WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Terming the resolution for a commis-
sion to rescue the Jews of Europe "inadequate," Dr. Stephen S.
Wise. this week called for an amendment to keep open the doors
of Palestine as the "simplest way of helping the, of Europe."
He told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that he was not dis-
cussing the establishment of a Jewish - commonwealth, bill that
the. failure to mention Palestine as a haven-meant that he reso-
luion did not "touch the heart of the problem."
He charged that the Emergency, Committee to Save the Jews
of Europe has been using newspaper advertisements to misrepre-
sent. the bill as a proposal to open Palestine to immigration.
Asked by Rep. Charles A. Eaton, (R) of N. J., about the "pro-
priety of a committee of the 'House 'serving notice on the British
Parliament as to what action they should take," Dr. Wise said that
`inorally and spiritually" the U. S. shared Britain's mandate over
Palestine. "We can suggest that the doors of Palestine be kept
open .because we are friends," he said.
Rep. James W. Wadsworth .(R). of - N. Y., disclo'Sed that the
Foreign Affairs Committee last week 'heard four - hours of testi-
mony .on, the efforts of the State Department and the..Intergovern-
mental Committee on Refugees to. help European Jews.
' Rep. Will RogerS Jr., (D) of Calif., Who with Rep. Joseph Clark
Baldwin, (R) of N. Y., introduced the resolution in the House,
called the support of the American Jewish Conference "one of
the most hopeful things that has happened," but said he doubted
the "wisdom of injecting the ancient and acrimonious issue of
Palestine into' a specific resolution designed for rescue."
Lewis G. Hines of the AFL and Kermit Eby, representative of
Phillip Murray, president of the CIO, asked favorable consideration
of the resolution. Further hearings will be held next week.
Senator Guy M. Gillette, Iowa Dem., who introduced a similar
bill in the' Senate, said he expected the Committee to consider
resolution at its next meeting.

,pointed out that since Pearl Hai-,
bor, the JDC has enabled 12,000
to emigrate to the Western Hem-
isPhere and Palestine. In recent
'months the JDC has been aiding
large groupS of Jews who had
escaped to Turkey and to Aden,
to .go to Palestine. •
, , Miss Laura Margolis, the Only
woman in the JDC's — overseas
service, said that "the JDC and
the organization it set up in
