations of the world
"to return to the Jewish people
the children and orphans who are
now in monasteries and in other
Christian institutions throughout
Europe," was issued last week
at a rabbinical conference at-
tended by more than 500 rabbis
and heads of rabbinical institu-
tions of learning.
The conference adopted a reso-
lution recommending the estab-
lishment of Jewish religious
schools in every town and vil-
lage in Palestine. It appealed to
the Palestine government not to
discriminate between religious
and non-religious educational in-
stitutions.

The Hebrew Schools will close

middle of July to the middle of
August.
British Sacrifice Jews to Appease
Arabs, Labor Party Leader Says
LONDON (WNS). — Harold
Laski, noted British Labor Party
leader, declared in an article last
week that the exclusion of Jewish
representation from the San
Francisco Conference was directly
attributable to British policy of
appeasing the Arabs.
Mr. Laski accused the British
government of facilitating "the
presence of the Arab states, in-
cluding Arab Palestine, which is
not a state, but excluded Jewish
representation at San Francisco."
At the same time the noted econ-
omist predicted that the present
British policy may lead "to a
transfer of the scene of Jewish
massacre from Central Europe
to the Middle East."
Declaring that "no one knows
better than Churchill and Eden
that almost all the help, both in
men and materials, they received
from Palestine during the Euro-
pean war was the outcome of
Jewish effort," Mr. Laski said
that British policy with regard
to Palestine indicated that "the
Jews are once more to be sacri-
ficed and offered upon the altar
by buying the good will of the
Arab people despite all solemn
pledges."
The labor leader charged that
the British Government had
agreed to discuss the question of
colonies at San Francisco, "with
