Pogroms of Annihilation
Pan-Arab Federation

LONDON, (JTA)—Members of the jewish . Agency here
this week refused to comment on the announcement in the
Egyptian Senate that the government of Egypt is calling a
conference in Cairo of Arab leaders from Palestine, Syria
and other Arab countries to discuss the formation of a Pan-
Arab Federation.
At the same time it was learned here: this week that Sir
Iarold MacMichael, high commissioner of Palestine, has
indicated in Palestine that the British White Paper, under
which Jewish immigration into Palestine must be stopped
next Spring, is "the l i st word" in British policy with regard.
Ito Palestine. The White Paper also is supported by the
former Palestine high commissioner, Sir Arthur Wauchope,
in a book published this week under the title "Islam Today."
The views expressed by Sir Arthur are criticized by
Zionist leaders here. An article in the current issue of the
Zionist Review also takes issue with the former high com-
missioner for , his advice to the Jews to accept the White
Paper "becaUse its policy constitutes no danger for the legi-
timate aspirations of true Zionists."

Churchill Says White Paper Will Be Maintained

LONDON, (JTA)-1-Prime Minister ChUrchill, reviewing
the position of the Jewish and non-Jewish refugees admitted
into Britain and Palestine since the outbreak of the war,
emphasized this week that "the resources of Britain are
strained to the utmost to maintain the traditions of asylum
and hospitality," and announced that the British government
will not admit into Palestine more Jews than provided for
under the White Paper.
"We are prepared to continue to admit Jewish children,
accompanied by adults, to the limit permitted for the fiVe-
year period ending March 1944," Churchill said in the House
of Commons. "This would be approximately 29,000 persons." .
He estimated that approximately 150;000 Jewish and non-
Jewish refugees have entered the United Kingdom since the
outbreak of the war: The government, • he said, spent five
million dollars on refugees from October, 1939 until December,
1942.

Conference Will Be Economic, Arab Organ Says

JERUSALEM, (JTA)—The conference of Arab leaders
from Palestine, Syria and other countries which has been con-
voked by the Egyptian government in Cairo will not discuss
any plans for political amalgamation, but will limit itself to
economic questions only, it is reported this week in the Fal-
astin, leading. Arab newspaper in Palestine.
Brig.-Gen. Patrick Hurley, on a special mission in the
Middle East as President Roosevelt's personal -envoy, last
week conferred with Jewish and Arab leaders separately on
the question of Arab-Jewish relations. His conference with
David Ben-Gurion, chairman of the executive of the Jewish
Agency, lasted for two hours.

LONDON, (J TA)—Thousands
of Jews in the Cracow ghetto
were slaughtered and other thou-
sands were deported to the dread
concentration camp at Oswiecim
during March 13-15 in what is
described as "one of the worst
pogroms of the Nazi annihilation
campaign," according to reliable
information reaching Polish gov-
ernment circles here this week.
While the exact number of Jews
that remained in Cracow before
this latest massacre is not known,
reports reaching neutral countries
early in March stated that about
5,000 were confined in the ghetto
there.
Indirect confirmation of this
week's report was given by the
renegade American broadcaster
Paul Revere over the Berlin ra-
dio on April 2 during an account
of a visit he had just made to
Cracow. "Not a single Jew re-
mains in the city," Revere said.
While the Gestapo raided the
ghetto in the Podgorze quarter
of the city, other Nazi squads
herded large groups of Jews into
cattle trucks, the report says.
These- trucks, described as "death
wagons," transported the victims
to the Oswiecim camp, which,
Polish circles here state, recently
has been eauipped with special
facilities for mass executions.
5,000 Greek Jews
Shipped to Poland
LONDON, (JTA)—A transport

basis of underground information
reaching here. .
This is • the . first transport of

OCEANSIDE, L. I. (JPS)—The
rescinding of the "privileged
citizenship" of Count Rene de
Chambrun, son-in-law- of_ Pierre
Laval, was urged upon Congress
by the executive: committee' of
the Walt Whitman Society: here.

Chambrun is "one of the leading
executives in Vichy;" that he
was "the chief instigator of the
pending movement to expel a
percentage of the Jews in France
and responsible for the establish-
ment, now under way, of 'Nazi-7
ized ghettos." " He is an American
citizen by special act of Congress,
by virtue of being a direct male
descendant of the Marquis de
