JERUSALEM (Special)—As Jerusalem was rocked
by its most violent street battle in five years and 52 per-
sons were detained in its aftermath, British officials both
here and London disavowed a purported compromise plan
to dissolve the Palestine issue at least for the next 15
years.
The socialist newspaper Mishmar published this
week a seven-point program reportedly suggested by the

Cyprus, Jewish communal and Ha-
ganah leaders opened a new at-

tack Wednesday on the extremist
Irgun Zval Leumi and the Stern

gang.
A broadcast on Haganah's secret

radio served an "ultimatum" on
the two groups and warned Pal-
estine of the danger of civil war
"brought about by these desperate
groups who are not only murder-
ing Britons but also Jews." These
factions, It charged, are like a
cancer in the Jewish community
and must be eradicated.

BULLETS, SAYS IRGUN
The Irgun answered High Com-
missioner Cunningham's plea to
the Jewish community to act
against extremism by declaring
over its underground radio that
it will never surrender "Our an-
swer is short," the broadcast said.
"It means bullets".
A British soldier was killed and
two injured when land mines blew
up in northern Palestine. The ex-
plosion wrecked two jeeps in
which the Tommies were riding.
These incidents brought the total
British army casualties this week
to six killed and four wounded.
The Irgun and the Stern gang
are believed to be cooperating now.
This moved the high commissioner
to call Isaac Ben Zvi, temporary
head of the Agency here, for a
second time to demand the end
of the violence.

BASLE, Switzerland (Special)—
This normally quiet resort city is

it would be regrettable if the Con-
gress were to "fritter away" its
time discussing the Jewish Agen-

Congress confirm its resolution of
1937, empowering its executive to
negotiate with the British to as-

establishnient of a Jewish state
and to bring any proposed scheme
before a subsequent Congress.
REASON FOR DELAY

The London Economist, com-
menting on new reports that the
reopening of the London confer-
ence on Palestine has been defi-
nitely postponed until January, as-
serts that the postponement is due
to Anglo-American hopes that "by
a miracle a spark of willingness
to compromise may be kindled" at
tho Zionist Congress.

It charges that the postpone-
ment amounts to a "death war-
rant" for a number of British civil
and military personnel because the
initiative in the struggle for a

Jewish State has passed into the
hands of "gunmen" while the gov-
ernment has lost its gamble on
the ability of the Small Zionist
Actions Committee to live up to
its anti-terrorist resolution.
In a written statement in the

House of Commons, War Secre-
tary Frederick Bellinger stated
that 31 British officers and men
were killed in Palestine from July
through October of this year, while
20 were wounded.

H. Hilldring, assistant secretary of
state, who declared that neither
the United States Army nor the
proposed International Re f u g e e
Organization could be expected to
provide adequate aid to meet the
needs of the displaced Jews in
Europe.
Gen. Hilldring warned against
building "false Illusions that ef-
fective assistance can be given the
DP's by the military authorities
and by international organizations
wit/glut considerable outside help."
The biggest "disappointment last
year," he asserted, was the lack
of progress in finding permanent
homes for the displaced Jews. He
said it was not only the respon-
sibility of the United States to

care and maintain the displaced
persons" on as high a standard
as possible "but to find permanent
homes for them.
Hilldring said the resettlement of
Jews and others was an interna-
tional responsibility and "as a gov-
ernment we will continue to insist
upon this position regardless of
the failure of others to realize
their responsibilities." This evident
reference to Great Britain was
greeted with applause.
'NOT TO CYPRUS'
Had the Anglo-American Com-
mittee report on Palestine been

adopted and had President Tru-
man's request for the admission of
100,000 homeless Jews to Palestine
been heeded, he said, "our ships
would now be shuttling thousands
of Jews to Palestine—to Palestine,
not to Cyprus."
