ist Congress which opened here Monday when Dr. Abba
Hillel Silver, head of the Zionist Organization of Amer-
ica took the rostrum to brand the partition proposal h
"grave error in judgment" and to demand militant ac-
tion in breaking down Britain's impressive immigration
policy for Palestine.

first Jew to be premier of
France, was elected provi-
sional president of the re-
public Thursday by the Na-
tional Assembly. The wax
was cleared for him when
the Popular Republican
Movement, party of Georges
I3idault, decided not to pre-
sent an opposition candi-
date.

conclusion of his fiery address.
