Recalls FDR Meeting
Dr. Wise, chairMan of the
rally, re;called his last meeting
with the late President Roosevelt
shortly after his return from
Yalta.
"One of the objectives Presi-
dent RooseVelt pursued was to
bring about an understanding in
the Near East of what the re.
building of Palestine had already
come to mean, and what it might
bring by way of example and of
influence, to the surrounding
Arab peoples," Dr. Wise said. He
added: "In fewest words I wish
you to know that some of us
were privileged soon after his
inauguration to meet with. Presi-
dent Truman.
"Without hesitation and with-,
out reservations he declared to
us, 'I ..- shall follow the program
of President Roosevelt in rela-
tion. ;to Palestine.' My associates
and I who met with him are
persuaded not only that Presi-
dent Truman in his own words
acCepts and will carry out the
conviction, he will move_ to
