JERUSALEM (JTA)—Ite-
:, organization ,of llaganah to
convert it fipm an under-
ground defense force into a
peaceful Jewish army able to
maintain order in the pro-
jected Jewish State, in case
of the immediate withdrawal

of British military forces from
Palestine, has begun.
The revamping of the Haganah
follows a resolution adopted by
the Assefath Hanivcharim, the
Jewish National Assembly, urg-
ing the total mobilization of
manpower, agriculture, industry
and science, in readiness for a
possible United Nations decision
recommending the establishment
of a Jewish State on the basis
of partition.
Members . of Haganah who
""""liaVebeen "demobilized" will be
recalled to service. Former mil-
' itary officers • will be placed in
charge of special course to pre-
pare officer and non-commis-
sioned officer cadres. At the
same time, steps are being taken
to secure rapid effective mobil-
ization of Jews of military age
all over the country in case of
an emergency.
No aggressive plans are being
prepared and the operations are
planned from a purely defensive
viewpoint.
Jewish institutions which are
entrusted with the mobiliza-
tion of industry and science to-
day were in contact with each
other in order to insure rapid
conversion from peace to an
emergency regime. All activ-
ities point to the fact that Dr.
Abba Hillel Silver, speaking be-
fore the United Nations, did not
exaggerate when he stated that
the Jews in Palestine are will-
ing and able to stand up in
defense of their right to estab-
lish a state of their- own.
The Stern Group announced
the cessation of its activities un-
til the end of the present ses-
sion of the United Nations Gen-
eral Assembly. The announce-
ment warned, however, that
"this truce does not concern
reactions to British provoca-
tions."

Rubiner Heads
Youth Committee

Appointment Made
by Mayor Jeffries

Judge Charles Rubiner has
been appointed by Mayor Jef-
fries as chairman of the City of
Detroit Youth Committee to suc-
ceed William J. Norton.
The committee was organized
by the mayor during the war
to study ways of combating ju-
venile delinquency.
It consists of II members, six
of whom are heads of city de-
partments.
A practicing attorney, Rubiner
is former assistant Attorney
General of Michigan and for-
mer judge of Common Pleas
Court of Detroit.
He is vice-president of Coh-
gregation Shaarey Zedek, a
member of the executive com-
mittee of the Jewish Community
Council, board member of the
Zionist Organization of Detroit,
board member of the United
Hebrew Schools and former
president of the Jewish Com-
munity Center.
From 1940-46, Rubiner was
chairman of a local draft board

olics. Jews and Protestants.

If their statements can be
taken as an indication of the
attitude of the United States to
the UNSCOP report —which
many do on the assumption that
Panaffia, especially, wouic,
express any opinion in interna•
tional affairs contradictory to
that of the United States—then
it can be expected that when
the American delegation finally
defines its attitude to the UN-
SCOP recommendations this
week, it will also favor parti-
tion as a basis for a United
Nations decision on the ultimate
status of Palestine.

'CLEVER' ARGUMENT

It was considered significant
in UN circles that members of
the American delegation, while
unwilling to comment previously
on statements made by other
speakers at the committee,
termed both the Latin American
statements "clever" and added
that the address by the Uruguay-
An delegate was "brilliant."

(From Jerusalem, meanwhile,
came a report that 10,000 Jews,
the largest mass shipment ever
reported, was getting under way
in the Black Sea for the voyage
to Palestine. Are officer of Haga-
nah said that the Yishuv intends
to speed immigration without
a halt until it becomes legal.)

Council Assails
Restrictive Pacts

Because of the alleged chang-
ing character of the Twelfth
street section. some residents
have attempted to organize groups
to set up restrictive covenants in
the area, the Jewish Community
Council revealed.
"It is utterly fantastic that
Jews, who are the victims of sim-
ilar discrimination, should con-
template the establishment of
such bigoted agreements," Oscar
Cohen, executive director of the
, Council, said.
"The Council believe that ob-
atruction of the exercise of free
enterprise in the ownership o
occupation of dwellings is tin
democratic and contrary to th e
spirit of our constitution. W e
condemn those practices which
support and expand this gray e
threat to the basic freedoms em -
bodied in the American concep t
of democracy."

Britain is still maneuvering
to secure a decision by the com-
mittee which would relieve the
British of the obligations of the
Mandate, at the same time that
it would allow them to remain
in the country, it is learned
here.

BRITISH ASK DELAY

Members of tit British dele-
gation have be
suggesting to
the other delegates that since
there are sharp differences of
opinion and much confusion
among the 57 delegations on the
UNSCOP report, it would be
advisable to adopt those sections
of the report which were rec-
