Israeli Tanks Show Might

ed Britain of shipping arms to
Arab nations at 13 different
times in violation of the UN ban
on such shipments.
The same day newspaper
headlines reported that Britain
was being accused of selling
American lend-lease tanks to
Argentina's Peron, Israel charg-
ed Britain with sending surplus
American war materials to the
armies of Israel's enemies while
fighting was going on.

ADMISSION DELAYED
In Paris, the General Assem-
bly of the UN adjourned with-
out having been given an op-
portunity to vote on Israel's ap-
plication for admission. The
Security Council, however, was
studying the application and
there was a good chance of ap-
proval with Canada believed
holding the key to whether Is
rael could muster the seven
votes needed.
Israel's readiness to begin di-
rect peace negotiations with the
Arab states was expressed by
an Israeli spokesman following
the General Assembly's approval
of the Big-Power decision to ap-
point a three-nation Palestine
Conciliation commission consist-
ing of the United States, France
and Turkey.
SATISFYING TO ISRAEL
The Assembly's resolution,
which contained no reference to
the Bernadotte plan, was hailed
as satisfactory by Israeli repre-
sentatives. Tho conciliation com-
mission, replacing UN Media-
tor Ralph Bunche, will begin to
function as soon as the three
nations appoint their represanta-
fives.
In the meantime, there were
unconfirmed reports of direct
negotiations between Israel and
Transjordan. However, accord-
ing to a Tel Aviv report, the
Israeli government may insist
that Transjordan has no direct
interest in the issue since the
original partition decision pro-
vided for the dividing of Pales-
tine into two separate states, a
Jewish State and a Palestine
Arab state. '
It is believed, however, that
the omission of reference to the
Bernadotte *n and the wide
latitude given to the concilia-
tion commission may accelerate
direct talks and lead perhaps to
agreement.

15 Depots
to Take
AJC Gifts

Extraordinary measures to sup-
port the program of mass migra-
tion of Jews from DP camps to
Israel are announced by the
Jewish Welfare Federation which
outlined a plan to make cash
available to the United Jewish
Appeal.
Fifteen emergency collection
depots are being opened to pro-
vide a continuous flow of cash
from Detroit.
The first step in the program
resulted in the immediate dis-
patch of a $575,000 cash remit-
tance made possible by a Federa-
tion bank loan.
2 1 :2 MILLION TOTAL
The remittance brings the to-
tal of payments to the United
Jewish Appeal to $2,500,000 on
the $4,000,000 allocated from the
1948 Allied Jewish Campaign.
In a joint statement Julian H.
Krolik, president, and Maurice
Aronsson, 1948 campaign chair-
man, appealed to contributors to
pay part or all of their pledges
to the Allied Jewish Campaign
as soon as possible.
"Unless more dollars are forth-
coming immediately," they said,
"immigration to Israel must be
curtailed, inflicting a tragic blow
on Displaced Persons and on the
Jewish State."
The junior division, under the
chairmanship of Lawrence A.
Fleischman, has developed a
program for all divisions to take
place on Sunday. Members of the
Junior Service Group will staff
15 conveniently located depots
throughout the community where
contributors will be able to bring
their payments.

Plans for strengthening the
working relationship between
Bnai Brith and the Jewish Wel-
fare Federation were made pub-
lic following a meeting of a joint
committee representing the Fed-
eration and the Greater Detroit
Bnai Brith Council.
The meeting was an attempt to
conciliate charges by the Bnai
Brith that Federation executives
crippled the Bnai Brith Aid to
Israel drive. According to one
source, the charges were not de-
bated.

AWAIT JWF REPLY
In the meantime, a second De-

troit organization, the Hebrew
Hospital Association, was waiting
for an answer to its threat to sue
the Federation for its failure to
pay up interest monks coming to
it on an agreement with the Fe‘;
