Branding the Jewish Welfare
Federation report on its activi-
ties as a "vicious slander," Jack
M. Nevel, president of the Detroit
League of the Red Mogen Dovid,
charged that the Federation move
was prompted by its undercover
campaign to discredit all organi-
zations in Detroit seeking funds
without first obtaining the "ap-
proval" of the Federation.
The statements of the Fede•a-
tion, he said, "were published
without prior consultation with
the Detroit League at a time
when our organization was in
correspondence with the Federa-
tion concerning its activities in
this city."
THIRD IN 2 WEEKS
The Red Mogen Dovid, which
supplies blood plasma and am-
bulances to the fighting men of
Israel, is the third agency in
the past two weeks to accuse
the Federation of malice in
publishing statements prejudic-
ing their activities in Detroit.
The others are tne lireater De-
troit Bnai Brith Council, which
is sponsoring the Aid to Israel
campaign, and the Los Angeles
Sanatorium, • which is seeking
$150,000 on behalf of the hospi-
tal's building program.
The Federation statement on
the Red Mogen Dovid is "so
slanted as to discredit and nulli-
fy the work of the organization
UN. This was the firmest action
taken so far by the Council in
an effort to promote an end to
the Palestine war.
Israeli spokesmen welcomed
the order because they had long
been urging direct talks with
their foes. There was no sign,
however, from the Arabs that
they intended to negotiate with
Israel.
WON'T QUIT NEGEV
Earlier, Moshe Shertok, Israeli
foreign minister, speaking before
the political committee of the As-
sembly, rejected the Bernadotte
plan as a basis for discussions.
He demanded the entire Negev,
including a port on the Gulf of
Aqaba as part of the Jewish
State as well as all of Galilee
and the Jewish half of Jerusa-
lem, which he said, should be
linked to Israel by a corridor.
At the same time he expressed
the hope that Israel's applica-
tion for UN membership would
be supported when officially sub-
mitted.
FACE SANCTIONS
In the meantime, both Israeli
and Egyptian troops are under
an order by Dr. Ralph Bunche,
acting mediator, to withdraw
their lines in the Negev to the
Oct. 14 positions by this Fri-
day. Israel did not mince any
words in rejecting the directive
as "a shameful document."
The Israeli rejection is expect-
ed to bring the Security Council
face to face with the choice be-
tween sanctions against Israel or
an order for direct peace ne-
gotiations between the contend-
.
ing parties.
Israel looks to the U. S. to
block any punitive action against
Israel and to throw its weight
in favor of direct talks.
Dr. Ben Zvi asserted that pop-
ular sentiment in Israel was
strong against yielding on the
Negev issue, and that under no
circumstances would the Israeli
government agree to the demili-

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. — Ha-
dassah unanimously reelected
Mrs. Rose Halprin, of New York
as national president and ap-
proved budgets totaling $0,535,-
000.
This sum includes a last-min-
ute increase of $600,000 over the
figure of $5,935,000 originally re-
commended by the national
board.
The increase came as a result
of demands by the 5,000 dele-
gates that $500,000 be added to
the national quota to make possi-
ble the opening of the first under-
graduate medical school for Is-
rael in Jerusalem, by May 15,
1949, and $100,000 be added for
youth refugee work conducted
under the aegis of the Youth Ali-

REHOVOTH (WNS)—The war
in Palestine is virtually at an
end because of the Israeli mili-
tary victories, Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann, provisional president of
Israel, declared.
Once lasting peace comes, Is-
rael will try to establish close
friendship with Asiatic nations,
particularly India, he said. Is-
rael can serve as an experi-
mental station for solution of
the great problems facing the
Asiatic continent, asserted the
Israeli president.
