Refugees Threaten to Sink
Ship in Italy and to Drown

1,040 Aboard Vessel Anchored in La Spezia, Italy, Start
Hunger Strike; Determined to Sail to Palestine;
Refuse to Leave for Internment Camp -

(Special JTA Cable to The Jewish News)

LA SPEZIA, Italy: An ultimatum to the effect that they
would sink the ship and drown with it, was voiced Tuesday
by 1,040 refugees aboard the Fede in defiance to orders to
disembark and to accept internment in the former Fascist con-
centration camp 40 miles from here.
Determined to remain aboard the vessel until she sailed

for Palestine, the refugees, ofd.
whom only a few were children
and expectant mothers, started
upon a hunger strike Monday.
In the meantime, the Jewish
community of La Spezia tele-
graphed the Pope, the Russian,
American and British ambassa 7
dors, and the Anglo-American
Inquiry committee to intervene
on behalf of the refugees.
Dr. Umberto Nachin, repre-
sentative of the local Jewish
Community, reported that the
refugees are maintaining disci-
pline and. good spirits during the
hunger strike, from which chil-
dren and mothers are exempt.
(From Jerusalem it was report-
ed that the Vaad Leumi cabled
President Truman and Prime
Minister Attlee to allow the ship
to embark for Palestine.
(The JTA, in a cable from
Jerusalem, reported that the feel-
ing there is that the Palestine
government is determined to op-
pose "illegal" immigration above
the 1,500 monthly quota, and
therefore, ordered the Italians to
arrest the La Spezia refugees.
David Ben Gurion, chief of the
Jewish Agency, said that the La-
Spezia incident was the first time
Britain had fought Zionists out-
side of Palestine.)

`Beneath the Surface'
By Maxwell Berger
A Commendable Book

Rabbi Maxwell Berger's "Be-
neath the Surface," just published
by Bloch Publishing Co., New
York, is a very useful volume
from several points of view.
It is not only informative, but
its contents are supplemented by
chronologies which should prove
very helpful to the Jewish stu-
dents and to the general reading
public.
Rabbi Berger deals with Bibli-
cal history, the Patriarchate, the
Exodus and the settlement of the
Irsaelites in Palestine.
Illustrated by maps tracing the
Biblical history, the volume real-
istically describes the history of
our forefathers and the Patri-
archs.
The author, at present director
of education of the Palestine His-

tadrut Committee in Pittsburgh,
is a native of Palestine. He came
to Canada in 1926, to the U. S. in

1931, and is the son of a well

known Toronto rabbi. He is a
graduate of the Hebrew Theolog-
ical College and the Yavne Acad-
emy.
