AMOS BEN-GURION

Zionist chieftian, was one of the
first boys to enlist in the Jewish
units of the British army, it was
revealed here _this week.
Twenty-one-year-old Amos was
born in London and raised in
Palestine. He was active in
Mahnot Olim, the student pi-
oneer youth movement which has
guided hundreds of city-bred
boys and girls to the rural His-
tadrut settlements. When war
broke out, young Ben-Gurion was
among the first to enlist and is
now seeing service somewhere in
the Middle East.
In response to the call of the
Jewish Agency and the Hista-
drut, Jewish enlistments con-
tinue. More than 80 percent of
the recruits are members of the
Palestine Labor Federation, His-
tadrut.

NEW YORK (JPS)—Charges
of "factionalism, vacillation, ab-
sence of centralized administra-
tive direction, failure to adopt a
definite program and inadequate
budgets" were directed at the
American Emergency Committee
for Zionist Affairs in a statement
by Emanuel Neumann announc-
ing his resignation as public rela-
tions director of the body, which
unifies the political activities of
the Zionist Organization of Am-
erica, Hadassah, Poale Zion and
Mizrachi.
Mr. Neumann's resignation,
submitted several months ago,
had not previously been made
public by the Emergency Com-
mittee.
Mr. Neumann's statement
brought into the open the situa-
tion which, according to Zionist
circles, has "made the American
Emergency Committee for Zion-
ist Affairs an impotent instru-
ment for Zionist action from the
very day it was organized."
It was expected that Mr. Neu-
mann's grave charges will pro-
voke a renewal of the internal
difficulties in the Emergency
Committees, known • to have been
spread apart by fundamental
differences as to the best means
of winning American Jewish
support for the upbuilding of the
Jewish National Home.
Insiders familiar -with the op-
erations of the Emergency Com-
mittee said that Mr. Neumann
advocated a policy of strong
espousal of fundamental Zionist
aims, whereas some component
elements of the Emergency Com-
mittee resisted his demands for
forthright exposition of Zionist
claims.

Pro-Fascist Political Party
Planned, Says Anti-Nazi
League Bulletin

A campaign to develop a pro-
fascist political party, based upon
remnants of the "America First"
Committee, is described in the
March issue of the Anti-Nazi Bul-
letin, official publication of the
Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League.
"The campaign to develop a
pro-fascist political party based
upon remnants of the 'America
First' Committee," reads the Bul-
letin story, "received further im-
petus last month when Gerald
L. K. Smith, labor-baiting satel-
lite of the late Huey Long and
Charles E. Coughlin, announced
that he was backing such a move-
ment.
"Smith said that he would set
up a Committee of 1,000 to carry
on the campaign. This is a con-
siderably lower number than the
so-called Committee of 1,000,000
which the Detroit demagogue
used to say he headed."
The formation of an "America
First" party was virtually con-
cluded at a meeting in Detroit
Feb. 7. Gerald L. K. Smith pre-
sided. Both Charles A. Lind-
bergh and Eddie Rickenbacker
were mentioned as candidates for
-
president.
