Julius Klein, right, national commander of the Jewish War Veterans, greets Maurice Bordelove, retiring commander of the Department of Michigan. Gen. Klein in his address blasted the "bunk concerning the dual loyalty" of American Jews. "No one challenged the loy- alty of the Irish, Poles,' Czechs and Finns who tried to create sentiment for the reestablish- ment of a free country," he pointed out. "Let no one chal- lenge the loyalty of the Ameri- can Jew because he marches in the interests of the Holy Land. "To him Israel is a foreign country but he is tied to it by emotion, by religion, by race and by a love of justice." BRITISH BLAMED Gen. Klein denied that the security of the U.

Franklin, Rabbi Emeri- tus of Temple Beth El, resigned from the anti-Zionist organiza- tio,n June 1. In a letter to Lessing J. Ro- senwald, president of the coun- cil, Dr. Franklin declared that he had become convinced that the body's policy was destruc- tive. "and with such a policy I cannot be in sympathy." ASKED TO DISSOLVE Only last week, one of the founders of the council, Dr. Louis Wolsey, Rabbi Emeritus of Congregation Rodeph Sha- lom, Philadelphia, advised the organization to dissolve, and ap- pealed to the Jews of America to "support the present reality of a land of Israel with all our strength." The 'following is the text of Dr. Franklin's letter: "Dear Mr. Rosenwald "I cannot personally think of myself in other terms than as an American citizen of the Jewish faith. As the Thora is the only symbol of my Jewish- ness so the stars and stripes represent the only flag • to which give political allegiance.

Barring a last-minute reversal by Jews or Arabs, the mediation conferences were expected to open at once. Two major „changes in Count Folke Bernadotte's compromise proposals have been accepted. Firstly, he himself will deter- mine how many men of military age will be permitted into Pal- estine during the truce. AID HOLY CITY JEWS Secondly, the International Red Cross will administer re- lief to 90,000 besieged Jews in Jerusalem as well as to civilians in other cities blockaded by both sides. Before the fighting ended, the main Egyptian invasion force, encircled near Isdud ;. south of Tel Aviv, broke the Israeli chain ringing them by capturing the Jewish settlement of Nitsanim and forging a path to the sea. Egyptian naval forces imme- diately rushed supplies and re- inforcements. But Israeli units continued harassing the Egyp- tians who suffered heavy cas- ualties. CIVILIANS POUNDED In the meantime, the heaviest Egyptian air raids on Tel Aviv were going on. Egyptian Spit- fires and bombers dropped bombs four times over Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning. One bomb exploded in the market place c a us ing civilian casualties. Another landed near a beach hotel. In a story in the N.Y.
