The Jewish Community's Family Newspaper THE JEWISH NEWS VOL. 9—NO. 12 A Weekly Review 2114 Penobscot Bldg. of Jewish Events Detroit 26, Michigan, June 7, 1946 RA. 7956 4W4.22 America's Leading English- Jewish Newspaper $3.00 Per Year; Single Copy, 10c Soviet Press Charges Britain Stirs Conflict Between Arabs, Jews MOSCOW (JTA)—The newspaper Izvestia, official organ of the Soviet gov- ernment, charged in an article on May 30 that Britain was fostering hostility between Jews and Arabs in Palestine in order to create a situation which would enable it to retain the Mandate and continue to keep troops there. The recommendations of the Anglo-American inquiry committee have sal- t, isfied neither the Jews nor the Arabs, according to the article, which was writ- ten by Vladimir Maev, and have created extreme tension in Palestine; thus endangering the peace of the entire Middle East. Stating that the inquiry com- mittee was set up against the will of the Arabs and Jews, the article says that it was a private body of the British and American governments and conse- quently cannot force its decision on either of the two parties. Responsibility for what occurs in Palestine, it adds, will rest upon these two countries. N. (The Palestine problem could be settled effectively only by the United Nations, the Moscow radio said in an Arabic broadcast in which it also said that the rec ommendations of the Anglo-American inquiry committee provide no solution to the problem, a JTA dispatch from London declares.) Britain has converted Palestine and Transjordan into an armed camp so that it may keep watch over the Suez Canal and preserve its dominant role in the Middle East, Maev charges. He said that the British have complete 'control of the air in the Middle East because of the many airfields in Palestine and are planning to station large numbers of troops in Transjordan.

She is shown in front of the line of displaced Jews awaiting processing at a reception center in Ger- many. Bela, whose parents were murdered at Oswiecim, arrived •in N. Y. last week by plane and was met by her new parents. Referring to the Arab League, he accused certain of its leaders of being more inter- ested in ensuring foreign domination in Arab countries than in protecting the interests of the Arab people. The article said that Abdul Rahman - Azzam Bey, secretary general of the League, was opposed to turning the Palestine question over to the United Nations. Mrs.. Schaver, Congress Group Ousted From DP I Reich Camps by UNRRA Hebrew U.'s Aid Played Role in Rommel's Defeat NUREMBERG (JTA)—The World Jewish Con- - gress cultural delegation headed by H. Leivick, Yiddish poet and .playwright, has been ordered by the UNRRA to leave Germany. The delegation has been in Germany for five weeks. Besides Mr. Leivick, it includes Israel Efros, Hebrew poet, and Emma Lazaroff Schaver, De- troit opera singer. The . delegation, which has been enthusias- tically received by the displaced Jews during its visits to camps in the American zone, was told by UNRRA, to which it was formally attached, that it would have to cut short its tour since its activities were not in harmony with UNRRA's principles. (In New York UNRRA Director-Gen. LaGuardia Supplied Crystals For Wireless Sets Used by Montgomery TEL AVIV, (Palcor)—Quartz. crystals for wireless sets pro- , vided by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem were responsible to a great extent for the success- ful invasion of Tunisia, in 1943, by General Sir Bernard Mont- gomery's Eighth Army, which led to the defeat of . Rommel's Afrika Korps and set the stage for . the invasion of Europe, it was revealed here by Edward Rosen, member of Lord Hankey's Technical Personnel Committee, a civil service body in London interested in the training of scientific personnel. Mr. Rosen disclosed that a high authority in the Middle East in- formed Lord. Hankey's Commit- tee that had it not been for the quartz crystals provided by the Hebrew University for Mont- gomery's Army attacking Rom- mel's Maret line across southern Tunisia, it is doubtful if the cam- paign would have succeeded. Mr. Rosen reported 'that in gratitude for the work of the Hebrew University, the British Government has sent the Uni- versity a gift of 15 large cases of radio and electronic equipment for is physics department, iden- tical to the equipment used by Oxford and Cambridge. Mr. Rosen, who is touring the Near East on behalf of his firm of radio manufactufers, Ultra Electric Ltd., said that in his opinion Palestine is the only country in this part of the world where there are enough technic- ians to handle radio communica- tion equipment. For this reason, he said, he is investigating the possibilities of establishing a radio assembly plant in Palestine. He predicted that there will be a television transmission station in Palestine within two years. U. S. interest in Palestine is motivated chiefly by a desire to strengthen its position in the Middle East, the article says. It points out that America is already firmly estab- lished in Arabia and Lebanon and has now entered into relations with Yemen. told Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the World Jew- ish Congress, that authorities in Germany had no right to halt the activities of the delegration.)
