Palestine Paper Claims Hero
Demanding Younger Jews
Oust Bolsheviks

The newspaper reports that
Gen. Kreisler charged that these
Old Bolsheviks, known as "Ye-
vsektzia," or Jewish section of
the Communist Party, are now in
control of the Jewish Anti-Fascist
Committee at Kuibyshev and
must be removed and replaced
by younger men in order to make
the bond between Soviet Jewry
and world Jewry effective.
The Haboker claims that these
facts are culled from a report re-
ceived by the Victory League in
Palestine, which conducts the
Aid-to-Russia movement among
the Yishuv. - "The younger gen-
eration of Jewish leadership in
Russia," states the newspaper,
"demands a definitive national
Jewish line and combats those
now heading the- Committee. This
younger generation attacks
sharply those Yevsek (old Jewish
Bolsheviki) leaders who for years
were at loggerheads with world
Jewry.

"Leader of the opposition is
Gen. Jacob Kreisler, one of the
most gifted younger Soviet gen-
erals, recipient of numerous
awards and the Lenin Order.
Gen. Kreisler charges the Com-
mittee with failure to establish
real contacts with world
Jewry and demands that he
be placed at the head of the
Committee and be given an op-
portunity to establish strong
bonds with World Jewry. It is
because of this fight within the
Committee that a SoViet Jewish
delegation has as yet not been
sent to Palestine."

Committee Can't Deal With Germany on Refugees
LONDON, (JTA)-Patrick Malin, American vice-director of
the Intergovernmental Committee on Refugees, this week told the
Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the Committee is not empowered
to initiate any direct dealings with Germany on rescuing Jews from
German-held territory.
Mr. Malin took issue with the interpretation given in Wash,
ington by Assistant Secretary of State Long to the expanded man-
date of the Intergovernmental Committee. He denied that this man-
date can be interpreted to mean, as Mr. Long said, that the Inter-
governmental Committee has been given the authority to do what-
ever it can "within and without Germany and the occupied terri-
tories."
In emphasi2ing that the Intergovernmental Committee cannot
engage in direct negotiations with Germany, Mr. Malin declared
that this does not preclude all possibility of "approaching Germany
through a neutral intermediary."

Bolivian Envoy In
U.S. Demands Clarity
On Jews' Position

WASHINGTON (JPS) - With
United States officials waiting for
definite moves from the new Bo-
livian Government, which would
indicate the degree of sincerity of
its reiteration of Bolivia's com-
mitments to the United Nations,
that country's representative to
Washington, Dr. Enrique de Laza-
da, issued an ultimatum to the
heads of the new government that
he would resign his position un-
less they disavowed their anti-
Semitism.

NEW YORK (JPS)-The long
lasting isolation of Soviet Jewry
from Jewish communities in oth-
er countries was blamed by Red
Army hero, Gen. Jacob Kreisler,
on the Old Bolsheviks who
shaped Soviet Jewish policies, it
is reported by the Palestine He-
brew daily, Haboker, copies of
which have just arrived here.

Edward A. Grause, 20, war
worker and a member of Queens

convention by mail held by the

tion in the country.

Says Only WO Jews
Survive in Ukraine

NEW YORK (JPS)-Not more
than one hundred Jews of the
Unkraine now survive out of an
estimated pre-war Jewish popula-

Ilya Ehrenburg states in an ar-
ticle in the magazine section of
the New York Times. A great part
of Ukrainian Jewry was evacu-
ated when the Red Army with-

JERUSALEM (JTA)-Resentment is felt by the Jewish -popula-
tion in Palestine at the sentences given seven Jewish settlers of
Hulda who were charged with illegal possesSion of arms. They were
sentenced to terms varying from tWo. to six years in prison.
Jacob Galata and Moshe HasS; who pleaded guilty at the opening
of the trial, announced through their lawyer that they did not intend
to take advantage of the offer made by the president of the court,
that they would be given milder sentences if they agreed to disclose
the source from which they obtained the confiscated arms. They
were sentenced to six and five years imprisonment, respectively.
Others sentenced were Israel Birnbaum, chairman of the Hulda
settlement, five years; Nathan Spiver, three years: Joseph Steinhaus,
Abraham Cohen and Abraham Rottenberg, two years. The sentences
are subject to approval by the General Officer in Command in
Palestine.

No Protection for Jewish Settlers, Hulda Colonist Charges
NEW YORK (JTA)-The charge that the Palestine government
did little to protect the colonists in Hulda, seven settlers of which
were sentenced to jail for illegal possession of arms, was made here
by Mala Gitlin, member of the Hulda settlement now in the U. S.
as an advisor to the Labor Zionist Youth organization.
Miss Gitlin described in detail the frequent Arab attacks on
Hulda which resulted in the killing of 17 Jews from 1936 to 1940.
About half of the 250 settlers in Hulda are aged people and children,
she stated, adding that while Jews are being convicted for illegal
possession of arms, the Arabs in Palestine have received huge sup-
plies of munitions from Syrian Arabs who were given the arms by
General Henri Dentz, who commanded Vichy troops in Syria, when
his troops were forced to capitulate.
