Hospital BodyAsksAttorney
to Sue Federation on Bonds

The Hebrew Hospital Associa-
tion has engaged an attorney
with instructions to bring suit
against the Jewish Welfare Fed-
eration, Saul Katz, president,
said.
The suit will be based on the
Federation's alleged failure to
pay interest due the hospital
group on bonds held by the JWF
in trust, Katz explained. He re-
ported that he was notified by
Isidore • Sobeloff, executive di-
rector of the JWF, that the wel-
fare body does not intend to
continue paying. the interest.
Katz reported that this action by
Sobeloff has cost the organization
$100 in interest payments.
Until recently, the hospital as-
sociation turned over the interest
income to the North End Clinic.

"At this time of the year, when
the entire world is seeking to
give proper expression to the
spirit of brotherhood," the for-
mer Secretary of the Treasury
cabled to the British prime min-
ister, "I address this earnest ap-
peal to you to let my people go."
In his cable to Churchill, Mor-
genthau urged the former prime
minister to intervene with his
government to bring about the
immediate release of the refu-
gees. "The world cannot forget
these helpless people without

Young Israel Urges Support
of Community for Its Center

The entire community will be
asked to contribute to the build-
ing of the Young Israel Youth
Center at Dexter and Fullerton.
A citywide campaign to can-
vass the community is being
planned.
The center will serve the needs
of all the youth in the Dexter
section. It will have facilities for
arts and crafts, recreational and
athletic activities, club rooms, a
library and accommodations for
social functions.
The center is vitally needed
in the Dexter neighborhood,
and Young Israel believes it is
therefore incumbent upon all the
members of the local community
to support such a project.
At 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 1,
Young Israel will hold its an-

nual Chanukah Youth Party at
Congregation Bnai Moshe.
The theme of the evening is
"Rebirth of the Land." All young
people are invited.

sary seven votes in favor of
admission.
Althmigh only one nation,.
Syria, at war with Israel, voted
against admission, the proponents
of the admission motion wose
able to muster only five affirma-
tive votes, with five nations ab-

staining.

The United States, Soviet Rus-
sia, the Ukraine, Argentina and
Colombia voted for the applica-
tion. Firitain, Canada, France,
Belgium and China abstained.
Canada's abstaining was a sur-
prise because there had been
earlier indications that that
country would vote affirmative-
ly. There had also been some
hope that France would align
itself, with the admission pro-
ponents.

AWAITS CONCILIATION

Before the vote was taken on
the membership application, the
French delegate, Alexandre Pa-
rode, asked a month's postpone-
ment. When the motion was de-
feated it seemed for a moment
as if France would support Is-
rael's membership application.
The French delegate said his
country was looking forward to
the day when Israel would be ad-
mitted to the United Nations,
but that he deemed action inad-
visable at this time because of
bitter Arab opposition. He said
he was of the opinion that the
matter should be delayed until
the Palestine Conciliation Com-
mission reports some progress.

many observers here, may lead
to serious repercussions.
In New York, Dr. Ralph J.

that the war in Palestine was

He made the statement on his

clared that the Jewish State was
firmly established, and that while
local incidents were expected to
occur, he was not inclined to re-
gard them too seriously when
they break out. He said he fore-
saw "a very great future for the
country, one in which there will
be friendly relations between the
State of Israel and neighboring
Arab states'"
