Wise, joint ghairmen of the American __Zionist Emergency Council, hail- ed the passage by both houses' of Congress of the Palestine Resolution calling on the U. S. to "use - its good offices with the mandatory power to the end that Palestine shall be opened for free entry of Jews into that country to the maxi- mum of its agricultural and econ- 0 omic potentialities." In telegrams sent to President of the Senate McKellar (D., Tenn.) and Speaker of the House Rayburn (D., Texas), Dr. Silver and Dr. Wise declared that adop- tion of the resolution "has served notice on those who would de- liberately scrap the historic inter- national pledge made by the na- tions of the world a -quarter of a century ago, and who would stifle the cry of agony that comes to us from the ruins of Europe, that the American people con- tinue to regard that pledge as morally and legally compulsive and will seek its fulfillment."

Jewish Agency Hails Passage of Resolution JERUSALEM, (JTA)—Official spokesmen for Palestine's Jews hailed passage by Congress of the Palestine resolution urging free entry of Jews into this country and unrestricted land settlement. A Jewish Agency representa- tive told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the action of Con- gress would be "a powerful counterblast to the anti-Zionist designs. As against the bogging down of the issue in fact-finding; the Congressional resolution re establishes the cardinal principle that Palestine is the solution of the Jewish problem," he added. Raids on Jews Resumed After Lull of 3 Weeks 'JERUSALEM, (JTA)—After a lull of three weeks, the authori- ties in Palestine have resumed H. B. Weisman Heads Zionist Chapter 1 rounding up Jews, on the pretext of • searching for 100 Jewish "illegal" immigrants who are al- leged to have landed here. Police and British troops lined all roads in Northern Palestine, stopping all vehicles, including buses, and checking on each Jewish passenger. Only Jews were requested to show identity documents; Arabs were not mo- lested. A number of Jews were taken.off several buSes and trans- ferred to a military camp near the Jewish settlement of Rosh- Pinah. It is the responsibility and duty of the British Government to act against the proposed 'Arab boy- Cott of Jewish goods manufactur- ed in Palestine, it was stated here at a meeting of representa- tives of the Jewish Agency, the Anglo-Palestine Bank, the Jew- ish Industrialists Association, the Jewish Chambers of Commerce and the Histadruth.

Major Portion of 34-Acre Site Is Available for Building Construction; Conveniently Situated in Fast-Growing Jewish Settlement An ordinance to rezone the Jewish Hospital site from resi- dential and business to hospital use was passed unanimously by the Detroit Common Council on Dec. 18 and sent to Mayor Edward Jeffries for his signature. Council's action followed the announcement by Max Osnos, president of the Jewish ,Hospital Association, that the Albert Kahn organization, architects, and Dr. J. J. Golub, hospital consultant, already have begun_ designing of the hospital, and makes available the major portion of a 34 acre site bounded by West McNichols Road, West Outer Drive, Lauder and Whitcomb. Avenues for build- ing construction, with the remainder to be utilized for landscap- ing, recreation, and parking. Selection and purchases of the land which - Council has re- zoned came after months of study by the Jewish Hospital Associa- tion's committee on site, of whiCh Frank A. Wetsman was chairman. Take All Factors Into Consideration Facing the. problem of choosing a location that would serve the community tomorrow as well as today, the committee took into consideration such factors as size, shape, and contour of land; character of .soil; water supply and pressure (a hospital consumes from 300 to 500 gallons a day per bed); adequacy of sewage dis- posal; . accessibility to patients and physicians; exposure to sun, wind, noise, sightly and unsightly surroundings; trends in popula- tion - movements; trends in shifts of commercial and industrial areas; and needs for future expansion. Numerous properties were studied before the committee recorn- mended, and the Association approved and bought, the present 34 acres. Located conveniently to the fast-growing new northwest area of Jewish settlement, the _site provides generous area for ultimate development of the initial 200-bed unit into a comprehensive Jew- . ish medical center for the acutely and chronically ill, out-patient service, convalescent care, research and education. • Three Other Institutions to Be Erected With three other institutions—Catholic Central High School, the Evangelical Home for Orphans and the Scovel Memorial Pres-z byterian Church—planning construction directly to the east and north of the Jewish hospital site, it is anticipated that the hospital will take its place as a _major unit in one of the most impressive neighborhood center developments in Detroit. , Canadian Zionist Organization To Raise $1.500.00 for UJA MONTREAL, (JTA)—The. ex- ecutive, committee of the Zionist Palestine Firm- Forms Organization of Canada announc- Chemical Fertilizer Fcty. ed that it hopes to raise ,$1,500,- 000 for the United Jewish Appeal JERUSALEM (ZOA)—A fac- in Canada in 1946..
