ALMOST NOT ENOUGH
Aronsson told those at the
meeting that "although the Jews
of Detroit have responded glori-
ously to the 1948 Allied Jewish
Campaign, we are still short of
the goal originally set.
"We cannot afford to be an
ALMOST community this year.
Unless we succeed in reaching

our quota, the army of Israel
may be ALMOST successful in
its defense and the Jewish State
may ALMOST become a reality.

"The tragedy of ALMOST must
be turned into the achievement
of full success—for the Detroit
campaign, for the DP's, for Is-
rael.
"Every Jew must give. Every
Jew who has given must give
more. This is the week of emer-
gency appeal for $700,000 more—
the difference between ALMOST

War Brings Death
to Jewish Boy in
Jerusalem Street

The following dispatch was
sent out by the Associated Press:
JERUSALEM, June 8 (Delay.

ed) (AP)—It had seemed incon-
gruous in the first place to hear
a little Jewish boy, about nine,
whistling "Only Five Minutes
More." He strolled along in ten-
nis shoes, shorts and a blue
blouse.
An Arab mortar salvo began.
Five of the shells fell 30 yards
away, and the little boy and this
correspondent--the only persons
on the street—lay flat alongside a
high wall. The sixth one fell

short and hit the street only 10
yards away.
The little boy screamed once
and became quiet. The writer
sprinted to him, saw a pool of
blood and asked: "Where are you
hit?"
He answered calmly: "I am go-
ing to die."
There were flecks of blood in
the froth which appeared on his
lips. A Haganah staff car came
down the street. We loaded the
little boy into it. He didn't cry.
At the hospital, the nurses and
doctors worked on him but soon
stopped. He was dead.

64 Nations Sending

MONTREAUX, Switze rland
(WNS)—The second session of
the World Jewish Congress will

senting Jews in 64 countries, in-
chiding the State of Israel, will

Albert Silber of Detroit, presi-
dent of the Michigan Council,

WATCH FOR SHIPS
Count Folke Bernadotte, UN
mediator announced, that five
American warplanes were pa-
trolling the Palestine coast,
watching for Israeli ships which
might bring immigrants to Is-
rael.
in an article on his first im-
pressions of the new Jewish
State, Arthur Koestler, author
of "Thieves in the Night,"
wrote in the N.Y. Herald Trib-
une that on the road from HaIfa
to Tel Aviv he saw Arab fella-
heen tilling their soil in Israel
unmolested, and trading produce
with the Jews.
The atmosphere in Tel Aviv,
he said, is a mixture of deliri-
ous enthusiasm for the new
State and considerable bitterness
and suspicion of the Arabs.
Koestler tells pf Haganah men
mutilated by the Arabs after
fighting with small arms versus
Syrian and Iraqui tanks.
SCEPTICAL OVER TRUCE
The Jews are sceptical about
the truce he declared, with
Glubb's Legion only a dozen
miles away and with the mem-
ory of Egyptian planes bombing
bur crowds only a few days old.
The government of Israel has
demanded that the main road
from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem be
opened for food convoys in ac-
cordance with truce regulations.
At Lake Success, the Security
Council rejected a Russian pro-
posal that the Soviet be author-
ized to send military observers
to assist the UN mediator.
Israel was, meantime, using
the four-week truce as a breath-
ing spell to consolidate its po-
sitions politically and militarily.

Weizmann Vetoes
Curbs on Israel

PARIS (WNS) — Dr. Chaim
Weizmann, president of Israel,
declared here that Israel will ac-
cept no curbs on Jewish immi-
gration and will not agree to a
"'so-called Palestine Federation"
or any plan which would limit
Israel's sovereignty.
Asserting that "we are ready
to forget Arab aggression and
begin our work of reconstruction
together in an economic union,"
Dr. Weizmann stated: "I am
certain that Arabs can becomt
loyal citizens of Israel."
On the subject of immigration,
Dr. Weizmann said that, in spite
of any Arab pressure, Israel
plans to absorb more than 1,000.-
000 Jewish immigrants in the
next 10 years.
