IF YOU DROPPED in at any
major Jewish social function at
the University of Michigan,
chances are you would see at
least one Jew-
ish athlete
among the
throng.
This is an-
other way of
sa ying that
Jewish athletes
are very much
a part of Jew-
ish life on the
campus.
AS PART OF ITS program to
bring comfort to convalescing
servicemen, the Roy F. Green
Post last week donated 10 new

Stars for Iowa
By WILLIAM ZUKERMAN
(Jewish World News Service)
NEW YORK — The United
States has clarified its position
on Israel at the United Nations
and did it in a manner that
confirmed all the promises made
by the President and the ad-.
ministration before the election,
although this has necessitated a
near-breach on policy with a
principal ally.
Under the influence of the
United States, other nations,
particularly Canada and Au-
stralia, also came out in favor
of a new and more liberal policy
for Israel. The general trend in
the UN, after nearly two months
of uncertainty, is now stronger
and more hopeful than it has
been since the historic resolu-
tion of exactly a year ago.
2 Star for Iowa
AT ANOTHER Big Nine insti-
tution, the University of Iowa,
two Jewish boys are expected to
develop into standouts on the
gridiron.
Jerry Faske (picture elsewhere
on this page), entered Iowa two
years ago after compiling a bril-
liant prep record at Boys High
School in Brooklyn.
He was the leading Greater
New York scorer as a high school
senior in 1946, rolling up 102
points.
Acclaimed throughout N e w
York as its leading scholastic
back, Jerry was selected on
Hearst newspapers' All-Ameri-
can prep eleven.
NO LOSS OF LAND

Impressive Runner
JERRY FASKE, one of the best
prep halfbacks ever developed
in Greater New York, has two
more years of competition at
the University of Iowa. The
Hawkeyes expect big things of
him. (See "Our Athletes," col-
umn 1).

Ginsberg Returns
THE OTHER Iowa gridder is
Lou Ginsberg, 21-year-old junior
in the college of commerce.
Lou, a guard, broke into the
starting lineup at mid-season and
was particularly outstanding as a
line-backer on defense. He stands
5 feet 11 inches and weighs 190
pounds.
Although he did not play last
season, Ginsberg was a regular
guard in seven games of the 1945
campaign before spending 18
months in die army".
Upon graduation, he plans to
enter the jewelry business with
his father, Isadore Ginsberg, in
Cedar Rapids, Ia.
Zukerman Says:
U. S. Keeps Pledge;
UPA Split Averted
• • •
IN HIS FIRST yedr of colleg-
iate play, Faske made a com-
mendable record. 11e led Hawk-
eye ball carriers in the rushing
department with 290 yards, and
his 4.1 yard average ranked
fourth.
Built on the short and square
side, Jerry is 5 feet 8 inches,
weighs 185 pounds and is 19 years
old.
He was unable to operate at
top performance last season be-
cause of minor leg and shoulder
injuries.
J W V
The position of the United
States, Canada and Australia at
the present moment is in rough
torial cuts are to be made with-
terms as follows: First, no terri-
out the consent of Israel. Sec-
ond, all efforts of the UN are
to be bent in the direction of
direct peace negotiations be-
tween Israel and the Arab
states.
Third, the basis of the nego-
tiations is to be the partition
plan of Nov., 1947, which in-
cluded the whole of the Negev
in the State of Israel. Fourth, if
Israel desires to make any ter-
ritorial changes because of its
military occupation in the Gali-
lee, it may do so by offering to
exchange territory in the Negev
for that of Galilee. .
Fifth, Israel is to be admitted
as a member of the UN. Sixth,
the office of the mediator is to
be abolished and a UN concilia-
tion committee is to be created
to facilitate peace negotiations.
NEAR RECOGNITION
. That this latest proposal of
AUBREY EBAN, Israeli rep-
resentative to the UN, speaks
in Paris at the recent world-
wide conference on Jewish rt-
lief and rehabilitation, spons-
ored by the Joint Distribution
Committee. Delegates from 31
nations attended.
the UN under the leadership of
the U. S. is the best and nearest
approach to a settlement in
Palestine, no one but fanatics
will deny.
For the first time in a year
of bitter debates and fighting,
Israel is nearest to complete
recognition as a state by the
entire UN.
Israel's territory remains in-
tact and its political, military and
moral position is stronger than
anyone ever dreamed of as pos-
sible a year ago when the UN
issued its paper resolution.
UPA SPLIT AVOIDED
The split which was threaten-
ing the United Palestine Appeal
by the formation of an independ-
ent fund-raising group of "Con-
tributors and Workers" follow-
ing the resignation of Henry
Montor, has been averted by an
agreement between representa-
tives of the ZOA and of the
dissident group.
The agreement was a com-
promise which could and should
have been reached before the
incident came into the open. It
is based on the following points:
First, the dissident organization
is to be liquidated immediately.
Second, the non-Zionist Jewish
communities and welfare funds
are to be represented in the
UPA to the extent of 40 per-
cent; (instead of 33 percent that
was previously agreed upon).
DANGER AVERTED
Thirdly, the transmission of
funds to Israel is to remain prac-
tically unchanged. Fourth, the
five UPA directors who resigned
in sympathy with Montor are to
be reinstated after consideration
of each case on its merits by a
special mediation committee. Mr.
Montor's reinstatement was not
even discussed, evidently by his
own desire.
The settlement does away with
the serious danger that was
threatening a disunited Ameri-
can Jewry on the eve of one of
its greatest fund raising cam-
paigns in history.
Congress Youth

"Ours Is The Task," a stirring
play on discrimination, will be

entation of an American flag to
Cub Pack 190 at 7:30 p. m., Wed-

court and Hamilton avenue.

Max Osnos Named
JDA Vice-Chairman
NEW YORK—Charles W. Mor-
ris of Louisville, Ky., was re-
elected chairman of the national
council of the Joint Defense Ap-
peal (JDA). Max Osnos of De-.
*Mt was named vice-chairman.
Elected chairman of the coun-
cil's executive committee was
Oliver M. Kaufmann, Pittsburgh
civic leader. He succeeds Donald
Oberdorfer of Atlanta, Ga., who
was named honorary chairman of
the national council. .
The JDA is the fund-raising
arm of the American Jewish
Committee and the Anti-Defama-
tion League of Bnai Brith, two
national agencies devoted to com-
bating anti-Semitism and pro-
moting inter-group harmony.
More than 300 delegates at-
tending the annual parley rec-
ommended a 1949 budget of $6-
826,115.
Urging all Jewish communities
to join in the nationwide drive
against bigotry and discrimina-
tion, the conference described re-
ligious bigotry as a threat not
only to the Jews, but to "the
foundations of freedom and to
the component groups which
constitute our national fabric."
