Zionist .Emergency CoMmittee Condemns Motives Which
Cast. Slurs On Jews Whose Chief Goal Is to Help
in • Winning the War

The American Emergency Committee for Zionist Affairs,
under the chairmanship of Dr. Stephen S. Wise, has issued
a statement criticizing the New -York Times 'for publishing
cables from its correspondent in Cairo, C. L. Sulzberger,
which emphasiied that tension is mounting between Jews
and Arabs in Palestine.

"These articles relate that Jews:
and Arabs are arming in anticipa-
tion of violence, and convey the
impression that. Jewish eagerness
to assist in the_prosecution of the
of the war is motivated by a de-
sire to militarize the Jewish popu-
lation in preparation for the
threatened conflict with the
Arabs," the committee's state- Former President of U. M.'s

Capt. Allan Stiglitt, -recently
promoted to that rank at a U. S.
Army Air Force base in the
Middle East, is a firm believer
in buying as many War Bonds
as possible in order to have more
bombs to drop on the enemy.
Capt. Stiglitz, whose parents
reside at 2277 Euclid Ave., has
been in the service two years
this month, having enlisted in
the Army Air Corps upon grad-
uation from the University of
Arizona.

After his basic training in Den-
ver, he received his commission
and was transferred to Seattle,
then to Louisiana. Just before
leaving for overseas, Capt. Stig-
litz was promoted to the rank of
first lieutenant.

Pvt. Jesse A. Craft, 23, son of
Mrs: Anna' Craft of Benton 'Her-
bor, has been- -killed in action
during the North. African cam-
paign, the Bureau of War Rec-
ords of the Jewish Welfare
Board announced' this week.
Pvt. Craft gave his life when
the American forces broke
through Rommel's barrage. In
a letter to his mother, -shortly
before his death, he wrote that
he was fighting to "win the
war, so that I can come home
to my five brothers and sisters
and to you."
Two of his surviving brothers
are in uniform—Cpl. Edward
Craft at Fort Lewis, Wash.,
and Pvt. Robert Craft, of the
