DP Camp Must Be Abolished, Dr. Kleinman Emphasizes The DP camp Is a festering *linker to the homeless Jew of Mirope that must be cut away immediately if he is ever to live again as c normal human being. Thig is the observation of Dr. Shmarya Kleinman vice-presi- dent of the Jewish Community Council, who returned two weeks ago from a three-month tour of Europe. A reception in his honor was given by the Council Wednesday M the Jewish Center, Dr. Kleinman said the military governmsnts are anxious to liqui- date the DP camps because they eonsider them barriers blocking good relations with local German governments. EP IS DEPRESSED This friction is generated, Dr. Kleinman said, by a German feeling that the Jewish DP's are a privileged group and respon- *isle for high prices and the slack market. - The birth of Israel gave the DP an Idift in spirit," Dr. Kleintnan said, "but the restric- tions on immigration are making him depressed and frustrhted.". Calling the health situation in comps "surprisingly good," he re- vealed tnat there have been no :serious epidemics among DP's. "Tuberculosis is the most men- icing disease, and unfortunately , Israel Pushes Trade with Britain and Eire LONDON (WNS)—A trade of- has Bien opened by the pro- Visional government of Israel in London. Negotiations for the sale of oranges and other citrus fruits le Britain will begin as soon as a delegation of Palestine citrus merchants, who were invited to Oorne to England by the British ministry of food, will arrive. At the same time it was also announced that Israel and Eire have signed an agreement pro- viding for the export of citrus products to Ireland. Eire has re- cently been exporting to Israel considerable supplies of canned meats. lee there are not enough Jewish doc- sors trained to care for TB pa- tients," he added. EMPHASIZES NEEDS Dr. Klein:min stressed two seeds which he considers vitally important to sase the plight of the DP. They are: 1. Clooer cooperation among isganizations doing immigration work. "There is too much du- plication and inefficiency now with so many .,croups working in- dependently and in competition," he said. 2. Greeter emphasis on reha- bilitation in camps. "More short courses are needed to prepare the DP for future life," he stated. At the same time, Dr. Klein- man pc:d special tribute to the Joint Distribution Committee and ORT for the "excellent work they are doing under difficult condi- tions." Shift SOS Day Drive to Oct. .3 . 1 After a conference with the weather bureau, the SOS Com- mittee of Detroit has changed the date of SOS Day, 1948 from Nov. 14 to Sunday, Oct. 31 in a bid-for fair and rainless weather. The collection of supplies for overseas survivors was a magnifi- cent success last year, despite a heavy, aU-day rain. "We feel, however, that we will have a better chance for good weather and of reaching our quota of a half million pounds of food and clothing if we hold the SOS one-day drive somewhat earlier this year," Mandell L. Berman, Detroit SOS chairman, said. "We hope that organizations will cooperate with us by not scheduling any special events on SOS Day as we will be counting on members of men, women's and youth groups to help in this conununity-wide collection?" NEW YORK (WNS)—Deteri- oration of the military situation and disunity within the . Arab League rather than UN pressure has forced the Arab states into accepting the UN Palestine truce, it was reported by Overseas News Agency. The report said that the Arab propagandists were misleading their people when they claimed fear of UN sanctions compelled them to accept the truce. In truth, the correspondent disclos- ed, the Arabs were expecting to crush Israel within a few weeks, and they "learned too late that they didn't have what it takes to win even a small-scale war." NOTE SUPERIORITY Israeli victories at Lydda, Ramie and Nazareth have con- vinced the Arab leaders of the superiority of their opponents. The reported resignation of Gen. Glubb, known as Glubb Pasha, was a repercussion of the defeats sustained by the Arab Legion. A serious factor in the in- ability of the Arabs to wage war was lack of hard currency with which to purchase ammunition in the European market. Belief that the Arab League may abandon its opposition to Zionism because of the Israeli victories in Palestine was ex- pressed in the well-informed "London Observer." , The paper predicted that the (Continued on Page 2) Czechs to Produce Movies for Israel PRAGUE (WNS)—Starting in October, the Barandov studios will begin filming Hebrew mo- tion pictures for Israeli con- sumption, according to a con- tract signed between the Palam- Film corporation of Israel and the Czech film industry. Production costs for the first film, it is estimated, will average about $240,000. Israeli actors will be brought to Czechoslovakia to play the leading roles. In„ the first step towards probable annexation, the gov- ernment of Israel decreed that Jerusalem would be con- sidered as Jewish-occupied TEL AVIV (WNS)—The State of Israel is ready to enter into direct negotiations with the states of the Arab League with territory and subject to the taws of Israel. A Jewish governor would take over. The action nullified the view that Jerusalem is an interna- tionalized city and placed the ancient capital under Jewish rule for the first time in 2,000 years. In the meantime, at Lake Suc- cess, the Security Council by a single vote refused. to reopen the Palestine dispute by send- ing it for adjudication to the International Court of Justice at the Hague.
