enlisted in the Army during
America's first peacetime draft
prior to Pearl Harbor. When he

While Harold
was absorbing the rigors of mili-
tary life, Abbott was growing up.
At 17, he enlisted in the Navy.
The brothers corresponded reg-
ularly...they tried to get together,
somehow they never succeeded.
Sgt. Harold was stationed at
Okinawa in September, 1945. By
this time he was pretty well dis-
gusted with everything...even the
spiritual values had lost their lus-
ter. But Rosh Hashonah was at
hand, and he took leave for the
makeshift synagogue improvised
for the occasion. He stood outside
the building, debating whether or
not to enter. Then he heard a
voice...it seemed to draw him in,
like a magnet. As he *hiked down
the aisle, he kept staring at a tall
sailor in the choir, whose rich
baritone voice stood out amid the
throng. The singer looked fami-
liar, but the sergeant couldn't
place him. Suddenly the sailor
stopped singing and rushed down
the aisle toward him. In those few
seconds Harold's bewilderment
came to an end...a smile of rec-
ognition covered his face...it was
his brother...grown up.

NEW YORK — Dr. Abba Hillel
Silver, chairman of the Executive
Committee of the American Zion.
ist Emergency Council and presi-
dent of the Zionist Organization
of America, this week attacked
the "Federalization Plan," rec-
ommended to the American and
British Governments by the An-
glo-American Cabinet Committee
on Palestine, as a "conscienceless
act of treachery, dooming the
helpless Jewish survivors in Eu-
rope to further death and humil-
iation and driving the Jews of
Palestine to further desperation."
Speaking for the entire Zionist
movement in the United States—
the Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica, Hadassah, Mizrachi and Poale
Zion—Dr. Silver denounced as
"revolting" and "Immoral" the
Cabinet Committee's recommenda-
tion that the admission of 100,000
homeless European Jews to Pal-
estine, first urged almost a year
ago by President Truman and
unanimously recommended as an
immediate step by the Anglo-

be made "conditional" on the
adoption of the "federalization"
proposal.

"In plain English, this means
that 100,000 helpless refugees are
to be used as hostages by Britain
and the United States in order to
extort from the Jewish people ac-
ceptance of a political formula-
tion which clearly repudiates
every international commitment
made to the Jewish people with
respect to Palestine — a formula-
tion which the governments con-
cerned surely know the Jews can.
