Defy Army }'3 Detroiters ate exhorted to "Fight Bevin" by signing up as members of the Zionist Organization of America in the campaign througn- out the month of March to mobil- ize the entire Detroit Jewish corn- muniy in the ranks of Zionism. "We must not forgeo this op- portunity to prove to Ernest Bevin that strong support of the aims of Zionism is not merely restrict- ed to the "Jews of New York," as he contemptuously claims," said Morris M. Jacobs, Detroit district president. ' "This callous individual who supposedly speaks for the British government must be made to re- alize that he will encounter the united opposition of American Jewry and of all Americans of goodwill to his nefarious tactics of delay, abuse and disregard of British pledges in dealing with the Palestine problem and that of the hundreds of thousands of Europe's Jewish DP's who are condemned to a living death by his actions. 'We in Detroit must prepare now for action. We must stand up and be counted within the ranks of the ZOA to strengthen the hands of our legislators in Washington in taking affirmative American action on behalf of the Jews of Europe and Palestine." Jacobs announced that the mem- bership drive would be under the direction of Oscar J. Kritzer, who represents the national office of the ZOA. Kritzer is a former As- sociated Press and Reuters cor- respondent in the Middle East. He will remain in Detroit the entire month and will conduct the campaign with the aid of Dr. Philip E. Lachman, chairman of the membership committee. The drive, Kritzer said, will culminate in "Z Day" on Sunday, March 23, when hundreds of "Zion- ist Minute-Men" will canvass the Jewish community. "We in America must overcome our present complacency if we are to save the surviving remnants of European Jewry and give them their just rights of statehood and security in a Jewish national home in Palestine," Kritzer said. "We cannot continue to 'let George do it.' "We must make our strength and our opinion felt in the coun- cils of the United Nations. We must demonstrate to our own gov- ernmen in Washington that it has the strong and united support of American Jewry and Americans of all faiths and political beliefs. We must mobilize our strength NOW." Named FT Director Snell. Demands Complete Split An Editorial Your Community Calls One of the duties of a good citizen in a community is to attend meetings of its governing board, voice approval or objections to its acts and help elect representatives and able officers. Detroit Jews will be given an opportunity to prove their good citizenship by attending the annual meeting of the Jewish Welfare Federation at 8 p. m. Tuesday, March 18 at the Hotel Statler. The Jewish Chrorile urges every Jew who has his .ttend this vital meeting. We ask community at heart this for two reasons. It is well known that the Federation has been run, somewhat arbitrarily, by the same small group year after year. While they have made half-hearted gestures ' demo- crat", processes and, on the whole, have done a fa, job, a tint must come when new leaders, new ideas and new lilt should be introduced among the oligarchic few who running the Federation. have( Detroit Jews who want a change should nominate new leaders and attend the annual meeting to vote them into office so that democracy will prevail in the councils of the Jewish Welfare Federation. In a certain measure, the meeting will also fire the opening gun for the giant $5,335,000 Allied Jewish Cam- paign in Dttroit. The Jewish Chronicle asks everyone to support this drive generously because, through it, misery and despair can be greatly alleviated in Europe. While the Jewish Chronicle knows that of every dollar contributed, a small fraction is set aside to subsidize the Jewish News and help destroy the Chronicle, for the sake of harmony and because we desperately want the drive to succeed, .we urge wholehearted support by everyone, big- giver and little-giver. We are willing to forget the fact that many thousands of dollars of charity money are set aside annually to help finance a private newspaper which is our rival. We ask you only to remember the good works of the J1VF and of the United Jewish Appeal. We ask you to give to the Allied Jewish Campaign unstintingly. • 30-year-old GI stood in a Mu- nich street shortly after the American occupation of the city and vowed that he would help some of the refugees start life anew in America. Recently, the ex-GI, Carl Tip- ograph of New York City, with The aid of United Service for New Americans, saw the fulfill mrnt of his pledge when two Jewish refugee orphans, Leopold Lieberfreund, 17, and Adolph Lustgarden, 18, disembarked from the S. S. "Marine Marlin." when he entered shell-raked Mu- nich in the early days of 1945. Passing the museum in that city, he saw hundreds of ragged young survivors of concentration camps walking aimlessly about. Among them were Leopold and Adolph, two refugees from Wadowitz in Silesia. Getting acquainted with the or- phans, Tipograph obtained work for them with the American mili- tary authorities. When he was about to return to the United States, he promised Leopold and Adolph that he would do every- thing possible to bring them to this country. Soon after he 1-came home, he asked United Service for help in arranging the boys' immi. gration. Leopold and Adolph, accom- panied by Tipograph, told the story of their survival and immi- gration last week at the office of United Service, whose work is • • • supported by the United Jewish Appeal.

Zion Global Lobbying Mapped by Agency PITTSBURGH (WNS)—A reso- lution pledging "wholehearted sup- port and the maximum resources of American Jewry to the task of continuing the stream of Jewish immigration into Palestine in de- fiance of the British blockade," was adopted here at a special ses- sion of the national administrative council of the Zionist Organiza- tion of America. Calling the immigration of Jew- ish refugees into Palestine "a great work of rescue and mercy," the resolution warned "we shall not be intimidated by the attempts of hostile British officials to label the efforts of homeless Jews to reach Palestine as 'illegal.'" Dr. Moshe Sneh, Palestine mem- ber of the Jewish Agency execu- tive, charging that Britain's de- cision to submit the Palestine is- sue to the United Nations was a "subtle trick to mislead the public opinion of the world" and to "strangle" the Zionist program, demanded the breaking off of all further negotiations between the Agency leaders and the British foreign secretary. Dr. Abba Hillel Silver, ZOA president, appealed to the United States to use its weight in seeing that Britain carries out the man- date. The council adopted a reso- lution urging the UN to issue an interim decision requiring British compliance with the terms of the mandate. LONDON (Special) — Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin this week indicated to Jewish leaders that he intends to discuss the Palestine issue with U. S. Secretary of State George C. Marshall when they meet at the Moscow Conference, which is to open March 10. In Washington, it was revealed, Marshall notified Britain that the U. S. would favor some action to bring the Palestine issue before the United Nations before the next scheduled meeting of the General Assembly in September. The State Department said that Secretary Marshall's communica- tion was sent shortly after the British announced their decision to take the question to the UN and before President Truman's rebuke of Foreign Minister Bevin.

British representatives of the Jewish Agency left here Friday for a Palestine meeting where they will help to map a technique for lobbying on a global scale. The agency has decided to work out the types of appeals that it will make to India, South Africa, Australia and other members of the United Nations to win support (Continued on page 15) JERUSALEM (Special)— Palestine insurgents stepped up their "war" on the British military in daily attacks. They turned the Rehavia res- idential section of Jerusalem into a virtual battleground Wednesday in an attack on the British security zone in defiance of the repressive measures of martial law. Most of the shooting In the 40- minute Rehavia battle was done by British troops after a few bursts of fire from the rebels hid- den in the same vacant lot holm which the successful attack on the Goldsmith officers club was made last week. Two Jews were slightly wounded. The insurgents withdrew without loss. TROOPS BEAT JEWS Passersby who took refuge in the Jewish Agency building charg- ed that they were beaten by Tom- mies when they emerged. Abraham Rimon, a teacher, suffered a broken shoulder and possible broken ribs. When the firing ceased, the Brit- ish raided a school near the scene and rounded up 35 pupils 15 to 18 years of age for questioning. Night attacks were reported from the citrus plains. Near Rish- on le Zion, two Jews riding in a former British army truck were killed by a road mine. Near Ha- dire, insurgents attacked an army camp for 15 minutes before with- drawing. BUILDING WRECKED In Haifa insurgents completely wrecked the government assess- ment building with explosives. Wednesday morning, in daylight, they robbed the Orion Cinema in the heart of Jerusalem. Banks in Tel Avi reported less panic than previously, but with- drawals continued.

The President issued his statement following a special meeting. in the White House with a delegation of UJA leadfirs headed by Henry Morgenthau Jr., general chairman of the 1917 drive.
