Special JTA Cable to The Jewish News
WASHINGTON—Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson, chairman
of the American delegation on the Anglo-American Inquiry.
Committee which has just completed an extensive investiga-
tion of the refugee problem in Europe in regard to immi-
gration to Palestine, arrived here this week to submit his
report to President Truman.
The official report, to be re-
leased simultaneously in Wash-
ington and London, is expected to
make recommendations for the
immediate immigration of 100,000
European Jews into Palestine.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency,
at the same time, learned that the
joint committee will recommend
that Palestine should come under
the authority of the United Na-
tions Trusteeship Council when
it is formed.
Truman to Study Report
President Truman was due to
release the report after a care-
ful study, following his return
from the funeral of Chief Justice
Harlan Stone.
It was understood that the com-
mittee has reached no conclusions
concerning a future Palestine
State, but it does recommend that
the Jewish Agency continue to
control immigration to the extent
of deciding who is to enter.
The report, it is believed, tears
the White Paper to shreds in
that many of the restrictions are
criticized, including the clause
which restricts Jewish land pur-
chases in the Yishuv. The com-
mittee, it is reported, does not
offer a "permanent solution" to
the Palestine problem.
Hears Army DP Heads
Before the joint committee left
Lausanne, Switzerland, where the
various subcommittees met to
consolidate their reports, Brig.
Gen. Stanley Michelson, head of
the U. S. army DP operations in
Germany, and Col. Dorsey Stev-
ens, who heads a similar group in
Austria, reported that if red tape
were removed, all Jews in the
American zone of occupation and
another 100,000 could be moved to
Palestine within two to four
weeks. •
From London, Reuters reports
arriving from Lausanne declared
that Zionist spokesmen said that
Zionists would reject the report
because it fails to recommend a
Jewish State.
Judge Hutcheson and Sir John
Singleton, who is the British co-
chairman, completed deliberations
on April 20, well within the 120-
day period allotted the commit-
tee to make the survey. Despite
all the rumors which have been
circulated in recent weeks, and
despite the frequently acrimoni-
ous debate which occurred while
the recommendations were being
drafted, no minority report was
written.
Simultaneous Release
From here on, the fate of
Palestine rests in the hands of the
two governments and the Anglo-
American inquiry committee no
longer exists. It is assumed that
the State Department and the
Foreign Office will contact each
other for the purpose of arrang-
ing simultaneous releases of the
report in Washington and Lon-
don.
It is not known yet if the re-
port will be released immediately,
or whether the two governments
will first consult as to the de-
cisions to be taken on the basis
of the report, and release it only
when they are ready to announce
these decisions. It is understood
that when the committee visited
Foreign Minister Bevin during its
hearings in London, he intimated
that whatever they recommended
would be acted upon. -
The committee, in part or in
whole, visited London, Paris,
Bari, Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich,
Nuremberg, Frankfurt, Prague,
Warsaw, Cairo, Jerusalem, Beirut,
Damascus, Baghdad and Riyad,
studying the problems of the
Jews of Europe both in and out
of displaced persons camps and
in the Middle East, and the prob-
lems of Palestine.
Poale Zion Disputes
Hecht's Claims of
Underworld Rescue
NEW YORK (JPS)—The Labor
Zionist Organization of America
(Poale Zion) has challenged alle-
gations made by Ben Hecht, au-
thor and playwright, at a press
conference here April 13, that he
and former Congressman Will
Rogers, Jr., co-chairmen of the
American League for a Free Pal-
estine, a Peter H. Bergson affili-
ate, represent an "underground
railway" bringing homeless Eu-
ropean Jews into Palestine.
"Neither Mr. Hecht nor his
associates have any connection
with the existing organization in
Europe which is planning and
carrying out the activities of res-
cue and immigration," the Labor
Zibnists state. "No boats or ships
have been operated by Mr. Hecht
or his organization for the pur-
pose of transporting Jews in any
of the countries which he men-
tioned, Italy France, Greece or
Turkey."
panding program," declared
Moshe Hirsh, recently arrived
shaliach (delegated representa-
tive) from Palestine.
The German-born Chalutz who
lives in the collective colony at
Hamodia emphasized the need
for a powerful chalutziut move-
ment in America. He asserted
that although it is of utmost im-
portance to get all possible Eur-
opean Jews into Palestine, we
must not lose sight of our long
term goals.
"After the present immigration
of European refugees dries up,
our main source of chalutzim
will be the youth of the Ameri-
can Jewish community. In addi-
tion we must have right now a
continual flow of some Ameri-
can chalutzim, for the majority
of incoming European Jews will,
for a period of time, be incapable
of the hard physical labor that
is necessary. We must not allow
the young American chalutzim,
now in training, to grow old. A
number of immigration certifi-
cates must be allotted to them
to encourage such youth move-
ments as Habonim," he asserted.
Hirsh was born in East Prus-
sia, near Koenigsberg. He came
to Palestine at the age of 14 in
1936; his parents followed him
there in 1939.
As the new shaliach for this
district of Habonim, he will make
his headquarters in Chicago. He
is the first of several shalichim
who will be trained in. Palestine
