Mrs. Weizmann
Hits 'Search Blitz'
By British Troops
REHOVOTH (Palcor)—The destruc-
tion suffered by Jewish establishments
and settlements, as a result of the- re-
cent "search blitz" was likened to that
seen after pogroms in Czarist Russia -
or in war devastated areas by Mrs. Vera
Weizmann, wife of Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann, president of the Jeivish Agency.
Mrs. Weizmann described the mili-
tary action in Tel-Aviv and told of
seeing swastikas and the inscription
"death to the Jews" scrawled on walls
in that city and in settlements which
troops entered shouting "Heil Hitler.'
At the Bank Hapealin (Workers Bank)
in Tel-Aviv, Mrs. Weizmann related, the
officer in charge shouted "what you
need is a gas chamber."
"Through gaping holes in, the
walls and smashed windows one
could see furniture and crockery
deliberately and maliciously smash-
ed." Mrs. Weizmann charged, stat-
ing:
"One wonders whether the object of
such a blitz could have been discovery
of terrorists or a punitive expedition.
One wonders who are the British who
have perpetrated such acts as these.
I've never met them in England or in
other parts of the Empire I've visited.
I recall when Jewish terrorists here
committed acts of violence all of Jewish
Palestine publicly expressed condemna-
tion, but I am yet to hear any similar
disavowals by British authorities.,"
`Death of a Community'
Meyer Levin, Jewish Telegraphic Agency cor-
respondent who has covered the war throughout
Europe, describes the rise and fall of the Jewish
colony of Yagur, Palestine; his visit there 20 years
ago, a return visit in 1929 when he helped defend
the colony against Arab raids; and how the British
recently destroyed' the settlement in their search for
arms. . . . See Page 16.
Voice Protests: Massing in a
giant demonstration in New York City
to "fight Britain's tyranny. in Pales-
tine," the crowd, shown on right; flaunts
a banner with a swastika on it. At the
same time the crowd was demonstrat-
ing in New York, four members of the
JewiSh Agency for Palestine (above)
called on President Truman at the
White House in Washington. Left to
right, the group, shown before the
executive mansion door, includes LOUIS
LIPSKY, RABBI ABBA H. SILVER,
RABBI STEPHEN S. WISE and DR.
NAHUM GOLDMANN. They were ad-
vised by Truman that the U. S. had
not been consulted on measures adopt-
ed by the British government. President
Truman expressed regret ''over the Pal-
estine occurrences and said he hoped
there would be no interference with ef-
forts to settle 100,000 Jews in Palestine,
