(Continued from Page 11)
William S. Bennett, former as-
sistant attorney general of the
U. S., the following proposals
were made:
1. To approach the Axis satel-
lites—Bulgaria, Hungary, Ruma-
nia, and Vichy France—to grant
their Jewish inhabitants the same
treatment accorded to other in-
habitants, including equal food
rations, equal access to medical
resources and freedom from de-
portation; as well as to permit
the Jews who wish or who are
able to do so, to leave their coun-
try.
Temporary Asylum
2. To request the neutral coun-
tries bordering on the Axis—Tur-
key, Switzerland, Sweden and
Spain—to grant temporary asy-
lum to the Jews who reach their
borders:
3. To ask the neutral govern-
ments to grant transit facilities to
those Jewish refugees who may
be on their way from the Axis-
held territory controlled by the
United Nations.
4. To ask the United Nations,
themselves, to grant temporary
asylum to the Jewish refugees
for the duration of the war in
territories controlled by them.
5. Special attention should be
given to the possibility of refuge
in Palestine because of its prox-
imity to the Axis controlled ter-
ritory and in view of the possi-
bility of reaching Palestine with-
out using . a considerable amount
of shipping space. ,
6. These negotiations with the
satellites should be carried out
through the intermediary of the
Red Cross or the Vatican or the
neutral countries.
7. The United States to carry
out this rescue work, to create a
special agency entrusted with the
execution of this action.
Food Problem
. The Panel on Relief and Trans-
portation heard a report by Mr.
Perrin Galpin, of Food for Small
Democracies, who declared that
most of the 4,000,000 surviving
Jews in Germany and the Axis-
occupied countries can be kept
from. starving With the help of
organized international r elle f
agencies.
The group of experts investi•
gating transportation facilities
stated that there are sufficient
neutral ships to rescue European
Jews without interfering in any
way with the war effort. • " -
At an open session of the Panel
on Religion Bishop Henry St.
George Tucker, president of . the
Federal .Council of Churches of
Christ in America, expressed the
sympathy of the Council with the
aims of the Emergency Confer-
ence and declared that the Coun-
cil was ready to co-operate. in . de-
vising means by which relief
could be offered to the persecuted
Jews of Europe.
At the opening session of the
Conference,. a telegram from Sec-
retary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau, was read to the audience of
approximately 1,500 people. En-
dorsing the Conference, he ex-
pressed his hope that it would
result in speedy action to stop
"this needless slaughter."
Can Save Thousands
Admiral Stirling, stressing the
need for immediate action, as-
serted that "for every thousand
Jews we save from the Nazi satel-
lite countries, 500,000 may be
saved from death in the rest of
Nazi-held Europe."
"There remains the questions
of transportation and possible ha-
vens of refuge. One answer . is

Elmer G. Rice, Detroit attor-
ney, candidate -for mayor, in a
statement issued this week at-
tacked as impractical and un-
workable Mayor Jeffries' propo-
sal for the imposition of an: in-
come tax on the people of De-
troit.
Mr. Rice charges that. high De-
troit taxes already have driven
many Detroiters to settle in
nearby cities.
In his statement, Mr: Rice also
refers to the attempt to acquire
an airport in Macomb County as
"ill-advised."
