Iladassah Hospital
Bombed in Arab Raid

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — Thirty
Arabs were killed and a like
number wounded when a force
of 300 attempted to storm Mt.
Scopus and overwhelm the
Jewish d..:Niders of the Iladas-
sah lics:iital and Hebrew Uni-
versity.
Openinl their attack at dawn,
the raid rs scaled the heights
under cover of the rough ter-
rain and with Arab mortar
shells flying overhead. The Ha-
ganah permitted the Arab ri-
flemen to approach within close
range before they opened fire.
Within a short time the Arabs
were in full retreat down the
slope.

VILLAGE BLASTED
After several more attempts
the Arabs fell back on their
base , in a village nearby. The
Haganah pursued them to the
village and surrounded and
blasted several houses in which
the leaders of the band had
gathered.
British troops entered the
battle on Mt. Scopus in its lat-
ter phases.
Although Arab mortar shells
are reported to have fallen in
the hospital grounds, damage
to the buildings is believed to
have been light. Nine medical
personnel were injured.
In the counterattack on the
Arab village, the Jews lost one
dead and six ,wounded. Before
the battle was ended, the Jews
and the Arabs had both brought
machineguns, mortars and small
arms into play in one of the

to Draw 2,000

Gervasi to Address
Campaign Opener

Nearly 2,000 women are ex-
pected at the campaign curtain
raiser of the Women's Division
of the Allied Jewish Campaign
at 2 p.m. Wednesday, in the
Brown Memorial Chapel of Tem-
ple Beth El, when Frank Ger-
vasi, Collier's Magazine's "Rov-
ing Foreign Correspondent," will
be guest speaker.
The meeting will signal the
opening of a drive under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Joseph H.
Ehrlich and Mrs.. Henry Wine-
man in which the Women's Divi-
sion will aim for the greatest
effort in its history—in support
of the three-dimensional program
of the United Jewish Appeal and
56 other overseas, national and
local institutions and agencies.
Author of an outstanding new
book, "To Whom Palestine," Ger-
vasi has become a leading cham-
pion of the Jewish cause since a
visit to Palestine altered certain
of his views which he admits to
have been "pro-Arab." Assign-
ments to cover Spain, Ethiopia,
England, India and China have
given him the experience and in-
sight for a sympathetic analysis
of the conflict between peoples.
All Detroit Jewish women are
invited to attend the curtain
raiser.

IRGUN, IIAGANAII CLASH .
The Irgun and Haganah clash-
ed in Tel Aviv when members
of the former group solicited
funds publicly for their war
chest. The Irgun also accused
the Haganah of having disarm-
ed some of its members after
an operation which the dissi-
dents had carried out against the
British. A repetition of such
behavior will result in ' the Ir-
gunists opening fire, the under-
ground threatened.
Meanwhile, the number of
Jews killed and wounded mount-
ed as a result of Arab attacks
on Jewish convoys. It was re-
ported that about 100 trucks
loaded with Arabs, armed with
machineguns, mortars and ex-
plosives have infiltrated across
the Palestine border from Syria
and Transjordan.

Has No Intention
to Yield Further

LAKE SUCCESS, (JTA)—The
Jewish Agency issued a state-
ment denying reports' that it is
prepared to agree to a revision
of the partition decision and to
make new concessions on the
Palestine issue.
"These reports are entirely
without foundation," the Agen-
cy said. It emphasized that the
Jews await "a loyal and faith-
ful implementation of the UN
decision.
"At the same time the-parti-
tion plan was discussed before
the General Assembly last Oc-
tober," the statement pointed
out, "the Jewish Agency stated
that the plan of partition which
was proposed involved enormous
sacrifice on the part of the Jew-
ish people, which in all justice
should not have been demanded
of it.
"But in order to help solve
the grave international problem
and as evidence of its willing-
ness to join with the commu-
nity of nations in an effort to
bring peace to the troubled
land the Jewish Agency stated
that it most reluctantly accepts
that sacrifice. 'Beyond it,' it de-
clared, 'we cannot, we will not
go.'
"This position remains un-
changed," the statement empha-
sized. "The Jewish people has
accepted the decision of the
United Nations. It means loy-
ally to co-operate with it. It
awaits a corresponding loyal
and faithful implemenation of
that decision by the United Na-
tions."

Mrs. James Olshan of Chicago,
member of the national board of
Hadassah, will speak at a meet-
ing of the Business and Profes-
sional Division of Hadassah,
Wednesday evening in the Jew-
ish Center. '
Mrs. Olshan is also chairman
of the Women's Division of the
United Jewish Appeal campaign
in the Chicago area. A movie,
"House in the Desert," will fol-
low her talk.

In the first six months of this
year the JDC will purchase in
the United States for shipment to
Europe's Jews almost 31,000,000
pounds of essential food supplies.

through Big Five instrumentali-
ty "leaves us greatly bewilder-
ed" since "it may lead to ilea
delays and complications wing/
may jeopardize the implementa-
tion of the whole plan and fur-
ther exacerbate the situation in
Palestine," Moshe Shertok, po-
litical chief of the Jewish Agen-
cy, told the Security Council in
a bristling address at Lake Suc-
cess in which he asserted that
the Agency was prepared to set
up a Jewish state even if it does
not have the backing of an in-
ternational force.
Shertok accused the British
government of carrying on a
campaign of obstructionism in
Palestine and, in substantiation
he pointed to the fact that while
British authorities were exercis-
ing all means at their disposal
to stop even the slightest trickle
of Jewish immigration into Pal-
estine, no such comparable ef-
forts were expended by the
British to halt the incursion into
Palestine of armed banUs from
the neighboring states.

IGNORE WARNING
He disclosed that on a particu-
lar occasion the Jewish Agency
gave the British a 48-hour ad-
vance warning that a party of
Arabs from the neighboring
states was headed for Palestine
and that, despite the warning,
the British took no measures to
stop the infiltration.
Meantime, in Jerusalem, re-
ports said that Jews were talk-
ing of a definite campaign to ex-
terminate terrorists who have ,
been attacking Jews in large
numbers, and the British army
threatened to use heavy weapons
to "quiet both sides."
