Leopold's parents, brOthers, and
sisters were sent to Auschwitz, he
was selected for slave labor. He
was 13 then.
For the next three years, he was
forced to help the Germans build
secret underground factories.
When the American forces liber-
ated Dachau, he was among the
inmates found in the camp.
Adolph was 14 when a Nazi
stopped him on a street and at
gun's point ordered him into a
waiting bus, which took him
along with other Jews to a
slave labor camp. For months
he worked with pick' and shovel
until he too was sent to Dachau,
where ho Mound his friend,
Leopold.

sister, a pretty 18-year-old girl
Aim might be taken for any
American high school co-ed. He
had heard that his sister was one
of a group of girls who had been
liven an opportunity td join a
slave labor battalion and he be-
'ieved that she was alive. How-
ever, after liberation he learned
'hat his sister chose death rather

Jewish Agencies Charge Retaliation
on Entire Yishuv for Acts of Few

JERUSALEM (WNS)—Mounting violence in Palestine
since last weeks blasting of a British officers' club in Jeru-
salem has taken a toll of 22 dead and 30 injured. Though
the authorities promptly imposed martial law in areas oc-
cupied by approximately 280,000 Jews, the predminating
belief here is that the sweeping measures will not deter

the extremists from using ter-
iorism as a political weapon as
long as' London stubbornly holds
on to its present Palestine policy.
The explosion in the officers'
club and the ensuing firing and
attacks on British personnel and
installations cost the British 32
casualties, including 13 dead. Six-
ty persons were held in the Ra-
havia area, where the club was
situated.
VETERAN KILLED
A four-year-old Jewish girl was
killed and her six-year-old sister
was seriously injured by a mili-
tary patrol which raced through
the Meah Shearim section firing
indiscriminately.
At Tel Aviv, a Jewish ex-service
man, Isaac Poll, was killed when
failing to heed a stop order while
bicycling.
Following imposition of martial
law, Palestine's high commission-
er, Lt. Gen. Sir Alan Cunningham,
Issued a statement denying that
the severe measures were of a
punitive nature.
He said they were directed
solely "at bad elements." At the
same time he accused the Jewish
Agency of refusing "Its coopera-
tion in bringing to justice mem-
bers of terrorist groups," declaring
that "the severer measures now
necessary are the result of lack
of cooperation against bloodshed
and terrorism which these insti-
tutions have themselves con-
demned." The High Commissioner
referred to the Jewish Agency and
the Jewish National Council.
3 AGENCIES RETORT
Resentment at the government's
communique was expressed in a
joint statement following a meet-
ing of the Jewish National Coun-
cil and the Agency executive. The
statement said "the txisting ten-
sion would have been relieved"
if the British had permitted a
moderate increase in Jewish im-
migration to Palestine and if
slight cdncessfons were made by
the British government on the
immigration issue.
Denying that the outbreaks in
Palestine were in any way linked
to lack of cooperation by respons-
ible Jewish bodies in Palestine,
the statement charged that "the
government is now retaliating
against the Yishuv as a whole for
the crimes of a few desperate gun-
men, and is seeking by the im-
position of martial lffhr, which is
unlikely to deter the terrorists,
to punish the entire community."

Trigger-Happy Troops
Patrol Tel Aviv Area

TEL AVIV (JTA)—at his head-
quarters here, where 6,000 troops
were patrolling all streets with
orders "to shoot on sight" curfew
violators, Maj. Gen. R. H. Gale,
military commander of the Tel
Aviv area, told a press conference
that it was not his object to pun-
ish the inhabitants of the city,
but to apprehend members of the
Irgun Zvai Leumi and the SZrn
Group.
He said that the "vigorous meas-
ures," 'which he insisted were
short of actual martial law, would
"Inconvenience" the inhabitants
by cutting them off from com-
munication with the rest of the
country.
He announced that no trains
except food transports would be
allowed to enter the area, and
added that the curfew might be
lifted shortly, but even after that
rigid regulations affecting the con-
duct of the population would re-
main in effect and no one would
be permitted to enter or leave the
area until "terrorism was eralli-
cated." Factories were idle and
the schools were closed as all
Jews remained indoors.
Trigger-happy soldiers in Tel
Aviv were shooting at cars and
pedestrians who were out on
legitimate business. Itzhak Kuper-
man, Jewish district commissioner,
was fired upon by a patrol which

did not bother challenging him.
The car was peppered with bullet
holes but Kuperman escaped in-
jury.
A girl on the balcony of her
home was wounded when a soldier
fired upon her.

500 on `Arlosorof
Deported to Cyprus

JERUSALEM (JTA)—More than
500 passengers from the blockade
runner Chaim Arlosorof arrived
in Cyprus early this week.
The refugees were deported de
spite a restraining order from the
Palestine Supreme Court. Howe
ever, the government promised
that whatever disposition the court
made of the remainder of the
Arlosorof passengers would also
apply to those in Cyprus.
Sunday night from 7 p.m. to
midnight Jews throughout Pales-
tine remained indoors in a volun-
tary "internal curfew" in protest
against the deportation of the
visaless Jews. The "curfew" was
proclaimed by the Jewish National
Council.

3 Budget Hearings
Scheduled by JWF

Three budget hearings have
been scheduled for next week by
the Jewish Welfare Federation.
Thy are listed as follows: Jewish
education, Monday, March 10.
Milton K. Mahler, chairman; na-
tional health and welfare, Wed-
nesday, March 12, Samuel H. Ru-
biner, chairman; and local agen-
cies, Sunday March 16, Mrs.
Charles Lakoff, chairman.
The overseas service and com-
munity relations hearings were
held last week.

Monday, but only the food shops
were busy, since people feared to
leave their homes except for
necessities. The banks were closed
Tuesday.
The schools were almost empty
as mothers kept their children In-
doors. Because of the general dis-
ruption all Hebrew newspapers
published only one-sheet bulletins
instead or the usual full editions.
ECONOMIC DISASTER
British Gen. Gale told newsmen
that continued imposition of mar-
tial law would "inevitably spell
economic disaster" to the com-
munity. He said "business is going
to be hamstrung" but called at-
tention to the "loss of life as a
result of terrorist activity.
He asserted that his subordinate
commanders had orders to be lax
with the Jews in areas where
there is "cooperation," but that
where "obstruction or resistance"
is met there will be "no nonsense."
