MONSKY GIVES VIEWS
WASHINGTON, D. C.— Support
of the short-term program of the
Anglo-American Inquiry Commit-
tee and objections to the Grady
Committtee recommendations were
presented by Henry Monsky,
chairman of the Interim Com-
mittee of the American Jewish
Conference, when he met with
several governmental officials, in-
cluding Secretary of War Robert
P. Patterson and Attorney-Gene-
ral Tom C. Clark last week. Mr.
Monsky postponed his trip to Pa-
ris because of the exigencies of
the situation arising out of the
Grady report.
The discussion with the Secre-
tary of War also covered the sta-
tus and the problem of displaced
persons In Germany.
The short-term program of the
Anglo-American Committee, which
had been endorsed by the Confer-
ence previously, included (1) the
recommendation for the transfer
of 100,000 Jews to Palestine im-
mediately, in accordance with
President Truman's request, (2)
the continuation of immigration
into Palestine, and (3) removal of
land purchase restrictions.
