WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Nine United States Senators sent a
joint letter to President Truman requesting him, through direct
communication with Prime Minister Attlee of Great Britain, to
"press again and without let-up" for the immedi-
'ate admission of the 100,000 European Jews into
Palestine, Senator Robert F. Wagner of New York
announced.
Joining with Senator Wagner in urging the
President to "use your influence to put an end to
slow death and torture by committees, investiga-
tions, and other delaying devices," were Senators
Taft of Ohio, Ferguson of Michigan and Lafollette
of Wisconsin, Republicans; and Senators Mead of
New York, Huffman of Ohio, Tunnell of Delaware,
Johnson of Colorado and Guffy of Pennsylvania,
Sen. Ferguson Democrats.
"Action, not more committees, is what is required today," they
emphasized.
"It is high time," said the Senators, "that British leaders gave
heed to the urgent promptings of the President of the nation that
helped to keep the British people themselves from being ex-
