Gillette Urges U. S.
To Back 'Provisional
Hebrew Government'
NEW YORK—The U. S. was
called upon to immediately back
"a Provisional Hebrew Govern-
ment" and support a Palestinian
Republic, in addresses • by Sen-
ator Elbert D. Thomas, chairman
of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, and former Senator
Guy M. Gillette, president of the
American League for a Free Pal-
estine, delivered over a national
ABC hookup, Julhe 18. Entitled
"America's Answer to Bevin on
Palestine," the program was
sponsored by the American
League.
Senator Thomas said that, if
the British really want peace in
the Middle East, "first of all they
should stop promoting war." He
scorned the need for American
troops to back up the transfer of
100,000 Hebrews from Europe to
Palestine.

threat exists to the peace and
security of Palestine, Senator
Thomas said "let him tell the
Security Council of the UN which
countries, which armies, which
generals plot the attack. If Brit-
ain is incapable of maintaining
tranquility in Palestine, then it
is further proof of her unfitness
to continue to hold the Mandate."
Senator Thomas said, "Amer-
ica will give ever increasing sup-
port to the stalwart Hebrews in
- their fight for survival and
freedom.
