cooperate with such a commis-
sion. In fact, three Arab states
gave clear indication at Lake
Success that they plan to in-
vade Palestine after May 15.
They included Syria, whose
delegates protested arming of
Jews, Iraq which accused Jews
of bombing its consulate in Je-
rusalem, and Transjordan whose
ruler declared in favor of inter-
vention in a letter to the UN.
LEGION ATTACKS
From Jerusalem, came a re-
port, in the meantime, that Ab-
dullah's Legion, nominally un-
der British command, had sent
armored units to attack Haga-
nab forces at Kfar Etzion,
strongpoint on the Hebron-Jeru-
salem road.
Haganah described the Arab
attack as the greatest action in
which the Legion has thus far
participated.
In Jerusalem, Haganah at-
tacked Castle Wilhema Augustus
on Mt. Scopus to stop sniping
at nearby Hebrew University.
Irgun reported that it had oc-
cupied the wealthy Arab village
of Yehudia which barred the
way to Lydda Airport, 12 miles
east of Tel Aviv.
BRITISH SUGGESTION
The UN vote In favor of the
emergency commission w a s
taken after Britain called on
the UN to drop all talk of trus-
teeship and create, before May
)5 a temporary "neutral" author-
ity that would take over the
government.
It was clear that by the term
"neutral" Britain was trying to
rule out such an existing body
as the U.N. Palestine Commis-
sion, which is committed to car-
ry out the partition plan. In-
formed sources were inclined to
interpret the British maneuver
as an attempt to cut the legal
ground from under the plan to
proclaim a Jewish State on May
16.
The Trusteeship Council has
agreed to let the Jews and
Arabs work out truce terms for
the Old City of Jerusalem di-
rectly with the British high
commissioner. The agreement
was reached with the consent of
the Jewish and Arab delegates
to the Council.

PARIS (JWNS) — Numerous
Jewish youths in France are
volunteering for flying courses
opened in Paris by the Jewish
Agency. The young men, after
completing their courses, will
proceed immediately to Pales-
tine to fly Haganah's airplanes.
In Concert Here
One of the largest refugee families ever to find haven in the
U.S., that of Grand Rabbi Herman Feket of Hungary, recently
arrived in this country with the help of United Service for
New Americans. Rabbi and Mrs. Feket are shown with their
eight children as they are interviewed by a United Service
welfare worker. The organization receives its funds from the
United Jewish Appeal, supported in Detroit by the Allied
Jewish Campaign.

A report from Jericho said that
Arab refugees who were aban-
doning Palestine were of the
opinion that the Palestine cause
was lost and that the Jewish of-
fensive would crush the opposi-
tion.
A highly informed Jerusalem
Arab told reporters that the Jews
had at least 45,000 well-trained
and well-equipped troops to han-
dle any combined offensive by
the Arab states.
These refugees are of the opin-
ion that the Arab states have
bungled the situation, that it is
now too late for them to reme-
dy it. Most of them spoke bit-
terly of the Arab leaders who led
them into the tragedy of aban-
doning homes and businesses.

Jews are nut intermarrying at
a greater rate than ever, a study
by a Syracuse University sociolo-
gist has revealed. The survey
is discussed by Ben Gollob in
his series, 'Science Examines the
Jew," in the National Jewish
Post.
"Generalizations concerning an
ever increasing rate of Jewish
intermarriage in America are not
substantiated by comparative
analysis of the facts available
here and abroad," Milton L.
Barron reported in the Ameri-
can Journal of Sociology for Feb-
ruary, 1946. His article was en-
titled "The Incidence of Jewish
Intermarriage in Europe and
America."
HINGES ON CONDITIONS
"Jewish intermarriage does not
necessarily adhere to a pattern
of increasing incidence," he re-
ported. "It varies in time and
place according to the fluctua-
tions of social conditions."
Barron made a survey of one
small Connecticut city and corn-
pared his findings with other
results of studies on intermarri-
age. The town he picked was
Derby with 110 Jewish families
in a population of 10,287.
Pre-marriage activities of Jew-
ish boys and girls in Derby ex-
plain the absence of intermarri-
age, Barron pointed out. Jewish
boys in Derby, for instance, have
many male friends among Gen-
tiles but only rarely does ore
have a Gentile girl friend.
CITES PARENTAL PRESSURE
Male friends of Jewish girls
in Derby are carefully checked
by their families, Barron said,
and much pressure is exerted in
the rare case where a Jewish
girl has a romantic interest in a
Gentile boy.
Interestingly enough, Barron
said, Jewish boys in Derby ran
ly marry Derby Jewish girls. I
stead, because they have prac-
tically grown up with the girls,
they go mate-hunting in nearby
cities.
Shulman Reelected Liberation Day
at Shaarey Zedek Caltvass Awaited
British Plot to Prop Arabs
by Rushing In New Troops
(Continued from Page 1)
London say that the British gov-:
ernment reiterated determina-
tion to yield the mandate on May
15 and to complete military with-
drawal by August 1.
MAY CHANGE PLANS
Observers here believe that the
sudden decision to send fresh
troops in the midst of a troop
evacuation process indicated that
there may perhaps be a major
change in announced British pol-
icy.
Others view the move as a
possible indication that Britain is
bent on unilateral action irre-
spective of any ultimate action
that may be taken by the United
Nations General Assembly at its
special session at Lake Success.
Others see in the British move
the realization by Britain that
nothing will emerge from the
present session of the Assembly.
