Buy An Extra

PARIS, (JTA) — Two mem-
bers of the. Vichy militia haVe
been condemned to death for
complicity in the assassination of
Georges Mandel, Minister of the
Interior in the Reynaud Cabinet
at the time of France's capitula-
tion. Mandel, who was Jewish,
was killed last July, at which
time the Germans announced
that he met his death when
members of the French Forces
of the Interior attacked a car
in which he was being trans-
ferred from one prison to an-
other.
The two condemned men,
George Neron and Pierre Beoro,
were bodyguards for two militia
officials - and a German officer
who supervised the execution.

good . job," he declared. He em-
phasized that the Christians of
this country are friendly to the
cause and that the results of the
efforts of the past few months
indicate not • only that the Con-
ference was right in its actions
of last year but that "th.e Presi-
dent, and the House Foreign Af-
fairs Committee vote with you"
and expressed confidence that
Congress will vote with the Con-
ference in favor of a Jewish
Commonwealth.
Asks Renewed Efforts
"This is still seed time, not
fruit time," he added, and since
there has not yet been announced
a new policy. for Palestine he
called for renewed efforts be-
cause "we are .going to win a
free Palestine the very hard
way." He declared that a war
still has to be waged on the rav-
ages of neglect in Palestine, on
the enemies in our own midst,
"on the callousness and indiffer-
ence of the world that has re-
conciled itself to our homeless-
ness," "a war for what I .believe
will be the only good thing that
will emerge for Israel out of the
horror of this war." -
Declaring that *‘we could not
rescue a fraction of a. fraction of
a fraction of our people," he
warned we are/ entering upon
a decade or two of trying and
desperate times and asserted that
"for that one good we- must ex-
e't ourselves to the utmost."
His address was especially
moving when he referred to the
terrorism in Palestine, and the
mounting tension that must be re-
lieved. The things that are hap-
pening, he .declared "are foreign
to the nature of our people" and
asked how long can a people Put
up with the difficulties that have
been placed in the path of Jews
seeking escape from persecution.
"There is one sure way of end-
ing terrorism in PaleStine," he
declared, "and that is the imple-
mentation of the Balfour Declar-
ation and the Palestine Mandate.
Labor Committee Bolts
,Among the most serious issues
that. faced: the Conference was
the question of seating the dele-
gates from the Jewish People's
Fraternal Order.
In spite of opposition from the
JewiSh Labor Committee, these
delegates were admitted to the
Conference and the .Labor Com-
