Abducters Succeed in Delaying
Execution of Jewish Extremist

JERUSALEM (WNS)—The abduction by the Irgun
of a British judge and banker are expected to lead to
severer repressive measures by the British military au-
thorities in Palestine and, perhaps, to martial law, it is
feared here. (See page one for last minute news on ab-
di, ctions).

Over $20,000 in cash and a huge
quantity of diamonds and other
valuables were stolen from the
Mizrachi bank by a band of eight
armed men, called members of
the Irgun by police.
Meanwhile, it was disclosed by
Sir Henry L. Gurney, chief sec-
retary of the Palestine govern-
ment, that extremist raids had
cost the government so far over
$2,400,000.
Word was received here that
some 2,000 Cyprus internees had

receiving assurance that they
would have freedom of movement

Underground Brings
20,000 to Palestine

PARIS (WNS)—The Jewish Re-
sistance movement has engineeted
the entry of more than 20,000
visaless Jews into Palestine since
the end of the war, one of its
spokesmen declared this week at
a press conference.
He• said the organizers were af-
filiated with the Haganah in Pal-
estine and that the British intel-
ligence office, though aware that
over 20,000 Jews had sailed for
the Holy Land, did not know how
many evaded the blockade.

40 Pet. Non-Jews
Enter Palestine

TEL AVIV (Palcor) — Forty
percent, or 2,038 of the 6,055 certi-
ficated immigrants who entered
Palestine during the seven month
period between January and July,
1946, were non-Jews, according to
figures from the government stat-
istics bulletin.
Most of the non-Jewish immi-
grants were Arabs, including 599
who entered Palestine from the
neighboring Arab countries of Iraq.
Syria and Lebanon. Some of
these, S. Schwartz writing in the
Hebrew daily Haaretz, believes are
fifth column emmissarles. Only 39
Jews from Arab countries were
able to enter in the seven month
period owing to official prohibition
of Jewish emigration from Arab
countries.
Seven hundred and forty EH-
Ushers, who are not subject to the
quota, and 300 non-Jews from
North Africa also entered Pales-
tine during the seven month per-
iod. In July, 1946, 452 Jews en-
tered Palestine along with 385
non-Jews, only 15 per cent less
than the Jewish figure. The offi-
cial Government Gazette, since
November, 1945, announced a
monthly quota of 1500 certificates
for Jews and 100 for non-Jews.
The Statistics Bulletin's figure
shows that the Gazette has not
been telling the full story of im-
migration.
Besides legal immigration, there
is known to be considerable illegal
immigration of Arabs into Pales-
tine from neighboring countries
each day, which the government
has taken no measures to halt. On
the other hand, the landing of
visa-less Jews in Palestine has
been completely stopped.
(New York Post correspondent
George Cassidy reported that in a
single hours walk along the Pal-
estine Tranjordan frontier, he saw
several score .'labs enter Palestine
illegally.)
The Jewish Palestine birthrate
for the seven month period was
only 5,331 while the combined Mos-
lem and Christian birthrate was
20,155.

PEPI META FL NE

The Los Angeles Club at the
Jewish Center has changed its
name to the Los Angeles Telcov
Club in memory of one of Its
founders, Sylvia Telcov, who died
recently.
The club invites persons in their
forties and fifties to attend each
Sunday evening. A dance is sched-
uled for Feb. 2.
In memory of Mrs. Telcov, Pepi
Meth Fine has composed a poem
of which the following is an ex-
cerpt:

Hope often goes unfulfilled,
Little goes as men have willed.
Oh. so greatly for you we cared,
And for our loss we were not
prepared. . . .
Our link was broken.
We were left In despair;
The curtain dropped down
With an orchid In your hair.
You shall not have died In vain.
Your name. Sylvia Telcov, shall
live with us again.

U.S. Is Urged to Curb
Anti-Semitic Consuls

Northwest Sisterhood
to Meet on Wednesday

NEW YORK (Palcor) — The
American Jewish Conference filed
a protest with the State Depart-
ment against the attempts by the
British consul generals in Los An-
geles and Minneapolis to "sow
discord between American Jews
and their neighbors." The protest
was signed by Louis Lipsky in his
capacity as chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee.
In public forums, the British
consul in Los Angeles has chae-
acterized Jews as "trouble mak-
ers," and the Minneapolis tconsul
referred to the "irresponsible
American press under the influ-
ence of Zionists in this country."

A meeting of the Sisterhood of
the Northwest Hebrew Congrega-
tion will be held Wednesday even-
ing in the social hall of the syna-
gogue.
Arrangements are being made
for a masquerade Purim ball to be

Bilbo's Hospital Named
After Jewish Founder

NEW YORK—A timely reminder
to Senator Theodore G. Bilbo of
Mississippi that the Touro Infir-
matory in New Orleans, where
he was operated on and treated
for a malignant throat ailment,
was "founded and financed by a
Jew and named in his memory"
was made here by Oscar Leonard,
author of "Americans All." Leon-
ard's book has been forwarded to
Bilbo.
Judah Touro (1775-1854), who
with Amos Lawrence was a prin-
cipal donor to the Bunker Hill
Monument fund, gave his entire
fortune to Jewish and non-Jewish
institutions, Leonard points out in
his letter to Bilbo.

NEW YORK (JTA)—The Amer-
ican Jewish Committee at its 40th
annual meeting this week adopted
a resolution, which was later in-
corporated in a cable to Foreign
Minister Bevin—asking the British
goverriment "to initiate a prompt
and satisfactory solution of the
ultimate problem of government
in Palestine, with complete fair-
ness to Arabs and Jews alike,
which will guarantee to every
Palestinian complete political
equality."
The resolution emphasizes that
"if such a solution is not promptly
achieved, there should nevertheless
be immediate recognition of the
need and right of Jewish immigra-
tion and land purchase.
Judge Joseph M. Proskauer was
re-elected president of the Com-
mittee and Jacob Blaustein was
re-elected chairman of the execu-
tive group.
