Palestine's Future May be
Discussed at Quebec Meeting

Experts Believe Russia May Admit Large Number of Jews
After the War; Intergovernmental Committee
Asked to Modify Program

WASHINGTON, (JTA)—The whole question of Palestine's fu-
ture may be undergoing a thorough discussion at the meeting of
United Nations statesmen at Quebec this week, according to well-
informed observers here.
The successful completion of the Sicilian campaign, setting the
seal of Anglo-American power in the Mediterranean, gives a new
occasion for the discussion of Middle Eastern political problems at
Quebec, it is believed here. Recent reports of an imminent Anglo-
American statement unfavorable to the Zionist cause now seem to
have been at least premature. Such a statement is known to have
been drafted and made ready for publication. Indeed, semi-official
circles here believed three weeks ago that its publication would
come at any moment. The statement now appears to have been in-
definitely postponed, if not altogether suspended.

Committee for Refugees Asked to Modify Program
NEW YORK, (JTA)—Welcoming the increased activity of the
Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees, the Emergency Com-
mittee to Save the Jewish People of Europe issued a statement
pointing out that the Intergovernmental Committee is once again
"falling into the- mistake of grouping together the general refugee
problem with the specifically Jewish issue."
Russia May Admit Large Number of Jews
The possibility that Russia may admit, after the war, a large
number of Jews from devastated Europe is suggested by the For-
eign Policy Association in an analysis of the prospects of post-war
Europe re-settlement.
It is pointed out in the analysis that with regard to the Jewish
tragedy in Europe, "public feeling in the United States appears to
have been less strongly stirred than in Britain," and little hope is
held out that the United States immigration rules will be liberal-
ized in the near future. It - will be necessary to transplant large
populations after the war, not only for humanitarian reasons, but to
achieve economic stability, the Foreign Policy Association con-
cludes.

H. J. Weinraub, who is stationed some-
where in North Africa.
The enactment by the California Legis-
lature and approval by Governor Warren
of a bill permitting the release of children
from school for religious education was
branded as calculated to have "disastrous
effect" by Edgar C. Levey, former Speaker
of the California Assembly and active
Jewish communal figure of San Francisco.
A declaration by the representatives in
America of the Polish Bund denouncing
the Jewish Labor Committee for joining
the American Jewish Conference and
asserting that the underground movement
in Poland is opposed to Zionism was chal-
lenged in a statement issued by the Rep-
resentation of Polish Jews in New York,
PALESTINE
Emil Schmorak, head of the Trade
and • Industry department of the Jewish
Agency for Palestine, has gone to Turkey
in order to attend the fair at Smyrna.
The fourth Guggenheimer-Hadassah
playground for Jerusalem was opened re-
cently as an additional facility for the poor
children of Jerusalem who have no guard-
ed open spaces in which to play. It was the
31st playground established in Palestine
by the Hadassah Council.
The completion of the roll of electors
entitled to vote in the forthcoming elec-
tions of the Assephath Hanivcharim (Rep-
resentative Assembly) reveals that the
number of adults in the Yishuv entitled to
select representatives of the Jewish com-
munity has reached the record figure of
320,000.

The Agudath Israel Youth Council has
announced that it requested the War De-
partment to allow Orthodox Jews serving
in the armed forces to observe Saturday
as their Sabbath and that Major General
J. A. Ulio, the Adjutant General, replied
that "the War Department policy is to
afford men who celebrate the Sabbath on
a day other than Sunday an opportunity
to observe the requirements of their re-
ligious principles, to the maximum extent
possible when military considerations per-
mit."
To private Morris Zuckerman, 24-year-
old, 6 feet one, N. Y. City College graduate
who entered the United States Army in
June, 1941 goes the honor of having been
among the 155-mm. rifle crew which
lobbed the first shells into the mainland
of Italy from Messina.
Dr. Karl Soilner, driven from Germany
when Hitler came to power, has made a
notable contribution to the war against
Hitler through the perfection of a device,
together with Dr. Maurice Visscher, that
can convert ocean into fresh water. Head
of the physiological chemistry department
at the University of Minnesota, Prof. Soll-
ner had already turned over to the Army
the simple invention, consisting of a pint-
size flat copper boiler which utilizes body
heat for its operation.
An appeal to have the Army do some-
thing about the continuous German anti-
Semitic broadcasts heard by the American
soldiers in North Africa is contained in a
letter sent to the New York Post by Sgt.
