2 Tommies Killed
in New Outbreak

JERUSALEM (Special) — Two
British soldiers were killed and a
score of other persons wounded
in a new wave of attacks that
swept through Palestine Wednes-
day. Among those injured was an
Arab notable, Daoud Nashishibi.
Death came to the Tommies
when a military truck in which
they were traveling struck a mine
on an arterial road three miles
outside Jerusalem.
An earlier attempt, attributed to
the Stern band, to blow up a troop
train halfway between Tel Aviv
and Haifa failed. Two small bombs
,
exploded beneath the engine but
‘N„, caused no damage.
Reliable reports here said that
the British expected to transfer a
large number of Jewish refugees
from Cyprus to the Athlit camp in
northern Palestine. They would
replace 1,200 immigrants to be re-
leased from camp Oct. 14 under
the new quota.

Acclaimed in
USO Citation

Mrs. Samuel R. Glogower of De-
troit has been awarded the Certi-
ficate of Distinguished Service by
the USO committee on services to
women and girls in New York.
Mrs. Glogower has been chairman
of the committee since July, 1942.
The presentation was made at
a luncheon in New York by James
L. Zwingle, director of USO do-
mestic operations.
Mrs. Glogower's certificate rep-
resents four years of work in be-
half of service women, wives of

In line with the streamlining of
USO administrative activities for
reasons of economy, Mrs. Glogo-
wer, who represents the National
Jewish Welfare Board, said that
the numbers of women and girls
requiring the services of USO has
diminished so that a special com-
mittee is no longer needed.

"I was guided by an evil spirit,
he said. I promise never to do it
again."
Among his depredations was the
mutilation of two Scrolls of the
Torah in the Young Israel Syna-
gogue, Brooklyn.

Palestine Policy Is Forerunner
of 3rd War, Says Van Paassen

Britain's policy in Palestine is
leading the world into a third
world war, Pierre Van Paassen,
minister, author a n d Zionist,
warned in an address to an over-
flow audience Monday night in
St. Paul's Cathedral.

With over 400 of the 2,000 per-
sons present standing in the aisles,
the grey-haired Van Paassen at.
tacked the American press, charg-
ing that they were picking dema-
gogues as their favorites and con-
juring up "bogies" and false Issues
to attack.

Arabs in Vicinity Extend Greetings,
Help Bold Yishuv Occupation

The same evening tents, fences
and watch-towers were seen
against the moonswept sand dunes,
and the construction of hutments
had already begun.
The British had planned to use
the area as a vast air base. They
ook no action to oust the Jews.
The operation was an important
test, too, of Arab-Jewish relations.
T/ith Jamal Husseini laboring to
arcuse Arabs against Jews, at
least minor clashes were antici-
pated. Instead, the Arabs of the
vicinity welcomed their Jewish
neighbors most heartily and pro-
vided them with water.
The Jewish pioneers were led
by Jacob Shertok, son of the
Agency leader held by the British.
The Jewish action stunned the
British and aroused great enthusi-
asm throughout Palestine.

susceptible to American public
opinion."
LET LEADERS KNOW
In vehement tones, Van Paassen
cried, "We must let the men
around the council tables know
that we are serious. We cannot
afford to see the Jewish state de-
feated in Palestine."
He predicted dire consequences
for American Jewry if the Zionist
movement fails. It would be an
unfortunate example to United
States politicians who were look-
ing for scapegoats, he pointed out.
"There is an idea gaining
ground that Zionism is a philan-
thropy—to help certain indivi-
duals. Zionism is more than
that. It is a movement that
seeks to light the flame of Ju-
daism.
"It seeks to set up a little
commonwealth as an example of
freedom. 'From Zion shall go
forth enlightenment.'
"Let the Jews in Palestine go
free and a flood of freedom will
move over the world!..."
This non-sectarian rally on Pal-
estine was sponsored by a com-
mittee composed of leading
church, labor and community
groups of all faiths. The Rev. Ells-
worth M. Smith was chairman.
He is co.pastor of the interdenom-
inational Church of All Peoples.

"Read the Jewish papers," he
advised his audience. "They will
tell you what is really happening.
APE HITLER'S VOICE
"Can't you recognize Hitters'
voice when you read the daily
press?" Van Paassen asked. "Can't
you hear Hitler's voice whisper-
ing and sometimes even shouting
from the housetops?
"The world 14 deteriorating at
a fantastically fast rate," he
added, "and Palestine will be
the first victim of World War
III if the osituation there is al-
lowed to continue."
The solution? Van Paassen
quoted Winston Churchill: "If
there wero a real unanimity—a
real intensity of feeling—among
both Jews and Christians in the
United States, the Palestine
Irving Winstock, recently dis-
question would have been set- charged from military service, an-
tled long ago.... Britain would nounces his return to law prac-
change her -policy. She is very tice at 2462 National Bank Bldg.

transcend partisan politics and
actually have the whole-hearted
support not only of the leadership
of both political parties, but also
of the vast majority of the Ameri-
can 'people."
Gov. Dewey called for the adop-
tion of a bi-partisan policy on the
Palestine question, emphasizing
that it "has no place in political
campaigns."
ASKS HUGE INFLUX
"No one can say that a final
solution in Palestine is easy,"
Dewey said, "but the right of
large and immediate Jewish im-
migration is fundamental to that
solution and it must be an Im-
migration of not 100,000 but of
several hundreds of thousands."
Asserting that the displaced per-
sons of Europe are a challenge to
the sincerity of U. S. leadership,
Dewey 'added:
"For a year and a half this
problem has been crying out for
action, not talk. It is the prob-
lem of not one religion or of
one group; it is a problem of
humanity itself. If this is the
way the bravo new world will
solve its international problems,
we have made a bad start in-
deed."
LONG POSTPONED
He said that the promise of ad-
mission of 100,000 Jews to Pales-
tine should have been fulfilled
long ago and that it represents
a "joint obligation of our govern.
ment and the British government
under their long-standing commit-
ments."
Stating that he wished to "speak
frankly to our British friends," the
Governor said: "It is no service
to our own cause or to the cause
of friendship to muffle the truth
or to make widely and strategic-
ally spaced declarations which are
not followed by able, competent
or productive action."

British Terror

NEW YORK — The American
Jewish Labor Council recently led
two delegations of AFL and CIO
officials to the State Department

riam that/President Truman's di.

tion quota of 39,000 had not been
fully carried out.

sentatives of the International Fur
and Leather Workers Union, CIO;
District Council 9, Painters, AFL,
and the UE, CIO.
