Britain Trying To Hoodwink Council To
U. S., Brewster Warns Senate Stage Institute Jews

Object To Police
Brutality In Argentine

By Beatrice Heiman

. (Jewish Telegraphic Agency Correspondent)

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Senator Owen Brewster,
Republican, of Maine, attacked the British Government
in a speech in the Senate for intending, through the An-
glo-American commission on Palestine, "To saddle the
American Government with the moral responsibility for
British policy without any intention of allowing the
United States an effective voice in deciding Palestine's
future."

The senator declared that the
British Government has never
asked the use of American forc-
es in Palestine, contrary to re-
ports which he said the British
have spread. The British argu-
ment of Arab violence, Brewster
said, is merely being used as an
excuse for not undertaking a
policy which the British do not
want to execute.
Assignment by the United Na-
tions Organization of the Pales-
tine trusteeship to Britain is the
intention of the British, Brewster
alleged. Under such an arrange-
ment, he declared, Great Britain
would be freer to pursue its own
policy in Palestine than when act-
ing as the mandatory of the
League of Nations. He paid trib-
ute to the "extraordinary prog-
ress accomplished through the
consecrated labors of the Zion-
ist organization" in Palestine
throughout many years, declaring
he could testify to these accom-
plishments from his visit to Pal-
estine this year.
At the conclusion of his ad-
dress, Brewster inserted in the
, Congressional Record a Jewish
Telegraphic Agency story report-
ing the mistreatment of mem-
bers of the Jewish .committee at
the British-operated Belsen camp,
and another JTA dispatch con-
cerning the arming and instigat-
ing of Palestine Arabs by the
British.

BUENOS AIRES (JTA) — A delegation of Jewish
leaders called upon Gen. Felipe Urdapilleta, Minister of
the Interior, and protested to him against the recurrent
anti-Jewish disturbances here.
The delegation complained that twenty policemen
broke into the Y.M.H.A. premises on Nov. 24, and ar-
rested several people there. The Jewish leaders requested
that the Minister institute an investigation in order to
establish the responsibility of the police so that the guilty
may be punished.

Deny Jews Shot
British Soldiers

JERUSALEM (JTA) — The
Jewish National Council of Pal-
estine took direct issue with the
new Palestine High Commis-
sioner, Sir Alan Cunningham,
who had announced that British
troops were fired upon last
week in the Jewish settlement of
Givat Hayim before they opened
fire, killing six Jews and wound-
ing many others.
A statement issued by the
Council flatly denies the charge.
The statement emphasizes that
Jews who tried to break through
a cordon to Givat Hayim were
entirely unarmed. It reads:
"After careful and minute in-
vestigation of the events which
occurred in or near Givat Hayim
on Nov. 25, the National Con-
di is satisfied beyond any
possible doubts that the party
of some fifty Jews who tried
to break through to Givat Hayim
was entirely unarmed, inasmuch
as sticks were being carried by
them. None of the members,
of Givat Hayim or the settlers
who assembled there had fire-
arms or any other weapon, nor
were any arms discovered among
them."

Harry N. Grossman, 19035
Parkside Avenue, was elected
president of Knollwood Country
Club at a board of Directors
meeting Wednesday, NJvember
2 8. The new president, who
served as vice president of the
club for two years, succeeds
Mac Gordon.

Grossman, forty years old, is
the youngest president of any
golf club in the district. He was
born in Bay City, attended De-
troit public schools and was
graduated from the Detroit Col-
lege of Law. He has practiced
law in Detroit for nineteen years.
Grossman was chairman of
most of the Knollwood Country
Club bond drives that won na-
tional recognition for effective
results in the selling of over
$20,000,000 worth of War Bonds.
The following officers were
elected to serve with Grossman:
Irving W. Blumberg, vice presi-
dent; George D. Seyburn, secre-
tary; Nathan Fishman, treas-
urer. In addition to the offi-
cers, who serve ex officio, the

Gen. Urdapilleta told the dele-
gation that he recognizes that
anti-Jewish agitation exists in
Buenos Aires and promised ener-
getic measures. .'he Jews in Ar-
gentina, ho said, deserve the
same consideration as all other
inhabitants of the country.
Anticipating f u r t her anti-
Jewish violence, Jewish groups
issued a warning stating that
they are prepared to repel at-
tacks by anti-Semitic hooligans
on Jews or Jewish institutions.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Dr.
Albert Einstein was revealed to
have been the first scientist to
concern himself with the poten-
ialities of the atom bomb as it
might affect the United States,
at a hearing before a special
Senate Committee.
Dr. Alexander Sachs, a Rus-
sian-born American economist,
told the committee that in Oc-
tober, 1939, he went to President
Roosevelt with a letter from Dr.
Einstein describing developments
to date on atomic energy, and
pointing out that it was con-
ceivable that an atomic bomb
might be developed which could
be carried by ship to our shores
and blast an entire port area and
its environs. The letter also
pointed out that the Germans
had made considerable progress
along those lines.
As a result of the Einstein let-
ter and a memorandum by phys-
icist Dr. Leo Szilara, the late
President named a board to form
a working committee. Early in
1940, dissatisfied with the prog-
ress being made, Dr. Sachs, upon
the advice of Prof. Einstein, ap-
pealed to the White House for
more assistance, which was
given. This was the beginning of
the experiments which culminated
in the establishment of the
"Manhattan Engineering District"
and the manufacture of the
bombs which fell upon Hiroshima
and Nagasak

FRANKFURT-AM-MAIN (JTA)
—Seventeen Jewish students, the
first to be admitted to German
universities since Hitler's rise to
power, have matriculated in med-
ical and pre-medical courses in
Marburg and Heidelberg uni-
versities, it was announced here
by the Joint Distribution Com-
mittee.
Arrangements for matricula-
tion and scholarships were made
by the educational division of
the JDC in Germany in co-oper-
ation with UNRRA. All 17 are
stateless, having been trans-
ported to concentration camps in
Germany from their homes in Po-
land by the Nazis.
Five of them are men whose
mee•Ical studies were interrupted
by- the Nazi order barring the
admission of Jewish students to
German universities. Other state-
less Jews who are eligible for
admission to medical, engineer-
ing or liberal art schools, will
enter other institutions as they
are reopened.

"Kill Jews" Slogans

Slogans appeared on walls
throughout the city this week
reading: "Be Patriotic, Kill the
Jews."
The Hakoah, Jewish sport or-
ganization, addressed a note to
Gen. Urdapilleta asking for gov-
ernment measures to curb the
increased anti-Jewish propaganda.
The government is also being
flooded with protests from vari-
ous democratic non-Jewish or-
ganizations demanding that the
authorities cease tolerating anti-
Semitic activities.
The government-operated tele-
graph office refused to accept a
protest filed by one of the po-
litical groups here addressed to
the Minister of Interior. The
message drew the attention of
the Minister to the role of the
police in the anti-Jewish dis-
turbances.
The front page of a new
weekly publication, Unidad Demo-
cratica, is entirely devoted to de-
nouncing the anti-Jewish acts in
the country.

NEW YORK (JTA)—The ex-

In order not to duplicate

FRANKFURT-AM-MAIN (JTA)
—More than 48,000 candles and
400 menorahs, flown here from
Palestine in an American bomb-
er, augmented the local supply
of candles to help the Jews of
Germany celebrate Chanukah for
the first time in ten years. Ar-
rangements for the flight were
made with the U. S, Army by
the Joint Distribution Commit-
tee.
These Chanukah lights, which
he said, would shine from the
windows of thousands of Jewish
homes in Germany, were hailed
by Rabbi Alexander S. Rosen-
berg, director of religious activi-
ties for the JDC, as symbols of
"a new message of hope to our
brethren here."
