A drastic revision of American
policy toward Palestine is urged
in a study just issued by the
American Council on Public Af-
fairs in Washington.
Based upon an
historical
analysis of the official position
of the U. S. toward the Jewish
National Home, the study pre-
sents a series of detailed criti-
cisms and recommendations.
The author of the study is Dr.
Carl J. Friedrich, professor of
government at Harvard Univer-
sity and director of Harvard's
School for Overseas Administra-
tion. In 1943 the Council issued a
study of British policy toward
Palestine.
1,600 of Yugoslavia's
70,000 Jews Remain in
Country; 600 With Tito
ROME, (JTA) — Of Yugoslav-
ia's 70,000 Jews only 1,600
remain alive in the country,
according to the latest estimate
of Joint Distribution Committee
representatives working with the
Intergovernmental Committee on
Refugees. Of these, approximate-
ly 600 have joined Marshal Tito's
forces and are fighting the Nazis.
Five thousand Yugoslav Jews
have escaped to Italy, but thus
far only 2,000 have reached
liberated territory. The others
are either in hiding or have been
captured. The great majority of
Yugoslavia's 70,000 Jews were
long ago seized and slaughtered
or deported, according to the
Intergovernmental Committee's
information.
Emigrants Must Give Up
Prosperity to Go to Zion
LONDON, Nov. 28 (JTA) —
Bulgarian Jews desiring to emi-
grate to Palestine will be obliged
to abandon all property and sign
waivers of future claims, the
Sofia radio announced. The
broadcast quoted an announce-
ment by the Palestine Office in
Sofia, which arranges for the
emigration of Jews, revealing
that it has been informed by the
Ministry of the Interior that emi-
grants will be required to sign a
declaration abandoning all move-
able and 1 - nmovable property and
renouncing all claims against
banks or individuals.

Revising American Policy
Toward Zion
The U. S., according to Prof.
Friedrich, should adopt a policy
calling for:
1. Removal of present restric-
tions on the movement of people
into and out of Palestine.
2. Removal of restrictions to
settlement and reclamation, such
as restrictions on land purchase.
3. Removal of restrictions on
the movement of goods into and
out of Palestine, as far as prac-
ticable.
4. A program of rapid and
large-scale economic develop-
ment, including basic reclama-
tion and irrigation works, in-
dustrial development and the
like, with a view to maximizing
absorptive capacity.
5. Opposition tb all efforts to
use political maneuvers, especial-
ly terror, for the purpose of pre-
venting the development of a
Jewish majority, should the
Jews throughout the world con-
tinue to back development in
Palestine and thus bring this
about.
6. Participation in such inter-
national authorities as may be
required to insure an unimpeded
implementation of natural econ-
omic trends.
In making his recommenda-
tions, Prof. Friedrich states:
"Now is the time for the
United States to decide upon a
definite and constructive policy
toward the Jewish National
Home in Palestine. It should be
a policy in keeping with our
general objectives, and it should
be one which we are prepared
to back and see through."

Hills Country Club 6th War Loan
Drive, was made by Max J.
Zivian, who serves with J. J.
Tobias as co-chairman of the
drive.
"This figure has been reached,"
said Zivian, "through the untir-
ing and unrelenting drive of 25
Franklin Hills gallants.
"Although most of this amount
was subscribed by Franklin Hills
members, thousands of dollars
were accounted for in sales, made
by the gallants to non-members."
"Our gallants are not quitting,"
continued Zivian, "content with
their early showing. The drive
will go on through the month of
December with increasing fervor
and effort rather than any signs
of let-down."

NEW YORK — The National
Association of Women Lawyers
has adopted a resolution urging
passage by Congress of the pend-
ing Palestine resolutions which
call on the U. S. to "use its good
office and take appropriate mea-
sures the end that the doors of
Palestine shall be opened for free
entry of Jews into that country,
and that there shall be full op-
portunity for colonization so that
the Jewish people may ultimate-

and democratic Jewish common-
wealth."
This was announced by Eliza-
beth F. Vilkomersori, who intro-
duced the resolution on behalf of
the International Relations Com-
