He revealed that the council will

"Whatever affects one minority,

clared. "We arc accordingly join-
ing Negroes In their court fight

Discriminatory advertising in a
Detroit newspaper and in resort

Dachau—the site of the In-
famous Camp Dachau, a name
that put the fear of death in the
people of wartime Germany. Stand-
ing before the altar of flowers
stood a Detroit girl, dressed in a
bridal gown, and a Detroit boy
in uniform.
Everyone was silent as the chap-
lain rabbi spoke: "It Is significant
that we are gathered here to per-
form a marriage ceremony be-
tween two Jews, in a place where
not so long ago, just the mention
of the word 'Jew' meant death—."
This first American marriage
in Dachau was that of two De-
troit civilian employees of the
war crimes trials at Dachau,
Irving J. Ilayett and Sally Rose.
For their wedding, the main
ballroom of the War Crimes of-
ficers club was decorated with a
large American flag made of roses
and carnations and there was a
bower of flowers before the altar.

THERE WAS the traditional ta-
ble with a white, shining cloth, the

Truman Statement

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—A Jewish
Agency spokesman this week de-
clared that the Agency welcomed
President Truman's statement on
Palestine, but doubted that
the

British government would agree to
his proposals.
Referring to the widespread at-
tacks on the Truman statement in
the British pant, which termed it
a political gesture, the Agency
representative said that it was in
accordance with American policy
and not a campaign stunt.
The "unanimous outcry" in the
British press, however, indicates
that the British government Is
not ready and unwtiljng to come

ing on Truman's statement, that
"we are happy and grateful to see
that there is at least one man in
power in this world to whom a
pledge renplins a pledge." It ad-
ded, howevtr, that the Jewish re-
sistance movement awaited deeds,
not words. Referring to Prime
Minister Attlee's reply, the radio
