THE JEWISH NEWS
'White Paper Triumph?
Dr. Chaim Weizmctnn
Due in N. Y. Nov. 10
No bore Certificates
For Palestine. Remain
Special Cable to The Jewish News
JERUSALEM (JTA)—The Jewish -Agency announced on
Tuesday that not a single certificate remains for Jewish settlers
in Palestine under the White Paper.
• The Jewish Agency distributed 72,000 certificates and
the last 3,000 were distributed by the Palestine govern-
ment directly.
The announcement points out that emigration possibilities
from all European 'countries, including those in the Soviet
sphere, presently are good if the certificates were available.
The Agency states that during the year 5705, a total of
12,700 refugees entered Palestine.
The Palestine Post reports that a detachment of British
police armed with Tommy guns arrived suddenly at Mansoura
to police the post near Haifa which had been manned by 40
supernumerary Jewish policemen. The Jews were given two
hours to leave and were then replaced by a detachment of
Arabs. The Jewish unit had been guarding the Royal Navy
stores depot where 300 Jewish workers were employed.
Meanwhile, the police denied the truth of a police bulle-
tin issued Monday which declared that an armed group had
attempted to invade a naval depot near Athlit.
The British are continuing to pour in troops and naval
strength into Palestine. Additional troops arrived aboard the
troopship Ascania while four destroyers and one cruiser now
stationed at Haifa are patrolling the coast, apparently to pre-
vent illegal immigration.
LONDON (JTA)—The Daily Mail reports that 14 people
were killed during anti-Jewish riots in the city of Tripolis,
Lebanon, Monday. Troops were called out to quell, the riots
and to assume control of the town.

Retail Stores Spur

Many of the 65 retail stores
operating official -U,S. War Bond
issuing agencies are writing this
week to every person who pre-
* viously purchased a bond in their
stores urging that the purchase
- of a Victory Bond be given high
priority on their shopping liSts.

ry Co., 15211 Houston, suggested
thiS idea, which has been passed
on to all retailers' by the Detroit

Division of the Michigan War
Finance Committee.
Retail merchandising of War
Bonds was pioneered by Detroit
retailers who intend to make an
even more outstanding success of
this final Victory Loan than any
of the previous campaigns.
Encouraged by the fast pace
of bond 'sales during the - first
week of the drive, - the "Victory
Gallants", who • are the bond-sel-
lers among the retail store per-
sonnel; believe they will far ex-
ceed their present quotas. Their
_ranks are swelled now by many
of the -men' who -have returned
from the armed services. Sams,
Inc. has placed all bond-selling
activity in charge of two veter-
ans, Samuel Ziff and George
Schwartz.

Modern Techniques Used
To Reduce Anti-Semitism
American - Jewish Congress Aide Tells of Coney Island
Project to Ease Tensions Between Jews and
Non-Jewish Residents There
NEW YORK, (JTA)—The use of modern techniques of social
science to reduce tensions between- Jewish and non-Jewish resi-
dents of Coney Island, where a number of "incidents" have taken
place, was revealed here by Henry Epstein, chairman of the Com-
mission on Community Interrelations of the American Jewish Con-
gress, which is carrying out the program. Mr. Epstein was form-
erly solicitor-general of New York.
The project in Coney Island got under way late in 1944 follow-
ing a Yom Kippur "synagogue incident" when hoodlums broke up
holiday services in the Young Israel Synagogue. A "task force"
of the Commission, Mr. Epstein said, was assigned to the job of
fact-finding. These men and women included psychologists, public
opinion measurement experts, community organizers- and their
specialists.
They conducted public opinibn polls to learn the "gripes" and
Wants of the dominant racial and religous groups; trained local
residents to help with fact-finding; surveyed recreational, housing,
business; and school facilities ; helped the members of Youth Town
stage inter-racial activities; organized panels of community leaders
to work for common interests; and assisted in developing a program
of civic betterment in housing, health, teen-age recreation, and
other fields.
Some of the non-Jewish boys involved in the Y6m Kippur in-
cident are now cooperating with the Commission's staff in analyz-
ing reasons for conflict and seeking solutions, Mr. Epstein reported.

Nothing we can • eyer do can ade-
quAtely repay the more than 250,000
American heroes who died that we
might live.
But we can and must provide hospital
care and treatment for the hundreds of
thousands who are maimed and crippled
—some in body, some in mind.
To do less would be a lasting reproach
to the free institutions of democracy for
which they fought.
