FRANKFURT AM MAIN,
(Special)—The 140,000 Jews
in displaced persons camps
in the American zone of Ger-
many will be organized for
a "march on Palestine" soon,
the New York Herald Trib-
une said in a copyright story.
The first of a series of demon-
strations to mobilize Jews for
mass migration to Palestine has
already been held in DP camps,
the story reported.
Both UNRRA and European
Command headquarters, as well
as Jewish officials here and in
Munich, have confirmed the mi-
gration plans, the paper declared.
A spokesman for the British
Military Government in Berlin
was quoted as having said: "We
have expected this. It will be
like the Biblical Exodus.
"They can't be stopped. It's
like a tide."
According to reports, Rabbi
Philip S. Bernstein, adviser on
Jewish affairs to the U. S.
commander, recently toured the
American zone to inform constab-
ulary commanders of the impend-
ing exodus.
While nallitziry law prohibits in-
dividuals from crossing zonal bor-
ders, both the army and German
police arc unable to prevent
Jews from crossing in small num-
bers.
There are two opinions on how
the exodus should take place. One
faction wants the Jews to slip out
quietly in small groups and the
other seeks to stage an open mass
movement out of the American
zone, thus posing a definite prob-
lem to the American army.

`Thrill of Lifetime' on Passover Eve
NEW YORK (WNE)—The Zion-
ist Organization of America will
commemorate its 50th anniversary
by the founding of a colony in
Palestine, according to plans ap-
proved by the national executive.
Success, a Foreign Office spokes-
man said.
The authorization to present the
Palestine issue to the UN, which
was given Sir Alexander Cado-
gan, chief British representative
at Lake Success, still stands, he
added.
He stressed that Britain was
awaiting the outcome of the con-
sultations initiated by the UN
secretariat with the interested
powers, and said that thus far it
had received no information as
to their reaction to the proposal,
aside from the State Department's
announcement of last Friday ap-
proving the idea. A report of
Russian approval was not con-
firmed.
'WAR' IS CHARGED
In Jerusalem, meanwhile, Da-
vid Ben Gurion, chairman of the
Jewish Agency, charged that For-
eign Secretary Bevin's policy is
fundamentally a declaration of
war against Zionism.
He declared that Britain's only
aim in presenting the case to the
UN is to obtain international
sanction for perpetuating in Pal-
estine a base for British armies
withdrawing from Egypt, Syria
and India.
Ben Gurion told the Vaad Lou-
mi that the fate of Palestine can
be settled only by the obstinacy
and courage of the Jewish com-
munity and its capacity to fight
and protect itself.
MINIMIZES UN
"I feel certain," he declared,
"that neither negotiations nor
talks with ministers nor even the
UN will fix Palestine's fate."
As he spoke reports came that
the Palestine Supreme Court had
granted an application of the
municipality of Tel Aviv for an
order for a rehearing on the sen-
tencing of Dov Gruner—patriot,
condemned to die by military au-
thorities.

Zionist Organization of Detroit, at

Shaarey Zedek.
Morris M. Jacobs, president of
the Zionist Organization of De-
troit, has announced that both the
main auditorium and the social
hall of Shaarey Zedek are to be
used for this meeting.
Crum's tribute to Jewish achieve-
ments in Palestine is widely
known. An outstanding lawyer and
a noted liberal, he Is the author
of the recent book "Behind the
Silken Curtain," an account of
Anglo-American diplomacy in Pal-
estine and the Middle East.
Dr. Philip Lachman, chairman
of 'the Zionist membership cam-
paign, announces that 1,000 new
members have enrolled in the cur-
rent drive.
"A great many more are ex-
pected to be enlisted within the
next few days," he said.
Her first day In America was the thrill of a lifetime for Mrs.
Johanna Putzrath, a 58-year-old grandmother (holding her grand-
son Ronald Peter). Mrs. Putzrath, who hid from the Nazis in
Berlin throughout the war, arrived on the S.S. "Marine flasher"
to join her ex-GI son Alfred, right, and daughter-in-law Margaret,
left, with the aid of United Service for New Americans, whose
work is supported by the $170,000,000 United Jewish Appeal cam-
paign. The night she arrived Mrs. Putzrath and her son were
interviewed on a coast-to-coast broadcast entitled "Reunion" over
the Mutual Network, where, at the psychological moment, 7-month-
old Ronald was revealed to her for the first time.

Parleys Resumed
on Kosher Meats
Reprcentativcs of the Kosher
Butchers Association have recon-
sidered their refusal to continue
discussion of charges that prices
of kosher meat in Detroit are ex-
orbitant and have resumed talks
with the Jewish Community Coun-
cil, Louis Fraiberg, director of
internal relations, has announced.
The Vaad Harabonim, organiza-
tion of orthodox Rabbis, has of-
ficially joined the talks to sup-
plement earlier efforts to negoti-
ate with the butchers.
A joint meeting last week was
highly satisfactory, Fraiberg said.
Because of Passover, however, the
talks will have to be postponed
for two weeks. In the meantime,
he said, his investigation on be-
half of the Council is continuing.
