Eye-Witness Bares Gestapo Methods of British Colonial Police in Palestine NEW YORK (Special) A sen- sational expose of the recruitment, training and methods of operation of the Palestine police was con- tained in an article appearing in the latest number of The New Palestine. The author, a trained, reputable observer, insisted on anonymity to protect his personal security against the very police methods he described. Athletic minded young men in England are high pressured into signing up for the police by such attractions as "The glamour of serving in a crack force in a country of sand dunes and orange groves, camels, horses, cars, mo- torcycles, speedboats, radio, sport, etc." • • • MOST DISLIKE JOB UPON ARRIVING in Palestine, however, and receiving training in the use of weapons against women and children, most of them seek to leave the country. Those who remain, the New Pal- estine correspondent reported, are largely petty criminals sentenced to terms of from one to seven years in England for felonies and given pardons for enlisting in the colonial police." Describing some of the verified third degree methods used by these policemen against Jewish political prisoners, the writer sta- ted that the customary tool of the trade is a typewriter roll which is painful and leaves no permanent marks. • • • FEW JEWS REMAIN VERY FEW JEWS remain in the service of the Palestine police, the article said. "A Jew devotes 15 or 20 years of excellent service MRS. LOUIS GLASIER * 9 to Represent City Hadassah at Convention Mrs. Louis Glasier, Detroit chap- ter president, will head the De- troit delegation of nine to the thirty-second annual convention of Hadassah, Nov. 10 in the Copley Plaza Hotel, Boston. Others who will represent De- troit include: Mrs. Jacob Sauls, Central East Group; Mrs. Julian Tobias, Central West; Mrs. Sam- uel Arkin, Russell Woods; Mrs. Henry Stark, University East; Mrs. Ben Silberstein, University West; Mrs. Samuel Rubiner, Huntington Woods; Mrs. Carl Schiller, vice president of the Central States region; and Miss Sophie Blanche Schwartz, chairman of the Busi- ness and Professional Group. The following will also attend the convention. Mesdames Claire Axelrod, Joseph Ehrlich, Sidney Krause, Morris Krause, Nathan Mandeberg and Nathan Spevakow. A vigorous stand on the Pal- estine question will be taken at the conclave. Pointing out that this question has become a world isspe and that the condition of displaced Jews in Europe has reached an emergency character, Mrs. Glasier, declared this week: "Hadassah is now the largest Zionist organization in the coun- try, and the 200,000 American wo- men for whom we speak are uni- ted in their determination to bring the true facts of our people's needs before the great American public during our convention. "We know that sympathetic un- derstanding for our cause is wide- spread, and we hope to make it even clearer than hitherto that the Zionist solution of the problem of Jewish homelessness is both logical and just, and therefore deserving maximum support."

ASPIRIN • • • 100 TABLETS 3S , "AN ILLUSTRATION of how vicious the British police are in Palestine is that not only do they give no medical attention to wounded Jews, but they also do not permit civilian doctors to treat them properly," the author said. "As a general rule in a battle there are always more wounded than dead; not so in a fight with the Palestine police." Page Nine Labor Shortage Agency Aide in Palestine Cited Dies in Egypt JERUSALEM (Palcor) —Jewish Palestine is emerging from the postwar transition period with a lack of labor rather than an un- employment problem, It is dis- closed by figures released by the Jewish Agency. The number of Jewish unem- ployed, on a daily average, from July, 1945 to February, 1946, was 3,112, which indicates virtually no unemployment since there are al- ways about that number of per- sons changing jobs, or transfering from one occupation to another, in a single day, who are only tem- porarily not working. Deducting the 20,000 Palestinian Jewish men and women in British armed forces as of July, 1945, the number of wage earners then was 225,000 as compared with 192,000 before the war, an increase of 33,- 000, despite the fact that certain trades and industries, especially the citrus industry, suffered during the war. The unemployment problem in the Arab countries, as contrasted with the dearth of labor in Pales- tine is discussed in an article by J. L. Teller in the newspaper PM. Teller points out the failure of the Arab governments to undertake public works projects for the ab- sorption of the masses of workers formerly employed on Allied mili- tary projects. In Iraq alone, there are 70,000 unemployed. The difference in wages between Jewish workers in Palestine and workers in •the Arab countries is beyond comparison since Jewish workers are paid according to western standards. In many Arab countries workers have been forced to take cuts of 50 per cent in wages. Plane Crash CAIRO, (JTA) — One Jewish Agency official was killed and sev- eral injured when a plane which was carrying them from Paris crashed in the hills of Northern Egypt last week, it was revealed here with the arrival of the wounded at the Cairo Jewish Hos- pital. The passenger killed was Joseph E. Perlman, of the Agency's en- gineering department, who was recently sent to Europe to exam- ine abandoned American Army camps which the Agency is plan- ning to buy to house future im- migrants. The plane, which carried a to- tal of 21 passengers, had been spe- cially chartered in Paris for the trip to Palestine. It crashed into a hill during a sand storm about 90 miles from Cairo. The crash threw all the passengers from the craft, which broke in two and burned. The survivors remained at the scene of the accident for 48 hours until they were discovered by a passing caravan, which gave first aid to the injured and arranged for them to be taken to the near- est hospital, 30 miles away. $100,000 LEGACY FOR JNF JERUSALEM—The Jewish Na- tional Fund has received a legacy of $100,000 from the estate of Louis Altshul, New York Zionist.
