PALESTINE
An American Flying Fortress from U. S.
Army Headquarters in Frankfort, Germany, ar-
rived at the airport at Lydia to take on three
tons of books, especially Hebrew textbooks,
contributed by the Jewish Agency for Palestine,
for Jewish inmates of displaced persons camps
in the U. S. zone of Germany. The shipment
includes books about Palestine. The plane
also carried Hanukah candles and prayer books
for the Jewish DPs, sent by the Joint Dis-
tribution Committee in Palestine. . . . A second
U. S. plane is expected to arrive from Germany
to transport two Jewish Palestine relief teams
organized by the Jewish Agency to begin super-
vision of welfare activities at Jewish DP
camps. Captain Lipman of the U. S. Army
will serve as liasion officer with the Jewish
agency.
Normal operations of the Tel-Aviv port,
suspended since the outbreak of the war, were
resumed as the first civilian passenger in six
years landed from a British ship. The first
Danish ship to anchor since the outbreak of
the war is loading citrus fruit for Scandinavian
countries. Danish vessels, before the war, car-
ried the bulk of Palestine's citrus output to the
countries of northern Europe.

THE JEWISH NEWS

A new wave of anti-Jewish pogroms, in
which even the police of certain towns have
joined, is sweeping Poland, and the Govern-
ment is unable to cope with the situation, the
Dziennik Polsi, Polish daily published in Lon-
don by the foes. of the Warsaw Government,
reports. In the town of Dzialoszyc, Kielce dis-
trict, policeman participated, with anti-Semitic
bands, in hunting down Jews who just
emerged from German concentration camps or
from hiding in the forests, the paper says.
British Army authorities ordered the re-.
moval of Zionist slogans, inscribed in Hebrew,
Yiddish and English, on the gates of the form-
er Belsen death camp. The order is defied by
inmates of the camp, who each night write
new Zionist slogans on the gates, replacing the
ones taken down by the British.
All nine Jewish candidates for the Yugo-.
slavian Parliament. on Marshal Tito's govern-
ment ticket, have been elected.
President Edouard Benes of Czechoslovakia
greeting a deputation of Jewish community
leaders from Bohemia and Moravia, led by Dr.
Frisher, expressed keen interest and • under-
standing of the needs of surviving Czecho-
slovak Jews, particularly the restoration of
their property confiscated under the Nazi
regime. He asserted his abhorance of anti-
Semitism and thanked the Jewish leaders for
their report of the Jewish population's loyalty
and participation in the reconstruction of
Czechoslovakia's commerce and industry.
Relief parcels from Jewish organizations
abroad are being distributed among the Jew-
ish population of Poland, but, are still insuf-
ficient. Particularly lacking are warm clothes
for the coming winter, Dr. Emil Sommerstein,
chairman of the .Jewish Central Committee,
says. Dr. Sommerstein held conferences with
Rabbi Schonfield. of England, visiting here on
behalf of British Jewish relief organizations,
and with representatives of Polish Jewish
communities.
• A fast by Palestine's Jewish soldiers in
Cairo, and other points in the Middle East,
coinciding with a fast proclaimed by the
Palestine rabbinate, marked their protest
against Foreign Secretary Bevin's statement
restricting Jewish immigration to 1,500 per-
sons a month, and further delaying the Pales-
tine question.
Inmates of Jewish camps in Germany and
members of the Jewish Brigade in Europe
proclaimed a 24 hour hunger-strike in pro-
teSt against Bevin's statement.
A new agricultural framing center for
Jewish youth seeking to settle in Palestine
was inaugurated in the German village Gail-
lingen in the French zone of Germany, near
the Swiss frontier. About 500 young Polish
Jews, who have recently. fled there "from the
East," will comprise the bulk of the center's
population.
"There is a growing impression in gov-
ernment circles as well as in Zionist quarters,
that the only alternative to an outright battle
over the status of Palestine is the partition
of Palestine more or less along the lines of
the Peel Commission's report, allowing for
the creation of a Jewish and an Arab state,"
according to The Liberator, writing in the
London Observer.
Sir Robert Waley Cohen, president of the
United Synagogues of London, implied in an
address at a meeting of the Anglo-Jewish
Association that it is opportune now to form
an anti-Zionist worldwide Jewish Agency to
oppose the Jewish Agency for Palestine com-
prised of Zionists and non-Zionists. He told
the Association that it is significant that For-
eign Secretary Bevin did not once mention'
the Jewish Agency for Palestine, the Zionist
movement is shipwrecked and it is opportune
to form. a new' worldwide Jewish representa-
tion. The representative of ultra-Orthodox,
non-Zionist Agudath Israel, promptly disas-
sociated himself from Sir Robert Waley
Cohen's sentiments. Sir Robert is under fire
for having recently countermanded the Chief
Rabbi's telegram to synagogue wardens urg-
ing them to proclaim a Sabbath of solidarity .
with Jewry's claims on Palestine. His resigna-
tion from the presidency of the United Syna-
gogues has been widely demanded. •
Cardinal Primate of Hung a r y Josef
Mindszenti issued a pastoral letter to be read
in all churches of Hungary appealing to the
Hungarian people to revert to humane prin-
ciples and to friendly relations with the Jews.
He points out that God avenges Israel by
bringing down His divine wrath on all peo-
ple persecuting the Jews. He also alleged that
Hungarian Jews in Slovakia are deported
naked and barefooted across the border into
Hungary.
A report from a generally reliable -Warsaw
source reveals that the Polish government is
planning to deprive of their citizenship all
displaced Polish nationals in Germany who
refuse to return home, including Jewish.
DPs in German camps. Of the 85,000 dis-
placed Jews in the British and Aniericati zones
of Germany, 58,000 are Polish nationals.
These have previously declared that they
prefer to be stateless rather than return to
Poland.
