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..

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.
