A $13,000 Gift for Jewish State Neumann Assails Count Bernadotte Blast Before Leaving for Israel (By Jewish World News Service) NEW YORK (WNS) —Israel would be justified in claiming all of Palestine in the event the UN mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, either abandons or deviates from the UN partition resolution of Nov. 29, 1997, Dr. Emanuel Neumann, president of the Zionist Organization of America, declared here on the eve of his departure for Israel, where he is to attend the meet- ing Aug. 22 of the Zionist Ac- tions Committee. Dr. Neumann made the state- ment at a press conference, dur- ing which he asserted that "Count Bernadotte does not seem to understand that the Nov. 29 resolution is law in the question of the partition of Pal- estine." SCORES U.S. DELAY At the same time he expressed the view that "since the recom- mendation of the United Nations to place Jerusalem under an in- ternational regime has not been implemented, it would be proper to incorporate the major part of Jerusalem, which is Jewish in character and under military occupation by Israel, within the Jewish State." Declaring that Zionist leader- ship had expected the U.S. Gov- ernment to extend de jure rec- ognition to the state of Israel as well as economic assistance, Dr. Neumann observed: "We have been led to believe that both of those measures would be adopted in the near future, since they have been approved in the platforms of both the Republican and Democratic par- ties.

Jewish Governor Takes Over as Jerusalem Strife Goes On `Clown Prince' to Teach Israelim Baseball Tricks NEW YORK (WNS) — Al Schacht, former pitcher who has since 1921 has been entertaining Americans all over the world with his baseball burlesques, has been asked by the Palestine Film Corp. to introduce, "the great American game" to Israel. Schacht, often referred to as the Clown Prince of Baseball," plans to leave for Israel early in October. Queried as to the details of his mission, Schacht replied that he was still a little hazy about what was expected- of him. But, he added, "I as- sume they'll want to learn my own pitching style."

SEES VRITISII RELENT The prospects of British rec- ognition of Israel are better than they have ever been before. Dr. Nahum Goldmann is back in London, and in deep negotiations with various ministries of the British government. Bevin, under heavy question- ing in Parliament still refused to commit himself on the recog- nition of Israel, but nevertheless there are a number of hopeful signs in that direction. One is the resumption of postal tele- graphic and air mail communi- cations between Israel and Eng- land. Another is the expected arrival of an Israeli trade delegation in London, at the invitation of the British food ministry to nego- tiate for a part of Israel's crop. If a deal is reached, the ques- tion of Israel's Sterling balance which was frozen by the Bank of England, will be reconsidered favorably for Israel. PLAN TAX ON JEWS The Arab states are about to propose a tax on all Jewish property in Arab lands as a con- venient way of paying for the support of the hundreds of thousands of Arab refugees who . have left Israel and are now homeless. Egypt has already pro- posed that property of interned "Zionists" will pay for air dam- age to Cairo. The Council of Jewish Federa- tions and Welfare funds issued a preliminary annual report which indicated that inflation in the USA has raised the needs for Jewish charities, and that while employment levels re- mained constant, "the high cost of living soared, affecting both the agencies and those they served." The council is one of the most important Jewish institutions, al- though it is little known to the public. It collects and allocates budgets for all Jewish charities and welfare funds in the coun- try. It will publish its complete annual report shortly. CANADA SAVES DAY The Syrian proposal before the security council that the status of Israel be determined before the international court of Jus- tice was rejected by a danger- ously close margin. Six nations, Syria, Belgium, China, Colum- bia, Britain and Argentine voted in favor of the resolution. Canada, which never before opposed Great Britain on the Palestine problem, saved the day by declaring the proposal a detriment to current peace nego- tiations, and a direct negation of the UN plan of mediation. The Ukraine, by way of demonstra- tion, voted against the proposal, and the other states abstained.
