AMERICA
The Greater Cleveland Relief Committee
for Central Europe, a new organization form-
ed to aid "The suffering people of Germany",
is led largely by pre-war Nazi sympathizers
and German-American Bundists, Eugene Segal
reports from Cleveland. Similar groups are
organizing. in New York.
Evidence of a 5,000 year old "heroic" cul-
•
ture, antedating - by 3,500 years the so-called.
Teutonic heroic age on which Nazi racists bas-
ed their Aryan superiority theory, has been
uncovered by Dr. Samuel Noah Kramer, asso-
ciate curator of the Babylonian collection at
the University of Pennsylvania Museum.
General Eisenhower's directive ordering
"priority treatment" for foreign Jews on Ger-
man soil, is still being disobeyed by his aides
in Jewish DP camps in the U. S. occupation
zone, Victor Bernstein, PM staff correspondent,
reports from Landsberg, Germany.
The American Jewish Conference charges
that the American Jewish Committee and the
American Council for Judaism were "jamming
the wires" with propaganda in opposition to
the efforts of responsible organs of American-
Jewish opinion, as organized in the American-
Jewish Conference and its affiliate's, with a
view to "weakening the impact of organized
Jewish influence and to confuse the issue."
PALESTINE
The Palestine Post quoted, the military com-
mander of the Tel Aviv area as estimating that
10-year-olds comprised 50 per cent of the
rowdies responsible for several riotous days in
Tel following the Jewish general strike
Nov. 14, in protest against Bevin's Palestine
statement in Parliament.
The Palestine Post, by implication, blames
the police and military authorities. "In view
of the orderly dispersal of crowds of demon-
strators in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, how did
it come about that young street ruffians were
able to take things in their own hands in Tel
Aviv? There is nothing to make intelligible
the tragedy which disfigured Tel Aviv and
has given the enemies of the Jewish cause the
weapon they need to debase it . . . This
provocation was all that was needed to show
up (the Jewish leadership's) alleged weakness
as a guiding influence in Jewish Palestine
. . . It would be wicked to identify this shoddy
episode with the expression of Jewish resist-
ance to (present) policy ."
OVERSEAS
A world organization of Jewish combatants
and resistance fighters was formed at a con-
ference in Paris Nov. 11 attended by Jewish
soldiers from all allied armies and leaders of
the Jewish anti-Nazi underground in Europe.
Speakers included David ben Gurion, chair-
man of the Jewish Agency Executive, and
members of the Jewish Brigade, the American,
British and Dominion forces, and • the French,
Belgian and Polish armies who urged the .es-
tablishment of Palestine as a Jewish Common-
wealth.
Had 10 British soldiers been willing to in-
tervene, the Arab pogrom in Tripoli, which
was brewing for weeks and which resulted in
the murder of over 100 Jewish men, women
and children, and the death from injuries of 23
more, might easily have been averted, Samson
.Arami, a Tripoli Jew who managed to -nee
to Tunis, reports. The pogrom in Tripoli was
worse than the Cairo anti-Jewish riots, Aram].
said. It was incited by Arabs from Cairo who,
for weeks, harangued the Arab populace of
Lybia, particularly in Tripolitania, to murder
Jews and loot their possessions.
France cannot turn over to the British Haj
Amin el Husseini, former Mufti of Jerusalem
under indictment as a war criminal, because
the British have not requested his extradition,
according to prominent figures in the French
parties victorious in the recent elections.
The first sum of 100,000 fratics has been
emitted to the Central Jewish Childrens'
Comtnittee in Paris by a newly formed com-
mittee in Algiers collecting funds for Jewish
orphans in France. The committee was estab-
lished by Dr. Eisenbet, and is under the pat-
ronage of the Grand Rabbi of Algeria.
Despite efforts by the two Palestine dele-
gates to get the World Youth Conference to
go on record in favor of a Jewish State in
Palestine, the conference, which ended its two
week session sidestepped the Palestine pro-
blem.
All but 118 out of 3,716 Polish Jews living
in towns in the Austrian Tyrol have refused
to register with a special Polish Government
Commission in Vienna for repatriation to Po-
land, and demand that they be' allowed to im-
migrate into Palestine.
British military authorities in Germany are
blocking the marriages of scores of Jewish
girls, survivors of Belsen Death Camp, to Jew-
ish soldiers in the British Army and members
of the Jewish Brigade, on suspicion that the
marriages are only a ruse to get the girls into
Britain and Palestine.
Bearing blue and white Zionist flags, thous-
ands of Jewish combat . veterans of both world
wars, Jewish Partisan Fighters, and Nazi death
camp survivors, marched through the streets
of Paris in the first peace time Armistice Day
celebration since 1939.
A statement on illegal immigration into Pal-
estine, quoting the Assistant District Police
Superintendent of Tiberias as saying that for
every illegal Jewish immigrant entering Pal--
estine, 50 Arabs entered without permits, was
misrepresented, Colonial Secretary Hall as- •
serted in reply to questions in Commons.
Jews still quartered in the former Belsen
death camp live in terror of their lives from
nightly attacks by bands of Polish fellow-
inmates, armed with rifles and grenades seized
from demobilized German soldiers, who beat
and rob Jews of their last remaining posses-
sions and assault Jewish women, it is reported
from Belsen. The • Polish bands sometimes
collaborate with gangs of loitering Germans
in attacking Jews. Recently a Jewish inmate
named Szwimrner was shot because he re-
fused to surrender his possessions. The Jewish
Central Committee of Belsen is attempting to
organize a self-protection guard but Br-itish
military authorities refuse to supply the. in-
mates with arms..

Detroit Zionists Ask Truman
To Reject Policy of Delay
Zionist Council Takes Action to Mobilize Opinion Here
Against Latest British Proposals Which Would Mean
Delay in Rescuing European Jews
Detroit Zionists were mobilized this week to join in the fight
against the latest British action to whittle down the pledges made
•to the Jewish people for the establishment of the Jewish National
Home in Palestine.
Benjamin M. Laikin, president of the Zionist Council of Detroit,
announced on Thesday that hundreds of messages have gone forth
to President Truman urging him to adhere to his stand in favor of
the immediate adthission of 100,000 Jews into Palestine and to
oppose the British po,Jicy of delay which threatens the lives of tens
of thousands of Jews in Europe.
Detroit Jews are urged to communicate with the President and
to appeal to him not to abandon the policy of asking for immediate
action as against the inhuman policy of procrastination.
