in Protest of
Deportations

JERUSALEM (JTA)—Virtual-
ly every Jew in Palestine fasted
this week to demonstrate his
solidarity with the Exodus ref-
ugees now en route to Germany.
Cafes and places of entertain-
ment closed down and throngs
filled the Synagogues where spe-
cial prayers were read from the
Book of Exodus and the Shofar
sounded, Orthodox Jews prayed
at the 'Wailing Wall.
A Jewish Agency spokesman
said that "Jews in all countries
of their dispersion are identified
through the solidarity of their
fast with their brethren on the
high seas who are being re-
turned to the 'Valley of Slaugh-
ter.'" He added that the politi-
cal blindness of the British gov-
ernmen) is setting the whole
world •against it.

WORLDWIDE SYMPATHY
The more than 15,000 depor-
tees on Cyprus participated it
the fast, according to report,
from there. Rations were re-
ceived in the morning with the
understanding ,that they would
not be distributed tintil night-
fall.
About 170,000 Jews in the
western zones of Germany ob-
served a day of fasting' and
prayer in protest against the
return to Germany of the Exo-
dus refugees.
More than 2,000 Jews par-
ticipated in a meeting in Lodz.
Poland, to protest the deporta-
tion of the refugees. A similar
meeting was held in Cracow.
The United Zionist Council.
representing all Zionist groups
in Canada, has sent a protest to
the British government on Ex-
odus case.

Jewish, Arab States
Reported Proposed;
Refugees at Gibraltar

LONDON (JTA)—The three British ships returning
the 4,400 Exodus refugees to Germany reached Gibraltar
Tuesday and immediately started recoaling for their journey
to Hamburg. They were expected to remain two days at
Gibraltar.
A Reuter correspondent on board the Runnymede Park,
one of the ships, cabled "the tension of the long odyssey is
beginning to fray the immigrants' nerves." He also reports

that members of the British
crew are "fed up" and several
plan to quit the ship at Ham-
burg.
The miserable conditions on
board the ships were worsened
by dense clouds of coal dust
that covered the vessels' decks.
According to the correspondent,
the refugees were being restrict-
ed to the holds and the wired,
deck cages while the refueling
was proceeding. He said that
heavy troop reinforcements had
sealed off the docks.
PARTITION FAVORED
Meantime, reports came from
Geneva that the United Nations
Palestine commission had voted
eight to three informally in
favor of the partition of Pales-
tine into separate Jewish and
Arab states.
The delegates of Iran and In-
dia were reported to favor par-
tition plus federation. Yugo-
slavia was said to be holding out
for a bi-national state with po-
litical parity_ for the two na-
tionalities.
PEEL PLUS NEGEV
"' The formula for the Jewish
state is reported to be "Peel
plus the northern Negev." This
would give the Jews the area
proposed by the Peel commis-
sion in 1937 plus part of the
Negev desert.
The UN committee is reported
to be favoring the complete ous-
ter of Britain from Palestine.
Reports say that pressure is be-
ing exerted from Washington,
however, to let the British re-
main in control.
It was indicated that the Ex-
odus deportees would not dis-
embark peacefully at Hamburg,
despite statements to that effect
by the commander of the con-
voy.

Police tore down more than
20 anti-British stickers posted on
refuse cans, utility posts and
buildings in downtown Detroit
last Sunday.
Witnesses told police that
three boys and three girls
around 19 years old distributed
these post-card sized stickers
