Attempt to Confiscate
JVA Documents in Zion
Is Charged By Neumann
NEW YORK—(JTA)—An at-
tempt by a Palestine Govern-
ment oficial to confiscate impor=
tant papers *connected with the
projected Jordan Valley Author-
ity was revealed here by Eman-
uel. Neumann, chairman of the
Commission on Palestine Sur-
veys.
Dr. Neumann, who has just re-
turned from Palestine where he
submitted the JVA plan to the
Anglo-American inquiry commit-
tee, said that while he was at
Lydda airfield, waiting to board
a plane for London, he was asked
by a government official to allow
luggage to be inspected. When
the official found numerous doc-
uments dealing with the JVA
project, he informed Dr. Neu-
mann that he •would have to im-
pound them.
The Zionist leader protested
that he had brought most of the
material with him from the Unit-
ed States and declared that he
would not leave without it, but
was told that "those are my or-
ders from Jerusalem." He was
finally permitted to leave with-
out surrendering the papers. He
attributed the incident to state-
ments he made while in Palestine
which were critical of British
rule' there.
Reporting that the Palestine
Government had submitted "un-
signed" memoranda to the Ang-
lo-American committee severely
criticizing the JVA plan, Dr. Neu-
mann said that James B. Hays
and John L. Savage, the Ameri-
can engineers who designed the
project, had refuted the memo-
randa before the committee and
expressed "amazement and dis-
tress that such memoranda were
submitted by persons who evi-
dently had no experience with
such large-scale projects."

Kreiter Bids Farewell
Editor, The Jewish News:
It is with genuine regret that
I am leaving Detroit at the end
of the week for a similar assign-
ment in the East. May I take
this opportunity to tell you how
much I enjoyed my association
with you and the cooperation
which The Jewish News extended
to us in our USO-JWB service-
men's program which has greatly
contributed to the success of our
work.
I should also like to extend
my deep appreciation to the
many hundreds of our local Jew-
ish organizations and their .USO
chairmen, committees, volunteer
junict and senior hostesses for
the splendid spirit in which they
cooperated with our office. in
carrying on our activities.
The Detroit Army and Navy
Committee is planning to con-
tinue these activities under the
supervision of the Jewish Corn-
munity Center and I know that
you, together with all our con-
stituency will see it through un-
til such time when there will be
no longer a need for them.
To each and every one of them
individually and to you I wish to
extend my best wishes for a
continued fruitful and commun-
ity-minded life.
