'Jerusalem Blitz Beats London's 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- Julius Deutelbaum, four-term tarization of the Negev, as pro- president of Pisgah Lodge, was posed by UN Mediator Bunche. unanimously chosen executive secretary of the Greater Detroit BOON TO EGYPTIANS Consent to the proposal, he Bnai .Brith Council.

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- yali (immigration) movement of which Hadassah is the American representative. Wcizmann Foresees Israeli, Asiatic Ties 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.
