tort's Simplicity
Wins Admiration
of Palestine Jews

Wounded, Captured
AZA Man Returns

NEW YORK—Among the 10
Jewish chaplains who arrived re-
cently in Paris to be assigned to
front-line posts was a rabbi for
whom crossing the Rhine will
not be a new experience. He
is Chaplain W. Gunther Plaut,
a refugee from Germany.
Ordained in Germany before
the rise of Hitler, Lt. Plaut was
compelled to flee his birthplace,
Muenster, and in 1938 he arrived
in the U. S. Assisted by the Na-
tional Refugee Service, he suc-
ceeded in establishing himself as
a rabbi in a Chicago synagogue.
Turning again to the Migration
Department of the National Re-
fugee Service, a beneficiary of
the United Jewish Appeal, he
asked for assistance in bringing
his parents from Europe to Cin-
cinatti where his wife, an -Amer-
ican woman, would meet them.

High Commissioner's
Democratic Ways End
British Tradition

New

JERUSALEM, (JT.A) — Al-
though Viscount • Gort; new
British High Commissioner, has
been in ?alestine for less than a
month, he has succeeded in win-
ning the admiration of the entire
Jewish population because of his
Simplicity, democratic manners
and frankness.
Despite the terroristic out-
breaks which recently have tak-
en place in Palestine. High
Commissioner Gort walks around
the city sight-seeing without any
escort. He broke a British tradi-
tion this week by being the first
High Commissioner to receive
representatives of the Palestine
and foreign press.
The new High Commissioner
displayed remarkable knowledge
concerning conditions of the
press and its needs: Since his
arrival he has received repre-
sentatives not only of the Jewish
Agency, but also of the Agudas
Israel, the New Zionist Organiza-
tion and other Jewish groups.
Among those received this week
were David Ben-Gurion and
Moshe Shertok, leading members
of the Jewish Agency executive.

Gort Praises Mayors
of Haifa and Cafed
Haifa (JPS-Palcor)—On his
first visit to Haifa, Viscount Gort
said that when in London he had
heard much about the ability of
Shabattai Levi, the city's mayor,
and about the harmony existing
among all the communities with-
in his municipal administration.
Haifa, he said, gave the impres-
sion of a city with a great future.
Gort also visited Tiberias and
Safed, meeting the Mayor and
Councillors. In Tiberias, reply-
ing to a speech of welcome - by
Jewish Mayor Dehan, the High
Commissioner stated that it was
his purpose `‘TO bring peace and
happiness to 211 inha )itants."

Russia Transferring
Jews to Asiatic USSR

War Bond

JERUSALEM, (JTA) — All
Hebrew papers here report that
Russian authorities in liberated
Poland, Bessarabia and Bukov-
ina have started transferring
hundreds of people to remote
places in the Asiatic parts of the
USSR, especially to Northern
Siberia.
The transfer is not aimed at
any special section of the popula-
tion, but is especially hard on
the exhausted and impoverished
Jews who are unable to with-
stand the hardships of travel,
the reports indicate. One report
says that several hundred Jews
have already been removed from
Czernovitz, capital of Bukovina,
to the Ural mountains.
