Glazer Address
Launches Drive

With the Allied Jewish
Campaign for $5,335,000 past
the halfway mark, 3,700 vol-
unteer workers spurred their
solicitation of prospects this
week after being inspired to
greater efforts by a moving
address by Pr. B. Benedict
Glazer, launching the cam
paign Tuesday at a dinner in

the Hotel Statler.
Dr. Glazer spoke in place of
Dr. Abbe. Hillel Silver who was
forced to cancel his appearance at
the last minute because of press-
ing demands on his time as chair-
man of the American section of
the Jewish Agency at the United
Nations Assembly.
Report luncheons for all work-
ers will lie held at 12:15 p. m.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday in
the Statler. The campaign official-
ly ends Friday, May 16.
RISE IN TRIBUTE
Although he was given only a
few hours' time to prepare, Dr.
Glazer spoke with such eloquence
that the entire body which over-
flowed the huge Grand Ballroom
of the Statler rose spontaneously
in a tribute to him at the conclu-
sion of his address.
"The success of American Jewry
in this, the greatest voluntary
fund raising campaign in the
world, will resound as a peal of
thunder before the United Na-
tions," he declared.
"It will serve notice to the
world of our unity, that we have
given our maximum to aid the
battle of survival of our brothers
and that now it is the world's
turn.
NO TIME FOR JEWS
"During this last agonizing
week, 6,000,000 dead could not buy
five minutes of time before the
United Nations which was found-
ed to build a new world.
"Civilizations have declined,"
Dr. Glazer went on, quoting emi-
nent historians, "because, in addi-
tion to economic and political
weaknesses, they possessed moral
defects which destroyed their
vitals, but the Jews have survived
because they had character and
principle.
"Our people still fight to sur-
vive but in the spirit of Jewish
history and destiny so that they
may live in the world wth de-
cency and dignity.
Turning to American Jewry, Dr.
Glazer pointed out that as far as
the campaign is concerned our
problem is just one of money
compared to the human misery
and want which is the problem of
the DP.
"Let us build a sense of morale,
of responsibility for Jews every-
where," he pleaded. "Let us crud*
a Jewish life here that will pre-
serve the best within us."

DR. B. BENEDICf GLAZER

Ben Gurion Off
to UN Session

Yishuv Divided
on Independence

JERUSALEM (Special) —David
Ben Gurion, chairman of the Jew-
ish Agency executive, left by plane
for New York where he will rep-
resent the Jewish case before the
United Nations.
He left Palestine Jews sharply
divided on his statement that he
would be willing to compromise
on the basis of a five-year wait
for independence for a Jewish
state.
Except for a small group of
leftists who want a bi-national
state in conform—ice with Com-
munist ideology, . tost Jews want
independence. The question is
whether it would be wiser to wait
five years under a UN trustee-
ship while immigration is allowed
up to the absorptive capacity of
the country.
Meanwhile, the Arab press de-
nounced the UN decision to hear
the Jewish case and one paper
mourned that "the world has ral-
lied against us and supports Zion-
ism."
From London came a report
that the imposition of collective
fines on Jewish communities to
pay for damage done- by extrem-
ists was under consideration.

Nation Joins With Bnai Brith
in Mourning for Henry Monsky

OMAHA, NEB.—Henry Monsky,
president of Bnal Brith and out-
standing American Jewish leader
who died last Friday in New
York, was buried here following
funeral services at Temple Israel.
Mr. Monsky's death from a
heart attack as he prgsided over
a meeting of the interim commit-
tee of the American Jewish Con-
ference was a profound shock to
the Jewish community every-
where. Expressions of tribute to
his statesmanship and his services
to humanitarian causes came to
his family and the Bnai Brith na-
tional headquarters in Washington
from Jew and non-Jew alike In
all parts of the United States and
Canada and in every walk of life.
He was stricken while address-
ing national Jewish leaders on the
tremendous need for Jewish unity
in order to cope with the prob-
lems of Palestine in the current
United Nations general assembly
session.
A great gathering of Mr. Mon-
sky's fellow-townsmen of all faiths
attended the funeral services joint-
ly conducted here by reform Rab-
bi Arthur Lelyveld and orthodox
Rabbi Israel Moshowitz of Oma-
ha, Rabbi David Wice of New-
ark, N. J., formerly of Omaha,
and Dr. Abram L. Sachar, nation-
al director of Bnai Brith Hillel
Foundations.
Members of the Bnai Brith na-
tional executive committee gath-
ered here from all sections of the
country to attend the services.
The body lay in state at the Jew-
ish Community Center prior to
the funeral services at Temple
Israel.

a committee hearing on an equal
footing with the Jewish Agency
for Palestine.
The threat of an Arab boycott
was beleived to have motivated
the unusual procedure whereby,
in effect, the political committee
transformed itself into the As-
sembly and issued the invitation
to the Arabs.
2 PLANS CLASH
Before these developments, the
political committee got a fair
start on the big job of constitht-
ing and instructing a Palestine
investigation commission which
will report recommendations for
a permanent Palestine solution in
September.
A controversy immediately de-
veloped. The U. S. asked that
seven small and "neutral" states
make up the commission. Ar-
gentina demanded instead that the
Big Five be members of the body.
Australia and Britain sided with
the U. S. and Yugoslavia joined
Argentina. The latter move was
a sign that Russia would also de-
mand Big 5 representation on the
argument that Palestine was a
problem of big power interest.
FIRST AGENCY 'VICTORY
The Jewish Agency won its first
victory at the session when the
Assembly voted 44 to 7 a resolu-
tion instructing the political corn-%
mittee to grant a hearing to it.
Only the five Arab states, Tur-
key and Afghanistan voted against
the Agency. The U. S. reversed
