Conference Group
Plans Permanent
Successor to AJC

NEW YORK. — Large areas of
agreement with regard to-the or-
ganization of a permanent body
to succeed the American Jewish
Conference are in prospect fol-
lowing several preliminary meet-
ings of the Committee on Future
Organization of the Conference,
held during the summer, Dr. Mau-
rice N. Eisendrath, chairman of
the committee, announced.
"Events over recent months
have confirmed my conviction
that it is possible for all segments
of Jewish life in America to come
to an understanding. We were
encouraged in this belief at the
Parish Peace Conference where,
for the first time in history, all
Jewish organizations represented
there were able to unite in a pub-
lic document. There is also in-
creasing unity in respect to the
work that has been carried on by
the American Jewish Conference
in the field of assistance to the
Jewish displaced persons in Eu-
rope and to the settlement of the
Palestine problem," Dr. Eisen-
drath stated.

Cessation of searches, especial-
ly in the agricultural settle-
ments which have obviously
nothing to do with terrorism;
3—The release of all the Jewish
immigrants interned in Cyprus,
as a gesture of good will.

Prime Minister Attlee has re-
ceived a reply from President
Truman to the British Premier's
sharp note of last Friday in which
he protested the issuance by the
President of his statement on
Palestine. The Presiderirs com-
munication will be discussed by
the Cabinet.
It was reported in Washington.
Mr. Truman had reiterated his
proposals for a solution of the
Palestine problem . and queried
Mr. Attlee as to whether his gov-
ernment planned to follow the
recommendations.
Replies by the government to
a series of written questions on
Palestine submitted by members
of Parliament during the Parlia-
mentary recess are expected to
be made during the next week.
