WA Reaffirms Demands for Jewish State
Orphan Makes Hit With 'Mom', 'Pop'
Indian Dodged
by Ben Curio!'
NEW YORK (WNS)—The 50th annual convention of
the Zionist Organization of America concluded here with a
resolution affirming the principles which have guided the
Zionist movement for the past half century and with an
appeal for international assistance in the reestablishment of
Palestine as a Jewish- State,
The convention called on the United States government
to issue an unequivocal statement of its traditional position
on Palestine and to place its record on the, Palestine issue
before the United Nations. It demanded that Great Britain
chairman of the Jewish Agency
WONT BE TRAPPED
Ben Gurion, however, was too
wily to be trapped into that kind
of examination. In reply to the
probers objections that a UN
army in Palestine would be un-
fair to the Arabs and would start
a full-scale Jewish-Arab war, the
Agency chairman said that the
Yishuv would be pleased if all
British troops quit Palestine to-
morrow to leave the Jews and
Arabs to work out their problems
by themselves.
"The Arabs are sensible people,"
he told the UN committee.
Dr. Chaim Weizmann, former
president of the World Zionist Or-
ganization, followed Ben Gurion
to advocate partition of Palestine.
CONFIRM EXECUTIONS
In the, meantime, the British
army commander confirmed the
death sentences against three
young members of the Irgun who
allegedly participated in the Acre
prison attack. The stage was
thus set for a new outbreak of
terror, apparently part of the Bri-
tish plan to embarrass the Jewish

ALOIS LOWENSTEIN, a four-year-old war orphan, made a hit
.with his new "mom" and "pop," Mr. and Mrs. Max Barack of
South Bend, Ind., the moment they met for the first time on a
New York City pier last week. The Baracks, who lost their
own three children, arranged for the immigration of Alois
with the aid of United Service for New Americans. Alois
was cared for by Catholic sisters in an infant's home in Trieste
where he was found by Barack's brother, serving as a chap-
lain with the American troops in Italy. United Service-and the
Joint Distribution Committee brought the youngster to the
United States.
Ferguson Visions
DP Bill Passage
Sponsors Measure
to Ease Immigration
WASHINGTON (JTA)—Sena-
tor Homer Ferguson, Republican
of Michigan, who last week in-
troduced into the Senate, with
the co-sponsorship of eight other
senators, a bill to admit an un-
stated number of displaced per-
sons to the United'States over a
four-year period as non-quota
immigrants, said he was hope-
ful that the Senate judiciary
committee would set hearings on
the measure 'within the next few
weeks. He expressed confidence
that the measure would be
passed.
President Truman in a special
message to Congress Monday
urged the admission of an un-
specified number of DP's.
IMMEDIATE MOVE •
The measure purpoiely did
not fix the number of DP's to
be admitted, as does the Strat-
ton bill in the liouge. Ferguson
explained that whatever ref-
ugees were to be 'brought here
should be admitted immediately,
"so they'll know there's some
hope," instead of having to wait
four more years.
Having viewed the DP camps
just after liberation in 1945,
Ferguson declared, "anybody
who had seen them couldn't ob-
ject to this bill."

Jacobs Elected to Executive Board:
Silver Turns Over Reins to Neumann
JERUSALEM (Special)—
Palestine Jewry demanded
this week that the United
Nations provide a force to
assure free immigration into
a Jewish State that would
take in all of Palestine.
The demand was made be-
for the UN Special Commit-
tee by David Ben Gurion,
executive.
The replies were not friend-
ly. One of the investigators,
the representative from India, was
hostile throughout the questioning
of Ben Gurion and assumed the
tactics of a bullying district at-
torney, putting loaded questions
to Ben Gurion and demanding
that he answer "yes or no."

Senator Hatch. Democrat of
New Mexico, one of the bill's
sponsors, hopes for "quick ac-
tion" to fulfill the "moral obli-
gation" of the United States to-
ward the DP's.
"I do not see how we can pos-
sibly take the position of insist-
ing that others perform similar
obligations resting upon them,"
Hatch said in the Senate, "un-
less we evidence a willingness
to perform some part in the dis-
charge of our own obligations."
